(23,651 posts)Really depressing to witness the cruelty inflicted on humans by humans, and the inability to act to stop it early on, especially here in the US
and now fearing that its happening again

(205,847 posts)And part 2 is on Tuesday - checked and there are three parts. I learned a lot, too - but it was also tough to see since we know the history. And this documentary let us know about individual people. Plus, Ken Burns is going to be on with Stephen Colbert tomorrow night - and I always post "political" guests.

(205,847 posts)Since we know the history of what happened - and seeing the people, especially children, made you desperately wish for a different outcome. But I may tune in again tomorrow and will certainly watch parts two and three. Also, Ken Burns is on with Stephen Colbert tomorrow and I'm looking forward to that - great guest!
