	The Holocaust - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Early elements of the Holocaust include the Kristallnacht pogrom and the T-4 Euthanasia Program, progressing to the later use of killing squads and extermination camps in a massive and centrally organized effort to exterminate every possible member of the populations targeted by the Nazis.
		The Holocaust was justified by claiming that the victims were Untermenschen, i.e., 'underlings' or 'subhumans', who were seen as both biologically inferior and (in the case of Jews) a potential challenge to the superiority of the 'Aryans'.
		Gay (homosexual) men were also targets of the Holocaust, as homosexuality was deemed incompatible with Nazism because of their failure to reproduce the "master race." This was combined with homophobia and the belief among the Nazis that homosexuality could be contagious.

	Respectful Insolence (a.k.a. "Orac Knows"): 60 years ago today: The liberation of Buchenwald
		Many of the surviving prisoners remaining in March 1945 were evacuated east as part of a series of "death marches" that the SS undertook as the Allieds advanced into Germany.
		Buchenwald was one of the places where the Nazi philosphy of destroying its enemies through overwork in service of the war machine was implemented." All the while, life was not unpleasant for the SS running the camp, who enjoyed a zoo, a riding hall and a brothel.
		Since then, besides being the very vision of the sadistic female prison matron and proving that women are just as capable of cruelty and murder as men, she has also unfortunately served as the inspiration for disgustingly bad campy movies, like Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS.
