Sometimes as most people often do, I was thinking about the Holocaust--its constituents, the "feel" of the time, the motivations and value structures that coursed through the various populaces before during and after the world wars (perhaps even the cold war and the modern wars and even how war changed after the Holocaust if at all).

Naturally, the big question usually boils down to "why'd he do it?" seeing as Hitler is one of the rare occasions where open declaration of genocide isn't so palatable. Well actually that's the second biggest question, since the first is usually more along the lines of: "why was the holocaust memorable?"

So gather round the fire, get some popcorn and swap your favorite holocaust conspiracies here!

1) The Holocaust generally differed from the other genocides that have taken place in history, along with continuing genocides which are still thriving like the War on Terrorism. It's not as though people didn't think they weren't killing other people during the Holocaust--just like people deep down at the bottom of their hearts have a feeling that those hundreds of thousands of terrorists that they've been slaughtering. One can see this in the great amount of love and care that they put into the concentration camps, how this passionate cause drove Nazi scientists to do their best (and the rest of the Axis powers and the Allied powered for that matter) as well as the sheer volume of economic effort they invested in their dreams. They just don't make wars like they used to; these days, wars are so impersonal and soldiers don't even know what they're fighting for, who they're fighting for, who they're fighting against--the list goes on, and ultimately instead of battle-hardened soldiers coming back with a triumphant return, you get a bunch of kids who should have stayed in their parent's basement and played Call of Duty 5 or whatever (which they end up doing anyways, what with their lack of useful skills).

War seems to have become something as frivolous as a video game for these kids; hell, these days they go to an office, kill people with remote controlled planes from a air-conditioned room in north dakota, punch out at five and have dinner with the wife and kids no differently than any other white-collar worker. If they aren't even risking their lives why are we paying them these outrageous salaries, they have no other useful skills and should be paid federal minimum wage and be happy with the cushy benefits package they get.

2) Maybe Hitler just didn't like Jews? Maybe he was just really bored? Perhaps this was his artistic legacy that he etched permanently onto the consciousness of the masses, his existential scream at a time when he was desperately flailing for something that would validate his existence. Maybe he had a fetish where he could only come if he was ethically-cleansing jews and faggots and other degenerates. If you think about the Holocaust as Hitler's sole work of art, then perhaps it is one of the most popular works of all time, if not the most beautiful or sophisticated (Hitler was known to be a rather poor artist). Maybe he just wanted that praise that he never got in life from where he most needed it: his parents.
