Ofcourse the worst thing about the Russki sabre rattling

Even so....its too ****ingmuch.

THe tower as the train enters Auschwitz.....I see that tower everywhere- university buildings, even my local Tesco. Am I the only person that looks at it and immediately thinks of Auschwitz?

I went to Dachau once. I felt seriously short changed when they told me the gas chambers were never actually used.

Yes..... it isnt hugely clear how the numbers are arrived at and where all the killings took place. Some camps are famous for reasons other than the volume of deaths, ifyou see what I mean.

As much as I might be revolted by holocaust deniers, its the ones that dispute the numbers that leave me open mouthed. As though it really isnt such a big deal if it was only 4 million.......

[Monty92]

So you dispute whether 6 million Jews were killed.

How many would be your guess?

Not that I’m trying to get you into any trouble here, you understand...

Oh no, I dispute nothing. If you look at estimates for the four or five biggest camps it is a little surprising that they make up a relatively small proportion of the overall. Basically, there were ****ing millions of camps......

My point about disputing the numbers was that even if it was 4 million it hardly counts as mitigation. It is still, you know, quite bad and all that....

I found the flogging block a bit distressing. Also the tiny, sh1tty huts into which huge numbers were crammed. And then there was the bit about the medical experiments. Generally the whole thing.

All in all, I'd give it a negative Tripadvisor review.

Right, I will give that a miss....

It would simply be wrong of me to not act at this moment:

you can usually make yourself feel better by eating some or taking some home from the on-site farm shop.

Can’t do that with dead Jews

They could sell novelty lampshades, I suppose.
