1
00:00:00,594 --> 00:00:02,625
“Naturally, there would also be other alternatives,

2
00:00:02,633 --> 00:00:05,070
but unfortunately the concentration
camps are presently not in operation."

3
00:00:05,656 --> 00:00:10,242
It was the German-Turkish author 
Akif Pirinçci who said those

4
00:00:10,267 --> 00:00:14,425
misanthropic words at the annual Pegida
convention in Dresden on 19 October 2015.

5
00:00:15,646 --> 00:00:18,474
Has anything changed since
the thirties and forties?

6
00:00:19,693 --> 00:00:22,693
As we’ve noticed to an increasing
degree in the past months,

7
00:00:22,718 --> 00:00:25,546
today there are rightist
ideas in people’s heads

8
00:00:25,571 --> 00:00:28,514
again through demonstrations
by Pegida and the AfD.

9
00:00:29,091 --> 00:00:32,802
What is more, weapons continue to
be exported to crisis regions.

10
00:00:33,521 --> 00:00:35,458
There they spread fear and terror.

11
00:00:36,146 --> 00:00:39,841
As was the case seventy years ago, 
all this industry cares about is efficiency.

12
00:00:40,834 --> 00:00:45,234
In 1942, Fritz Sander developed
a continuous-operation corpse

13
00:00:45,259 --> 00:00:50,084
incineration oven for mass use for
the Auschwitz concentration camp.

14
00:00:51,115 --> 00:00:53,319
It was also there that the
gas chambers were located in

15
00:00:53,344 --> 00:00:55,428
which the Nazi victims were
murdered on a mass scale.

16
00:00:56,021 --> 00:00:58,147
Back then, only few people
were interested in the fact

17
00:00:58,172 --> 00:01:00,467
that these people are
unworthy and unscrupulous.

18
00:01:01,607 --> 00:01:05,216
Today, weapon exports, like the
modern drones, are just as inhumane.

19
00:01:05,873 --> 00:01:08,138
They are delivered primarily to crisis regions,

20
00:01:08,163 --> 00:01:10,740
where they play a decisive role
in causing streams of refugees.

21
00:01:11,420 --> 00:01:14,302
Even today, hardly anyone is interested
in whether this is inhumane.

22
00:01:14,912 --> 00:01:16,591
But there are things that have changed.

23
00:01:16,998 --> 00:01:20,732
For example, there are strong protests
against that rightist ideology.

24
00:01:21,084 --> 00:01:23,185
And the refugees are treated as well as possible.

25
00:01:23,990 --> 00:01:27,544
And many brutal weapons such as biological
and chemical weapons have been outlawed.

26
00:01:28,591 --> 00:01:32,427
Éva Pusztai, who survived the Auschwitz-Birkenau
extermination camp seventy years ago

27
00:01:32,998 --> 00:01:35,396
and lost 49 of her relatives there,

28
00:01:35,412 --> 00:01:36,779
says today that:

29
00:01:37,521 --> 00:01:39,833
“To manufacture weapons

30
00:01:40,349 --> 00:01:43,700
and to deliver weapons back and forth

31
00:01:44,482 --> 00:01:48,474
is a crime against humanity.

32
00:01:51,740 --> 00:01:55,130
And it is my conviction that, 
before that stops,

33
00:01:56,709 --> 00:01:59,404
it’s going to get worse and worse.

34
00:02:00,318 --> 00:02:03,693
And if we want to stay on the earth at all,

35
00:02:07,342 --> 00:02:09,177
we have to fight for that.”

36
00:02:10,670 --> 00:02:12,396
We basically share her opinion.

37
00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:16,169
But there will always be
people who violate such bans.

38
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,679
Is a world without weapons and
violence even conceivable?
