Only one with their nose so far up their ass (pardon my language) would believe or even say that about another culture. Again I'd like to say that if you were to say that to my face I would probably follow what SheepDog mentioned. You anti-Semitic prick, I have nothing else to say because it would sound very unprofessional and ridicules to continue ranting on about someone so worthless as you seem.

Sounds like you have not learned from your past, maybe we should get out some ropes for you to remember. To be completely honest. If you were to ever make a reference like that to my face you would find I am not tolerant to the advocation of killing innocent life. But in your case, you would have asked for it.

I come from Slovenia, a small European country that has borders with Austria. My grandparents and many older villagers I know have survived the horrors of the Nazi Concentration Camps, and if I were to write a story of their experience it would be very much like this one of Leona. It is my belief too that such memories should be shared and passed on to younger generations. People need to know of such horrific events so that atrocities like the holocaust shall never again be repeated. I tried to talk about the WW II events with my grandparents many times, but like Leona said- they would refuse to share their stories and choose to wrap their trauma in silence, though it must be unimaginably hard to do. They still have their index number tattooed on their forearm, which serves as a constant reminder of all the torture they've gone through during their imprisonment. I truly cannot believe how they manage to keep their spirit up. I guess it’s true that “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”. It is really remarkable how these victims have managed to rebuild their ID stripped of by the Nazis. Many are driven by some inexplicable force, embodying greater amount of life energy and happiness than most youngsters can. And this is something truly remarkable. For those who might be interested in the issue let me mention the Slovenian author Boris Pahor, who published several works dealing with horrors of WWII Nazi concentration camps. Surviving Nazi camps in France and Germany he gives a great insight into what was really happening at the time, especially in the book Necropolis, for which Pahor received Top French Honor. The piece has been translated into many languages and is an excellent read. After watching the documentary show and reading this story I could not but post a comment.
