yep. Covid Karens now are the modern equivalents of people who saw it as "their duty" to report people who were harboring Jews to hide them from Concentration Camps. They were told back then that "Germany would be better once the Jews were gone, and the world would be better under Hitler's dictatorship", just like now Karens believe that "we will all get over Covid and have our lives back as soon as [they] say it's ok, but [they] won't until everyone complies with what they're told to do and no one thinks differently
Anne Frank's diary was written by Meyer Levin and her father in ball point pen in the 1950's. Levin sued her father and won a cash settlement for his share of the holocaust dollars made from the plagarized work. The Anne Frank story is a lie.
Europa Part 8. The whole documentary is eye opening but Part 8 raises the question of the diary...I think. The documentary is loooooong and I could be remembering that wrong.
I'm willing to listen to a different take on this.
If you wonder who will actually carry out the communist murders under this regime, look no further. Anyone that was asking you to put on your mask, or to fully cover your nose, is in position to be hired by the communists to end your life without feeling. I was thinking about this as I was asked to wait outside at a Hertz office because I refused to put on a mask. I surmise that these young men at Hertz would be all too happy to "follow orders" and dig mass graves and fill them with the bodies of their previous countrymen without losing sleep over it.
they may think they could resist, or be better, but in reality they are Ordinary Men.
A book by that same title chronicles how a Berlin police battalion murdered 30,000 polish Jews that were unarmed during wwii. They were given the option to go home but only 12 of the 500 left. The rest marched the Jews into the woods a few dozen at a time and shot them in the back of the head.
How far are we from this? The look in their eyes should tell you, not far.
They were pressed into service by the German government (hitler) to empty the polish ghettos. It was part of the Final Solution. Description:
Christopher R. Browning’s shocking account of how a unit of average middle-aged Germans became the cold-blooded murderers of tens of thousands of Jews—now with a new afterword and additional photographs.
Ordinary Men is the true story of Reserve Police Battalion 101 of the German Order Police, which was responsible for mass shootings as well as round-ups of Jewish people for deportation to Nazi death camps in Poland in 1942. Browning argues that most of the men of RPB 101 were not fanatical Nazis but, rather, ordinary middle-aged, working-class men who committed these atrocities out of a mixture of motives, including the group dynamics of conformity, deference to authority, role adaptation, and the altering of moral norms to justify their actions. Very quickly three groups emerged within the battalion: a core of eager killers, a plurality who carried out their duties reliably but without initiative, and a small minority who evaded participation in the acts of killing without diminishing the murderous efficiency of the battalion whatsoever.
While this book discusses a specific Reserve Unit during WWII, the general argument Browning makes is that most people succumb to the pressures of a group setting and commit actions they would never do of their own volition.
Ordinary Men is a powerful, chilling, and important work with themes and arguments that continue to resonate today.
Imagine how they felt with the invasion and the demand was to oust Jews and they will be safe maybe even rewarded by the Nazis. Hell yeah they'd do it because they are doing it for something that has nearly zero chance of harming them. We hear stories about people giving safe harbor to Jews and standing up to the Nazis BECAUSE IT WAS SO RARE.

isn't this basically what that mandalorian actress said? altho' she used conservatives vs. non-mask wearers (pretty much the same thing, tho', innit?)
Yep. And the crowd went and proved her right in a heartbeat.
Would they have snitched on her with a ballpoint pen to write the note? =)
Just saw this, hats off. You beat me to it.

Why would a Berlin city police battalion be in charge of the Polish ghettos the next country over? Military police?
