The real problem is when a group holds a belief, to the point of certainty, that is not to be criticised or reasoned with. All beliefs, be they political or religious, should be held provisionally. We need to be skeptical of others and most importantly, our own beliefs and be willing and able to change them if necessary.

My grandfather was amongst the British troops that liberated Belsen concentration camp - he could never talk about what he saw. Unfortunately, I don't think this lady was correct in talking about 'fear'. Anti semitism has been around in Europe for centuries and it is not based on fear, in my opinion. Germany, pre WW2 was the most sophisticated European country with brilliant universities and manufacturing businesses. The people did not become anti semites through 'fear'. The problem was far deeper than that.

People don't shoot children, generally. It's one imposition at a time. Ordinary People obey authority, when they know it's wrong. And the impositions then become increasingly severe from the authority figure. "Round up the townspeople" "Shoot the fighting age males", "Bomb the buildings harbouring terrorists" Etc Etc By the time the order came to shoot children, the threshold of evildoing & obedience had long since passed

It was to my horror of what I saw: the pictures and where they were according to the historical aspects of it made me almost want to throw up. It's so sickening, very dark and lastly it had a overwhelming amount of sadness. I never been there but watching it made it feel like I was there through the video. I remembered seeing a movie in high school around that time. I couldn't fathom of what I have seen and the whole movie made me very angry I mean it's what I reacted to it at the time meaning that it was very upsetting to me to see the treatment towards innocent people.

@@desierhart7176 when I was walking around Auschwitz in the winter of 1993, I could still see ashes floating in pools of water. I remember getting more and more angry at the Germans for perpetrating this but then suddenly realized at the same time, anger is what created this place. It was so humbling, I cried. Later, on my way back to Amsterdam, I shared a train compartment with a young East German, Gunnar who was on his way to Med school. It was his first opportunity after the wall fell. He patiently listened to my reflections of Auschwitz and single-handly restored my faith in the German people. Truly life changing experiences.
