On the contrary, the destruction of the Jewelry, affected negatively the German war effort, destroyed valuable industrial manpower, strained the transportation system, eliminated 25 percent of the medical professions and crippled the German research institutions, especially in the field of atomic physics. In addition, the racial discrimination laws excluded from military service about 300,000 Jews and those whom were even partially Jewish. World War II was decided not only within the battlefields. It was going on in the many rooms of scientific laboratories. The invention of radar, breaking of the secret codes, building of superior air crafts and tanks, decided the outcome of the war. Killing of Jewish scientists, Jewish doctors and other valuable manpower of this sort was the ABSOLUTE. The Final Solution was against the interest of the German people and the Nazi party, and there was only one explanation for this lunacy.
Only a sick, compulsive mind, living within his distorted world, conceived such a terror with other human beings. Hitler had such a mind. Despite outward appearance of strength, he was a sick, paranoid man, full of delusions. He believed that within his own world that he was the greatest German who ever lived since the dawn of time. For he was the greatest master builder, the greatest military leader, the greatest philosopher, for he thought he was a liberator of the human race. His paranoia, delusions, detachment from reality, brutality, lack of moral scruples were signs of a twisted one whom lead all caused by the disease of syphilis. It can be proved, that Hitler was infected with syphilis. In1908, and thirty years later, the dormant illness entered the third stage, causing inflammation of the brain. The fact that Hitler was in his youth infected with syphilis, is mentioned in the memoirs of many Nazi dignitaries. Hitler was by no mean a healthy man as he was treated for several diseases. Hitler ordered the killing, because he believed that the Jews were his powerful enemies, bent on destroying him. The best proof of Hitler's sickness is his behavior at the end of the war. When the Russians were only miles away, he lived his life within a bunker shuffling about. He lost completely the touch with reality. His outward appearance was pitiful. Hands that trembled, coupled in the end by several physical difficulties. It looked like that he suffered from Parkinson's disease. Which doesn't cause detachment from reality. The insanity of one man was superimposed on a whole nation. The Holocaust is not the only indication of Hitler's derangement. Nazi Germany was full of the bizarre. Germany had human breeding farms, where volunteer blond, blue eyed SS men produced children for the Fuhrer. By was of impregnated young girls. Hitler considered the creation of a new religion, where he would play the role of a redeemer of mankind, while he himself was of Jewish decent, and all future generation of Germans would pray to him. What a bent mind this man was. In Auschwitz there where the experiments on twins. Attempting to find ways of improving the breeding methods for the German women. An uneducated corporal, was commanding an army of 5 million people, slowly grinding it down, while the propaganda Minister, fled the country. God created man in his image and Hitler tried to create a new man in his own brutal image. His vision of a new world is outlined in the "Table Talks" a book based on Hitler's own monologues. It is a chilling picture of a world order based on slavery, brutality. There is no doubt that the Hitler was a charismatic leader, who was able to infect with his paranoia a whole generation the German people. The Holocaust was the first stage of the new world order and a few of Hitler's admirers in this country would be surprised to learn, that they would have been the next victims. It is tragic, that for the satisfaction of the whim of one man, a whole nation was crucified as well the entire world, conditioned by two thousand years of anti semitism, they looked the other way yes it was INDIFFERENCE. Not one thing, or would anyone take a courageous attempt to stop one of histories largest tragedies.
~ Since the Nuremberg Trials, it is estimated that close to 100 million people have died as a result of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. The trials were supposed to serve, as a lesson to those might believe that they could engage in these acts of horror with consequence. ~

our present danger lies not in believing that this could happen again but rather in believing that this could never happen again
ReplyDeleteMy great grandparent who were not Jewish, came to the US from Germany in the 1880s because they didn't like what was going on there then. I have a letter from one of my grandmother's cousins sent from Germany in 1947 saying they are refugees in their own country even then.
ReplyDeleteI am a optimist, we would be in denial if we thought it was not happening within the world right this second.
ReplyDeleteIn WW2, 70,000,000 thousand had died, I ponder right now how many are within a state that this is happening right now at this very
moment. We still do look the other way, and there are still leaders that are doing the very same thing.
Just look at the news and tell me that this is not the case. However I just thought I would write on this as yesterday was the
anniversary of the Nuremberg Trails.
I am not Jewish either Nancy that, but regardless that would be something to see. For the longest time many older Germans still
ReplyDeletedo feel bad with regards to what went on. I am not sure what the stats where but many didn't know what was happening.
Yet we have this ideal of life. We think we have it so bad off but really when it comes down to it, we have it rather fine. When you see
what took place then and what takes place in some of the third word countries.
I love your write as it's all within pros in the manner that shed a light within your own way.
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't mind Iamnada as I read this last night and it says so much.
http://iamnada.multiply.com/journal/item/249/unite
Yes, I realize how there are a lot of people in the world suffering still today. Though I have not seen it first-hand.
ReplyDeleteI'll go check out your link now. Thanks.
Thank you Nancy, and a great week ahead to you.
ReplyDeleteWhen we were stationed in Germany, I asked my German landlady "Why did you all follow him?" She said, "He saved us.We were starving, and he fed us. We had no jobs and he gave us jobs." She was talking about the terrible time after WWI (Warsaw Pact) when the reparations the Germans were required to pay for the damages to countries they had made war against were so heavy Germany was starving to death.Hitler stepped into to his role at this moment in history, when his nation needed a savior. While I still find it inexcusable, it is not hard to understand how some Germans felt about him and even to this day will defend his actions.
ReplyDeleteA nation brought to its knees under any circumstances, will grasp at any means to regain its power. Even an evil one.
Some people who don't read news think it is no longer happening ... it is still. On a different level on a different given situations.
ReplyDeleteI have grown to dis-liked him and his manner of achieving things. It's all in History books. And just the thought of it makes my bone quiver in disbelief. How can he do such horrible things to humans.
Dixie within my reading I understand that within Germany the people truly felt defeated and then when a charismatic one like Hitler started to speak within town halls so quickly the word spread as the people wished to have that savior. But not many really knew what his intentions were. And then I do believe for some time no one knew anything with regards to what was happening with the camps. So it was something that is past now. However history does have a way of repeating itself in many ways. From an ethical stand point, there are so many countries that are still under tyrants and genocide still does exist even within this modern world in which we do live within.
ReplyDeleteOne would think that there is clarity regardless of any nation - but there are several countries to this day that live under similar regimes. And they don't have the opportunities that we have within our own very lives and within our very own countries.
It is Maritess, for myself I count my blessings as look within the Congo, and other parts of Africa. Each hour of any given day there are children that die merely due to starvation. There are a host of places, and we often look the other way. If there is one thing that we are attentive too, it's within bringing our troops back.
ReplyDeleteThat is the one common denominator that I see within most people within these times over the last ten years. I don't thrive on this but as it was the anniversary the other day, I thought I would write on it as it was a time in which the entire world was focused on ending WW2. Fortunately justice came to be and thereafter there was peace. Yet peace is an ideal and it's something which is maintained.
Great essay Jack.
ReplyDeleteAs long as there are leaders willing to do anything in the name of nationalism, no nation, even those whose citizens think they are as "civilized" as can be are safe.
And hopefuly that peace will be reached for us all to lived in harmony ... but that still is a big questions. A struggle that all of us must make and sacrificed and that's where again my questions beguins. How.
ReplyDeleteDoug it's true. We all tend to have thoughts with regards to now and I saw on the television this day within history and then I thought I would write on it I think we reside within a rather decent places - so often we can learn by way of what we know has taken place within the past. As well there is something to be said in to what we do have rather that have not.
ReplyDeleteAttaining peace is a great sacrificed. I asked my mama and my grandmom[when she's still around] how hey coped up and lived in those trying moments. And you'll be surprised as to what kind of life they've lived in those trying times. And what they did just to be able to survived. It was a hell living in those times ...
ReplyDelete... am sorry to say that. But that was the reality.
There will always be division and discourse within societies yet I do believe that the notion that these have nots are more of what we have rather than what we don't. History need not repeat itself but it does. A day within history, and within the next five years one has to ponder on where we are headed.
ReplyDeleteI hope we are headed within the right direction but this too comes with perhaps looking into the past and understanding that we do have. And that we ponder on some of the needless things, rather than the important ones.
......of to bed here. Early to bed and early to rise makes for a ...............cold morning :)
ReplyDelete:)
ReplyDeleteand than a good Monday morning as it's nice and kind of cold - sipping on coffee.
ReplyDeleteat 6:30am - yes coffee is the meaning of life!
happy morning to you from here, yep a good brewed coffee is the meaning of life :)
ReplyDeleteHorrible times . I cannot even begin to imagine what it was like. I have read books and watched documentaries & also about Corrie Ten Boom who was in a Nazi Camp as well as her Father and Sister for hiding Jews. Her Dad was a Dutch watchmaker..She was actually to be put to death as well but some kind of mistake (for her a blessing) she was released and traveled around telling her stories of what it was like..and the miracle of forgiveness in her life. "And for all these people alike, the key to healing turned out to be the same. Each had a hurt he had to forgive."
ReplyDelete— Corrie ten Boom (The Hiding Place)
This is a very sad period in the worlds' history. The best we can do is learn from it and guard against it happening again. I knew the Holocaust was horrible, unimaginable, but it really sunk in after reading The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom. The part that I couldn't imagine was when she was freed from prison before the war was over, sent back home, and things went on around her like the atrocities weren't happening. Corrie's faith amidst all of this horror is beyond words. The facts are that there will never be total world-wide peace, but each of us can do our part in our corner of the world, and never let the world forget the shameful and hurtful parts of history, so that they cannot be repeated.
ReplyDeleteThey were Cheryl, I had a friend that was Polish his name was Peter Norris and for years he lived within Edmonton and ironically when I first met him within at a young age. I sat down with him as we where talking about doing some Christmas decorations within a few malls (he did that ironically) and it was the first time I had met him and he moved his sleeve up and it was the first time I had ever seen and they were numbers and he was the only survivor of his entire family.
ReplyDeleteHe has passed now - probably around ten years ago he passed on but I or he would call once a year around Christmas and just have a talk and he would go further into detail as for some reason he was a quiet man, but these were times which I myself could not conceive. One would think it was a time that does make us ponder. I don't know if within himself if he ever really did come to terms with it all. But the one thing for certain is he wasn't the best in making Christmas decor, yet so many liked him that they would hire him within a many small towns as well as within the industry of shopping centers.
Corrie ten Boom, and The Hiding Place, I will have to look that up.
I have read Anne Frank, and as well Victor whichamacalit, Faye it's wasnt a pretty time at all. I don't think it's repeating however therer are things that are happening within the world as mentioned that makes one ponder. Yet this commodity of world peace. I am not sure if we ever will have world peace, it's an ideal but I do believe within the acts that one does regardless of living within our own lives where there is a will within one, there is a manner that one can make a difference Faye. You are one example of that as are many. The act of kindness is something that is within the act of good will I liked what you placed within your own blog which was called, Our Compassionate Story:
ReplyDeletehttp://chickiebaby.multiply.com/journal/item/96/Our_Compassion_Story
Faye thanks for the allowance.
You're welcome. Sometimes we wonder if we're really making a difference, when there are so many hurting in the world. But then, all you have to do is see the light in a child's eyes when they are glad to see you, the little hand that wants to hold yours as you troop down the stairs to the midweek church class, the letter from the Compassion child that says they love you and pray for you daily, the 4H kid from a disfunctional family that likes to sit and chat for a while during practice. We make a difference in the little and simple things, in addition to the great things. One day at a time :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a great write you have there Faye, I wasnt sure when or where I would place it but it seemed to fit. So often I do really think about change. Change has so many meanings, but yet change is within the difference and impact that we make. I can't say that I have had a child of my own nor have I felt that touch in which you speek, but I don't think much on it. It's not that I don't like children, I find them incredible. So here I am reading this and from crazed man (Hitler) to a great man (Kennedy). It really makes one think. You wrote something which was significant. I guess it all fits within inspiration. Yeah.
ReplyDeleteWhat I wrote is not only about my children when they were young, but the young children that I see each Wednesday at church. It's about the older kids that I teach wildlife to in 4H. It's about the child at the park or the library, that sees my smile and hears my hello as we pass. In some respects, I think adults overlook children, but they benefit from a kind word and a caring look just like adults do. Even the teenagers. Teenagers intimidate me, mostly the kind that hang around in groups trying to look cool and tough. I still try to give them some notice, but it's harder. Put those kids in my wildlife "class", and it's easier and we find that we both are fun people in different ways, and after a season or two, we're friends. Anyway, it's a long road of learning I've been on, and I haven't reached the end yet.
ReplyDeleteFaye I don't think we ever stop learning. Some do overlook children I think it comes in many ways. We are getting older but if you ask me I think that teenagers are given too much. That is within a monetary manner. It's not the rich nor the poor. But there is something missing within the teenagers today. I think that in replacement of raising son or daughter so often it's a hand out and there is no responsibilities that are taught. Maybe I am getting older but this generation that claims to be the "lost generation" with pride - it really tells says something. Not all families are like this nor are all parents but for many I do think that this era of youth are handed things to just appease them. Gosh it sound like I am getting old but I had to work as a teenager, I worked part time while going to high school and then thereafter I had my chores that I had to have done. Yet teenagers today are given so much maybe in replacement of parenting. Just a thought.
ReplyDelete... smiles please. tight hugs :)
ReplyDeleteMy mom was born in Germany in 1937, her mom married an american soldier and they all(3 kids) came over in 1948,they arrived in Nevada and ended up in Minnesota. Grandma had many stories of the conditions, and famine before they left. That american soldier ended up passing away, and then she married his brother, her 3rd husband. That was Grandpa George Fink, the only one I knew. Mom has a twin brother in South Carolina named Gunther and a sister named Uda, and they have a half brother named Dietrich, mom has been gone 20 yrs now, took her own life at 52.
ReplyDeletePatty, I am sorry with regards with your mother. (hugs there to ya). This is a story althought it's short I bet there was many stories of the like of this.
