Did anybody catch that Frontline tonight on the Holocaust?

[dirty clown]

It was the most graphic thing I've ever seen. I had a bowl of cereal and I couldn't finish it.

It was composed of a bunch of videos taken from American and Russian troops as they made their way through the camps in Germany. So many dead bodies...one I remember in particular, mainly because it was a close-up of this guy's face- he'd grabbed onto an electrified wire and it had fried him. His eyes were all rolled up and his tongue was sticking out. :shudder:
At another, the Nazis had crammed over 1000 people into a barn and set it on fire. There was this one corpse the camera got close on who'd gotten stuck under the door trying to crawl out. They'd shot him in the head while the rest of him burned on the other side.
And then at the end it showed a shitload of emaciated bodies being dragged and carried across the white sands of the beach towards a huge mass grave. Then a bulldozer came and buried them all.

As Kurtz would say, "The horror..."

i missed it. is it on again

[Keith Moon]

- ...I'm disappointed I missed that.

[Pudie]

thats fucking disgusting. We all understand the horror of what happend , why show such graphic footage?

[Antoni30]

I would imagine, so we'll never forget how truly horrific it really was. History class and time have a way of making things seem less than they were.

[jazz]

i saw it.

i had taken two nyquils and suffice to say, i didn't go to sleep immediately. :what:

[Hailo]

Missed it....

[dirty clown]

I don't know. I doubt it.

What was really gross was that I was numb to seeing everything by like, the fifth camp they showed. It was just like, oh, more bodies.

And history class will never equal that. Actually seeing the shit happen always towers over having it described to you again and again.

[dirty clown]

You know what was really cool about back then?

America could look at itself and say, without a doubt, that it was the good guy. And most everyone agreed. Now look.

[EtchedInCold]

we still are the good guys, no matter what the rest of the world says.
When we're right, we're right.
When we're wrong, we're right.

that's just how it is.
at least we're not an overgrown penal colony.

[dirty clown]

True.

[EtchedInCold]

not that there's anything wrong with that :insecure:

I'll bet you voted for Dubya too, didn't ya? :think:

[EtchedInCold]

yes, but in my defense he's from Texas, you're from Texas, so I was hoping he'd be as awesome as you.

[Jonesy]

I didn't see it but Band of Brothers and Schindler's List had some Holocaust scenes that really did a good job of showing how awful it was. Sometimes thinking about the Holocaust just kinda gets to me. :sad: :rip:

[Pudie]

The only thing more sickening the the people dieing in the olocaust , is the fact that there was millions of Hitler followers who thought it was right.

I think we've all heard of that experiment they did at some high school somewhere where they had a Nazi-esque program in disguise and conned a whole bunch of people into joining.

Most of it was manipulation and lies, from what I've gathered. It's kind of hard to believe that that many people can be that heartless.

One of my favorite quotes is: "In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart." -Anne Frank

And history class will never equal that.

Or the fact they never shared the truth that Hitler was part Jewish himself. At least when I was in school.

And he went through art school with the nickname "Shitler." That was damaging, too.

[dirty clown]

Plus he only had one testicle.

wasn't he like a quarter jewish?

he's one hell of a self-hating jew. damn. :eek2:

[Bruce]

Something like that. He really fit into that whole, blonde-haired, blued-eyed, master race pitch.

Those were just the kind of people he wanted to fuck.
Come to think of it, a lot of folks want to fuck blonde, blue-eyed people.

Blondes are on their way out the evolutionary door, by the way. I've heard that they'll be gone within a few centuries or something like that.

i definitely don't agree with what the nazis did and i hope they're all burning in hell somewhere for what they did, but i have to admit that the whole WWII story is interesting.

i once visited this jewish holocaust open-air museum in miami beach and took a few shots. maybe i'll post them here one day.

I'd like to see that. It was interesting.

The National Holocaust Museum in Washington is the saddest fucking place ever. I remember my family only did one exhibit because we were so depressed. I'm not sure if it's still there, but it was the "Daniel's Story." It shows how a Jewish kid living, in like, Poland or something and it shows you him from the beginning of the war, to the ghettos, to the camps. Like literally, letting you walk through the rooms in the camps and everything.

[jazz]

i guess i'm more interested in understanding how a human can justify in his/her own mind torturing and killing people (and not only the nazis). it just seems unreal to me as i could never imagine myself doing something like that.

[EtchedInCold]

if fucked over bad enough, i could torture and kill...

and now you're all afraid of me.

[jazz]

i would definitely kill in self-defense if i ever had to. i don't own a glock for the looks. :shrug:

Same here. I can't make up my mind if I'm disgusted by it or totally fascinated. Both, I suppose.

[bdf]

Oh come on man.......I'm WAY cooler than Dubya. And he's not originally from Texas, so thurr.
