Yeah I know but I never thought they'd be in cages in the first place and I never thought we'd elect Donald Trump.

Quote:
“I gained an important perspective on Auschwitz from an Israeli dentist who had spent years in that camp. We were completing a long interview, during which he had told me about many things, including details of SS dentists’ supervision of prisoners’ removal of gold fillings from the teeth of fellow jews killed in the gas chambers. He looked about the comfortable room in his house with its beautiful view of Haifa, sighed deeply and said, “This world is not this world.” What I think he meant was that, after Auschwitz, the ordinary rhythms and appearances of life, however innocuous or pleasant, were far from the truth of human existence. Underneath those rhythms and appearances lay darkness and menace.” (Robert Jay Lifton The Nazi Doctors – Medical Killing and the Psychology of Genocide)
