Do or did you know persons who have been prisoners of war?

[Zebra]

I remember some who were prisoners in France and in Britain and in Russia.

Russia kept many German war prisoners until 1956.

Nope, nor did any family members die in the war, any war.

I have an uncle that was a prisoner of war in this country. He was in the German army.

I have known several that were in concentration camps.

I'm a baby boomer, so I probably met people, who had been held captive by the germans, as veterans of the war were everywhere at that time. But like most teenagers, I was more interested in rock music, than in the experiences of the older generation and the veterans themselves didn't usually share their terrible experiences with their children.
But I remember once at school, at some kind of meeting where our parents were also present, one mother stood up and said that our childhood is cloudless and happy compared to theirs, and she showed her arm with a nazi camp tattoo.
I also had to work at a school in my 30s where one of the teachers, a jew, had also been a child in a nazi camp. He couldn't stand sheepdogs and in general dog barking and hated ukrainian nationalists.

around 1945 this was a serious topic

My wife worked for the owner of a small school bus company, Louis Centi, a Marine who was wounded on Iwo Jima. My uncle, Frank Gallagher only spent about a month in the Army before being wounded in Europe that left him with a permanent limp that earned him the nickname "Bumpy". Both escaped becoming POW's but it must have been close.

When I was a child I met a lady who had been in the concentration camps. Yes, she was Jewish and had a number tattooed sloppily on her forearm wrist area.
She was kind and nice....wore huge glasses.

When I was a kid my family knew a jew who survived the holocaust. He had the arm number tattoo and a lot of horror stories.

I have known some, one of my Uncles was captured after the Battle of Leros Greek Island, the Germans were transporting them to the Greek mainland when a British warship intercepted them and took them on board the warship so he was not a prisoner for long, my Best mate from School his father was captured and spent most of the War in a German POW camp he was moved a couple of times because he tried to escape, he was very lucky because he was a Commando and could have been executed under the Commando order that was brought in later, another school friend his Uncle was a POW of the Japanese he was badly scared by that experience, he ran a motorcycle repair shop in the town and my mate and i would spend time in his shop looking at the motorcycles.

Ummmmm.....
Nothing in those articles comes close to genocide.
See,
When you use big words like "genocide" but have zero clue as to what they mean....but claim you do.....you are supposed to prove you actually know what genocide means and not support my opinion that you are too simple to really understand what you are saying.
That's how debate works.....you aren't supposed to prove me right, instead you are supposed to support your side.

Maybe this forum is not the right place for you.

I knew a guy who lived down the street named Art, and he survived the Bataan Death March.

I was told by someone else that he was one of the lucky ones and walked about 10 miles before he found a ride on a truck. But he still survived over 3 years of Japanese captivity, and all he would tell me about it is he has lower back pain from being bent over in farm fields working morning to night. He would not talk about anything else, he told me that discussing any of it would trigger flashbacks in his sleep.

I read a book about Cabantuan POW camp, where Art spent a few years before going to Japan on a Hell Ship. I loaned it to Art. He read it and told me he knew a few people in the book.
