"these men believe Laws are like ice cream, easily melted"...
Edited on Sun Jan-29-06 10:26 PM by hopeisaplace
This is a line from a movie I'm currently watching "Conspiracy" on the History Channel -
(movie about one of the most secret meetings the German Officials
held in 1942..where only one document about this meeting has survived
in history...all other documents were destroyed - in this meeting they
discussed the extermination of the jewish people held in their camps..at this point in
the movie they are discussing how to gather people in the chambers as if to take
a shower, and to be gassed. It's so sickening to watch in movie format...words can't describe this time in history. There are no words. Two other hard to watch movies, are
Schindler's List and Sophie's Choice..in fact after watching Sophie's Choice once, I
have never been able to watch it again, and never plan to watch it again.


edit: spelling, typo

1. Conspiracy is an excellent movie.
It shows just how far people can go when they're driven by an ideology of domination, unrestricted by ethics. To them they weren't planning to exterminate six million people--they were planning the elimination of a roadblock in front of their glorious empire. They had dehumanized the people they hated until killing them was no more than an acceptable, institutionalized action in the name of their national security.
