"We just slaughtered hundreds of men, women and children!"
"Were they Jewish?"
"No"
"Going to have to submit you for disciplinary action then"
This sort of thing happened hundreds, perhaps thousands of times on the Eastern front. Slavs and Poles were just as much a target as Jews.

I remember hearing that the Rape of Nanking, perpetrated by Imperial Japanese forces, was so brutal that even the Nazi attaché was shocked and appalled. It is sickening what human beings can do to each other.
The Nazis were post-mediaeval industrial, not mediaeval. He was shocked by the lack of order.
Many of those Japanese that participated in Nanking still felt no remorse decades later when interviewed. Just shows the power of brainwashing from a young age.
Why would you consider them human? Then again I can't compare them to animals because animals don't torture,just kill
They have a statue in Nanking of that Nazi diplomate who used his status saved people from being raped and butchered.
What about the unit 731? They tested on civilians and pow, weapons, put them in centrifuges till they ripped, in pressure chambers till they exploded, in freezing water to test how to treat it, bayonet training, sewing bodyparts from other people to others without any form of painkillers, cutting babys out of the mother without any painkillers and much much worse. They all got away in exchange for the data. None of them spend a day in prison. Same as the usa accepted all nazi scientist in project paperclip to build nasa
I imagine the hello fresh CEO sitting there with his mouth open in shock and horror....
Wow, the fact that they could allow those murderers to go free is shocking and a crime in itself.

Im from Germany and we went to oradur sur glane for a school trip and to speak with a survivor of that town, its incredible that he was able to impart wisdom and knowledge to the descendants of those who massacred all the people he had known, it felt surreal to learn what had happened and today still im at a loss for words
I had a similar experience with a Hollocaust survivor that generation was incredible
@@jamestaylor841 we also met with a white rose survivor, a friend of Sophie scholl, I dont think it's certain generations that r incredible but rather the circumstances they're forced into that dictated the way they had to live

@@vincentrusso4332 this man is merely a paid actor to read this script, he works for many different channels. Other people produce everything and he performs it.
When I watch documentaries about these things on TV there are multiple commercial breaks, too. I don't see any difference.
@@ZebraJess92 The difference is that he's very blatant about it here. Imagine if a narrator for a holocaust documentary suddenly went off on a tangent at the start and went something like, "....but first who doesn't love krispy kreme?"It's very insensitive. At the very least he could've saved the promo for the end of the clip.
The horrifying part to me is that this wasn't even too unusual, the Nazis were shocked by it mostly because it was one of very few not to happen in the East. I often remember the infamous figure "628 Byelorussian villages were burned to the ground, with all their inhabitants." Anyone who hasn't already, the film Come and See depicts this cruel reality better than any other film ever made, and it's an extremely important watch for anyone who wants a glimpse of the generational trauma that the Soviet Union had towards the war
That’s a good point, had this been a Russian town no one would’ve batted an eye at the brutality
In Yugoslavian city of Kragujevac, 21.10.1941 the germans shot almost 3000 civilians (including ~150 high school boys) as a reprisal for 10 kiled and 26 wounded german soldiers. There was a ratio for reprisals applied in the eastern europe. Yeah, it happened all over the east, but not many germans care about that, especially early on when they are winning. In 1944 after the alied landings, it's all about court marchaling the ss... damn I hate the nazis
Yep, the asshole from the SS Das Reich did spend a lot of time slaughtering eastern villages.
For them the slaughter at Oradour sur Glane was business as usual, they were also the one behind the mass murder at the town of Tulle, 99 men hanged.
Everyone forget about the eastern victims....
I am sad to say, that as a french I recognised Oradour right away

The main takeaway from this video is that *Nazi warcrimes are sponsored by Hello Fresh*
These war crimes were standard on the Eastern front and somewhat tame compared to what the Japanese did to the Chinese and Koreans. When you think there is a limit to the darkest corners of humanity, it eventually has ways of reminding you of your own lack of imagination.
It's not a game of Top Trumps
@@emmaisalone You're not wrong. What they did to that one man who died slowly of radiation is reason enough alone to pass judgement on their people.
@@WobblesandBean Well, the Japanese do have a reputation for being....quite over the top. Something that they are still known for to this day.
It's not like the Soviets didn't do the same kinds of things to their own people. Stalin was just as, if not more, ruthless and homicidal than the Nazis.
Both communism and fascism are horrific ideologies.
Just like Guantanamo these days.
I remember watching a documentary about a village in greece the SS burned to the ground because it was sheltering rebels, it was narrated by a woman who was one of the few survivors, she and her mother fled early to nearby woods at the behest of her father, the germans corralled the men in a warehouse sealed it and burned them alive, the next day when that woman 4 years old at the time returned with her mother to look for survivor's, when they found the warehouse she noticed a brick was loosed on one of the walls and an arm was sticking out, by some sick twist of fate she realized that it was her fathers and when she tried to hold it, it fell off because the rest of his body was ash.
I have never felt more disturbed in my life.
Jesus...thats...horrifying..
Fuck…
Do a little more research on those villages. It all usually starts with the village being encircled and a patrol being sent in to speak with the residents, the patrol almost never comes back and is usually found brutalized. With no entry or exit, you’ve found a source of war criminals (Non-uniformed Combatants).
This was EXTREMELY common on the eastern front, and women were usually the worst of the worst when it came to war criminals.
@@poltpickle2530 good... SS members deserved it.
@@poltpickle2530 Why are you saying it like you feel sorry for the Nazi's? They were pure evil.
The tv series “Mysteries of the Abandoned” had an episode that included an examination of the ruins of this village. The story behind the ruins is some seriously chilling and enraging stuff. The people involved in that slaughter share a special place in the darkest pit of hell, you can guarantee that.
The reason you mentioned- misidentification of the village site- is exactly the reason for that place being targeted. An interrogation of one of the involved officers revealed that later.
As I understand the story, the SS were looking for resistance members who had been attacking the column as they moved north to head off the Normandy invasion and had done a fair amount of damage to them. It was thought that some of the assailants had fled to that village and they were out for revenge.
@@bwhog that is correct, yes. When the officer in charge of the search realized he had the wrong place he ordered it’s destruction and the killing if the people anyway. Even Hitler himself was upset about it.
@@bwhogAs the story is taught in France.
The SS didn't bother looking for any maquisards or weapons cache, they slaughtered everyone because that what they usualy did on the eastern front, where they spend almost all the war.
They were seen leaving Oradour the next morning singing and playing the accordeon, after looting the town.
They had a lot of fun, that's what they cared about, they didn't care much about fighting La résistance.

@@kittylover62 gosh I never asked my mum when she was alive. I think they just burned the barns not the entire village.

Thanks for keeping your topics so entertaining and informative ❤
Here's the thing: the SS had been doing that sort of thing on the Eastern Front for years up to that point, 627 villages were burned and razed like this in Belarus.
Exactly, thank you. For those of you reading this I recommend the movie Come and See for a visceral portrayal of these atrocities.
@@Leandro-bj6jh great film. the nazis weren't shocked by these actions when they were done to 'less valued' people in their mind; slavs, jews, etc.

your comment really got me🤣🤣🤣
A similar massacre was perpetuated in December 1943 in the town of Kalavryta in Greece, this time by the 117th Jäger Division of the Wehrmacht. The Germans machine-gunned the men and the boys, rounded up women and children into a primary school and then set it ablaze, and then looted and burned the town. However, the women and children managed to escape the burning school, reportedly as a result of an Austrian soldier leaving a door of the school unlocked, since he couldn't bear to kill women and children. In total 693 civilians were massacred. The similarities with the massacre at Oradour-sur-Glane is stunning!
Ughhh, whenever I hear about a woman holding out her infant child, begging for her to be saved, it brings a tear to my eye
Pretty sad when you do something so messed up, even the Nazi’s are like, “whoa, chill man.”
Their only crime was that they made the mistake of doing it in Western Europe. The SS committed many such massacres in Eastern Europe during the war. The outrage of Rommel and the Nazi high command was fake and also influenced by the knowledge that the war was lost.
Why didn't the nazis say "whoa, chill man about all the lives they messed up?
Yep.
The Katyn massacre was like that. Russians in German uniforms killing thousands and thousands of people. It wasn't found out about for decades either.

Been a while since this came out, but it just popped up in my feed today. Excellent content. The speaking cadence is a bit fast as I had to keep skipping back to replay for clarity.

My in-laws happen to live not too far away from this village and we went there last time i visited France. The silence that was around the place was daunting, and the church where the set it ablaze has a melted church bell imbedded in the ground from how hot it was. Horrendous stuff; their Dad lived around 20 miles away, could supposedly see a large smoke cloud in the distance where the village was. True evil intent.
Really brings into perspective the levels of depravity that humanity can achieve. How many humans walking around today would commit these types of crimes given the opportunity?

America: 500 civilian casualties? Weak. Look at these new bombs
@@collinbeal the Japanese were forewarned,they didn't believe,
The blame falls on their own government and fanatism.
@@keineahnung6124 the Japanese attempted several times to surrender to the US on the condition that the emperor wouldn't be hurt, but the US used the opportunity to test the weapons to force an immediate and unconditional surrender before the Soviet Union could invade Japan. Civilians died so the US could effectively kick off the cold war. Of course, there's always more to the story, including bureaucratic nonsense in the Japanese military brass, but that's essentially what it boils down to. Eisenhower insisted that the nuclear bombs not be used on civilians, but when he died, the new president caved to generals. The reason they dropped two nuclear bombs is because one had a uranium warhead, and the other one had plutonium. They wanted to see which one killed more. That's not even to mention the fire-bombing of Tokyo, which saw massive civilian casualties and the razing of an entire city. The US is just as culpable for atrocities as the Germans, the Japanese, the RAF pilots who bombed German civilians, the Red Army who made massive land grabs, etc. There were no good guys or bad guys. War isn't cut-and-dry like that. Fascism definitely needed to fall, but American imperialism and exceptionalism is almost as bad. Winston Churchill greatly contributed to the use of chemical weapons in India before WWII. The war wouldn't be the last time the US attacked a nation on the brink of stabilization or surrender. The CIA campaign to overthrow Central and South American elections was as brutal as it was all-encompassing. North and South Vietnam were on the cusp of signing a peace treaty before the US attacked and dropped more bombs in the neighboring neutral country of Laos than all bombs dropped by everybody during WWII. Don't defend an evil, imperialistic nation. You have nothing to gain from doing as much.
@@collinbeal No, the U.S had to bomb Japan to prevent the war that lasting many more years with huge collateral damage from an indoctrinated nation that would never give up. Only the power of the atom was able to bring the Japanese to heel. The U.S casualties would have been awful. This reliable report estimates battle casualties alone surpassing 1 million (for the U.S). On the other hand, U.D bombing raids on Japan caused 387,000 deaths. Sounds like a good deal to me. For more info research Operation Downfall.

@@collinbeal Eisenhower was not the president who died before the use of the nuclear bombs: that was FDR, Eisenhower was the Allied Commander in Europe.

The SS: “I can excuse genocide, but I draw the line against killing innocent French villagers”
The World: “you can excuse genocide?”
It’s like the Abed of antisemitism! Oh god it’s like the Abed of antisemitism...
I mean, it's the SS. Of course they can excuse genocide. It's just not an excuse that will be taken as eligible, but it is an excuse
If you can't excuse genocide you've never played starcraft against koreans.
At least they have commitment
The world didn’t actually care about the genocide. It was Hitlers attack against the world bank that pissed them off.
If he left the world bank alone the world would have let them continue to this day.
That’s the part of these stories that pisses me off.
Everyone acts like the allies were “saviors” they did this for themselves.
I visited this village when I was younger. It was harrowing. There's something haunting about walking through a ghost village, seeing the old bakery or the old train tracks and knowing what happened there. It nearly feels like theres evil in the air. It was 40 degrees celsius that day but I was shivering.
Same here. It was eerie and sad at the same time
My mother also when young, visited the village and felt the same thing and knew someone who escaped and lived in Britain.
In Dresden the people where liquified, literally molten, boiled to human soup in the cellars....and not "just" 25.000. Mentioning 25.000 should IMHO normally be punished with at least 150 years imprisonment.

Hitler c.s.....and so on and so forth.....
The story of Oradour sur-Glane formed the opening scene of The World At War. It's one of "Those" moments that will always stay with me.
I first visited Lidice with a former member of the Czechoslovak Squadron of the Royal Air Force. We also visited nearby Terezin (Theresienstadt), where his mother had been beaten to death--oddly enough not for the fact that she was Jewish, but because she was actively involved in the Czechoslovak Resistance. Hearing about these atrocities from a man who was there at the start of the war and then returned as soon as it ended--only to be thrown into jail by the commies as an enemy of the state--was a fascinating and profoundly saddening experience. I recommend visiting these places as often as you can. Never forget.
I'm french and I visited Oradour sur Glane with one of my aunt some years ago. I felt opressed by the deathly atmosphere and horrible silence surrounding this small village. The worst part was entering the remains of the church.I will never forget it but I will not visit there again.
while on a vacation in france, me, my parents and my two lil sisters, (we're german) visited oradour-sur-glane, its memorial center and walked its streets. That is one of the most dreadful experiences I've had in my life and it will stay with me til I die. the village has such a thick air of despair and awful silence. It's so so so sad and tragic and terrible. We all cried so much at the memorial with the victim's names on it.
This was almost 10 years ago now, but to this day, talking about this, hearing about it, watching this video, it all brings back that thick feeling of utter disgust and helplessness and despair that humans could be so cruel and cold and dark and terrifying... and it always makes me cry
You are one sick puppy! Has anyone ever told you that France (and Britain) declared war on Germany, and invaded first?
Perhaps you ignoramus would have rolled over???
I’ve visited Oradour-Sur-Glane too. You’re absolutely correct about the silence. I was left feeling heavy.
Yeah the fact there's no birds singing there it's eerie. You don't see a loving thing except the other tourists. It's surreal and I think the French leaving it as was is probably the best way to commemorate the murdered citizens.
Try researching the evils committed against Germany especially what the evil British did to Dresden. It's truly horrific and the British to this day haven't apologized.
I was pregnant many years ago with my first child . As I walked round I found it an Extremely emotional place and felt overwhelmed with emotion when I saw the pram. Everyone should visit and notice the silence and a heavy presence of ‘something’ . No I didn’t see or hear any birds either. Strange
This happened during civil war in Nigeria. It is called the Asaba massacre. You can look it up
Something like that has happened many times for people in Poland. They were killing whole villages. They didn't investigate. People on the East from their boarders were not worth.
Every time I watch videos like this I'm incredibly grateful for the decisions my family made before and during the war.
My grandfather was born and raised in Saxony, and like everyone else, he was forced into the Hitler Jugend (Hitler Youth) at a young age. There he was "tested" for his "aryan" traits and heritage. Due to him being a straight A student, and what the NSDAP considered to be of ideal German heritage he was deemed a prime candidate for the SS.
It was decided that he was to be conscripted into a Napola (Boarding school grooming kids/teens for becoming officers in the SS).
Luckily his parents despised Hitler, the NSDAP, and everything they represented and decided that they would do everything they could to keep him from being sent to the SS boarding school. They succeeded.
On Febuary 12th, 1945 his Hitler youth group was ordered to help the war effort in Dresden, and he was ordered to be at his local train station that morning. When he got there he noticed that he was the only one from his group that showed up. He saw his group leader he went to him and asked where everyone else was, and the disillusioned group leader told him: "Go home, boy. The war is lost and there isn't anything you can do that would change that." He followed orders and went back home.
A day later Dresden was bombed...
In a blink of an eye he could have been forced into the SS, and the atrocities they committed. He probably wouldn't have survived the war, but he did. He's still alive today and I couldn't be more grateful! No matter how I look at it, he had some divine intervention in his life.
Did you see Jo Jo Rabbit? While a comedy, it does have some realistic details like what being in the Hitler Youth was like and indoctrination of the young and near the end of the war throwing CHILDREN at the enemy without any chance of winning. "Help the war effort in Dresden" God only knows what they actually would have done with him and the other kids if they'd have gone. Maybe charging the enemy with a gun you just got handed 5 minutes ago. Saw a piece of real documentary footage with Hitler a few days before he killed himself shaking the hand of15 year olds who were getting medals for valor in defending Berlin when Berlin had NO HOPE of stopping the advancing Allies.

I visited the village , The French have kept it untouched, There is a museum .But Walking through the village is very moving. The whole experience is deeply sad.
I walked through this place, it was really scary! Knowing everything that happened in the streets.
I,moved to France from the UK and visited this village which is near to my home.

I visited Oradour-sur-Glane about 20 years ago. I didn’t know much about the history of the place but the feeling of quiet dread as I walked through the town was awful.
It's like basic Monday for Japanese troops.
Sadly enough, it's true
As a Japanese American I think it is very important to acknowledge the atrocities that Japan committed.
@@heasne1738 true and lots of weebs gets triggered whenever we put up that fact
and soviet troops
Some of the shit the Japanese did made this massacre look like a mercy killing by comparison.
That's not to downplay the horrific cruelty of the Nazis nor what they did to these (and so many other) innocent people, just to put the Japanese military at the time in the correct perspective.
I don't like relaying some of what they did, as it's so disturbing, just mentioning it lodges it in the forefront of the mind where I can't seem to get rid of it for days.
People can be unimaginably cruel and fucked up.

I’ve been avoiding this video, I accidentally stumbled across this village on a self-guided battlefield tour in 2016. It’s never been fixed up, it’s stands as a permanent memorial and reminder of what pure evil can do.

Years ago my friend and I were in a vegetable shop in St Tropez when I noticed the owner had a photo of the queen, which I commented on. The next thing the owner came over and asked if he could shake our hands we said yes. He then explained that during the war some British soldiers had saved his family from the Nazis, he explained anything we wanted from his shop would be free. Needles to say we paid for our vegetables. Thought it was a lovely gesture from him.
He sure saw you coming when the shop owner made that claim! Some people will believe anything!
@@BasementEngineer Please explain since the shop owner offered any goods would be free to the people . So how or what did the shop owner do to make your claim or are you just a troll ?
@@joejohnson4183 St Tropez was in Vichy France, ie. that part of France that was not occupied by Germany.
So how could the shop keeper claim, with a straight face, that during the war some Brits saved his family from Nazis?
@@BasementEngineer You do realize that the Germans had their personnel including troops and the Gestapo , the SD and the SS in Vichy , France . Just because it was in territory of Vichy , France does not mean the Germans let the French do as they wanted and the Germans did not trust the Vichy French either .

I was taken to
Ouradour sur Glane by French friends when I was about 14. The silence and atmosphere were almost physically tangible. As we walked down the ruined village street the very air seemed to get heavier. I can never forget how shocked I was to see a group of German tourists or holiday makers talking in normal voices while the rest of us were finding it difficult even to breathe with ease. Many years later I took my teenage children to the village without much description of my experience. They were equally badly affected and almost had difficulty walking down to the church. I quietly translated anything they asked for. Once again there were German tourists.
May I ask a question as a person from Germany? What exactly is your issue with German tourists visiting places where atrocious Nazi warcrimes happened? Don't you think that it is actually a really good thing that Germans deal with their past and acknowledge what their ancestors did? Should German tourists be excluded from visiting monuments that deal with WW2? Are you aware that the war has been over for almost 80 years and that hardly anyone who did something bad during the war is actually still alive?!
Okay, but please don't make it out like every German alive today has the same sentiments as the SS officers who destroyed that town, or that they must necessarily be indifferent to what happened.
I'm german and when I was like 8 or 9 (Mid 90s) me and my parents were on vacation in Lorraine or Alsace (can't remember). One day my mother and I took our bicycles and drove to a little village in search for a bakery or a supermarket or something.
We arrived in "Parrois" (that's like I remember it) and it was so small we couldn't find anything except for a little pub. We decided to go in and rest and maybe ask for a store. Went to the counter and, in decent French, ordered a coke and a coffee. The tables in the pub were full of elderly man talking, laughing, playing games. Everyone was having a good time. People smiled at us.
The owner brought us the drinks and my mother asked me, in German, to ask her, the owner, for the way to a bakery.
The INSTANT they heard my mother talk german everyone went silent. Some left. Some looked to the ground.
I asked the pub owner if there is a bakery in the village. "No". Maybe a small supermarket? "No, ca fait douze francs" She told us the drinks cost 12 Francs. I gave her 15 and said the rest is tip. She took it, no words, went to the register, used it, came back, put 3 Francs on the table, didn't say a word, like the rest of the pub, and left.
We finished our drinks totally bewildered and left.
On our way out of the village there was a like a little Monument or something. A marble stone with an engraving.
It said one day in the 40s,when all men were working on the fields outside of the village, the SS came into town (can't remember why) and when the men returned in the evening they found all the women, kids and elderly murdered in their homes.
That was the moment of my life when I realized history is not just in books and I felt "german" for the first time. An eight year old grandchild of Wehrmacht-soldiers.
SS: " We committed the worst atrocities in the war!"
Unit 731: "Hold my sake!"
It’s honestly a tie between the two.
Is it odd that I learned about the 731 through pokémon myth videos?
Lol.
So right. I just learned about that horror today. WTF
Shoulders involved in nanking massacre - are you both joking ha ha ha
My family is from a town not far from here and this is a story I heard a lot from my grandmother growing up. I'm glad that more people are finding out about it, it was atrocious.
Do you find it as atrocious as what the Nazis did to their victims?
@@thecoffeebreakclub8138 Talk is cheap. If you seriously accuse someone, verifiable evidence of the forensic and documentary type is necessary. Where is this evidence?
I've been to the village. Preserved more or less intact ( allowing for the fact that many houses were set on fire).
I've been in the church.
It is a deeply unsettling place.
I will never get the correlation between Nazis and Hello Fresh out of my head.
Wow. You know, it's good that these events are recorded and remembered because we tend to forget how cruel and barbaric humanity really is.
Are you hungry?
Doctors always forget and are not interested in history. A good example currently is Putin inhilating Ukrainians. Very sad.
Sorry I ment dictators
It is still mind boggling how any human being can be so evil and cruel towards another and have no empathy at all. Scary actually. We should never forget this and always be on guard for the signs of anyone else ever rising up like this again and take them out before they can get there. Unfortunately people like this exist around the world they just haven't quite gone this far yet.
Not one “Humanity being restored” video will ever restore my faith humanity. Sure, it’s nice of them, but I can never forget the horrors I know of. Never.
Spending all day researching war crimes and atrocities really gives me an appetite. That’s why I use Hello Fresh!

In Poland in 1941 in a town called Sosnowiec, the SS had a game in a orphanage called "POP the skull" of a child...
They killed children from the age of 2 to 5 jumping on there heads...
36 children were killed like this...
I visited Oradour-Sur-Glane about 5 years ago. Still a teenager, I couldn’t fully grasp the magnitude of the atrocities but I’ll never forget the sombre atmosphere. We were probably there around 2 hours and no one said a word. It was gut wrenching and profound.
Went here a few days ago, the fact that everything is still there realy hits
Gonna order myself some Hello Fresh right after I've watched the video.
Just a minor point: Those paratroopers that assassinated Heydrich were Czechs AND Slovak.
Those were not paratroopers, but 2 members from the resistance, armed with a stengun and a pare of handgranate's. When the moment was there, the stengun blocked. However, the other guy threw quikly a granate in the open car of Heydrich, who was severly wounded. Heydrich had an open wound in his back, wich became more and more inflamed. The German SS-doctors didn't had something like penicilline. After 3 days fighting for his life, Heydrich died.
He was replaced by Ernst Kaltenbrünner.
@@Kirovets7011 Well, they were members of Czechoslovakian army-in-exile, so they were soldiers and they jump from plane, so you can call them paratroopers.
I see your point though, they were not trained paratrooper units per se.
Beside their basic training they were trained as special unit for espionage, sabotage and such.
This was the first thing you saw in the series World at War with the haunting opening words "Down this road on a summer day in 1944 the Soldiers came

When you take a moment to realize that French and German peoples had lived side by side for centuries and were, in fact, inter related to a large extent, they murdered their own blood when they pulled that stunt. German, French, English, Dutch, Russian and more of those countries of Europe, had once been ruled by Cousins in royal families in all of those countries. They married their children into one those other royal families regularly. They would rather engage in what was clearly nearly incestuous relationships, rather than mix their blood with commoners. I know, I am the result of one such coupling performed by my 12th great grandfather King James II and VII of England, Scotland and Ireland. You want to talk about horrible executions... study my family history in such matters... it is enough to keep you awake at night thinking and wondering how mankind could ever be so cruel to one another. It is a shame, really, that after hundreds of years, we are no better as a human race now than we were so long ago.
We really need to examine our societies to determine exactly what it is that keeps us acting so savagely to each other, even today, in our so called "advanced and cultured society".

@@jessehenson8923 we're talking about good old adolf and the fact that the german people voted him and his genocidal friends into power...
@@travistea There's a super long explanation involving neuroscientists, anthropologists, and sociologists, but long story short, the human brain is hardwired to only have empathy for, and see only 150 other human beings as actual, living, breathing human beings. That's why if we hear about a school bus full of kids buying it in an accident, we think, "Wow. How sad! Hey, should I pick up milk on the way home from work?", but if our best friend's elderly father dies, we're devastated. The *real* humans, though, try to break that limitation so we can feel empathy for all. Anyone who doesn't is just a naked ape.
