    There's a new series, called Annihilation, starting tonight at 10 p.m. on the Yesterday channel.

    To quote:

    New series that tries to explain how Hitler's attack on the Jews was possible. Jews were, for the most part, an assimilated population within Germany, and many considered themselves Germans first and Jews second.

    From their perspective, how could their countrymen suddenly take this lunatic seriously?

    Intriguing historical details and Russian archive footage (released in the 1990's) help to make the story feel horribly fresh.

    I'm sorry I just don't get it. Why is it soldiers spend their life doing whatever it is they believe in and never breath a word yet civvies feel the need to talk about every link to tragedy they ever had.

      That's a bit of a sweeping statement! I've known a lot of soldiers that talked about the tragedies they've seen or experienced and a lot of civvies that were tighter than clams. :)

      Also both who had been POW's in Germany, Burma and Vietnam as well as in the Concentration Camps. Some talk about it and some don't.
