How things were really quite nice at AUSCHWITZ, provided you were not an inmate.



On the same day Hoecker and SS women were snapped enjoying blueberries, records show 150 prisoners arrived at Auschwitz. The SS selected 33 for work and gassed the rest.

The BBC signs off the story with:

Holocaust survivors say they hope the album, while offensive, will remind viewers that the perpetrators of genocide are ordinary people, and act as a warning for future generations.


This doesn't quite seem like Daniel Goldhagen's 'Ordinary Germans' thesis.
