    I once spoke to a survivor as a child. I was in my elementary class and we had a Q&A with the man. One child asked him what was the worst thing he saw. All he could get out was "I saw a Nazi rip off..." And he just bursts into tears. I always wondered what he was going to say. But I'm honestly glad he never finished that sentenced.

He was eventually caught and died less than three days after Daschau was liberated. He saved so many lives, but because of that, he gave his own. He's my hero.

      I don't think the two can be seen as "equals". Some did it because they feared for their lives. Not forgivable, but understandable. Who DID this was a criminal and they got punished for that. They also knew how to convince people to give them Jewish refugees, like giving food or money, things that were running out during war. I don't feel like I should blame people for this, as war is something I wouldn't wish even to my worst enemy and you don't really know how you would go through it until you live it. BUT, I'd rather focus myself on remembering the good people who hid children or entire families, putting their own lives at risk just because being human was illegal.

      You must understand, the rest of the world isn't as individualistic as the United States. There is a sense of _national_ identity, and that each person is a representation of the country as a whole. Likewise, each person is also a reflection of their country.
      So the country's actions, past and present, are the burden- or pride- of each individual. There are individual Germans, but there is also Germany. Not the government, not the land, but the nation itself. Same with Russia, China, India, etc.
      So, for instance, the Russians feel pride for winning WWII, despite any Russian under ~80 years old never even having taken part. They also feel sadness for the Soviet Union collapsing, pride for Yuri Gagarin, happiness for Tchaikovsky, and so on. Because you are still part of the same nation, the actions of your ancestors are understood to be just as likely done by you.
      What makes you fundamentally more self-aware or 'holier' than every other generation of your nation before or after you? Nothing. So for a nation at any time to do something horrible is a reflection on all of the generations- or at least the ones following the incident. At the very least, it is a permanent mark on the history of your nation.

      @@justinstewart3012 that's...not quite true. As a Jew, there are genetic markers specific to being Jewish. Specific to Ashkenazi communities and to other communities as well. Of course, having Jewish ancestry does not necessarily make one Jewish, but it isn't incorrect to claim that they have Jewish ancestry. To be Jewish means to have a connection with your past, which is admittedly difficult if one doesn't know about one's past, but there are ways of determining Jewish heritage through testing.

      I've been stuck in "quarantine" for nearly two years, in a mental facility for my depression and struggle with going to school. 2 years of my life and my teenage years have been stolen from me. I can barely see my loved ones and I've only gotten more traumatised in here. They've never done anything to help me, not even once. It only lasts a couple months for y'all, but it's been 2 years and counting with no end in sight for me. Please be grateful.
