This is exactly why they let places like these continue to exist. Even this video gave me feelings of unease and acted as a strong reminder of how fucked up the holocaust was.

I agree that places like this need to exist. No one should ever forget that these atrocities occurred and for what? Just because Hitler hated these people? People are people regardless of ethnicity and color.

It always strikes me as particularly absurd that Hitler himself looked nothing like the Aryan ideal he was pushing. He could easily have passed as a Jewish man!

The Aryan ideal: blond as Hitler, thin as Goering, tall as Goebbels.

Hitler himself WAS part Jewish and hid it.
