And just as we identify with the victims, it’s also important for us I think to remember that the perpetrators of such evil were human, as well, and that we have to guard against cruelty in ourselves.

This ruined the whole thing for me. We have to remember the perps were human too, then guard against cruelty in ourselves? What a despicable trivialization of what was done to the Jews!

Question: When was the last time any of us ever had to fight the urge to kill whole families, humiliate them, perform wicked experimental torture on them without anesthesia, or use their skin for lampshades, to name just a few vile acts of these “humans”?

The answer: Never.

Who writes this stuff? To compare the sadism of the Nazi’s to each of us is ludicrous and offensive. You can’t compare sociopathic behavior with a normal person - it’s saying, “Remember, Dr. Hannibal Lecter was a person too; and since we’re all human, you must guard your hearts against doing those very same things.”

Disgusting.
