    So you’ll execute a concentration camp guard who couldn’t find any other job to feed his family as the bombs were raining down, but not a Nazi-voting rich bloke who laughed in glee when his Jewish neighbor was dragged into a van to be executed?

    Or is enforcement not actually the criterion?

    This is why I asked you how many Germans you would execute. It’s a good indicator for what your standards are, how distantly removed one needs to be to deserve the death penalty in your opinion.

    And of course killing a large number of people is going to have to be done somehow. If you truly believe X million people deserve to die, what is the problem with using the conveniently located camps that were just used for killing Y million people?

    I’m not 100% sure if you’re so put off by this specifically, but if killing several million Germans in Auschwitz reads to you as an insulting parody of your beliefs rather than as poetic justice, then ask yourself again if you truly think in your heart of hearts that they deserve to die.

    If you’re fine with using Auschwitz as (one of) the site(s) for killing millions of Germans who have given their unconditional surrender, disregard the above paragraph.
