Are there any stories of the soldiers who participated in the murders and survived the war? How could they live with themselves? Even if they were indoctrinated at a young age, at some point in their lives they had to realize they murdered innocent people and there was no way it could be justified.
Shocking that a civilized, educated, strong and wealthy European country could do such horrific things.
Such a brave woman
Words cannot express the horror and brutality of Babi Yar. That anyone survived and lived to tell
the tale is a miracle. What erudite brain thought that one up I wonder, from the well educated
and privileged Officer class. Some of the Commanding Officers of the Sonderkommandos had
Doctorates or were Lawyers. I would be interested to know how the actual perpetrators came to
terms with killing so many helpless and innocent people, who were no threat and had done
nothing to them. How ever did they live with themselves.
I truly feel sorry about you, it is speechless and couldn't even imagine how much you have been through after this horrible systematic killings. Really appreciate your bravery and the strong will to live.
Wow. Terrifying. A miracle the few who managed to survive.
😣 I'm so glad that you survived 😙
If someone survived of course,.but first of all he or she were naked and secondary they were injured , OR maybe that person or persons were visually impaired and at one time used eyeglasses , But as of.now has been separation from eyeglasses and now is blind as a bat as well. If anyone can survive that. Then Hashem was wanted them to live.And thats.a Miracle.
Sorry
Yes it was a miracle anyone survived back then, if they the officers didn't follow Hitlers orders they were shot on the spot , they were I guess as cruel & mean as he was! There's a saying that leopards don't change their spots! 😠
