  • I’d like to quote my awsome history teacher here: “People went to the camp on a sunday stroll, looking at the victims as if it were a zoo”

    Another great example: A Wehrmacht troop is tasked with pillaging a village. The officers clearly state that this will include killing women and children. They explain that every soldier has the right to refuse to take part in this and will not face any consequences. Out of a hundred less then ten men refuse.

    Also, the people from concentration camps were used as forced laborours. They were led through towns like callte in the morning when their shift started, and led back the same route after their shift ended.

    People knew what the regime was doing. To varying degrees, surely, but with all the xenophobic propaganda, the burning of books, “entartete Kunst”, the deportation of millions of people I find it hard to believe that people were that clueless. Because after all, the NSDAP didn’t try to hide it. They wrote it on their banners all proud.




  • I really hope you can open up to someone about your home life. Someone you can trust. I don’t know what faith you have, but maybe the pastor, preacher etc. could be a person of trust? I know that in my home country they are obligated to keep your confessions private under any circumstances. Or maybe there’s an institution for victims of domestic violence nearby? I know this may sound frightning at first or you might feel ashamed for one reason or another. But I hope you can take this step to get some outside help for your situation. You deserve to be safe. You deserve to be happy.
