Today, I don't have a latin phrase. I don't really know a good one for today, but above all, I've been to a concentration camp today, and I was wondering: who is the fool: Hitler; or the persons (think of Himmler, the boss of the SS, but also all the other nazi's) who followed him. Not many people know Hitler also fought in WWI.
The camp were we had gone to was "kamp vught". It was not a camp like Auzwitch, to kill al the jews, but it was to store them, since all the other camps in Holland (including the ''storage" camps like westerbork) were full. Not only jews were prisoned there, but also ordinary thiefs, killers or other criminals. Over 750 people died in Vught. When I was there, I learnt this story:
A baby was born, I believe its name was Willem. It had been born to early. The camp-commander decided he would do enything to save Willems live. He did. Willem was saved by doctors. One day later, he was transported to Westerbork, and from there to Auswitch to be killed there. The nazi's just wanted to keep the order in that camp. The boy was only saved, to be killed a week later, together with some 1200 childeren. Al the childeren in kamp vught were killed, because the SSers guarding the camp couldn't handle them.
That was it for today, thanks for reading my blog, bye.
