“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."-Rob Siltanen

I recently read an interview from a former SS guard about how the Jews handled being marched to the gas chamber and it disturbed me for a while.

Especially when he was describing the mothers who the SS guard believed to know what was going on, yet they choose to keep a happy face for their children right down to the last few seconds of their lives.
