Feeling weary and ill at ease. Have just watched a prog. on our SBS(Multicultural) TV channel called "Hitler's Holocaust Railways" narrated by Chris Tarrant. It's probably been on TV before, but this was my first sighting and I found it so horrifying that I was almost in tears, even after all these years, being reminded of how the poor souls were shepherded into groups of toddlers (too young to work, therefore to die),; able bodied men and women, to be workers in concentration camps; ill and elderly to die. Interviews with a few survivors only reinforced the horror of it all. I'm not ashamed to admit I was almost in tears by the end and wondering how things might have been in Britain if the Germans had succeeded in crossing the Channel. They would have had no reason to act differently. When the first films were shown after the camps were liberated we were promised that they would be shown repeatedly for ever more and I'm thankful that SBS, which has strong leanings towards European matters appears to be honouring that promise.
Another Hitler prog. is due on SBS later this evening; "Inside Hitler's GI Death Camp" about 390 GI PoWs sent to a concentration camp in Berga, Germany. I've never heard of that before!
I appreciate this is (mostly) before your time and I apologise for unburdening it, but I"m still disturbed by it all.
