The Nazis have fun (the other a little’ less…)
It is on display at the Holocaust Museum in Washington a photo album containing 116 Photo of SS officers in Auschwitz concentration camp. It is impressive to see how those same Nazis responsible for the horrors of the camp were cheerful and happy in their moments of rest.
The photographs, taken between May and December 1944, depict guards and officers while celebrating Christmas or sing accompanied by an accordion.
Well fed, well-fed, young and strong, smiling at the goal as two schoolchildren on vacation.
In some pictures are surprised while crush even a postprandial NAP deeply at peace with yourself and with the world.
The images were stored for all these years by Karl Hoecker, an aide to the Commander of the extermination camp of Auschwitz, Camp liberated by Soviet troops on 27 January 1945.
«These pictures only show vividly how they had fun while kept under control a world of unimaginable suffering. Offer an important perspective on the psychology of those who perpetrated the genocide», said in a statement the Museum Director Sara Bloomfield.
The thing that, though, strikes the Viewer is comparing these photos and other snapshots taken in the same field, on the same dates, but with different subjects: the victims for the gas chambers. Terrified children, Desperate Moms, people reduced to a subhuman whose ugliness generated by suffering contrasts with the beauty and happiness of the torturers.
So it becomes easy to say that the bad, the faint, the unhappy, unnecessary are only a burden which should soon release. But those same individuals submitted, underfed, ill deck would not be such if it had allowed them to remain in their own homes, to live their little lives inoffensive.
L’ combination of these pictures seem to contain some lessons for today's world.
In modern society c ’ is so much contempt for the poor and outcast and a lot of esteem for those who manage to achieve money and power no matter how. At the same time there is the biggest lack the moral virtues. A philosophy subtly materialistic and deftly nihilist he infected step by step until we replace the ethical values with “values” cheap, so much so that l’ Economy is silently passed from branch of moral philosophy in exact science. Here's that has become impossible to choose between two options, an ethics and l’ other convenient. Only the choice of convenient has become possible. But when it comes to affordable we always forgets to point out for those.
In recent days, l’ triumphal announcement: no more survivor's pension for widows
I don't know if you will be realized, but it seems to me that Italians are happening today what happened in Poland to the Hebrews after’ Nazi invasion. Every day is a right, every day is a means of subsistence or adds a fee or increase existing taxes and previously unbearable. Everyday life becomes more difficult, not just for the poor. Even the middle classes are rapidly proletarizzando. I do not know how, but this ruling class has even managed to erase the work. In Italy, Maybe, There was full employment ’, but pretty much almost all the citizens could work. Someone with more luck, others with more exploitation, but the work was ’ c. Today, Instead, all manufacturing processes are moved to countries where abuse of slave labor is the easiest thing in the world. Meanwhile in Italy the unemployment in the industry get to paroxysmal levels, the services are abolished or are entrusted to interns, precarious, Teen desperate possibly zero or very close to zero salary. Even the right to education has been virtually erased, not just because the Italians, Although owners of lower wages d ’ Europe are forced to pay higher tuition d’ Europe, but also because the’ introduction of entrance test, as you'd expect, excluded from’ access all’ University all those who could not make use of political or economic spondature. Now l’ latest buzz is to take the survivor's pension to widows. It is not a return to’ Europe of 1800, is a return to Poland of 1939…

WEIRD EUROPE
The 24 November appeared on globalist.it an article by Giulietto Chiesa entitled "those who do not condemn Nazism" regarding a strange thing happened to the UN.
It seems that a United Nations Commission has examined, recently, a document condemning the glorification of Nazism and that on that document the Italy has refrained from voting, While they would have voted in favour 115 Member States and Ukraine, the United States and Canada.
L ’ Italy – in his capacity as President-in-Office of the European Union ’ – would declare its abstention, dragging all European countries.
“Explaining the vote, after vote, the representative of Italy ’, speaking on behalf of the European Union ’, He said that the ’ Union is committed to fighting racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, by general national efforts, regional and international. The individual States were free to decide the content of the text of the resolution, However, the ’ Union has had doubts about the sincerity of the text, as the main supporter of the resolution has violated human rights” (source: the UN Press Office).
The strange thing is, no newspaper or newscast Italian, According to Giulietto Chiesa, He dreamed about the news and how justly he observes: “If the vote of any resolution had subordinated all ’ assessment of the good faith of the applicant, with all evidence, There would be no rating possible in any international forum. In this case the applicant was, Evidently, the Russia, not the power that keeps open the Guantánamo prison camp”.
I agree with Giulietto Church that concludes that similar news cover with shame the whole West, but I would add that it would be very desirable to know l’ identity of the man or woman who made such claims all’ Assembly of’ UN. You might ask this person, as a result of which democratic debate, He could express opinions so questionable on behalf of 712 millions of people.
