Young Stutthof secretary forces us to ask many questions

This is an interesting story.

The now-96-year-old woman worked as a secretary at Stutthof concentration camp in occupied Poland. She was 18 at the time.

Does it mean that anyone who works at any level in an organisation that perpetrates wrongdoing plays a part in that wrongdoing.

This girl was a low-level secretary.

Kurt Kiesinger was West German chancellor, who served in a senior position in the Nazi propaganda department under Joseph Goebbels.

How many Nazi judges served as judges in West Germany?

How many priests, who supported Hitler, remained in ministry in West Germany?

What about the teachers who began every class with Heil Hitler, did they all stop teaching in 1945?

But it is always interesting how people owe allegiance and work for evil systems and people of the dark.

When one experiences wrongdoing and malpractice and observes those who slink in under the darkness, it is easy to understand how Hitler did what he did.

We must never forget.
