A lot of "useful" prisoner, like doctors and nurses, were used by the nazis to treat other prisoners in the concentration camps. These doctors were killed every six or so months and new ones replaced them. The nazis had endless waves of people that they murdered.
I fucking hate nazis. We should make them all afraid again.
Strangely enough The Strain (a show about vampires) portrayed it very well.
If you were "useful" you could basically sell your soul and help with some part of the extermination of people just like you. When you stopped helping you were killed and replaced.
Modern republicans ignore every subtlety and act like some of them were treated like humans and implying the reason everyone else was brutally executed was because they were worthless.
It's because a lot of modern republicans openly identify with nazis these days.
The Nazis actually had a policy of killing their slave doctors every 6 months. There was no, "until they stop being helpful". It was mandated to be 6 months. (but some camps were slightly more lax about it)
It was all pretty horrific, and the worst part is, the Nazis themselves never had very competent doctors, which is why they forced actually competent Jewish doctors to carry out the twisted experiments.
There are very few books written by people who survived the camps, and the one by Miklos Nyiszli is likely the best account of what these doctors were subject to.
Behind the Bastards covered this on their Mengele episode, which I highly recommend. Robert Evens had a more sympathetic outlook towards the jewish doctors who were useful to the nazis.
Basically, they were put in a terrible situation, and they were able to use their relative privilege to help other internees. And it isn't like they were living the life of luxury, they were all murdered on a regular basis so that they individually wouldn't become to important to the death machine. We shouldn't judge those people too harshly given the choices they were given essentially.
And, I am terrible afraid of the right wing in the US. They aren't even hiding their intent to do a genocide anymore. I live in a progressive enclave of a deeply red state. Needless to say, I'm armed and I encourage all my progressive friends to get armed.
If a reasonable person had made such a remark, they would rightfully be expected to apologize and take some serious time by themselves to reflect on the horrible mistake they had made. Given that this is Fox "News," I fully expect that no such correction will take place.
Well Hitler explicitly spared one and his family, it was his dentist...
But other than that its such a idiotic take that i as a German feel the need to show that asshole around the Camps like Auschwiz-Birkenau wich was literally just there to gas and burn people, there was little to no practical use, furthermore, the working conditions in the not Vernichtungslager (Extermination Camps) where so bad that slavery in Belgium Congo was humane compared.
Respectfully, eat shit and die, to the person that made this absolute nightmare of a L take
The museum is completely right.
Not just wrong, but UNAPOLOGETICALLY wrong.
That's Fox, that's Conservatives, that's Greg Gutfeld. Its so disgusting and dangerous.
Greg Gutfeld is now forever a Nazzi apologist. Don't ever let anyone forget it.
@Col3814444 Gutfeld, the alleged comedian, is an arrogant, vile douche. He has been elevated to prominence by Murdochs for years. Another personality spewing hate. One of the most loathsome remaining on that network, this latest example is not surprising, it’s the point that Fox is dishing out
FOX News once again saying the quiet part out loud.
