Comments
As far as the look of the concentration camp prisoners, the show achieved this by hiring people who were cancer patients at a nearby cancer facility undergoing treatment. This helped contribute to their look. Supposedly, several of them didn't live long enough to see their own appearance when the episode debuted. Additionally, the concentration camp set and extras were kept separate from the Easy company actors until the day of filming, which helped contribute to their shocked & appalled reactions. There's so much more I'd love to get into with you, but I would just end up typing a small novel. I've been studying WW2 for several decades now, and aside from the expected artistic license to storylines & characters, there's a ton of historical accuracy in this series, regarding details like the look of the locals, the appearance of buildings reduced to piles of rubble, etc. The look of the concentration camp with piles of bodies, and bodies left in railcars is very accurate, unfortunately. There are pictures and videos in existence to confirm this. Well, over on YouTube I did say that no human has ever watched this episode without having their emotions ripped to shreds. Now you know.

2022-08-18 17:05:53 +0000 UTCThe systematic dehumanization of others is always worrying. Years of blaming Jews for Germany's problems allowed for such things to happen. Any time someone tries to classify an entire group as "degenerate" you have to be wary. We're all very susceptible to propaganda and programming. We have to be vigilant to stand for human rights, and when someone demonizes another, you gotta step back and think .

2022-08-14 19:33:08 +0000 UTCHow do you convince a whole nation? Slowly. And pick the right time. You slowly build a following, make connections, build a base. Then you run for office and gain political power. Once you have that you begin to pump out propaganda through speeches and media. Run for higher office, start placing your followers in key positions. Pump out more propaganda. Eventually you reach the highest office. By then you’ve wiped out any opponents (look up "Night of the Long Knives") you perceived as threats to you, you have control of the doctors, scientists and military. Most importantly, you’ve convinced most of your population that what you are doing is for their benefit and that if you don’t, OTHERS are going to take away what is theirs and that your race is superior. There's a reason you may have heard people in America express concerns recently about these kinds of signs. The camps, torture and experiments didn’t begin after Jews were forced into the ghettos. They started years before and we’re performed on unwanted or ignored people in society like the mentally ill and disabled.

2022-08-14 13:21:30 +0000 UTCIt goes on today -- look at how Trump started villainizing the Migrants at the border of this country -- saying they were all criminals and rapists, etc. They took their children away from them -- they put them all in cages. This is how it starts.... Another video to watch is Schindler's List by Steven Spielberg and also Anne Frank is a good movie on what happened.

2022-08-14 11:55:31 +0000 UTCMan has throughout history has always shown a capacity to be utterly inhumane to other man. Most of human history has had slavery of some form or another. Torture has been used throughout history. Japan was utterly brutal to those in conquered during this same time period, and had its 731 program that rivaled the atrocities done in Germany. And how they treated conquered woman will make your blood boil. Ethnic cleansing happens in the world even today, and for the most part the world at large turns a blind eye to it. Generally unless it happens in a part of the world were other countries have a vested interest, its seen as not worth the trouble to try and prevent, will just send some humanitarian aid and hope it gets to whom it needs to (often slim hope at that). Between 1938 and 1962 history has the three largest mass extermination of other humans done not through warfare or plague Hitler's regime is third on the list. Stalin killed more of his own country men, then Hitler. And Mao Zedong (between 58-62) caused the death of what could be greater then 45 million Chinese, and history (at least western history barely even mentions it, and it absolutely included the torture of millions. They had several types of camps. Concentration camps, Death camps, Labor camps, and POW camps. All were horrific, and all had large scale massive loss of life, but only death camps were specifically designed to just kill. Auschwitz for example was a complex of three of them Concentration, labor and death. And if I remember correctly they were the ones that branded those held. If true that means the ones shown here would have been transferred from Auschwitz (likely from the work camp side). Not often mentioned but POW camps had over 3 million that died. Before the Jewish population was forced into concentration camps (and later Death camps) the first ones primarily were people who were communist, Roma, and gays. They absolutely hated the communist view, and soviet prisoners of war were treated on average far worse (then other POW). But once they started removing Jews from the Ghettos it quickly become a nightmare to a degree that is exceedingly difficult to conceive, On the public. It was very well known about Jews being initially rounded up into Ghettos, and also very well known they were taken to camps. Now one only has to look at how people process news in the US to see how large numbers of people can here and read news and take completely and often opposite interpretations of what the news means....But this was primarily printed news, printed fliers, and radio. Not a tone of visual medium (though a little). Now camps (or all types) were generally not located right next to towns and cities. But they did have to get supplies and various resources often from local areas. So there would be some people from local towns that had direct contact with the camps to at least see directly some of the horrors. And there were some reports of some of the them as well. But if you wanted to stay away from the worst of the news you absolutely could. Just like some people today won't read or watch news because they don't want to here all the bad in the world. And there would also be many that new their government was doing some very awful things, but deliberately wouldn't seek out more. In much the same way that most people in the US don't dig deep into any of the various things our government has done over the years that was cruel and barbaric. I mean we imprisoned American citizens on the west coast who were of Japanese descent. We paid them penny on the dollar for their possession striped them then of everything and put them in internment camps. No trial, no investigations, nothing. And to make it worse, did we do that to the large population of Americans who were of Germanic descent? The answer was no. We even had some POW camps that allowed more freedom for white prisoners of war, then what was allowed to actual American citizens who just happened to look different. And the country was for it.
