Nazi concentration camps-belated justice

"Until the end of the war, the allies did not know the scale of the Nazi genocide policy."

In the documentary "Color World War II", it was commented that it was quite shocking, even more shocking-the number of Jews who died innocently in the concentration camp reached 6 million, and the behavior of the Nazi SS was so inhuman and inhuman. Why is this? Is it the leader's abnormal psychological pursuit, or is there a difference in religious beliefs, or is it the so-called "national superiority and inferiority"? At this time, the war has changed color, become a tool of destruction, and become an unscrupulous massacre. What kind of hatred caused Hitler and his SS soldiers to commit such a massacre that puzzled and was criticized by the world in history?

War is ruthless. Most of us don't like it, but once the war breaks out, isn't it beyond the control of ordinary people? We can only hope that the teacher of justice will be stationed as soon as possible to ensure peace and stability on one side.

I really admire the reporters who were embedded in the army at that time. They braved the bullets and left extremely precious historical images for future generations. I don't know whether to admire their bravery or worry about their company. If time can go back, I really don't want this to happen, but history has no ifs, only vivid and painful lessons. So, when you see such a lens, what do you think-a concentration camp surrounded by barbed wire, disheveled Jews, women, children, old people and young people, standing in barbed wire, staring at the lens, full of longing, that is the desire for life; Naked Jews, 2000 people lined up in a long line, were forcibly stuffed into a closed gas chamber that lied to be a bathroom by SS soldiers. When they came out, they were skinny and collapsed. The cremation room burned all night, the chimney was full of smoke, and the soldiers kept piling up bodies; At the entrance of the concentration camp, cars full of Jews keep coming ... These scenes are a huge psychological shock to everyone who cherishes justice and peace, and it is hard to forget.

Perhaps everyone knows Auschwitz, the largest concentration camp built by Nazi Germany during World War II, but it is not one, but a collective name of more than 40 concentration camps near Auschwitz, more than 300 kilometers away from Warsaw, Poland, where millions of people were detained. When the Soviet Union liberated these "special prisons", only more than 7,000 survivors survived. In addition, there are Dachau concentration camp in Munich, Germany, Saxony Hausen concentration camp in Berlin, Germany, Weimar Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany, Brendonk concentration camp in Brussels, Belgium (known as "Auschwitz" in Western Europe), and Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria. The massacre has become a mechanical operation in the eyes of SS soldiers, and they are numb. This is the most terrible, but it is also outrageous. Prisoners of war who should have been treated by the Geneva Conventions have also become lambs slaughtered by the Nazi SS in concentration camps, not to mention unarmed civilians.

The poem of the late Polish poet Bolognanski haunts my ears: There are millions of graves in my hometown. My hometown, let the war burn out. How unfortunate my hometown is. My hometown is Auschwitz.

Second, how to defend?

A Nazi soldier who was arrested many years later argued before he was arrested and boarded the bus: I didn't carry out the massacre. That was a supervisory order. I was just ordered to escort prisoners of war and Jews to the concentration camp. This seems to be a simple command and a simple escort, but I don't know about it, but it indirectly contributed to an appalling massacre, just like a roaring machine. From arrest, escort, expulsion, execution, burial and burning, every link is a part of this big machine, but sometimes they don't know it. Perhaps this is the decision of the leaders, and as soldiers, it is their unshirkable responsibility to obey orders. However, such an order violates one of the most basic morality and conscience of mankind. What shall we do? Won't they carry it out? Or stand up and resist? I don't think so. In this case, it is difficult for even conscientious soldiers to get in touch with a large number of militants around them.

If there is a platform for defense, I believe many soldiers will take the stage to make a statement. Unfortunately, history has not given them the slightest chance to defend themselves. The first person to wage war was also swallowed up by the torrent of steel.

Three peace alarm bells!

You may have seen the movie Schindler's List. Schindler is a speculative businessman. He is a staunch Nazi, and his conscience was discovered because of the bloody massacre of the Nazis. He finally saved 1200 Jews in the name of employment through bribery and other means. This is a real historical event.

You may have seen the film The Pianist. As a major musician, Varadislau Vardis Lao Spearman suffered from hunger and humiliation in the Warsaw ghetto. He escaped the Nazi carpet search and hid in the ruins of the city. Finally, because of his talent, he touched a German officer who risked his life to protect him until the end of the war. This is also a real historical event.

This is the human heart and humanity, and this is also the complexity of war. The enemy may be upright, but his own side may be cold, with different owners and different beliefs and pursuits, but the justice people want will eventually win, and the anti-fascist alliance is exactly what people wanted at that time.

1945 Nazi Germany was defeated, and Hitler, the supreme head of Nazi, shot himself in the basement of the German Reichstag. The war is over, but the pursuit of Nazi executioners is far from over, or even just the beginning of decades of global decline. Nazi hunters are still persistently searching for possible clues to hunt down Nazi war criminals and bring them to court for trial. This is a relay race, from elderly grandfather to middle-aged father to young children, vowing to end the evil of World War II in the long river of time.

Sometimes there is an invisible gap between law and justice. Whether it is Nuremberg trial or Tokyo trial, whether it is Auschwitz concentration camp massacre or Nanjing massacre, it should be remembered by the world, because disasters are always worthy of vigilance. Looking back at history, mourning the dead and remembering history is not to arouse and strengthen hatred, but to make future generations cherish today's hard-won peace more. The world can't stand another huge war wound, human beings can't stand a devastating blow, and civilization can't stand the ruthless destruction of barbarism.

The alarm bell is ringing, and the price of peace is already heavy.

Jason Wu, director of the Wolf Warrior series, once said: "We didn't grow up in a peaceful era, but we grew up in a peaceful country." Our generation has never experienced the baptism of war, and most of our knowledge of war comes from history textbooks, documents, audio-visual images and stories of our elders. Nevertheless, we can still feel the cruelty of war, and believe that there will always be stories of soldiers that make us sad and cry, and there will always be displaced people that make us feel sympathy and pity.

Justice may be late, but it will never be absent.
