Thus, it is equally right to say that groups targeted by the Nazi or their accomplices, killed or treated in ways that catapulted their deaths are the victims ( ...

If God is Good, Why is there Evil?

Hoess introduced Zyklon-B (Cyclone-B) gas to Auschwitz in 1941, mainly because he thought it would be the most efficient method of mass killing, and his camp became the largest ‘customer’ for this cyanide gas, which had ...
