Many people are ignorant when it comes to World War II.
It was not just the Jewish people who were targeted. It was also the Slavs, Gypsies, Homosexuals, disabled, political prisoners and sometimes even Aryan Germans were imprisoned in the camps.
"When you go to Auschwitz, you feel empty inside. Dead, almost. You can't feel the presence of God in the camps..."-- Mike Swendeman
You can't just go off of the stereotypes. That is not fair to the memory of the dead, of the people who gave their lives. We forget about the people who stood up for themselves, for what Germany used to be. Straffenberg, The Hubener group, The Eidelwiess Pirates, The White Rose resistance group, and so many others. People who knew. We need to remember them.
Teach 'em, girl!
