After immigrants are detained by ICE, there are probably records somewhere of who has an attorney, and who is calling family members or an attorney.
For the immigrants who aren’t calling any family or lawyers, the poorest of the poor, people with little to no connection to anyone, who may not even say which country they are from, if the administration were actually trying to kill as many disconnected immigrants as possible in secret, would society know?
For example, if the administration was composed of all types of conservative people, but 30 percent were secretly Nazis or wanted racial genocide, could there be a campaign to not just remove, but kill, immigrants, and the public doesn’t find out?
Lol, no, sorry to say that, but your grandma was a collaborationist and she most certainly knew what was happening, she surely just pretended otherwise to escape judgement.
She was naive. She asked a friend who was about to have an audience with Hitler to tell him about how undersupplied the camp in Minsk is. Because in her mind surely the Führer wouldn’t let these people needlessly suffer. Hitler told the friend not to listen to “those rumors”.
No one is THAT stupid without a significant amount of denial or complicity, and both state imply knowing, deep down, what’s happening. If she called the victims “rapists and murderers”, she simply was a nazi.
She did not call them rapists and murderers. That’s what they told her. That’s the lie they told people outside of the camps to justify any cruelty. In this instance the extended lie was that they were coming from some other “normal” prison and not from the camp.
Ok, my bad, I thought she called them “rapists and murderers”.
I just re-read that. The official story they got was that they were from a Sowjet prison. Not even a German one.
