Agreed. I just would'nt go out of my way to share that with others. I'd have a hard enough time dealing with that horror myself.

At a time when Germans have begun to embrace victimhood about the Second World War, projecting themselves as having suffered equally under RAF bombs, from Red Army rapes and under their Nazi masters on a scale that somehow equates with the millions upon whom Germany inflicted its savagery, Niemann’s story shatters this cosy attempt to retreat into shared pain.

Assuming that it's true that Germans have started to "embrace victimhood", this movie is called for.

I wonder when the Japanese are going to come to grips with their war crimes?
