What happened on the Russian front seems to be related to a bigger history

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_nationalism

Ukrainian Canadian historian Serhiy Yekelchyk writes that during 1943 and 1944 an estimated 35,000 Polish civilians and an unknown number of Ukrainian civilians in the Volhynia and Chelm regions fell victim to mutual ethnic cleansing by the UPA and Polish insurgents.[15] Niall Ferguson writes that around 80,000 Poles were murdered then by Ukrainian nationalists.[16] Norman Davies in his book No Simple Victory: World War II in Europe, 1939-1945 puts the number of murdered Polish civilians at between 200,000 and 500,000, while Timothy Snyder writes that Ukrainian nationalists killed "between forty to sixty thousand Polish civilians in Volhynia in 1943".[17]

Hitler was an anti-Communist. Jews were to be protected and used as a asset. In Poland and Ukraine Germans faced a quagmire of old conflicts.

This picture pains my heart, I see my own and feel my heart breaking.

How could the supposedly most intelligent species on our planet do such unspeakable things to another soul?

I can not even begin to imagine the pain that filled those mothers and father hearts when they found their children's bodies, knowing the love and intelligence that once resided within these now lifeless forms. Now what was once a breathing life issued from their loins, no more will they hear the laughter or joy.

I am ashamed to know this is what human nature brings to this world. I hang my head in shame and my tears fall for ever human life snuffed out for personal gain and profit.

This is not what intelligence should offer to the world!

Kindness and comfort should be the way.

This picture effects me deeply, how does it effect you?

Considering the US has never gone a decade without war, ever since its independence, its not too far fetched to think that all the incidents that have found place in newsprint and gained media coverage altogether make just the tip of the iceberg. What we don't know is many times more than what we know.

Just investigate what american GI's did in Somalia, Afghanistan and Iraq and you will get the same result.
