Something for all of us to chew on

Auschwitz through the lens of the SS: Photos of Nazi leadership at the camp



A photo album shows life at the retreat at Auschwitz. Laughing girls. Sing-alongs. All alongside the gassing.



Remarkable. And instructive. It's so easy to just dismiss the Nazis as monsters, as if they were Bond villains.

Real evil wears a different face.



Is it the face we see in the mirror?

  1. Wow ...

    You're right. We tend to think of someone this evil as being a comic book villain ... the Nazi Red Skull or something hideous and evil-looking or with a name like Doctor Doom.

    Photos from a concentration camp, with pretty dancing girls and an accordion.

    That's a sobering thought.
