Mar. 17th, 2004 11:59 pmI´m reading a quite horrendous book right now. It´s a drama written by Peter Weiss. The title is "Ermittlung". It´s... Well, it´s about the KZ Auschwitz. Don´t know the name in English, but it´s the camp where doctor Mengele worked on his medical experiments on humans during WW2. I get nauseated just by reading it. One can´t even imagine that people could be able to do something like that to other people. Peter Weiss wrote this drama after the processes with the doctors and guards from Auschwitz in 1965 and used authentic documents from the process. The way the Nazi used gas to kill thousands and thousands of people. How they gave the prisoners injections of phenol directly into their hearts to kill them. The medical experiments on women so that they wouldn´t be able to have children. It makes me so sick. There was said that one of the guards killed over 16 000 people during the 4 years he was there. 16 000 with his own hands!!! Oh god. Excuse me while I run to puke.
