Today from Krakow I
took a bus and went to Auschwitz, a concentration camp made by the Nazis during
the second world war, not for prisoners of war but manly for some people that
according to the Nazis ideology they were a dishonor for the Human beings and
therefore they had to be killed. As the homeless gipsy, homosexuals,
handicapped mind persons and Jews, because they were successful emigrants and
homeless for generations in all Europe; they were forced by the Romans to leave
their home in Israel about 2000 years ago.
Approximately 7
million people, women, men and children, were killed in different
concentrations camps in Poland and in Germany, the most of them were Jews,
about 6 Million persons.
In Auschwitz alone
around 1 Million people were murdered trough, shooting, starvation and gas.
They were told to take off the clothes to take a shower, but once in the shower
rooms, from the tap did not run water but gas.
It is one thing to
read in books what happened here about 70 years ago and it is another thing to
be here, smell the same air as the detained people did when they arrived here
by train to be killed.
And why all this?
Because the Nazis Ideology wanted it and their helpers hoped benefits and
better chanche of lives for themselves?
But the Nazis were not
extraterrestrials that did not like some parts of the mankind and therefore they wanted to extinguish them.
The Nazis belong also
to the species of the human beings, and sure, they are not alone to be put into
a list of murders of this world.
The communist did the
same with the death of millions of innocent Russian people that died in
Siberian concentrations camps, the fascist in Italy did the same
with thousands of victims, the Japanese murdered 100 thousands of civilians
Chinese during their occupation in China, the Chinese suppressed and killed
many Tibetan people. This list could be much longer whereat hardly one nation
of this world could be left out.
As we still see
violence aiming the death of innocent people, as presently often happened with
bombing attacks in Iraq and Afghanistan with more than 1 Million civilians
casualties and the very recent gas attack in Syria with 1400 death, women,
children and men.
I am alone in the
lonely one remained gas room in Auschwitz, all the other ones are ruins, they
were destroyed by the Nazis before fleeing.
I look at the ceiling
and see a gap with a cover; from there the gas was let run into the room
killing women, men and children.
The next room is a
crematorium, where the fresh dead bodies were burned.
I feel that my eyes
are getting wet. I have a German passport in my pocket, but I feel not ashamed
to have the German citizenship, too. But, I start feeling ashamed to belong to
the species of the human beings.
At this moment, I
would feel prouder to be a monkey than a human being.
