Nazi's photo album shows life of a top Auschwitz officer | 60 Minutes

Her final words are truly profound! "Man is an animal, all he needs is permission"

9:57 - “The heart keeps working but the soul never forgets”. What a statement.

"We couldn't cry ... This is beyond crying." She is the voice for her family. The voice for them all.

"...it's never stopped.' the most damning last words.

"tears are for normal pain" -- that stopped me in my tracks! What a powerful statement. Great reporting 60 Mins, thank you.

"The heart keeps working, but the soul never forget"😥😢

People don't realize how quickly society would breakdown in a war/catastrophic situation

I can’t wrap my mind around the story of the lady that was 13 teen yrs old. It’s too much to even comprehend that human beings could do such a thing. Sickening

I find truth in this quote "It's happening, it's never stopped".

"All he needs is permission......" - no truer, on point words have been spoken.

Still blows my mind this all took place only 80 years ago

That white haired old woman just told us the meaning of life.

The lack of tears is profound trauma...

As the Reverend Martin Niemoller said, "First they came for the Communists. And I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then the came for the Jews. And I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the Catholics. And I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me. And by then, there was no one left to speak up." All it takes for evil to happen is for good people to do nothing,

Irene’s final statement about Man being the most dangerous animal is true. It also sheds light on our world situation today.

Rebecca from the USHMM is a knowledgeable historian and a very kind woman. She and Ms. Cohen personally handled all the collection of historical documents and photos of my family from Germany that I donated to the museum.

“It’s happening, it has not stopped”

The last few seconds of this clip hold a message for all of us...

I’m watching this video while my 94 year old mother in law is in her room slowly fading away from Parkinson’s. She was separated from her parents in 42 or 43 and never saw them again. She along with her older sister were one of the last groups to leave Düsseldorf. It’s just maddening to see these images of monsters so convinced of their superiority living what looks like a carefree life.

I have an elderly friend who grew up in Germany. She said Hitler acted like he was very concerned for the German citizens and made sure to get people who happened to be out of the country safely back into Germany as the war broke out. She was in another country and was told to take a certain train which she missed. That was lucky, because it was bombed and no one survived. She was a young teen member of the Hilter youth group for girls. Girls were not required to join, but that they were chastized by others if they didn't. During the war, she was assigned the job of cooking and being a nanny at the home of an SS Officer. As the war was coming to a close, she was told by the officer that it was no longer safe for her to be there and it was time for her to go home. She ended up working in a canteen feeding soldiers after that and received several marriage proposals from soldiers from England and the US. An American soldier was the one she said "yes" to and she ended up spending the rest of her life in America. Germany was very torn apart by bombings from the war and so many young men had died in battle that she felt there was nothing left there for her. She took a chance on being a War Bride to someone she barely knew and it ended up being a good choice. She said that they had no idea that the exterminations were going on the the prisoner of war camps.
