36 Answers
on bbc news ive just been watching about the archive of the dead from the nazi death camps.
even lists of how many lice found on inmates. and on april 20th 1942 they executed a prisoner every 2 minutes to celebrate hitlers birthday. its shocking.
i wonder what nick griffin of the bnp thinks of that? seeing as he says the holocaust never happened.
the archives have been stored for 60 years but are being digitised to upload to the internet.
can victims families ever really forgive the evils done by the nazis i wonder?

Please try to spell YOU as YOU and not YUO.
You live in an idyllic sunny environment but appear to prefer huddling in front of a pc screen getting drunk while your abuse of all and sundry escalates.
It's all yours.

Not too many years ago, during one of my journeys to South Africa, I visited the Robben Island penal colony, where Nelson Mandela was held captive for almost twenty years. I have visited South Africa many times, including during the Apartheid and it had always been a goal of mine to see firsthand where President Mandela wrote his journals. Of course, his cell is now empty and it stands as a symbol of hope for all those who continue to suffer unjustly.
I too experienced the absurdities of Apartheid when I arrived Johannesburg one morning aboard a KLM flight, only to be told my visa had been cancelled and I was to return to Amsterdam on the next flight. Apparently, as best I can determine, I had been spotted on my previous trip, associating with and visiting the homes and churches of a number of black South Africans.
They were absolutely correct. I had, and as I stated to the immigration police, I was �jolly proud of it.� Their only response to my defiant admission was to restrict me to 'airside' whilst I waited to board the same aircraft from which I had just disembarked. But their actions in the eighties only strengthened my resolve to return and join the global swell of voices protesting against this oppression of humanity.
On one occasion after Mandela's release and rise to prominence in South Africa, President Bill Clinton asked him how he felt about those prison warders who had brutalised his life or the politicians who ignored his case. Was there ever a time he asked when he had wanted revenge?

Part 2
Mandela replied �If I had held onto anger and bitterness during those dreadful days, I would have been twice in chains. Through my forgiveness they no longer had control of my spirit, even though my body was theirs.�
By such remarkable determination, Mandela not only saved his own life but also built a platform for the peace and reconciliation process, which is saving so many lives throughout Africa.
Recently, my son was violently assaulted by a gang of youths. The grotesqueness of the crime made all of the national papers and media. He has endured countless surgeries as a result of their destructive behaviour. When he was interviewed by the BBC, my son surprised me, as well as the news presenter, when he said he had forgiven all of them for what they had done. The presenter asked him how was it possible that he could do such a thing, especially after having suffered such an horrific and sustained attack, simply because of his height.

Without a beat, my son said that if he didn�t forgive him, he would become no better than they were and he had to forgive them in order to was away his rage.
Indeed, we must forgive. This does not mean forget. But that act of forgiveness will give us greater energy and strength to work collectively, ensuring that such seeds of hatred, bigotry and prejudice are eradicated. And, perhaps most importantly, our own hearts can return to savour the sweetness of life, rather than the bitterness.

Legend: Indeed. It is important for us not to forget. I must admit that my feathers get ruffled when I hear or read documents that allude only to the six million Jews who were slaughtered by the nazis. There were countless more and their memory should never be washed away.
I have two homes: One in the Republic of Moldova, the other in Transilvania Romania. My home in Transilvania is predominately for abandoned and battered street children. The greatest support I receive is not from the government or churches, but from the local synagogue. In the ageing community, it is now so small that they can no longer support a local Rabbi. Of the sixteen magnificent synagogues in the area, there is only one they use and structurally, it is in a deplorable state. Many years ago, Rabbi Koppleman took me to one of the few remaining Jewish cemeteries in Transilvania. During the war, the locals had successfully concealed it when Germany marched towards the Russian border. Standing there is a powerful testimony to all who suffered. Such is the nature of this region of Romania, there are still walls with degrading epithets left over from the very same mindset that got caught up in the frenzy of Krystalnacht.
Walking through those passages, standing in the cemetery, and even reading the lines on the faces of the elderly, are the most electrifying and emotive images you can imagine. I still remain dumbfounded when I read of those misguided individuals who deny the most repugnant era of mankind.

I should imagine that the Pope was indeed very young when he was in the Hitler Youth. I've seen documentaries on them, and it appears that the Hitler Youth was very much like our Boy Scouts, with only a bit of propaganda thrown in. Most of those young boys (the Pope included I would have imagined) would have been very much unaware what the Nazis and SS Troops were up to.
three were very few people unaware.
thye may have turned a blind eye.
but when all the jews in your town disappear , wouldnt you wonder where theyd gone?
ignorance , or supposed ignorance isnt an excuse.
and i think boy scouts is a bit tame too.
but history is there to be studied and debated i guess
