I sat through the nine and a half hours of this shattering documentary of the depths to which humanity can plunge when exposed to constant hatred promoted by the state. How did these savage monsters put aside all remnants of their humanity and do these attrocities? To kill without mercy and remorse, hundreds of thousands, millions, of human beings of various ages. Old people, people in their prime, small innocent children and babies. Words fail me. I sat through the hours of this great and immensely important documentary of evil, as a duty to know, to spread the knowledge, so such can NEVER happen again. Yet it HAS recurred: in the Balkan civil wars. Human beings are capable of such depravity. Russia's Invasion and genocide in the Ukraine. Evil people, leaders of countries, just seem to be constantly popping up. Maybe that's what humanity IS? All that needs happen for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.
