The Holocaust Just Got More Gruesome, Numbers Vastly Higher, 42,500 Ghettos and Concentration Camps Throughout Europe

19

Europe and the world learned nothing from this unimaginable monstrous genocide. Nothing. On the contrary, the world is anxiously marching towards the next holocaust.

“The Holocaust Just Got More Shocking” The NY Times (thanks to Madeline)

THIRTEEN years ago, researchers at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
began the grim task of documenting all the ghettos, slave labor sites,
concentration camps and killing factories that the Nazis set up
throughout Europe.

What they have found so far has shocked even scholars steeped in the history of the Holocaust.

The researchers have cataloged some 42,500 Nazi ghettos and camps
throughout Europe, spanning German-controlled areas from France to
Russia and Germany itself, during Hitler’s reign of brutality from 1933 to 1945.

The figure is so staggering that even fellow Holocaust scholars had to
make sure they had heard it correctly when the lead researchers
previewed their findings at an academic forum in late January at the
German Historical Institute in Washington.

“The numbers are so much higher than what we originally thought,” Hartmut Berghoff, director of the institute, said in an interview after learning of the new data.

“We knew before how horrible life in the camps and ghettos was,” he said, “but the numbers are unbelievable.”

The documented camps include not only “killing centers” but also
thousands of forced labor camps, where prisoners manufactured war
supplies; prisoner-of-war camps; sites euphemistically named “care”
centers, where pregnant women were forced to have abortions or their
babies were killed after birth; and brothels, where women were coerced
into having sex with German military personnel.

Auschwitz and a handful of other concentration camps have come to
symbolize the Nazi killing machine in the public consciousness.
Likewise, the Nazi system for imprisoning Jewish families in hometown
ghettos has become associated with a single site — the Warsaw Ghetto,
famous for the 1943 uprising. But these sites, infamous though they are,
represent only a minuscule fraction of the entire German network, the
new research makes painfully clear.

The maps the researchers have created to identify the camps and ghettos
turn wide sections of wartime Europe into black clusters of death,
torture and slavery — centered in Germany and Poland, but reaching in all directions.

The lead editors on the project, Geoffrey Megargee and Martin Dean, estimate that 15 million to 20 million people died or were imprisoned in the sites that they have identified as part of a multivolume encyclopedia. (The Holocaust museum has published the first two, with five more planned by 2025.)

The existence of many individual camps and ghettos was previously known
only on a fragmented, region-by-region basis. But the researchers, using
data from some 400 contributors, have been documenting the entire scale
for the first time, studying where they were located, how they were
run, and what their purpose was.

The brutal experience of Henry Greenbaum, an 84-year-old Holocaust
survivor who lives outside Washington, typifies the wide range of Nazi
sites.

When Mr. Greenbaum, a volunteer at the Holocaust museum, tells visitors
today about his wartime odyssey, listeners inevitably focus on his
confinement of months at Auschwitz, the most notorious of all the camps.

But the images of the other camps where the Nazis imprisoned him are
ingrained in his memory as deeply as the concentration camp number —
A188991 — tattooed on his left forearm.

I just finished the book, “A Child al Confino,” the story of a Jewish mother and child who fled Vienna days after the Germans arrived, and ended up in Italy in “internal exile” in a village in southern Italy. The author mentions that Jews who were placed in villages in northern Italy, areas where the Nazis took control, were shipped off to camps. An elderly couple who were confined in the same village as the author, were moved to Milan upon the petition of their children who had connections. When the Nazis took control of that area, they, with about 50-60 others, were taken and massacred.
The Nazis finally took control of the village where the author and his mother were living. Four times the Naxi leader requested a list of the Jews who were living there, and each time the mayor put them off. We can presume that if the mayor had not protected the Jews in that manner, that they too would have been shipped off or killed.
Last night I watched a program about IRA collaborators with the Nazis. After the end of the war, it was discovered that the Germans had lists of the Jews in Ireland. (I don’t remember if it was by name or simply locality.) Apparently this was prepared for the time that Germany would conquer England and take control of Ireland as well, and export their extermination plan to those islands.
The increase in anti-semitism today should concern us all who believe in equality and freedom. We must be prepared to stand up and defend the Jews, whether in isolated incidents of persecution or in institutionalized programs.

I’m sorry, but the line “but also thousands of forced labor camps, where prisoners manufactured war supplies; prisoner-of-war camps; sites euphemistically named “care” centers, where pregnant women were forced to have abortions or their babies were killed after birth; and brothels, where women were coerced into having sex with German military personnel” can be applied with at least as much force (and probably a lot more) to the soldiers of the Rising Sun.
This is old, oft-plowed ground. To portray it as heretofore unknown is deceptive packaging at the very least.
This is not to say what was done wasn’t evil, but don’t tell me, “The Holocaust Just Got More Shocking”.

“The maps the researchers have created to identify the camps and ghettos turn wide sections of wartime Europe into black clusters of death, torture and slavery — centered in Germany and Poland, but reaching in all directions. ”
This PROVES hardly anyone in WWII Europe can claim they “knew nothing about it”
This also PROVES that the figure 6,000,000 MURDERED JEWS IS VASTLY UNDERSTATED.

The Japanese were MONSTERS.
They were as INHUMAN as their Nazi Allies , including Medical Experiments, BARBARIC TREATMENT of Allied Prisoners such as “The Bataan Death March” in except for ONE key point:
They believed they were a “Master Race” destined to RULE the world as did the Nazis.
Where the Nazis WON the BARBARITY CONTEST was the GENOCIDE of the JEWS with the INTENTION of TOTAL EXTERMINATION of a PEOPLE.
The Japanese COMMITTED GENOCIDE(S) ,such as the “Rape of Nanking”,but ,to my knowledge,not with the intention of the DESTRUCTION of ENTIRE PEOPLE’s.

Hey Choi, I am a Japanese and I suspect you are Korean. Get the chip off of your shoulder and open your mind to my wisdom. Comparing Imperial Japan with Nazi Germany is fallacy and Nanjing Massacre was a 500% fabrication.

Comparing Nazi crime with something non-existent is a form of Holocaust Denial. Comparing Imperial Japan with Nazi Germany is, therefore, an act of Holocaust Denial. Those who use this platform to promote hidden agenda of Holocaust Denial should be ashamed of themselves.

” Get the chip off of your shoulder and open your mind to my wisdom”
DENIAL IS NOT A RIVER IN EGYPT!
That’s why you have your PROBLEMS WITH CHINA,TO THIS MINUTE.
Does your “wisdom” also include your denial of the IMPERIAL JAPANESE ABUSES of AMERICAN and ALLIED POW’S, INCLUDING CIVILIANS???
HOW ABOUT BEHEADINGS OF AMERICAN PILOTS?
COME TO THINK OF IT,WAS PEARL HARBOR A “FABRICATION”?!
AND ONE MORE:HOW CAN THERE BE JEW-HATRED IN NIPPON WITH NO JEWS?!

Were the Japanese WAR CRIMES TRIBUNALS as big a “500% FABRICATION” as the “Rape of Nanking”?

Pam says: ‘Europe and the world learned nothing from this unimaginable monstrous genocide. Nothing. On the contrary, the world is anxiously marching towards the next holocaust.’
Very well said Pam.
It appears that it is what formwiz doesn’t seem to grasp, when formwiz redirect the focus ‘to the soldiers of the Rising Sun’ , to support his argument of ‘deceptive packaging’ & therefore ‘but don’t tell me, “The Holocaust Just Got More Shocking”.
Cause that NYT report should be translated thru the today lenses of the Pam’ work ‘MyJihad’ that we all are familiar with, & therefore Pam opening line.
because, the stealth jihad of Islam occupation-expansion with its creeping political Sharia Despotism makes indeed that stealth jihad a type of upcoming ‘Holocaust Just Got More Shocking’, that Pam fights back & warns against with her opening line.
I need not give example of what that war, terror political doctrine does, not only to its own subjects in the Islam States, but also thru the war crimes and crimes against humanity happening as we speak in Europe that already turned into Eurabia thru such massive influx of arabs-mohamedans immigration.
As to the U.S case, Pam is already at work fighting back & sounding the alert as any alert warning against upcoming tsunami.
Again, Pam ! Very well said.
‘Europe and the world learned nothing from this unimaginable monstrous genocide. Nothing. On the contrary, the world is anxiously marching towards the next holocaust.’
Thru that correct angle formwiz & Pam readers should perceive, grasp and see the ‘drug to drowse’ consequences of the today lefties shouts of multiculturalism & tolerance towards Islam & Sharia with its immigration, they sound the same as the misleading policies of appeasement of Chamberlain that was scamed by Hitler.
The today left will of course not say that these policies of appeasement are nothing less than the Islamic policies of deceit, dhimmitude & Jizzya payment worked out on a global scale by the gangsters of the OIC. At a time that these criminals of the OIC direct the finger to Israel, antisemitism, antizionism, same as Hitler did, The left turns the westrners tax dollars as ‘prisoners manufactured war supplies’ feeding the Islamic policies of terrorism against free speech, deceit, dhimmitude & Jizzya payment.
Since when helping the enemy is no more viewed as treason but as ‘foreign aid’.

WARNING!!!
2 Billion Rounds of Ammunition are being STOCK PILED by Our Government. It has been SECRETLY puchased with OUR TAX DOLLARS, without our knowledge or consent. Because We The People, are the ones paying for that Ammunition, that Ammunition belongs to US.
We need to demand that the US Government now place that Ammunition under the direct control of the US Tax Payers, since we are the ones who were forced to purchase that Ammo without our knowledge or consent, and since our Government CLEARLY CANNOT BE TRUSTED.
Perhaps we should start a petition demanding that the RIGHTFUL OWNERS OF THE AMMUNITION (the American People) have access to that Ammunition and control over it, since that AMMUNITION RIGHTFULLY BELONGS TO US.

A BREAKDOWN OF THE CAMPS
When the project began, researchers thought they would find about 7,000 Nazi camps, only to find more than 40,000.
. 30,000 slave labour camps
. 1,150 Jewish ghettos
. 980 concentration camps
. 1,000 prisoner-of-war camps
. 500 brothels filled with sex slaves
And 1,000s of camps used for euthanizing the elderly and infirm, performing forced abortions, ‘Germanizing’ prisoners or transporting victims to killing centres

I remember re-watching the World at War with my dad recently, and they showed a field out back behind one of the camps, that was all remains. They gave the size of the field and I did the math in my head. Based upon what they said, just that field has an amount much larger than was mentioned. Several acres several feet deep.
