the holocaust just got more shocking
'heavens above, how awful it is to live outside the law - one is always expecting what one rightly deserves.'
petronius, the satyricon
Not shocked anymore. Someone could tell me Nazi scientists experimented with burning infants for research purposes and I wouldn't be surprised, oh wait.
It was shocking enough before. Remember Doctor Mengele?

The vast majority of the horror of the Holocaust will never truly be known. Accounts we read are for the most part accounts of survivors; the few "lucky" ones if we can call them that. It is all skewed in one direction. What happened to European Jewry during the Holocaust can only be more tragic than any surviving evidence can show.
I recommend Miklos Nyiszli's Auschwitz: A Doctor's Eyewitness Account for some primary source material on the Sonderkommando working with Mengele.
I know this is different, but in the topic what`s also interesting and disgusting is Japan`s Unit 731 in China; basically using live humans to test biological and chemical weapons.
^that is a pretty disturbing story (re: Unit 731). I remember reading in a story in National Geographic (IIRC) about how they'd do surgeries on living subjects (without anesthesia, of course!)...the surgeons referred to the subjects as "logs" so they wouldn't identify with them as humans anymore.
"Win, lose or draw...long as you squabble and you get down, that's gangsta."
I'm slightly confused. What exactly is that's new and shocking? The widespread existence of satellite camps, ghettos and smaller concentration camps is well known. I don't understand why the discovery that more of them existed would be shocking.
