The presentations on the two concentration camps gave a lot of information that I had not previously heard. I have previously heard and read a lot about Auschwitz, but I never realized it was that large. Learning that it was built up of three separate areas put into perspective how they killed so many individuals.
I had never heard of Bukenwald, but was surprised by some of the pictures shown. Some of the scenery pictures looked like they were of a summer camp, not a death camp. I guess it was all for the comfort of the officers. Does anyone know if "science experiements" were preformed at all of these camps?
The cartoons we watched today were interesting because I didn't realize they were used for training videos. Disney really was involved in a variety of the war effort. They are humorous cartoons, but also give a warning to soldiers about safety.

Patton demanded the German citizens walk through the camp after it had been liberated. Good for him.
I agree, I had no clue of Disney's role concerning WW2. But I think the cartoons offer an interesting take on what was occuring.
funny but also racist, i doubt many cared about how offending they were at the time
