Buchenwald and the Totalitarian Century

This spring marks some sordid anniversaries: 65 years since the discovery of the Nazi concentration camps that facilitated the slaughter of six million Jews and four million various others deemed "misfits" and "undesirables" by Hitler and his henchmen. It is a most bittersweet remembrance: jubilation over the liberation of the camps and for those who somehow physically survived; but also, naturally, deep sorrow for the victims and, most sobering, for the wider display of unspeakable cruelty to which man can descend.
