  • @abarzilai664 Why is it that nobody ever speaks of the other more than 6 million people who were killed that were non-Jews? They were Gypsys, Poles, Romani peoples (Roma and Sinti), Soviet prisoners of war, Slavs, homosexual men, Jehovah's Witnesses, the disabled, and political opponents.

  • To recreate the feeling of it all, the conductor has to be very abrasive so that the orchestra is nearly as reluctant to play as the real one was.

  • Quite a moving memorail to the 6 million that perished in the fire.
