To attribute human infirmities and passions to the Supreme is to dishonour Him.

Rows of bodies fill the yard of the Boelcke-Kaserne (Boelcke Barracks) located in the south-east of the town of Nordhausen. The barracks was a sub-camp of the Mittelbau-Dora
Nazi concentration camp. Used as an overflow camp for sick and dying
inmates from January 1945, numbers rose from a few hundred to over 6,000
and the conditions saw up to 100 inmates die every day. Around 1,300
inmates died on 3 and 4 April when British bombing raids destroyed
substantial parts of the barracks during raids that destroyed
three-quarters of the town a week before the US Army liberated it. |
