Yes I know about its history. But it had little to do with a welfare state. The welfare state didn’t exist as such when this started out.
The reasons were other (much more shameful if you ask me), it reminds me more of Hitlers Germany I think.
Anyway we can only accept that it happened and move on, make sure it wont happen again.
Will you feel the same way about Guantanamo in 30 years?
