I watched some 60 Minutes segments on these labour camps. They seemed as bad, if not worse, than the death camps the Nazi's kept the Jews in. People visit Auschwitz and say "I can't believe that humans actually treated other humans like this" completely unaware that similar camps exist TODAY. This should be front page news and become common knowledge, but most people don't know. Or perhaps we don't want to know.
If the Holocaust was contained within one country and Germany had stayed within its own borders, I'm not sure anyone would have had the guts to invade on humanitarian grounds.
