The gas chambers of Birkenau [Auschwitz extermination camp] were blown up by the SS in November 1944 in an attempt to hide their crimes from the advancing Soviet troops. On January 17, 1945 Nazi personnel started to evacuate the facility; most of the prisoners were forced on a death march West. Those too weak or sick to walk were left behind; about 7,500 prisoners were liberated by the 322nd Infantry unit of the Red Army on January 27 1945.
Eichmann´s extradition violated the basic rights of the State of Argentina....
Nazi Rudolf Hoess said that between 2.5 and 3 million had been killed, while Adolf Eichmann gave a figure of 2 million
...
"During the first interrogation they beat me to obtain evidence. I do not know what was in the transcript, or what I said, even though I signed it, because they gave me liquor and beat me with a whip. It was too much even for me to bear. The whip was my own. By chance it had found its way into my wife's luggage. My horse had hardly ever been touched by it, much less the prisoners. Somehow one of the interrogators probably thought that I had used it to constantly whip the prisoners."(11)
"The prisoner was torn from the top bunk, the pyjamas ripped from his body. He was then dragged naked to one of the slaughter tables, where it seemed to [Bernard] Clarke he blows and screams were endless. Eventually, the Medical Officer urged the Captain: 'Call them off, unless you want to take back a corpse.'"(12)
I suppose Hoess was fortunate in one respect, many Germans lost the use of their testicles after their walk in the park."They brought him to us when he refused to cooperate over questioning about his activites during the war. He came in the winter of 1945/6 and was put in a small jail cell in the barracks," recalls Mr. Jones. Two other soldiers were detailed with Mr. Jones to join Hoess in his cell to help break him down for interrogation."
"We sat in the cell with him, night and day, armed with axe handles. Our job was to prod him every time he fell asleep to help break down his resistance," said Mr. Jones.
When Hoess was taken out for exercise, he was made to wear only jeans and a thin cotton shirt in the bitter cold. After three days and nights without sleep, Hoess finally broke down and made a full confession to the authorities.
Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:
Have we seen the American Indians get the same type of leverage here that the Jews get out of the Holocaust?
Nope.
Why is that? Is it because Americans did the dirty deed, and don't really want to look at their own soiled past? Is it because we like to demonize others, i.e. the Nazis (or now the Muslims--or the only good Indian is a dead Indian, etc.)

Quote from version77:
American Indians are doing just fine on their reservations with
casinos pulling down millions of dollars. I don't remember the US building
gas chambers to kill them. Or anything like the Nazi's did to the Jews.
And there wasn't near the amount of Native Indians in America
compared to how many Jews disappeared in Europe. Maybe a
few thousand or so according to the history revisionists...
Your argument comparing the American Indians to the Jews is moot...![]()
Quote from Sirtatocar:
American Indians are basically gone, except for a few thousand in reservations. Comparing their fate to the generously-cut Hollywood fancy is an insult towards the former.
General George S. Patton was right when he realized the following, though he was nothing but a coward.
"The Nazi thing [WW2] is just like a Democrat-Republican fight." - George Patton

Hey, thanks man, appreciate it. As a matter of fact I never considered myself to be a democrat. I am indeed progressive on economic policies, I am against free trade and pro-Universal Healthcare, I am against the war in Iraq, I do hate this incompetent administration and previous corrupt republican do-nothing congress. But I am also strongly against illegal immigration and much closer to traditional republican views on defense and foreign policy. I am pro-choice but I am also pro-guns. So basically I consider myself an independent and vote based on candidates and what I see as the most important issueQuote from roberk:
dddooo
with your obvious intelligence and common sense it is hard to believe you still think of yourself as a democrat. Time to join the conservatives?
How true.Quote from cmaxb:
Sirtatocar, so smart. Yet all that reasoning used for hate.
I don't know. Why did they try to mate women with dogs? Why did they take two children, healthy siblings, and disembowel one of them alive while forcing the other to watch? Why did they do experiments to see how large an object could be inserted into the vagina of a Jewess before she bled to death? Are you suggesting that there was any 'reason' behind any of that?Quote from Sirtatocar:
If the Nazis wanted to kill the Jews, why didn't they just kill them at Auschwitz?
