Today we remember those awful years.
Not so much for the fact that numberless people were deported, killed, tortured.
But above all because so many of their so-called friends and neighbours betrayed them and denounced them to German Officers and to the resident collaborators.
A Jewish friend of mine, when asked how he felt about this Remembrance Day, said he didn't share the necessity of a special day .
He said there were not only 6 millions victims but 22 millions as the war claimed so many other lives: in addition to Jews, there were resistants, homosexuals, and so many others that did not fit into the idea of the Übermensch.
In his answer, I found a great generosity and humanity.
