"There are crazy people out there"... Talk about crazy: This women feels no remorse, regret or even little understanding of the unimaginable, intentional, seperbly organized and savaged innihilation of a whole Nation...Well over Six milion innocent souls, were gased, burned,hanged, sodomized... "He had to do it ", she sais...And then, Bigitte is surprized, that there are so many survivors..To me she sounds regretful to such fact... But she is not a bigoted nazi, or NO ! Where have I seen this "movie" before?...
3. It never ends
David Supper + partn ,   Nottingham UK   (09.10.13)
Well Brigitte welcome to the Jewish ecperience. You have only experienced this for 60 odd years, we Jews have had the hatred for thousands of years. I think you should be more humble, look how well your (Jewish) employers treated you. Your father was beyond the pale, and got his just desserts. Germans have a lot to answer for and they should be aware of their past and ashamed.

NEVER!
6. The deap hate of the Nazis live on.
AlbertoGA ,   St. George,USA   (09.10.13)
If they are Germans, Syrians, Iranians or others the result is the same. The peril Israel face at this time and minutes to come is that proof.
7. To brush off the Holocaust is disgusting
Laila ,   Montreal, Canada   (09.10.13)
To brush off the Holocaust is disgusting. That's why I cannot forgive her.
8. Controversy?
observer ,   usa   (09.10.13)
There can be no legitimate controversy over the events commonly and collectively known as "the holocaust", so very well documented by the perpetrators; those who would promulgate such false controversy impeach their own credibility completely.
9. #4
Rhonda ,   Chicago, USA   (09.10.13)
That is exactly what I was going to write. In her own way, she's pretty despicable. It's all about her. While she didn't murder anyone she certainly doesn't feel any empathy for the victims. There was a little film made awhile back, don't recall even the name of it. It featured the adult daughter of the Nazi SS commander in charge of the camp featured in Schindler's List. He was the personification of evil. IF I am recalling correctly, she had deep feelings about the awful and despicable deeds of her father- I know I'll recall his name after I hit "send" here. It showed her meeting with one of the camp's survivors. It was a very interesting film.

Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.10.13)
I guess no one ever bothered to tell her that one-third of the Jewish population of this planet perished during World War II. No one EVER has to do anything. There are things I would refuse to do, even if it means my death. Would that the German people had felt similarly. I would cheerfully end this German whore's life. Who wouldn't?
11. it never ends - and their worm will never die
omniscient ,   jslm   (09.10.13)
The genuinely evil will never cease suffering. Physical death doesn't bring escape. Its a shame that most people don't KNOW (as opposed to believe) that God and his judgement truly exist. Its incredible how much different people would behave if they KNEW FOR CERTAIN that this sickening world was a trick. As for this monsters daughter ...... she can't escape - no one can. I know. I really do.
12. Tens of millions systematically murdered, not just Jews

13. Jews respect German People!
Rabbi Chaim ,   NY, USA   (09.10.13)
Jews lived in Germany for 2,000 years. Except for medieval episodes & 13 years of nazi rule, they learned, shared & prospered. Jews admire Germans for discipline, hard work ethics, arts & sciences. In addition, Germany helped Israel in the time of need. German People take responsibility for nazi genocide.
14. Dad was taking state salaries, Rotschild was taking marging.
Miron ,   USA   (09.10.13)
As it turns out, murdering Jewish people was a very profitable Jewish business.
15. To Germans reading this
Gil ,   Tel Aviv   (09.10.13)
As a Jew living in Israel, I've seen many good German people visit, express remorse and genuine support for my country. Germans today including this woman should not be held responsible for deeds they did not commit (even despite her claim about number of Jews killed). That is wrong and I object to some of the comments here (Sarah B you are a disgrace). So much has changed in Germany today yes it's one of Israel's main allies. I say lets salute them for that!
16. Operation Paperclip
Jake B. ,   Cleveland, OH   (09.10.13)
Look it up on Google. According to documents declassified in 2001, the US took in thousands of ex-Nazis and their families after the war.Many of them were war criminals but so long as they could help stem the rise of Communism, all was OK according to the OSS. Hoss's daughter's story is more prevalent than most people would want to believe, especially among the offspring of Op.Paperclip 'recruits' as well as in current day Germany. Nearly every single town in Germany has a cornerstone commemorating the names of what they refer to as the 'fallen heroes 1939-1945'. No distinction is ever made between where they served, whether it was in the Wehrmacht (as many older German's perceived as the 'good' people's army), or the SS or the Gestapo. During my many trips to Germany and conversations with hundreds of people, I never encountered a single person who admitted that they knew about the atrocities which were going on. Even worse, many Germans under 40 years old whom I spoke with regarding the Holocaust were quick to equate the Israel-Palestinian conflict with Nazi atrocities.

If she's worried about and scared of the Washington Jews, why doesn't she go back to the Fatherland where there aren't nearly as many Jews as there used to be?

I have been reading your posts and I must conclude that you have lost your mind, if you ever had one.
21. #12&14:I propose you two marry each other(it's OK now), then
tom ,   tel aviv   (09.10.13)
adopt a muslim child and read him Mein Kampf as bed-stories. Then you can introduce Protocols of Elders of Zion as required reading. Whatever you do: DON'T attempt to have offspring bearing your own DNA!!!
22. Nazi Hunters
Zechariah   (09.10.13)
One of Ben Gurions greatest Flaws was his failure to help hunt down nazis Post War .Eichman and Mengele escaped its also Disappointing Begin and the Irgun were not more active ,The Disgust at Islam and the British refusing to let in One hundred Thousand Holocaust survivors Turned Attitudes.
23. to gil #15 - I beg to differ with you - Sarah B is not a
miri ,   israel   (09.10.13)
disgrace. She sees this woman in the proper light. May she rot in hell with her father. As for the Germans, my feelings are mixed - I find it extremely hard to forgive and will never forget. As for the Jews who have returned to Germany, I say "How could you ?"

Avital ,   Israel/USA   (09.10.13)
You were never in a situation remotely similar as that of the people living at the time so I'd suggest you cut back a little on the armchair heroics and shameless self-promoting (or is it lying?) you usually pepper your rants with. You are a caricature, even for a right-wing fanatic. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to find out you in fact suffer from a severe form of Narcissistic personality disorder. You more or less display every sign pointing in that direction. Oh, and one more thing, I actually am educated and quite eloquent enough to make myself understood even to clinical cases such as yourself. English isn't my first language, Hebrew is, unlike you, I might add.
25. 22 See quote from Wikipedia below
Jake B. ,   Cleveland, OH   (09.10.13)
"Secret German documents made available in 2011 to the German periodical Der Spiegel indicate that the Adenauer government was in a panic after the arrest of Eichmann. There was fear that a trial would highlight a number of high-level government officials who had served the Nazis, particularly Hans Globke, who was the Chancellery Chief of Staff and a close advisor to Chancellor Adenauer. An agent from the German Intelligence Service, Rolf Vogel, was sent to the trial in the guise of a reporter for the German newspaper Deutsche Zeitung. Vogel communicated with the Israeli prosecutors, providing them with exonerative material on Globke and trying to influence them to keep the trial focussed on Eichmann. Vogel even arranged a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, with whom he expressed the German concern. Vogel came away with the impression that the names of people like Globke would not be raised at the trial. At the same time, negotiations for a large arms purchase by Israel from the Federal Republic of Germany were taking place. In the end, no mention was made by the prosecution during the trial of former Nazis in the present German government. In 1962, military aid worth some 240 million DM was approved by the German government."

Whatever he might have been to others to his daughter he was the nicest man in the world. He probably gave her lots of presents that once belonged to Jewish children he had killed. As for the bit about torture non of the top Nazis admitted to committing crimes and he is no different to the others. It's also understandable she wonders how there can be so many survivors if so many were killed. She hears about statistics but there are still plenty who did survive so she thinks if so many were killed like they say then how do they explain so many survived, she doesn't get the point that had the war not ended these survivors would not have survived. To her he was just a loving father and she doesn't want to believe all the stories she hears about him.
29. To Sarah @ 10
Jennie ,   Israel/US   (09.11.13)
Thank you Sarah, for your valuable input...It makes me sick to read the posts of 13, 14 and 15, : their blind delusional lesftist demagogy...They can only fool people of their own limited caliber... I am a daughter of Aushcwitz survivor parents...The horrible story of my Family has forever shaped my destiny and my views of the world, we live in...And I am proud, we have not become bitter, but instead we have become proud and accomplished peace loving people, who value and cherish life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.... Thank You for your valuable input and keep on posting...We need you on this board....
