This article was pretty good. It talks about the American POWs back in WWII that were sent to a Concentration Camp. It's a long read, but worth it. Have a look.

Yeah, what those guys went through is unimaginable.
Of course, I'm also sick every time I read about what the Jews and other concentration camp inmates went through.
It's the sort of insane groupthink, that large masses of people can sometimes get in their heads that doing this to fellow humans is an A-OK idea, that really makes me despair of the human race.

Its that insane groupthink that allows these people to decide that fellow human being AREN'T fellow human beings. It's as old as man and just as depressing.

There is still a lot of interesting info coming out now that the Soviet archives have been opened. The whole we have Hitlers remains, and Trojan gold stories were pretty suprising. I'm sure there will be a continuous stream of history revision coming as those archives are studied.
