Default Re: Absolutely sickening

The scariest thing about the images is their very banality.
Whenever I read of these people I find myself thinking "what would I have done?", imagining myself growing up, finding work, generally existing etc. in the Third Reich... the chilling answer usually seems to be, given the same circumstances of those in the pictures; exactly the same.
Ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances can willingly, even dutifully, become psychopaths, as long as the dominant perception of what is 'right and proper' allows it.

Truly an insane situation, which the contrast between these shots, and those of emaciated skeletal adults & executed children, processed by factory methods, can only underline.

Cheers,
Adam.
