Buchenwald Lampshade Found

[the last yatto]

Guess finding grandpas ears would have been better example

Yeah, whatever.  Tell us all about how the holocaust never happened, Yatto.

Didn't say it didn't happen ever, just saying we aren't high and mighty. And considering Hilter cited armenian genocide in modern day turkey as excuse that no one would really care about the jews as proof he was a bad man.

[Adios]

This makes my head hurt.

The Armenian massacre happened 95 years ago.  And most of us aren't posting from Istanbul.  I'm not sure what your point is.

You could make a better comparison with the fate of the American Indians, but I still don't see how that makes the lampshade thing okay.  

I mean, other than your hatred of Jews, I don't see any point to your posts on the subject at all.

It's simple, really. 

Yatto hates Israel, so nothing that happened to Jews counts.

I wouldn't compare a holy relic with a Nazi genocidal artifact...

Both are relics, just the other one is unholy or demonic

Terrible human behavior has nothing to do with "demons" or "holiness".

Especially if it happened to Jews.  Then it's just, you know, business as usual.

Were the commandant and his wife were executed for the lampshade, or for something else?

Embezzlement I believe, of all things.

[Adios]

In spite of the many atrocities known to have been committed in the concentration camps, the Nazis did not officially sanction cruelty to the prisoners. All punishments and executions had to be cleared with the main office in Oranienburg. An SS officer named Dr. Konrad Morgen, who was a judge in a local court, was asked by a government official to investigate a possible murder and black market activities in the Buchenwald camp. Col. Koch had been engaging in both, and he was eventually arrested in August 1943 for inciting the murder of two prisoners and for embezzlement. According to The Buchenwald Report, the murder charge against Col. Koch was that he had ordered the execution of hospital orderly Walter Krämer and his assistant, who had treated him for syphilis, so that they would not reveal his secret, but had falsely claimed that they were executed for political reasons.

Considering they heavily used Christian symbolism, psychopath or possessed there was dark forces at work.

I hate monotheists and Israel as well, but i do not think this truly horrible lampshade can be compared to christians storing skulls in a different place.
That may not make any sense to you, Able, but that is just the reality of the situation.
Deal with it.

Yeah. Murdering someone and making a lampshade out of their skin is pretty different from honoring your dead by building shrines from their skulls.

The former is like killing a prostitute and making a wig from her scalp. The latter is like keeping Grandma's ashes in an urn on the mantel.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

For the record, I, too, think Israel is a political abomination and a human rights nightmare.
