The monsters responsible for this are burning in hell for eternity.

One of the biggest challenge for us today, when we study this history, is to understand that the perpetrators were not monsters. They were regular people - sometimes very educated - who accepted the ideology of hatred and were able to do monstrous things on its behalf.

A challenge that was addressed by Hanna Arendt in "Eichmann un Jerusalem, a report on the banality of evil "
-
Arendt was talking about perpetrators as “thoughtless” bureaucrats who acted not our of ideological conviction but some personal ambition. And yet we know today that it was not such "banality" but far more dangerous inner identification with evil.

Exactly! Opinions of her merit vary, but I think that we must give her some credit for putting this matter in the spotlight. Still, she stumbled over the question if one can do evil without being evil.

We should also remember Saint Maximilian Kolbe who gave the greatest gift by offering his life in place of a dad who the Nazis picked for extermination. The Nazis asked Maximilian "why should we pick you over this one" to which he responded "I'm a (underground) Catholic Priest"

Please forgive my ignorance but I had to Google St. Kolbe, as I wasn't familiar with him...again I will say We MUST NOT FORGET!

There are people toying with nazism now that need to be regarded as working toward something as insidious as this. Good people on both sides? Not a chance.

By that time Catholic Poles were still the absolute majority of prisoners in Auschwitz. Please correct me in case that this wasn’t the case. Thank you

I had a friend who was a prisoner when she was a child. She was Polish and Catholic. I’ll never forget her showing me her numbers tattooed on her arm.
