Genocide During and After the Holocaust

"Here, lads, we live by the law of the taiga. But even here people manage to live. D’you know who are the ones the camps finish off? Those who lick other men’s left-overs, those who set store by the doctors, and those who peach on their mates."

~Alexander Solzhenitsyn

"The concentration camps, by making death itself anonymous (making it impossible to find out whether a prisoner is dead or alive), robbed death of its meaning as the end of a fulfilled life. In a sense they took away the individual’s own death, proving that henceforth nothing belonged to him and he belonged to no one. His death merely set a seal on the fact that he had never existed."

~Hannah Arendt

Hitler was not the only dictator to use Concentration Camps to his advantage.

The Soviet Union also had used concentration since 1919, long before Nazi's. Stalin used them extensively in the 1930s and after World War II, to place political dissidents, Russian and East European citizens who disagreed with him or were religious protesters, and others to work in the camps. During Stalin's reign, millions of people died in hundreds of concentration camps spread from Eastern Europe to far reaches of Siberia.
