    In January 2007 a photo album marked "Auschwitz: 21 June 1944" was made public. It revealed astonishing clues as to how the Nazi extermination team enjoyed a life that they ruthlessly denied their victims.
    "They look almost like normal people. They are devils", says Auschwitz survivor, Regina Speigel. The photos were taken at the height of the holocaust and have helped researchers identify key Nazi killers. Dr Josef Mengele, aka the 'Angel of Death', is seen "smiling and laughing at this singalong during the most horrific period of murder in history. It's astonishing."

Just imagine everybody committing these atrocities and even promoting it, people seek validation from society and create a moral compass depending on their environment, you too would think these atrocities were the right thing to do.

    It’s not accidental that these were scenes involving shared experiences and strong bonding between these people. Most people have a strong need to be part of a group, so that they feel that they might die if rejected by the group. Such people can tacitly agree not to see what’s right in front of them, if it means they have a place in the group.
    I was bullied and ostracised for a full year during one particular year at primary school, with the full knowledge of the teacher. My life was never in danger, but it did effect the rest of my life. I was never again comfortable in a group, or really any relationship for that matter. My point is that such an experience gives you perspective, makes you an observer, makes you understand what people are capable of, how they lie to themselves and everyone around them, how they justify the unjustifiable with just a few weak words of rhetoric, and everyone nods and accepts it. And you do continue to see bad behaviour throughout your life, directed at you, because you’re not playing their game. No one who has had such an experience really harbours any illusions about, erm, humanity.
    So it not surprising at all to see them having fun together, indeed I can imagine that the fun reached a completely hysterical intensity on those occasions.

But just like most people in their respective militaries around the world, they believed they were eradicating the enemy. They believed they were doing good. The opinion of what is right or wrong often depends upon which side you happen to be on geo-politically and who is influencing your education. Our own US soldiers take happy images as well and many cultures of people view our military as evil killers. What will be said about our soldiers' morality 50 years after any war they fought?

    When you learn about this in history, when you see the horrible photos and atrocities committed by the Nazis, the people that did it take on an almost super villain kind of aura about them. History paints them as among THE MOST CRUEL and THE MOST EVIL people to have ever existed. So to see them laughing, playing, lounging and drinking, and enjoying themselves like ordinary people; truly shocked me. My mind lit up as like, Wow! They were REAL, these were ACTUAL PEOPLE that existed and had feelings of their own, the shocking realization for me is that there's a chance a good many of them just didn't give a damn. Surrounded by suffering, death, fear, terror, unrelenting torture, and they can just smile and take a break, go to a resort and have themselves a good time while women, children, men, and families went through all they went through.

      They leave their work at the office and don't take it home or try not to. This is normal human behavior. Even Himmler was aware of how the gruesome work was taken its toll on his men. Some people relish it, but they were not normal human behavior. To many others, it was kill or be killed. Self preservation is normal behavior. It is hard to judge people unless you went through the same experience. A lot of people was smart enough to see the handwriting on the war and left for self preservation, but they still had the problem of finding a place that would accept them.

Way back to even the medieval ages when they blame jews for posioning the water during the black death. There was a long history of us "catholics" verus them "jews" hatred for centuries. It play a key role in creating a holocaust. Also Germans where not the first to ever created a holocaust. They were the first to use advance for that time killing factories to mass produce death. A lot of their ideas came from all sorts of recouces that was already being done. For example the trains and the tatoos came from corpite farming of branding and slautering live stock. The idea of unfit people of society and getting rid of them came from Americians and thrir treatment of people with mental health issues. So did the death marches. Americians did this to native americians.

      I hate dehumanization in any form but i hate hypocrisy as much, so i think it's necessary to point out something to you - calling human beings monsters regardless of how unspeakable evil their actions were is also a form of dehumanization - so for your own mental health and for the sake of preserving your humanity i'd advice not to talk one thing but do the other, hypocrisy damages your mental health in the long run - you shouldn't be calling human being a monster in the same paragraph you criticize dehumanization.
      If you hate dehumanization, if you truly hate it and you see how fcked up that whole concept is - then you must realize that your comment right here is the part of the problem. If you're willing to go down that road - regardless of who you dehumanize, you're part of the problem.

      What you're saying is exactly what was the basis of their ideology - they thought they had right to decide who deserved to be called human and who didn't based on their values. U already sound like them at an alarming likeness - do u see that?
      No man on the face of the earth has the right to decide whether another human being deserves to be called human or not, you can only decide whether u deserve to be called human or not for yourself and even then u must be very careful not to open your mind to self-dehumanization since it can damage your psyche in variety of ways.
      It's not about what they deserve, it's about opening your mind and allowing it to dehumanize someone for any reason at all, if you have any ambition to call yourself a human and scoff at dehumanization, morally you're not allowed to dehumanize ANY human being - period. You just can't criticize the game whilst playing the game regardless of whether u're betting on reds, blacks or zero without being a hypocrite. So before deciding if anyone else deserves to be called human or not, you should find out - whether u deserve that or not. That openness towards dehumanization in their minds was exactly the basis which advanced into the atrocities they committed.

We never knew he was a nice man and helped me out tremendously after I was wounded in Afghanistan. I asked him about it after it came out and while I don’t defend his actions back then I have respect for his answer to me, he said he would accept whatever they decided to do because there is no excuse for being a part of something so horrible but he was a young man and said he thought he was doing the right thing u til he saw what was happening and he then told me he should have left or shot himself but he was to much of a coward to make a choice and said he should never be forgiven for it and that he didn’t deserve a long life. It really blew me away I almost expected an excuse but there was none, just an old man being more honest than I’ve ever heard anyone be.

    They’re not almost human; they ARE human. We’re all capable of treating each other brutally and cruelly, especially when we divide into “us” and “them”. They are happy because they felt they had purpose, they had a community, they had fun and had each other. Despite having a job involving committing such atrocities. Humans can be motivated by positive emotion as much as negative, if they felt they were making lives better for “us”, it would be easier to denigrate “them”. Not to defend their actions, it’s just not unfathomable that they would look “normal” to the outside world.

These people didn't just fly in one day when mass-murder and torture were suddenly deemed "normal" things to do to other people. They were always there. Here's the thing you must realize: people like this are STILL there, around you, right now. By the thousands. All it would take is another slow normalization of the demonizing of a particular cross-section of your fellow citizens, and many of the people around you, that you think you know well, would step up into their roles as monsters, to repeat history once more.

There is a reason people use the term "Jew" to refer to someone taking financial advantage of others. The Prussians were smart disciplined people that engineered Germany and didnt want Jews to a financial control of everything they built.

      @@xxXxXxGxXxXxx I looked and saw your other comments, and your anti-semitism is unimpressive. All these claims like “holocaust survivors are being sued”, and “look who controls the banks” is a sign of a lack of actual research and just relying on stuff you heard. Holocaust survivors are not being sued, and I’d willing to bet if you could provide me a real example of one being successfully sued it would be by groups who were effected by the holocaust and are suing people who try to pretend they were their too.
      As for banks, the reason why there’s over representation is really simple: They were forced. Many nations under the control of the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages realized they needed to engage in some form of banking to run a nation but the problem is that they viewed usery as a sin, so what did they do ? That made Jewish minorities do the banking for them. That’s just history. It’s not some shadowy cabal.
      Jewish people are like anyone else, I’ve met a few myself, and none of the ones I met were in some grand position. One of them is a manager at a “Panera Bread”, the other is just a student at my unimpressive university, and the other is our media coordinator for a student org I’m the treasurer of.
      The holocaust happened, plain and simple. The Soviets and the U.S. already had their own problems with antisemitism so it seems weird for them to fake the existence of these camps. How did Jewish people at the time possibly have any power to orchestrate this, and how is this some lie kept up today ?

      I think there is a difference between actively doing harm to people and ignoring some of the world’s suffering in order to live your life. The truth is that there is such an extreme amount of horror going on at any given time that is beyond my capacity or yours to prevent, even if we dedicate our lives to helping others. If we stop ourselves from enjoying a movie or a dinner with friends because someone is being murdered somewhere, no one will ever get any enjoyment out of life…
      After actively engaging in activism I realized that to prevent even one tragedy you need so much work and energy that you have to pick your battles, or else you will never get anything done and will just burn out quickly.
      Edit: I think people are fundamentally misunderstanding where I’m coming from. I’m not arguing for indifference or disengagement. I’m just saying that even if you dedicate 100% of your waking hours to social issues, you will still be faced with situations where you see people suffering and can’t do anything about it. At least that is what happened to me… so you need to learn how to tune out some problems and some suffering in order to save your energy, so that you can focus on the things that are within your sphere of action. And we need to take care of ourselves in order to be present for other people. We have basic physiological and affective needs too.
      I wonder if the people who are getting pissed have actually had lifestyles where they ever had to deal with things like empathy strain, have ever realized how much you need to study and work to help one single person improve their life, or how difficult it can be to form one small group that focuses on local action.
      If you think “doing something” is just making comments in the internet about how much you care, please log off and try engaging in some consistent and long term action before calling me a nazi or wishing me a gruesome death
      But if you are criticizing me because you have found out the secret for helping everyone in need in a way that matters without losing your mind along the way, feel free to share :D

    What makes this so powerful, profound and disturbing is that ultimately it goes way beyond the Holocaust in its horror: It reveals how humankind was and will always be capable of compartmentalising their evil to find light-hearted joy - even fun - when they feel they need it; these people didn't come up from the depths of hell nor were beamed down from some wicked part of the universe - they were as human as you and I, with mothers and fathers, and with all manner of hopes, aspirations and self doubts. And they created all these atrocities in the same spirit that we are ourselves are capable of possessing, whilst watching this video in our reflective solitude all these years later. These horrors did not die in 1945, they have been perpetuated to lesser degrees and resolve ever since. The only way we can ever hope to end, or at least to understand, this abject darkness that has unceasingly plagued mankind is to start with ourselves and work outwards.
