1. minor detail

You talk about a visit to an extermination camp, and then you reveal that you mean Dachau. This was in fact just a "normal" concentration camp, unlike Auschwitz etc which really were "extermination camps". In Dachau people were "just" imprisoned, tortured, used for medical experiments etc. All parts of the same evil system, but still the term "extermination camp" should be applied correctly, or it might lose some of its deserved sinister ring.
2. True love story...
Mark Shroeder ,   Germany   (01.26.14)
Regardless whether the man was evil or not. The story above is about real love.... Something that Sarah B knows nothing about.
3. I'd love to think we won't see another Holocaust
Norbus ,   JERUSALEM   (01.26.14)
Release of Himmler's private letters make me long to believe we will not see another Holocaust But that is only wishful thinking. A poisonous campaign continuous since the 1941 Berlin plan made for an economic conquest of Europe as plan B to accomplish all the Fuhrer's Agenda Angela Merkel, latest leader in charge dominates the EU. Germany since 1946 have been driving FUEV a unit of Top Nazis to accomplish mission and have infiltrated the UN financed by the German Foreign Ministry Germany has creatred a surrogate to finish the Job for them. Angela Merkel could if she chose stop the EU going for the Jewish Jugular. Even if she were to agree, the EU Surrogate is blinded with hate and seemingly unstoppable given the defection of the Obama's Administration.

Dear Norbus I suggest you go and see a doctor. It sounds quite serious.
6. There's a special place in Gehenom
Koose E Mack ,   NY USA   (01.26.14)
for Nazis and Jew Haters. As for today's Germany...there are still Neo Nazis and Anti Semites around; but they are definitively a minority. Most Germans I have met are staunch supporters of Israel and are very sensitive to Holocaust Issues.
7. To #2
Canadian lawyer ,   Toronto, Canada   (01.26.14)
What a heartwarming love story between two monsters ! #2 (you don't deserve to be referred to by name): you are a total psychopath.

I suggest you do a web search for "fastest-growing Jewish community in the world". You might be surprised.
9. Related?
Devorah   (01.26.14)
If you shaved Ashton's head and put round glasses, a hat and a 'stash on her, she would almost be a dead ringer for Himmler.
10. Love stories Mark # 3 ?
Arnold-Canada ,   Montreal   (01.26.14)
I care not to examine the German telephone book but I just wonder how many children born out of the "love" of nazis bear their father's surnames. Hitler was probably aesexual so no offspring but who has the nerve to carry on the names such as himmler, goering, eichman?
11. Satanic evil...
(01.26.14)
Remains in the world today; man's inhumanity against man, until the day when all evil will be cast into the Lake of Fire, for eternity!

14. What a cute family
Ezra ,   San Diego   (01.26.14)
He had a double-life. Family man, and mass murderer.
15. TO THE VILE ONE @#2
Rob ,   Orangevale USA   (01.26.14)
You have obviously slipped away from your nurses or babysitter. You must have a secret(not anymore) crush on the wise Sarah B. otherwise you would not dream so vividly of her. She is a giant and you are a worm. Go back in the house lest someone hear you make your hideous sounds and commit you back to the institution. Go away. Nobody loves you. Understandable. Shalom Israel, rob
16. No.2, I can see this story just touches your heart.
Rich ,   Toronto, Canada   (01.26.14)
May you follow the way of your evil brother Himmler and get everything you deserve.
17. Little man himmler in HELL. Kisses.
ASTRONAUT ,   SC, USA   (01.26.14)
May you burn for eternity.
18. #2 True Lies
Benji ,   US   (01.26.14)
While "Heini" was writing love letters to his self-described "evil" wife, he was screwing his secretary and living a double life. He had two children with his mistress and lived apart from his wife.
19. Love the Sinner hate the Sin
Yechiel HaMashiach   (01.26.14)
Those who curse you bless them, Pray for the wicked. Love your friend like yourself. Yea even the outcast. Even the villain. Be a friend to all men. Yea even your enemies. Turn your cheek to the smiter. Your friend Mashiach
20. Dachau - not extermination camp
Magnus F ,   Oslo, Norway   (04.01.14)
Very good point made by Chris - the concentration camp Gudrun (the daughter) described is NOT an extermination camp. Very sloppy journalism to confuse these different things. Concentration camps, albeit very horrid places, was not intentionally murder camps. In fact, these existed many other places, and still do (i.e. North Korea). I also find it questionable to describe Gudruns remarks, as quoted here, as more algid (chilly). Nothing there implies that she has seen the worst parts of the Dachau camp. Quite possibly she only saw a lot of prisoners and no torture or death. Hard for a young girl to question why they were there, and what went on. Of course, the fact that children were indoctrinated with the nazi propaganda IS very disturbing. Still, if she just sees a big prison, it isn't that difficult to imagine most kids would be a bit proud of their daddy, like she was
