Many years ago I went to work in a prison because I needed steady, decent paying work. I had the best of intentions. It didn't take long for me to become indifferent to the suffering of the inmates, joking about the worst things that went on there with my fellow officers. I often thought that I wasn't all that hard- just look at some of the officers who had been working there for a long time. Eventually I had worked there for a long time. One day I was laughing about a new inmate who had been attacked and raped. I realized that I'd become exactly what I'd swore I'd never let myself become- cynical, heartless, burned out, PTSD'd and hooked on adrenaline. I got other training and resigned, becoming a truck driver, the only job not requiring me to interact with others. I still have dreams about that place, even after all these years. Auschwitz guard? Sure! A lot of people would adapt within six months.

( I can't remeber exactly the equation but it was a very basic equation) I stood up and disagree but in a very hysterical way. I completely overacted. The whole class laughed at me and she respond by asking every one in the class to raise their hands if they agree with me. Nobody did. Then she asked everyone in the class to raise their hands if her calculation was correct. Unanimously every single person raised their hands. She then discussed how group pressures can lead to atrocities like the holocaust. She said I was the first student that stood up and disagreed . I come from an abusive childhood and just got tired of being bullied. If you are used to humiliation, it doesn't faze you anymore. People stand up when they have nothing more left to loose.

“ the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked , who can know it “ Jeremiah 17:9

My Grandad was a prisoner of war to the Germans, he was in the Desert rats and his vehicle was blown up when it went over a mine, he was the only survivor, a German patrol found him, with his stomach blown out, nearly unconscious, the patrol rushed him straight back to one of their field hospitals, where he eventually made a recovery. The soldier that found him regularly visited him while he was in hospital, to see how he was doing, and they became friends, my grandad didn't smoke, so would swap his cigarette rations with him for his chocolate rations, he gave my grandad a picture of himself with his wife and 2 kids, and said to him, to come and find him once this stupid war was all over, sadly he never saw him again after that, we believe he was executed when the camp was liberated, my Grandad kept that picture his whole life. Once moved to the prisoner of war camp, he was put in a room, with lots of bunk beds, it was similar to the barracks they did they stayed in while doing basic training, they were kept comfortably at first, but eventually there was just not much food left to go around, one of the guards told him this was caused by the allies destroying vehicle convoys carrying food to the camps, and that they had even tried to air drop food, but their planes had been shot down. Obviously the allies would not know what the vehicles were carrying, it could have been fuel or weapons, so had to destroy it. He escaped from that camp, along with a few others, assisted by a German guard. He was recaptured a few weeks later, and sent to a different camp. My Grandad became friends with the prison warden at the next camp, the prison warden would invite my Grandad to visit him, and they would discuss books, politics and general chit chat, the warden had been to university in England, so would ask about Rowing teams, Rugby and other things that reminded him of the good times he had there. He told my Grandad about all the German people that had tried to resist their government, and that had different political views, or just refused to fight, and how they and their whole families had been rounded up and possibly imprisoned or killed, it was fear of their own government forcing a lot of the German people to fight, he said if they had had the weapons and organisation to fight back from the start, it might have just been a German civil war, and never gone any further, but the government controlled the weapons, the newspapers and radio. my Grandad eventually managed to escape that camp as well. From everyone my Grandad spoke to, on both the Allied and Axis sides, he said that 99% of people just wanted the war to stop, wanted to go home to their families, didn't want to have to kill anyone, and didn't really care about any larger political situation, they just wanted jobs, and to be able to earn enough to raise a family in peace and comfort, and a cold beer at the end of a day. The German guards and soldiers seemed to know very little about anything outside of what they needed to perform their jobs, and it was mostly the same with the allied soldiers, its always a need to know basis in the military. Its the people in Governments that keep the biggest secrets, seem to love wars and committing atrocities, as to them its just numbers on a page, probably only a few thousand people really knew what was going on, and they wouldn't have had the power to stop it, there was actually a lot of German citizens involved in helping prisoners escape, helping downed airmen get back to their countries, fighting in resistance cells, leaking information to the allies, same with the French, their resistance fighters risked everything in an occupied country to help, while their government just carried on drinking wine and going to the theatre. I learned at a very young age that people are generally decent and the same, regardless of what country they come from, while governments just use religion, gun control and media brainwashing to control through fear.

In the book Ordinary Men, the Police officers that elected to go to Poland did so largely out of their desire to follow the chain of command and our innate need to belong to systems lead by a leader. The famous and disturbing social psychology experiment created by Stanley Milgram also known as the “THe Milgram Experiment” brilliantly laid out the length ordinary men and women will go to obey authority. The Milgram Experiment( this experiment as been done over and over again with the same results) showed that over 50 percent of us will give enough electric shock to kill someone because a guy in white lab coat( representing authority) tells us to do so…

Mass Formation Psychosis

I don’t think it’s difficult to understand that if you are told to do a job or starve or fear a similar fate, you would get on with it. Easy for anyone sitting in a safe place to say no way.

Much of the history that we've been told about WW2, especially about the Nazis was not true. I would recommend reading "The Bad War by Mike King" or "The Myth of German Villainy by Benton Bradley". Many of the prisoners from the concentration camps were killed because of the Allies. The Allies bombed the infrastructure, roads, railroads which made it impossible to get supplies, food and medical supplies to the camps which cause the outbreak of Typhus and caused starvation. We don't hear these things because the Allies are supposed to be the good guys. We also never hear about the fire bombings that the Americans and British did to the towns of Germany to cook and kill the German women, children, old people and even immigrants trying to get away from the war zones because they had so much hate for Germany and wanted to kill every German living - this was one of the war crimes committed but swept under the rug.... The history that we've been taught isn't the truth but then again, do we really expect to be told the truth from the government and military....?

There will always be a small number people who think like this but the good news is the rest of us normal people wised up to this way of thinking years ago. Let me finish by answering your final point. Of course food was getting into Germany - the Reich conquered much of Europe and had ample time to take food from the people of the conquered territories and also produce it's own, sometimes with forced labour. So they built up stocks. So your first point is meaningless. On your second point, the bombing, many in the Allied countries during the war and afterwards did not agree with the blitzing of German cities. As citizens of democracies they said so. That's a sign of Democracy and normal human behaviour, something a small number of people have an issue comprehending. Toodle pip

I agree with you. As I understand it the good Lord made our physical world with laws of nature to show us that the same laws exist in the spiritual world. For example take the physical law of entropy which states that energy is required to keep a system ordered. The law of spiritual entropy is the same and states that our natural tendency is to decay morally unless energy is injected. Therefore the role of each generation is to inject a moral code into their children through lessons, laws and traditions in order to fight that entropy. Religion plays an important role in this - to provide traditions such as giving thanks before eating (which can fight eating disorders) and laws such as though shalt not murder (which helps us say no to murder despite the sales pitch) and lessons such as deception leads to temptation which leads to purgatory (which helps us stay awake to lies). As you said God's judgement is an energy that keeps people on the straight and narrow, but in my opinion so is God's love. Mind you, that is only available if a person believes in God.

I read that book. I wouldn't call those guys "ordinary people" though. They were already police when they were recruited for the task, a profession which attracts more than its share of people with APD personalities, power-worshippers, and bullies.

@ScienceNow- Look up "Kapos" in the Holocaust. This took me 5 minutes. Maybe an apology to user-og2wt3le4j is warranted... The German concentration camps depended on the cooperation of trustee inmates who supervised the prisoners. Known as Kapos, these trustees carried out the will of the Nazi camp commandants and guards, and were often as brutal as their SS counterparts. Some of these Kapos were Jewish, and even they inflicted harsh treatment on their fellow prisoners. Kapos were rewarded for their work. They were granted privileges. They received better food, clothing and housing. Wearing a distinct armband displaying their status, they were spared hard labour and harsh treatment. They enjoyed better hygienic conditions, which in turn offered a layer of protection against rampant diseases. Kapos had easier access to flourishing black-market activities and corrupt dealings. Most importantly, power and privileges promised a chance of survival, provided they fulfilled the expectations of their SS masters. Many Kapos very quickly gained the reputation of brutal supervisors, beating, denouncing and even killing fellow inmates. Physical and sexual abuse were commonplace. Needless to say, this was not true of all Kapos. Some used their positions to support and protect, even to save the lives of others. If they were caught doing this or unable to perform their duties, they were dismissed, punished and henceforth treated as ordinary prisoners.

Along with the Russian writer Vasily Grossman's chapter on Treblinka from his book 'A Writer At War', they describe the descent of people into something that - if it wasn't so exclusively human a trait - would be described as inhuman. Primo Levi's 'Is This A Man?' is another great book that explores the thin skein of civilization that we clothe ourselves in and can so quickly discard.

We saw this same thing during the covid pandemic experiment. Never forget we are dealing with the same evil, authoritarian mindset today. WEF, anyone?

We certainly saw the same thing during the pandemic. Thousands of ill educated and ignorant people being persuaded that a global health emergency was a conspiracy to control their lives. I'll never forget that the same evil, authoritarian mindset chose to manipulate those people for its own political agenda.

A big factor also was the feeling like they won't be held accountable for their actions and could always say that they were just following orders. They put their conscience aside once they knew they were just a part of a bigger evil and not directly responsible.

My grandfather was in the 101st Airborne and liberated several camps. The part that bothered him was that all the locals who tried to play innocent, but provided the soldiers with food, bread, beer, did their laundry and so on. They provided all kinds of support for the camps, setting up cottage industries around the camps needs, but thought they were not a part of it.

"By any means necessary."

The problem with America at the moment is EVERYONE is a liar. You get a chance in November to choose between the liberal’s lies and the conservative’s lies. God Bless America, etc. etc. etc.

The most valuable lessons I learned in college were the Milgram experiment, and the Asch conformity experiments. I vowed then and there to never submit to groupthink, nor to ever subvert my will to the will of an alleged authority. Think how many lives could’ve been saved during the scamdemic if most people did likewise, and eschewed the clot shots.

Covid was an example of how quickly people were willing to single out the unvaccinated, shun and evict them from society and even recommend they be rounded up and placed in quarantee camps. The moral justification was understandable and many good people accepted this a justifiable consequence for those who were not willing to comply with the narrative.

It is too advanced for high school students. They should read Anne Frank instead or perhaps the autobiography of Rudolph Hoess (Commandant of Auschwitz) or Gitta Serney's book on Franz Stangl ( Commandant of Treblinka).

My history teacher (a true communist) she asked the class who would not have voted for the Nazi party. 29 hands went up and mine remained down. Knowing I was already right liberal she said: “oh you would’ve?” I remained calm and said: “there’s a third honest answer, and that’s I don’t know! I never suffered hunger and severe poverty that the Germans did. And then some guys from the national socialists comes to power and you have work, food and even luxury! I may even have voted left!” She shouted that Hitler wasn’t left. So I I said: “it’s in the name love. And usually I don’t care for government assistance and power as a righty’s but even I may have swayed when suddenly I’m in richness. I wouldn’t have been behind the endlosung for sure, but in 1933 that wasn’t known. It’s easy looking back it’s hard looking forward. And you support a regime that killed even more than the Nazis did in Russia and China!” And she shouted to leave and report to the headmaster 😂 But during covid I learned as a then 46 year old that I wouldn’t have complied. I didn’t wear a face mask, I demonstrated against the idiocy, I didn’t take the jab I didn’t test myself and for 8 months I wasn’t even allowed to take part in social gatherings - much like the Jewish people in 1940 who weren’t allowed into cafes. People have a totalitarian streak in them and that discovery made me very sad.

Where can I find the full version of this interview?

My parents emigrated to Canada from Germany in 1954. I was 3 at the time and always wondered how Hitler could have recruited so many people and turn them into monsters. The Evolution of the Russian people in the Ukraine conflict has answered all my questions. My mother’s first husband was a Polish spy and shot in the town square. The average German put on blinders to what was happening and the opportunists became monsters. Had they had the technology we have now, my mother and all her family would have been eliminated. What is happening now is terrifying for the future. Thank you sooooo much for helping to bring an understanding and awareness that hopefully will turn the tide. It is all about understanding people.

If you read Viktor Frankl’s book Man’s Search For Meaning, he talks about how certain Jewish people, men & women, were put into positions, by the German guards, of being in charge of certain Jewish encampment groups and how they were often worse in how they treated their fellow Jews than the German soldiers were. So, there’s that also when it comes to human behaviour. We saw similar behaviour beginning to be demonstrated in the plandemic years since 2020.

Peterson is probably right. Nevertheless ...There were over 90 concentration camps ín Germany, not for Jews etc but for German citizens. Communists, socialists, homosexuals - everybody who thought differently or refused to "cooperate" was sent to such a prison. So there was a lot of coercion.

There was a vast concentration camp system, but the death camps in the east were established for one reason only: to exterminate the Jews. Treblinka, Sobibor, Chelmno, Bełżec were built with one purpose: murder. Majdanek and Auschwitz II-Birkenau had both concentration camps and a death camp component.

A long time ago I looked into the horrors committed by prison guards at concentration camps. Horrible cruel acts which weren't required of them to do their "jobs" (which was simply to take train-loads of alive people and turn them into dead people), but they simply wanted to. Torturing, and causing extra suffering was pointless and slowed the process down, but these sadistic people took joy in it. The men and women doing this were normal people before the war, they didn't have criminal convictions, they just abide by the law. And when that law allows them to be evil, they'll be evil. Ever since then, and every time I meet people and work with people I can't help secretly asking myself- would this person be one of those guards if given the chance. I'm convinced I've met loads like that.
