Germany – A former Auschwitz guard being tried on 300,000 counts of accessory to murder has testified that it was clear to him Jews were not expected to leave the camp in Nazi-occupied Poland alive.

“I couldn’t imagine that” happening, former SS Sgt. Oskar Groening told the Lueneburg state court on Thursday during the third day of his trial, the dpa news agency reported.
The 93-year-old’s answer came in response to a question from attorneys representing Auschwitz survivors who have joined the trial as co-plaintiffs, as allowed under German law.
Pleas are not entered in the German system. On the first day of his trial Tuesday, Groening acknowledged sharing in “moral guilt” but said the court will have to determine if he is legally guilty.
Yemach shemo v’zichro zull er gein in drerd
Well guess what you Nazi pieve of drek. My father was in Auschwitz twice. The Nazis sent him to Wittemberg cause they couldn’t kill him. In Wittemberg Hashem protected him again and they sent him back to Auschwitz, where the Nazis couldn’t believe he had survived. They then sent him to Buchenwald where again Hashem watched over him and bh he lived. WE WON!!!!!!!
At least he’s open about his hatred. I’d rather face an open Jew-hater than someone who couches his hatred in platitudes and rhetoric.
#2 . No we didn’t win at all. Your father merely stayed alive. He didn’t win nor did the other 6 million, or even those others who survived. Even the next generation didn’t win.
Yes – he’s saying WE won in the name of Klal Yisroel. Look at what’s going on in the Yiddishe velt – Hundreds of Thousands yiddishe yungeleit, balabatim, bochurim, kinderlech, meidelech learning the Torah and keeping Mitzvos when the nazis ym”s wanted to annihilate all of this.
Okay, so he could have expressed himself better. Now let’s all get off his case.
Yet every Yid that survived, and every child born, is definitely a personal and collective win against the Nazis that wish us all dead.
Am Yisroel Chai!
This is scary.
They sat there eating their meals and never had regard for their fellow country-men.
The thought that their fame was their murder record is like imagining that needs were blood and guilt.
This sheds light on the holocaust that even the guards contemplated the have-not status of their imposed death sentences of hate.
Fear and remorse were the whole world.
Terror is not a religion.
Never again.
I’m sorry naysayers. The Nazis tried to kill out Klal Yisroel. Yes we tragically lost 6 million Jews. Polish Jewry was decimated. But come to Boro Park, Flatbush, Williamsburg. See all the shuls, yeshivas, Bais Yakovs, Look at all the yeshivos in such odd places as Edison, Passaic, Woodbury. Lakewood with dozens of yeshivas and the huge BMG with thousands learning Torah day and night. Every yeshiva is a monument to the eternity of Klal Yisroel. Yes we lost 6 million Jews. But Klal Yisroel WON. We are here and now and alive and well and growing. This isn’t about one Jew, my father. This is about me and my children and grandchildren, and my friends and friends and friends. Each one of the survivors’ offspring is living proof that Klal Yisroel won. And today is Yom Hatzmaut. Another living proof that we won. The Romans are gone, the Cossacks are gone, Russia is over, the CRusades are over. And Klal Yisroel is here. WE WON.
Yes Obama. Though anyone with hand a brain sees his hated so clearly
