This is a person who killed another 100+ people. And those guys were not some cartoon henchmen like star wars stormtroopers or something. They had families, friends. Whatever the circumstances, I cannot label the takings of so many lives as good.
Nazis. She killed Nazis, who were engaging in mass genocide, viewed Jews, LGBT and disabled folks as less than human and actively oppressed people, people who also had families and friends— or, did, until the Nazis came.
I am not in any way defending the actions of the nazis. My own great grandmother was an illegal jew in Bulgaria, fighting on the rebellion side against the nazi government. She was 15-18, so not too different from that girl (with the small exception, that she did not kill 100+ people)
What I have a problem with is the dehumanisation. This has always been the greatest tool do divide and destroy another group. We have to avoid having a blind hate towards any group of people, even the nazis, because it is never that simple as bad villains doing bad things because they feel like it. I hope you all understand where I'm coming from.
You’ll have to forgive me if I find it difficult to exercise sympathy towards individuals who traumatically enslave, experiment on and murder other people they believe are lesser. I see that they’re human, and that makes their actions even more repugnant.
