"Scientific murder! " screamed the Frenchman ( 73 years old ). " Give a man 800 calories a day for long enough, and he'll die. Nothing is more certain.

Thank god the Americans came when they did. Another few hours, and they ( the NAZIS ) had plans to machine gun us all and blow up the camp. "

"The world is a dangerous place. Not because of the people who are evil; but because of the people who don't do anything about it." - Albert Einstein

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves. - Someone.

I've been reading of late info sources concerning the Japanese occupation of China in the 1930's, before America got involved in the war. From Shanghai to Nanking, and all through the countryside, the Japanese occupation army carried out actions that might have made even a good hard-core Nazi cringe in horror. Those years of atrocity have for the most part been forgotten by mankind.

Save for the rape of Nanking, I'd say most in the West never heard of those atrocities.

As for the old bbc broadcast, and the slaughter house beneath the crematorium, that's the 1st I'd heard of that. " hooks on the wall " ? I can't imagine ( and really don't want to ) what went on in there, but the description reminds of a disturbingly dark video game I once played, called Shadow Man.

Makes me wonder if that's where they got some of their ideas.

Good point, I'll look into that further, in the meantime;
