I thought I recognised the name on the main gallery site. Witold Pilecki[0] was an astonishingly brave Polish cavalry officer who volunteered to be incarcerated in Auschwitz[1]. They wanted to get intelligence out and if possible organise resistance in the camp. He escaped after over 2 years, and volunteered to fight during the Warsaw uprising.

Edit: He survived that but was executed after the war by the Poles after a show trial and conviction for espionage. He'd been collecting evidence of Soviet atrocities in Poland.

There were not "very fine people on both sides".

Isn’t it ironic that the new wave of fascism is led by a half German (drumpf) surrounded by so-called “Jews” and applauded by Israelis (some of which are 2nd and 3rd generation survivors)... Netanyahu wrote the playbook drumpf is using to attack “foreigners”, ie. same ideas spread by Israeli right in respect to Palestinians.

This will be very controversial but lately I've been wondering why is it that Germany's atrocities are still talked about however similar atrocities committed by the Allies are ignored.

Let's take Britains rule in India, particularly the Bengal famine of 1943 that killed 2-3 million people (as it happened around the same time as concentration camps).

Let's not even get into Belgium rule in Congo.

Is this just a "History is Written By the Victors”? I'm not trying to vindicate Hitler, but what's up with this?
