| As you say, the entire Holocaust literally "boggles the mind". My mother is at present visiting me from London and she and I were discussing it only yesterday. We said we could understand how so many German Jews refused to leave Germany even after Hitler had set in motion his bloody progress of murder...it was precisely because Germany was so civilized and cultured-think of the German composers of famous music, just one example-these poor people must have thought that Hitler`s power could not possibly last, that Germans would remove him...thus so many must have waited until it was literally too late to leave Germany. Another picture I once saw-a pile of shoes from a death-camp, thousands of pairs of shoes...it is seeing these sights that bring it home to us yet make it almost impossible to grasp. |
