Presenting: The Holocaust Camps

As always, this subject was a bit of a downer, and certainly a sobering reminder of just what humans are capable of doing to each other. Even 'civilized' humans. The fact that the Jews and others were considered sub-human I sure played a role in how badly they were treated, like rats to be exterminated, but that is itself showed there was something seriously wrong about society's views on the subject. Apparently Germany had got over the idea of pogroms before Russia and Poland did, but to trade that out for wholesale genocide is not an improvement in any way to me. And yet, though most agree that this sort of thing is terrible, we as a world people tend to try and ignore it when it happens around us, just so long as it doesn't directly effect us. Sad state of affairs, to be sure.
