At
some point somebody's gotta do a Khrushchev and admit that it was all a
sham and that tens of millions of people were really horribly harmed,
and yes it was that many and yes it really was that bad. It can either
be like Khrushchev/Mandela, where we admit the horrible crimes with the
idea that we just want them to stop, or we make it like Nuremberg and
the Nazis and we put them (the doctors and nurses and parents and other
complicits) on trial and hang them all and hand out all the blame to
everybody to whom it's due until it's all gone and we document every
last detail of every last crime. And then we're going to have Nazi
hunters and people going on the run and changed identities until they
all die of old age and the practice continuing underground indefinitely.
And in the end, as always, the Jews are going to get screwed over in the latter case.
BUT
either way, we have to admit that it's horrible and has to stop. That's
why we can even DISCUSS the merits of this kind of story, because of
our unwillingness to properly confront and contemplate evil for what it
is.
