Add to basketGenocide is complicated and messy and it requires the efforts of many people, some willing some not.
Find your victims - not easy without the help of the locals. Transport them in horrible conditions, steal their few belongings, (you have already taken their homes and businesses) then within a few hours of arriving, hungry, and traumatized, you kill them. Of course they were not really human and they did not feel pain, or so you had been told,and it was your duty to remove them from society.
However some still had value due to their beauty or strength but as they would all soon die why not use them first and that is what the Germans and their collaborators did frequently.
But someone had to help with the gassings and for the out of town killings, fill in graves that the victims had already dug for themselves.It was a busy life for a Sonderkommando and for most a short one. For the gassings they would help the unsuspecting victims undress with the promise of a hot shower before leading them into the gas chamber. Later they would remove the bodies and clean up the mess so that the next group would not be 'spooked'.
Only people like Carlo new of these and other attrocities so they were kept away from others in the camps.He would definitly have been killed if fate had not intervened so perhaps he really was the last Sonderkommando.
This is his story and he makes some outragious statements. Was he a canibal and did he together with his mates really save the world?
The last Sonderkommando is not for the squeemish or sensative reader but if you want to understand how ignorance, stupidity and hatred can turn millions of supposedly intelligent human beings into heartless monsters then read this
Stan Farrell was born in Birmingham England during WW11 when Germany was trying to bomb England into submission. His father was in the airforce and his mother worked in an ammunition factory.As a tiny baby with the constant threat of poisonous gasses being used, Stan would be put into a 'baby helmet' which was a small fully enclosed gas mask.His mother wearing an adult version would then take him into their shelter as the bombs exploded nearby. At fifteen he joined the Merchant Navy before emigrating to South Africa in 1958. A series of jobs followed including working on a gold mine.He married and had three children two boys and a girl.
Seeing the threat to wildlife and the possible extinction of some species he decided to breed crocodiles so he moved his family to a 400 acre pineaple farm near the coast.People wanted to see these creatures so having included snakes and other reptiles a tourist attraction was created.
In the early 1900'sviolence in S.A.especialy towards the farmers became a regular thing so the family moved to Canada;
Whilst visiting his son in Calgary Stan met Bob (Jack in the story) who told him about a man who claimed to have been the last Sonderkommando. and he had his tapes and notes. Having suggested that Stan examine these and if convinced perhaps he should write a novel.
