All of those innocent souls who endured so much - terror, torment, and death.

This is very hard to watch, but so important.

Which was worse - the torture of the daily struggles - or the complete escape from it? While this was an ultimate example of hate for fellow human beings - it still goes on in lesser forms to this very day.

My great Uncle, just 18 years old, was tortured in a German prison camp - he was captured within days of getting over there, they believe he died within a few months. Probably death was his freedom, but just as with the millions of others, (though most of them were tortured much, much longer) I'm sure he had dreams of escaping it, somehow.

Yes, it does go on to this day - I just read a horrible story of it in Uzbekistan that's made me a bit ill. And all over the world - the hatred human beings have for one another is hard for me to even imagine.

Hard to imagine enduring such torture and death. I'd like to present this video to "Pastor" Worley "clockwork-orange" style, so he cannot just shut his eyes to the horrors he is suggesting for human beings that don't past muster of his moral standards.
