Dachau
In 1937 Nazi Germany began a series of Concentration Camps after conquering Poland. There was a little known City of Dachau that Hitler organized into the third largest Concentration Camp. Over 300,000 Jews were exterminated, at first by starvation and execution, finally by the gas chamber.
My Grandfather’s Nephew, Henry Kay, was sent to Dachau in 1939. His job at Dachau was simple; Dig a hole big enough for mass burials. He remained there for three years and was finally freed by the Allied Forces just after Normandy in 1942. Although there were supposed financial reparations made by Germany after the Holocaust, a person was not obligated into taking the money. My concern is this; What happens when someone is convinced that the only way to live their life is to forget a period of their life that another person doesn’t want to know about? Likewise, another person doesn’t want to know about the Holocaust, so it’s not alright for someone else to think about the Holocaust.
Henry Kay used to give his food ration to the wealthy Jewish children that couldn’t stop crying because they had never had to struggle for a meal. He did so willingly because of the punishment that was given to Jewish children as a result of being caught crying. These Jewish children were taken to the infirmary and put forth before Nazi Doctors (headed by Joseph Mengele). It was customary for these children to have their eyeballs taken out of their eye-socket and be injected with blue dye to try and get these Jewish children to see things properly. Even to this day people with blue eyes are sigmoid into thinking they’re evil, or, others look at people with blue eyes as evil, because of these sick practices. In case you haven’t noticed, there is a current Coca-Cola commercial that depicts a brain, a tongue (?), and a blue eyed eye-ball with stick-legs all casually conversing.
In psychological warfare a person is systematically broken down until they mistrust themselves. This is what Hitler and Mengele were trying to accomplish. It is also why Star-Trek started to depict the Borg as the enemy, and also why in later episodes there was a level of peace between Captain Picard and a lost and found Borg, who eventually was kept away from his race. The subplot was in trying to corrupt this race by corrupting this Borg, nixed as it was considered too sadistic.
