  • Surviving the Holocaust: Aryan Papers and Bergen-Belsen

    "At morning appel the SS, continually losing count and their tempers, obviously did not see anything odd about counting prisoners who could not possibly escape. The head-count ritual was maintained in all camps -- labour, concentration and even extermination -- where the population was rapidly disappearing. Just another part of the German obsession with order!"

  • The Beginnings of the Holocaust

    "The trucks kept going back and forth between the soccer ground and Bukovinka killing field until the last load went to their deaths at 11pm, at which time the aktion ceased abruptly. The last 200 to 300 people still on the soccer field were simply left behind unharmed. Murder by the clock! 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.! How German!"
