@Ironside, you make no sense lol
"POLISH death camps" term used by "Parade Magazine" Anti-Polish Bigots
look you don't get it, fine, just give up and stop trying to understand or try harder, stop commenting on things I said if you are not able to get their meaning, that is only fair.
@Ironside, it's not that I don't understand "things", it's just your comments are often simply babble without much sense like that post #241.
GG wasn't a death camp for Poles. Comparing GG to places like Auschwitz-Birkenau, Sobibor, Treblinka, Majdanek, etc. is delusional.

Don't get me wrong, the Nazi occupation in Poland was very cruel and they killed many non-Jewish Poles and used them as slave labour:

But you can't possibly say that GG was a death camp, if you know what death camps were like and what was going on in those camps. That's simply going too far.

Hear, hear Paulina! Good show, girl.
Especially Treblinka and Sobibor were explicitly "extermination camps", whereupon ALL Jews exclusively who entered were expected to die.
Such was not the case necessarily with Auschwitz and Majdanek. Although surely a bulk of those tortured undoubtedly wished they would die, the latter were principally "concentration" camps, where prisoners were indeed forced to endure unspeakably harsh conditions, yet were allowed to survive, in so far as their bodies could hold out!

Auschwitz
Remember that Auschwitz was a large complex of camps. I think 7 of them. Auschwitz II at Birkenau (the one with the famous watchtower) was within walking distance of Auschwitz I (the former Austro-Hungarian barracks where the 'arbeit macht free' sign is) and was by far the largest of them. It wasn't a labour camp, it was a death camp, existing only to kill as many people as possible on a vast scale.
That's true.
Furthermore, it's crucial that a sharp distinction is maintained between death camp, concentration camp, and internment camp!

Who are you to talk? If you are a scholar and a specialist in that field, that far enough. If you are anything else you in no position to make claims, demands or expect to be taken seriusly when try to tell people what to do and what to think. Buzz off!
I will think and say what I want, and if chose to forget about all that, it is my choice.
Funny you think you have say in that....are you on meds?
Who am I to talk??! I might well ask you the same question, even though assured of not getting the same answer!
Quite certain you understood my post? Shall I translate it for you?
