My husband was stationed in Germany from 1978-1981. We went to Dachau Concentration Camp. It was absolutely the saddest place I’ve ever been. I remember being overwhelmed by emotions and I couldn’t help the tears. To actually stand in one of the barracks and see the bunks the prisoners slept on, so many names and dates carved into the old wooden bunks. To stand in front of the ovens, if you will, where the bodies were burned. To stand in the gas chamber where innocent humans thought they were going for a shower. Those images and more are forever burned into my memories. May we NEVER FORGET! 🙏🏻

First, let me state that I do not condone any of the actions of the guards, many low ranking German soldiers were placed in a no-win situation. Follow orders of those above you and carry out atrocities, or defy orders and be shot. Remember, at that time, especially in the Nazi regime, there was no such thing as an illegal order that didn't have to be followed. Again, I'm not trying to minimize what any of the prisoners went through, as it was humanity at it's worst. I just wanted to provide a little perspective on "following orders." In the military, as a low rank, you don't really have a choice. It's not like a civilian job where you can quit. At least since then there have been changes made which make certain military orders illegal.

It's not only that, but once a person has been dehumanised, then people do not feel it is wrong to torture or murder that person No need to consider whether or not that person has caused or is likely to cause the slightest harm to anyone any more than we would feel sympathy toward an ant we step on in the road, or a rat we find in our house. The government and the media can and frequently do dehumanise a whole category of people, and are doing so today. Native Germans had been brainwashed into viewing Jews (and homosexuals) just before WWII with similar hatred as many people today have been brainwashed into viewing illegal immigrants and paedophiles, and so believed that the treatment they received in the concentration camps was fully justified. It's the same story that has repeated time and time again throughout history, and actively encouraged by those in power. The easiest way to control people is to frst make them fear and/or despise "the other," then once enough hatred has been generated, promise some sort or radical solution to punish or eliminate "the other". Meanwhile all the problems in society can conveniently be blamed on "the other" so people do not blame their leaders. This is also the first thing that the military does to its soldiers in war situations. De-humanise the enemy so the soldier will not hesitate to kill them. They are not loving husbands, fathers or sons, but ragheads, kikes, gooks etc. who are not the same as "us" and do not deserve fair or humane treatment.

Recently there have been a few trials held in Germany for former workers at concentration camps. The law was changed so that it is ot necessary to prove direct involvement in the killings, but only to show complicity. However, the defendants are now very old. It tskes years to bring a case and witg each year, witnesses are also dying and are harder to find. I can't help feeling that it is too late to give real justice. Defendants can't even be named under German law, and any sentences given are trivial in relation to the crimes committed.

This man became mayor of a ritzy island resort town in 1951 and in 1962 a member of state parliament. He was never convicted of anything. And now the German ministry of 'justice' is going after any small minion who ever peeled a potato in a concentration camp.

Now, run along... and have a nice day!"_ These executions were not so much for retribution (although there was certainly an element of revenge). Rather, they were intended to show the victims and everyone else that there is at least some justice in the world. It was also a warning to others who might be so inclined - as if these executions deterred others who thought they could get away with similar behavior. Public executions deter no one, as history shows: In England iduring the Middle Ages picking pockets was a cpital offense, but pickpockets were very active during execution spectacles.. For a modern example, do a search for Idi Amin. For a more recent example there's mainland China's president and Politburo, which routinely authorizes the vivisection of political prisoners - while the prisoner is conscious! The Chinese get a twofer: the elimination of political opposition - and the sale of their organs is highly profitable. It's the Chinese version of _'Win-Win!'_ Many other heads of state and/or their subordinates often become sadistic as soon as the opportunity arises to do what'ever lurks in their evil hearts. As Macchiavelli wrote: _"Men are evil unless compelled to be good."_ Who was there to compel these prison guards to be good girls? They had no compulsion to rein in their sadistic tendencies - in fact, they were rewarded for expressing them. The more sadistic, the faster they got promoted! Abraham Lincoln observed that _"Nearly all men can stand adversity. But if you want to test a man’s character, give him power."_ True dat, Abe... Any citizen mistakenly arrested for the first time is made to understand right quick who's in charge - and more often than not, the one in charge (the one with the gun, the billy club, the taser, the mace) salivates for an opportunity to emphasize the distinction. Any cop with even the tiniest inclination to issue extra-judicial punishments has free rein to express himself - and that's just on a municipal level. Is it surprising that on the national or international level that when they're given power it's simply ratcheted up? Their power morphs from one-on-one with a gun, to using an army on their (perceived) enemies. Doesn't that explain a lot of the endless little wars that jack up our taxes, but never really resolve anything? And what could be safer for a bully than crushing an opponent with a military thatás one-twentieth the size of ours? The problem isn't only in these criminals; it is a part of our human nature. So, what can be done? I have no workable answers, but I'll sit up straight and pay attention to anyone who has a reasonable solution to the problems that always arise whenever an individual is given power over others. How can society compel someone with power to be good, instead of evil?

Normally, a hanged person drops through a trapdoor and the sudden jolt at the end of the fall causes the neck to break (this is the reason that the noose is so shaped, so that it will immediately cause the fatal fracture when the rope becomes taut). These condemned Nazis were standing on a flatbed truck when the noose was placed aroung their necks, and when the trucks drove away, they were left dangling in mid air, writhing around in a futile attempt to free themselves. Their last moments were not sudden or painless, the very reason the Soviets chose this specific method of execution! Given the savagery of the Nazis, especially to Soviet captives, these were quite mild means of execution...

Dehumanising, defined as *the psychological process of demonizing a person, making (s)he seem less than human and hence not worthy of humane treatment* always come before any atrocity can start. It is a neccesary process to enable one group of people to exploit/exterminate another group of people without remorse.

Just because this happened 80 or so years ago does not mean we've moved on from this kind of thinking. It can happen again. Be wary of demagogues. Be wary of anyone who likes to tell you only the things you want to hear. Be wary of anyone who spreads hate and lies. Do not mistake salesmanship for leadership - they're not the same thing.

Gloating at the deaths of others, no matter their crime, is not good for the soul. One may regret to varying degrees the ending of someone's life, one may feel satisfaction that justice has been delivered, but joy at their deaths is not at all edifying.

Having had so much power, granted by the government, I assume those women didn't really think anything was going to happen to them. This is an excellent example of groupthink, where you only surround yourself with those who think like you, and you wind up with a really distorted view of anything. What they did, I bet, became 'normal' to them because nobody was telling them it wasn't. When they realized the allies WERE going to hang them, I bet that came as one heck of a surprise

Everyone knew it, but it was better to feign ignorance. My grandfather came to this camp from a street in Gdańsk. The Gestapo caught him because he was selling meat, which was forbidden. He was 46 years old and had small children at home. He promised them that when he came home he would bring them candy... but he never came home. The Germans sent a letter to my grandmother asking her to buy my grandfather's ashes for 1,000 marks, but my grandmother had no money. That's why my Grandfather's grave is not there.
