I feel horribly vindicated. Three thousand people died who didn't have to die.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
To this day, I do not believe that five million were killed. I consider it technically impossible that could have happened. I do not believe it. I have not received proof of that up until now.
We have to keep in mind that it's not just about the numbers of people who died; it's also the manner which many of these victims met their deaths.
The people and the mindset that killed 3,000 of our fellow citizens on September 11 2001, would have killed not 3,000, but 300,000 if they could have or 3 million or 30 million. We need to do everything we can within our value systems and legal structures to make sure that doesn't happen.
I saw few die of hunger; of eating, a hundred thousand.
Two of my grandparents died in a car crash. Sucks, 'cause they would have lived to a hundred.
By any accepted standard, I have had more than nine lives. I counted them up once, and there were 13 times I almost and maybe should have died.
They said their sufferings were great on the passage, and several of their number had died.
To hear of a thousand deaths in war is terrible, and we 'know' that it is. But as it registers on our hearts, it is not more terrible than one death fully imagined.
One thing we cannot put a number on is the number of casualties because people were never connected to their purpose in life.
The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of millions is a statistic.
