This is pretty harrowing, so you'll probably want to wait to read this until it won't spoil your Christmas dinner. But after watching the films and reading the articles - and Kurt Gerstein's own version of events - I felt that a summary should be my Christmas tribute to some people I admire very much.
And there is a song, way down at the bottom of the page, which is actually associated with Christmas time.

Good work and the tribute you hoped it would be. I had no idea of who these people were they deserve to be remembered.
Well done

This is a sobering article. Although I know the facts of the Holocaust well enough, it is still difficult to read the detailed accounts of the suffering of so many men, women and children.
I've wondered whether the Allies were totally cynical about their knowledge of the Holocaust. After all, the effort of building and staffing the camps must have occupied up a large number of German officers and men, who might otherwise have been fighting.
I don't think I have any useful crits.

Thanks for the response, MVP.
And yes, I know it's hard to read. That's why I felt I had to do the translation, excerpts, and gloss. Sooner or later, we need to sit and down and think about reasons for the outside world's actions - or lack thereof. We owe it to the millions who died.

Sadly neglected, but I've no more to add.
