I've got a book called "Commandant of Auschwitz" , It's an Autobiography written by Rudolf Hoess while he was in Krakow before his trial and afterwards before his execution,(it had been suggested to him by a Polish Criminologist who had 13 conversation with Hoess.) , what's truly unbelievable about it,(I can't even think of a better word to describe it),Is how matter of fact he is about what he did - he truly didn't think he did anything wrong ,in fact it comes across how proud he was with the system he developed to process the prisoners through the chambers and then the crematoria , and everything else that was set up to operate the camp.

There is no way in hell i couldever refer tothe soviet army as liberators without a strong irony. But good for those who were saved from a worse fate.
