Another Nazi link. This one is infinitely more disturbing than yesterday's, about an album of daily life off-duty at Auschwitz for the guards, who are seem basically hanging out and being ordinary people.

If you know me at all, you know I have a fascination with certitude and the seeming ordinariness of monsters. It's chilling, really.

Hah! Am I a horrible person for thinking that part was kind of funny? I think Germany had to kind of collectively pretend the whole thing Never Happened to function after the war.
