[The Earl of Chesterfield]

I'm genuinely astonished by this, 'Fish'.

Can't you see the irony of dubbing an entire race evil because members dubbed another race evil?

The Nazis were evil, in every sense of the word, but then the Soviet regime under Stalin systematically murdered millions through their pogroms, many Western economies were established through slavery, and the British Empire was built upon that alongside widespread oppression and atrocities.

We invented concentration camps during the Boer War, for f**k's sake.

Even now it's difficult to truly comprehend the sheer scale of what the Nazis, supported by a populace whipped into a xenophobic frenzy, inflicted upon innocent people. But we should always remember what human beings are capable of, including ISIS in today's World, and stand firm against those that seek power through prejudice and hatred.

BBC2 Saturday night. If you are squeamish I advice you not to watch it. Evil race the Germans

I went searching for this on BBC iplayer, it was on Channel 4!!
Having visited Auschwitz I was intrigued to watch this programme, some very horrific scenes which would have been 100 times worse if you were there at the time and also the smell. The people interviewed were obviously still traumatised by what they saw.

I would strongly recommend a trip to Auschwitz
