Nazis Open Holocaust Archives



This incredible video of the German government opening up a gigantic storage trove of holocaust records was made by CBS 60 Minutes. Over 16 miles of filled shelf space documents the killings. Records of such things as the number of lice each prisoner had are documented in long hand records. Individual executions were timed to the minute to prove to Hitler that they were doing an excellent job. Click on the headline above to see the video. Even though my German ancestors left Germany long before the holocaust and I was born years after the holocaust - I feel the guilt and shame of such horrible actions.
