the "H" word, as it is becoming known here is front and center of world debate again:
There is much known about the H and there is still more being discovered.
The complete cessation of the discussion of the H is not intended here, and with the upcoming conference in Iran, we are going to be hearing a lot more about it.
If each poster can just think a little bit longer before they post, maybe take a few deep breaths, or refrain from posting immediately, then perhaps we can keep the bias out; and the interest in.
I personally do not like to talk about it at all, and I refrain from visiting H memorials and seeing H movies as I do not like the hostile emotions that it tends to create.
It is far better to not discuss it, but if we have to, let's all do it with respect; as many people did die, and did suffer, and the number of them is not material as their numbers NEVER stop growing.

German Holocaust museum to unveil archive materials
By The Associated Press
BERLIN - The museum in the stately Berlin villa where Nazi leaders formalized their plans for genocide has revamped its exhibit, incorporating previously unavailable information from eastern Europe and Russia, the museum director said yesterday.
The House of the Wannsee Conference, on a lake in a posh suburb of the German capital, will open the exhibit to the public tomorrow, said museum director Norbert Kampe.

"With the opening of the eastern European archives, the role of the police battalions and the Gestapo in the extermination of the Jews in eastern Europe has become much clearer," Kampe told reporters.
On January 20, 1942, a group of 15 civil servants, SS and party officials met at Wannsee for the meeting called by Reinhard Heydrich, head of the Nazi Security Service and Security Police.
The conference was once thought to be the point at which the Nazis decided to stop deporting and randomly killing Jews and instead to industrialize their murder. However, most historians now agree the decision had already been made months earlier - based partially on the newly discovered records. It is now thought Heydrich called the meeting to ensure everyone knew what Nazi leader Adolf Hitler wanted done and to establish SS oversight of the process.
Even after the $725,000 overhaul, the centerpiece of the exhibit is the minutes of the meeting taken by Adolf Eichmann, found in 1947 in the files of the German Foreign Ministry, which spells out the Nazi's plans in plain bureaucratic language.
"Here, in the house of the perpetrators, the organization of the Holocaust is the main theme," Kampe said. |
