BUND DEUTSCHER MADEL or the BDM was the girls version of the Hitler Youth.
The surprising thing is, it was the only LEGAL young girls organization in NAZI Germany.
WEIRD!
“If she had spoken out against it she would have joined the jews in the concentration camp”
Exactly... had a dear older friend that had been in the hitler youth... he told me when they came for you... saying no thank you was not an option...
But the inattention paid to this young woman, and the monumental white-washing of the man who slaughtered her, troubles me greatly to this moment.
There has to be a first. After that the killings come more easily.
Imagine a specific attempt to exterminate all TRUMP VOTERS on the planet. Inapt, yes, but hardly unthinkable.
Well, yes. What creeps like Stalin and Mao did was really, really bad. Many of the Democrats are evil. Others just need to learn something real. In the end, even the accomplices will be severely punished.
What alternative she rejected is no concern of mine. She worked as the top secretary in a death camp. She finally will receive justice.
You have an interesting question, so I researched it, keep in mind I am not a lawyer, and I doubt it if you are. One such article said:
“Generally speaking, most people are under no legal obligation to report a crime, whether they knew about it in advance, witnessed its commission, or found out about it after the fact. However, there are exceptions to this law that you ought to know about.”
I could find nothing readily available about simply having knowledge making one an accessory. I did find that if there is a specific law, of which some states have and some federal situations apply, then it may be illegal to have knowledge of a crime and not report it.
I think that is why the thousands of Germans that had knowledge but were not active participants were never charged. Had it been illegal at the time of the Tribunals, there would have been thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of arrests prior to Nuremberg.
To do so now so many decades after the fact when the context of a crime has changed with the liberalizing of the cultures is pure liberal hogwash.
Although I think your point does come into play, everyone needs to remember a little better that Stalin didn’t just target “political subgroups” of his own people. Look at the atrocities he committed specifically against the Ukrainian people in the Holodomor (millions dead), as well as his specific targeting of Jews and Poles.
I think one reason for the very different ways in which Nazis vs. Communist genocides are treated has to do with the Nazis being portrayed as right-wing (even though they were openly socialist and had “socialist” in their party name), while most historians in the West come from a left-wing background influenced heavily by Marxist scholarship reluctant to focus on of the evils of Marx-based Communism.
Let’s say she did see the crimes. What was it anyone expected her to do as a secretary? Call the police?
Makes me wonder just what they’re going to do once all the Nazis or those who worked for them in any capacity are dead. I suppose they could start going after children, and grandchildren, great-grandchildren, cousins, 2nd cousins, 3rd cousins.
This is not justice, I don’t care how ‘chosen’ some people think they are.
Germans seem to love their cultural guilt.
In Sept.1958, I was TDY from, Ft. Gordon to Redstone Arsenal, to install telephone equipment for Wernher Von Braun.
“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others!”
Waste of govt money and time at this point. Nearly all will be dead in another year. Better time and money spent going after migrant criminals and othevreal threats.
Its a money making scam is all it is.
While they ignore and excuse Muslim rape gangs ... as does the UK.
Yes. She wasn’t in charge in creating policies and obviously as a teenager had power over no one, while also living under a brutal one-party dictatorship.
Who was she suppose to tell, Hitler?
“I agree with you 100%! The Chinese should aggressively pursue this.”
Ha.
Chinese were worse than the Japanese.
Mao thanked the Japanese because he knew the communists never could have taken over if the Japanese hadn’t invaded and done what they did.
“Imagine a specific attempt to exterminate all Christians on the planet or to exterminate all east Asians or sub-Saharan people as designated by race. That was the difference between what the Nazis tried to do and what communist tyrants “
Communists did the same thing. And succeeded in murdering even more than the Nazis.
We think the Nazis were worse because we are familiar with the victims and were involved in stopping it.
But Chinese landlords and Ukrainian peasants are a lot more distant to us.
Is this the German government that is charging her? And she was just a secretary? With no decision making responsibilities? Insane. Her family should sue
And as for Germany...Guilt: the gift that keeps on giving.
Yes, she may have seen documents but what could she have done? At that time and place, being a young woman?
