Kinda sad. Somebody died in the past. His bro was pretty certain he must have died but never really brought it up. Now he knows for sure that he died in a Nazi camp. It's just a confirmation of what he thought anyway. How is that a newsworthy story? I mean if it were my grandfather and we were sitting by the fire and he told us that this is how he found out about his brother's death, then ok, I'll humour him.

Sorry, I don't mean to seem so cynical, I'm just really sick of the WW2 theme.

Yeah. Every time someone starts talking about prison camps, it's WWII this and WWII that.

;)

As for the actual story, it's sad. But then again the plight of most people in prison camps was terrible. How easily we forget...

I know, I'm just sick of hearing about it. I almost sold all my documentaries too since the History Channel is playing most of the stuff night and day anyway.
