A programme on German television this evening on the SS was a brutal reminder of what people do and what happens people.
A man who was an officer at Auschwitz was tried in Frankfurt-am-Main in 1964 where he denied all responsibility for what happened at Auschwitz. He argued he worked in a particular 'area' where no-one was murdered or mistreated.
Is it possible he believed that?
At the beginning of the programme an old man admitted that as a 17-year-old with pride he joined the SS. He believed that the Germans were a 'chosen race'.
Two powerful metaphors for Cathoic Ireland.
Truly frightening.
