....and it got me wondering if such a conflict or scenario in the same sort of scale would ever happen again.
The only scenario I could see would involve North Korea, its well known they have concentration camps but to what extent I don't know and now that they are testing nukes that makes the future for the closed off country not look so good.
Some pretty amazing reading, was all done on wikipedia, read up about that Vrbar guy, him and an old guy escaped from Auchwitz and wrote up a 32 page report for the allies about what was going on there. The guy in charge of the jews who was in talks with the NAzi's a fellow named "Kastner" i think wouldn't let their report out until after 400,000 more jews were taken from hungary to the concentration camp all thinking they were being relocated to the East.
Kastner (i think thats how its spellt) eventually moved to Israel and in the 50's even though he was head of the "Blood For Goods" or what ever it was called whereby this committee would give the Nazi's trucks, supplies and etc for Jewish lives, was sentenced as a Nazi collaborator, as it was discovered he knew EXACTLY what the Nazi's were doing but still wouldn't tell the jewish people that they were being sent of to be murdered. It's quite funny as he only managed to save something like 1,500 jews that were freed on a special train (the judge in the case saw this as just a gift from the nazi's to shut him up). So he saved 1,500 lives but let 400,000 lives go without letting them know what was gonna happen so they could atleast go down fighting. So yeah eventually this Kastner guy was asassinated by the Israel underground at the time.
In today's age you could never see something like WW2 and the concetration camps happening, to us it just seems like just a big fantasy sort of thing.
But to read up about it and get right into the real meat of it is quite amazing.
As soon as children arrived at Auchwitz they were taken aside and executed straight away either that or they were put aside for medical experiments!
