Re: So Sad. Warsaw Ghetto: A survivor's tale

They might not have deliberaely acquiesced. Duress, coercion, fear, helplessness, depersonalization, apathy, no alernative, no hope, deception? All these things must have been present and it is impossible to know what it was like, what they would do themselves or how they would cope if in that terrible situation - Unless they had experienced it and survived it is beyond comprehension.
It could be asked why did the German population themselves and other countries not do something and why didn't the soldiers refuse to carry out their orders?
Much has been written about the holocaust and a personal account and analysis is in a book written by Viktor Frankl - "Man's Search for Meaning" Frankl was an Austrian Psychiatrist, who was a survivor of the camps. It was written just after WWII in 1946.
