I don't wanna cause any trouble-just want to say this. Foxby. I'd like to correct you. There WERE children in the concentration camps. I have books and a few stories from survivors to confirm that. If it was just a mistake in information or something, that's fine-it's easily corrected. But the way you said it, so matter-of-factly, was just ignorant and rude. Try to avoid that in the future. Next time you wanna say something like that, make sure you got it right, ok? |

But there were no eight-year-old children in Auschwitz. That part is NOT a mistake. To pass even the first selection, you had to be able to pass for around eighteen (plenty lied, but I doubt an eight-year-old would pass through). Yes, there WERE concentration camps with children in them-- including one almost EXCLUSIVELY devoted to them. There were also pipels-- young boys chosen for being pretty-- that were trafficed amongst the homosexuals, but also not in Auschwitz (I think it was Buna?). I was mostly pointing out how inaccurate "The Boy in Striped Pyjamas" is; it features a lot of very nice conditions for Auschwitz, including allowing said eight-year-old to sit over by a pile of rocks and talk to a German for hours. |

Note: No age is mentioned in that article. But thank you, it sounds a lot like people are getting fairly hostile toward what seems to be about to head straight to semantics ("How small is too small to work?"). It's not that I "didn't do my research," it seems a lot more like someone was misinformed. I've read at least three survivor accounts, many of which mentioned that people who did not pass the selection-- the old, many of the female, and any boy who was too small to work-- usually the cutoff age seemed to be around twelve (though tall ten-year-olds worked). There is also the issue of the eight-year-old boy (who was in the camp for a while, as well, and was possibly even smaller when he entered) being able to sit and ignore his work for hours a day-- the point was that the book/movie is highly inaccurate and shows a very much "nicer" concentration camp than Auschwitz actually is. |

I MET SURVIVORS. One was around the 10-15 range when he went into the camp, and he saw some kids around the age of 8-11 working there. |

Which camp? If it's not Auschwitz, it's not relevant. |

...oh yeah, Foxby. Cause no other concentration camps were important aside from Auschwitz. And I'm pretty sure it was either Auschwitz or Dachau. Was in middle school when I met the survivors. |

I never said other concentration camps weren't important, they're just not relevant to the topic at hand. Which is: Were there small eight-year-old boys in Auschwitz that were allowed to sit around and play checkers with German boys? My answer is no; the SS was far too strict to even allow them to sit or stray from their workplace to begin with. |

That wasn't what I was bringing up in the first place, though. I even said if you were mistaken that was fine. I'm aggrivated with your tone about all this-it's pretty rude. The topic wasn't the kids in auschwitz. It was the way you talked about them and the holocaust itself. |

I'm sorry I relayed information I believe to be true without a hint of self-doubt. I will refrain from doing so in the future... or will I? I'm not sure... Or was it how I called out a historical fiction book for portraying the Holocaust as something that really wasn't too bad? Or perhaps ruder still how I made an entire new topic about the issue instead of correcting it in the original topic or consulting you about it directly in a messenger instead, thus keeping it out of the public eye and, if any major mistaken information was indeed there, saving you the humiliation? Wait, one of those wasn't me... |
