From r/AskHistorians :
It is a fundamental fact of the guards' and administrators' lives at Auschwitz that after a day of gassing thousands of people, of shooting and beating prisoners, of having them work and starve to death, they would go home into their nearby houses to their wives and children to spend evenings and weekends that were totally "normal" in the sense of doing stuff people in every other job, every other profession do to: Have meals, loan a book from the library, go for a swim, a walk, a drink. And the larger organization of the SS had to make sure they have these amenities like every other employer who wants to keep his employees happy: So they build a pool, a library, and a day care center for guards and their families, all using prisoner labor from the camp
Sure, Auschwitz and other Nazi concentration camps had soccer firlds, swimming pools and libraries but they were for the SS guards and some proviledgied inmates (kapos). the average inmate didn’t had access to these, apart if he worked there.
The implication here is that they deserve so much worse, because all Jooz are evul, but Hitler was just too kind-hearted. Also that jooz are a bunch of whiners… as if having one’s life upended, being separated from one’s friends and family, and kept in an open-air prison as a collective punishment and not because of anything specific one did, somehow isn’t any sort of big deal.
Was the next journal entry, “We asked the camp commandant when we could leave, return to our homes, see our children again and maybe reopen the shoe store my father founded, and he laughed in my face, hit me with the butt of his rifle, and gloated that being imprisoned against my will for the heinous crime of not being liked by Farty McStupidStache was all a humble shoemaker such as myself ever deserved, and if I wanted to blame someone for my lot, I should take it up with the ancestor who decided to be Jewish three thousand years ago.”?
“At least the guards get a nice pool and orchestra to enjoy while they suffer, watching over emaciated peasants like us. Good for them. Must be nice. Gotta go, we’re having lice soup for supper again.”
“I sure hope that at some point in the future, maybe eighty or so years, that some cartoonist - who should really know better - doesn’t try to trivialize the suffering of innocent people just because they fell down some social media rabbit hole. Or worst, because they enjoy being the center of attention, be it for good or bad, and seek to placate the most horrid sort of people, in the hopes - that should the worst possible outcome come to pass - that they, being of non-white and non-Aryan stock, would be spared the fate that awaits us all under the jackboot. But who would possibly be that stupid, soulless, or corrupt?”
Not to diminish the utter bullshitness of this whole thing, but I’m unreasonably triggered by how the noises in the second panel are written as “toot toot strum strum”…when it clearly shows two of the musicians playing BOWED instruments…which, ya know, they are clearly bowing and most definitely not strumming.
yeah, i knew sinfest went from angry radfem to alt-right, but like, this crosses every single possible line ever. What the fack
