Radicalization of the genocide

At the same time as massacres were being perpetrated in the Occupied territories, the Sonderkommandos and Einsatzkommandos continued their progress at the Front killing more and more systematically in Eastern Ukraine.

The radicalization of the Jewish massacre is clearly visible when one looks at the rise in execution figures. In the Zhytomir region, for example, 3 000 Jews were assassinated in July, 1941, another 10 000 in August and 27 000 in September. In recently conquered regions, massacres were immediately perpetrated on an enormous scale. In urban areas, over 10 000 victims often lost their lives, such as in Babi Yar (33 000).

Khrouchtchev assigned the Crimea to Ukraine at the outcome of the Second World War. At the time of the German invasion, it was an autonomous Soviet Republic, where roughly 65 000 Jews lived. When the Germans conquered the region, early November 1941, about 35 000 Jews turned to the East for refuge. About 8 000 Jews had been mobilized in the Red Army. The Germans therefore found the remaining 23 000 Jews still there, and quickly made them into the next victims of the genocidal machine, which was soon to be fully operational in the Soviet territories. Execution units scoured the countryside looking for Jews who may have escaped their grasp. Between mid-December and mid-January, the Nazis began to experiment with gassing vans as well.

Execution commando personnel quickly became psychologically exhausted by the more and more systematic massacres they were forced to commit. By the end of 1941, when the decision to kill all Jews in occupied Europe was taken, gas chambers were installed and perfected in the extermination centers located in Poland. But, in Ukraine, as in the rest of the Soviet Union, Nazi Reich wasn't able to do the same due to the proximity of the Front. More often than not, the railways were inadequate for the deportation of Jews towards extermination centers in Poland, which is why the ""Holocaust by bullets" continued in Ukraine until the end of the country's occupation by the Wehrmacht, early 1944. Just 20% of Ukrainian Jews were deported to Belzec, Sobibor and Auschwitz. The remaining 80% were killed by SS commando or their auxiliaries.

Nearly every Jew who did not manage to flee was killed in the space of two and a half years, between June, 1941 and December, 1943.

According to Ukrainian historian, Alexandre Kruglov: 500 000 persons were exterminated in 1941, over 700 000 in 1942, and 200 000 in 1943 before the Wehrmacht’s retreat in 1944. Just 20% of Ukrainian Jews were deported to Belzec, Sobibor and Auschwitz. The remaining 80% were killed by SS commando or their auxiliaries. One could say that about a third of Ukrainian Jews escaped the genocide, which means on the other hand that about one million, five hundred thousand were massacred.

The first Revisionism, by the Nazis themselves

The example of Subcarpathian Ukraine reveals how the Nazis assassinated or had the Jews assassinated as long as they were in control of part of the country. However, at the defeat of Stalingrad, retreat was envisaged and, along with it, came the necessity to erase all traces of their crime. The Nazis were the first Revisionists. The SS called on the commandos, commanded by Paul Blobel

(former head of the Einsatzkommando 4a), and regrouped under the camouflage name « Operation 1005 », to find the massacre sites and make the victims' corpses disappear. But the sites were so numerous that they couldn't all be found again before the arrival of the Red Army. The killings had not only been performed by the Einsatzgruppen, but also by the Ordnungspolizei, different Waffen SS units and the Wehrmacht. The NKVD Commissions, following the Red Army, were the first to supply systematic information on the genocide of the Jewish population.

The Nazis were unable, also, to make every trace and archive disappear. So many of the Einsatzgruppen reports had been distributed that it was impossible to destroy them all. The British had, since the Summer of 1941, intercepted transmissions by the Ordnungspolizei. These documents, as well as the trials in the Federal Republic of Germany from the end of the 1950's onwards, against former policemen, were the start of Patrick Desbois and the Yahad team's inquiries to localize the common graves of the "Holocaust by bullets".

Your family doesn't know how much difficulties and pressure you go through in your daily life or in your job

- Your family doesn't know how much difficulties and pressure you go through in your daily life or in your job. - And your work doesn't know the circumstances of your life and your home. - Your colleagues, your friends, and loved ones will not understand the size of the new and old responsibilities that are above you. - And your partner is always expecting unconditional love and support from you, he/she wont understand the amount of pressure you go through no matter how much you talk and explain to him/her. No one will understand what you're really going through and they most likely don't appreciate efforts.

GEORGE SEGAL: THE HOLOCAUST, 1984.

GEORGE SEGAL: THE HOLOCAUST , 1984 . Was the Holocaust “special”? George Segal’s extraordinary memorial proposes a line of inquiry strikingly different from the familiar exercise—at once useless and obscene—of comparing the Nazi murder machine to other mass exterminations in order to establish a hierarchy of historical horrors. Appropriately, the artist’s investigation takes the form of a perceptual itinerary: To see his work would seem to involve entering a private and protected area within a public space. The eleven figures in Segal’s tableau, surrounded on three sides by a poured-concrete palisade, have been installed on the summit of a slope in Lincoln Park in San Francisco, slightly below a parking area and just to the side of a road leading to the California Palace of the Legion of Honor. From the road we can see only a solitary standing figure. The work in its entirety is usually first viewed from the walkway above, a position from which, however, the whole group, though...

Before refrigerators existed, people would preserve products that needed to be kept cold, such as milk, by putting frogs in them.

Before refrigerators existed, people would preserve products that needed to be kept cold, such as milk, by putting frogs in them. In the past, each community had its own method of preservation. The ancient Russian and Finnish communities found a magnificent and very clever solution to this milk preservation: Throwing brown frogs called 'Rana temporaria' into milk... A scientific study conducted in 2013 proved that this method worked. It was revealed that proteins such as Brevinin 1Tb synthesized from the skins of frogs (and other amphibians) restricted the life of some bacteria. Thus, the Russians and Finns discovered, albeit through trial and error, that they could fight bacteria by adding proteins produced from the skins of frogs to their milk.

Bob Marley was once asked if there was a perfect woman. He replied: Who cares about perfection?

Bob Marley was once asked if there was a perfect woman. He replied: Who cares about perfection? Even the moon is not perfect, it is full of craters. The sea is incredibly beautiful, but salty and dark in the depths. The sky is always infinite, but often cloudy. So, everything that is beautiful isn't perfect, it's special. Therefore, every woman can be special to someone. Stop being "perfect", but try to be free and live, doing what you love, not wanting to impress others!

18 COSTLY MISTAKES THAT HUSBANDS MAKE

18 COSTLY MISTAKES THAT HUSBANDS MAKE 1. WORKING SO HARD AT YOUR JOB/BUSINESS BUT NOT IN YOUR MARRIAGE Men, your company, your career, and your business are growing and flourishing because you lead them; your marriage will grow and flourish when you lead it and dedicate time to it. 2. THINKING THAT FLIRTING WITH OTHER WOMEN IS NOT CHEATING You may not physically sleep with other women, but emotionally cheating is also unfaithfulness. Receiving nude images and having phone intimacy with other women is also cheating. Talking suggestively and attracting temptations is also cheating. If you are a flirt, flirt with your wife. If you claim your wife is too rigid, treat her well, and she will respond to your kinky ways. She also wants intimate pleasure and to feel wanted. 3. BEING GENEROUS OUTSIDE AND STINGY AT HOME Don't be the husband who quickly says yes when other people ask for help, for your time and your money, but stingy to your wife and child/children. Your family comes first. Do...

So many woman are bought and blinded by materialistic things, yet miss the small little gestures that mon...
