28 December 1942 | Prof. Carl Clauberg began his experiments on female prisoners at Auschwitz to develop a non-surgical mass sterilization method.

He made sure that the Fallopian tubes were open & introduced a specially prepared chemical irritant, which caused acute inflammation. This led to the growing together of the tubes & their obstruction.

@auschwitzmuseum Monsters exist among us. We must never allow them to win power, and we must never surrender, if they do, until we remove them.

@IdoAmir This is one of the hardest but most important warnings for us today.

Perpetrators were people who accepted and followed an ideology that made them believe that they are better than others and that rationalized and promoted hatred & evil. It became their everyday live.

They were not monsters. They were people who did horrible things on the behalf of the ideology that they believed in.

The perpetrators thought of themselves as moral people. And this is the scary part of the story.

@auschwitzmuseum Thank you this important description. I'm referring to the evil monsters at the top of the pyramid: Hitler, Putin, Trump, and their high level supporters. The cynical ones who aren't driven by ideology, but by selfish greed for money and power. Those who intentionally lie to their followers, turning regular people into monsters, convincing them they are patriotic freedom fighters, as they send them to commit atrocities in their name.
