Goeth's daugher Monika and one of his victims, a young, jewish girl, Helen, he enslaved in his home. It is called 'Inheritance':
http://www.pbs.org/pov/pov2008/inheritance/index.htmlMonika begins Inheritance with a powerfully understated observation that few can make with equal authority: "Every father in a war should think about his children." Born in 1945 and only a year old when Polish authorities hanged Goeth, Monika never knew her father and had little curiosity about him.
And every elected official in this country should think about their citizens and future generations before engaging in the kind of monstrous behavior perpetrated by the Bush administration.
How do people do these unspeakable things to their fellow human beings...terrorists, nazi's, torturers.I don't know if that question will ever be answered. People who can torture and murder others so easily are obviously 'different'. Wars seem to attract them to positions of power, or maybe their governments deliberately use these obviously very sick people when they 'need' them. I wonder how many of them would actually do these awful things if they were not sanctioned by their governments? If it was not in the name of 'patriotism'? The only reason I can think of is that there really is such a thing as pure evil.
Those memos released by Holder require this country to prosecute the perpetrators.
History will not be very forgiving of us for what these people did unless it is clearly demonstrated through prosecution of the perpetrators that we mean it when we say 'we do not torture', as both Bush and Obama have now said in the face of all the evidence to the contrary.
