One thing I've never understood is why the Nazis kept such meticulous records of the crimes they committed.
Why did they do that? What purpose did they think it served?
I'm sure that without them, the tribunals after the war would not have been able to prove as much as they did...

@wouter @auschwitzmuseum Unfortunately when a group of people start to see members of another group not as people but as things then they no longer think of it as a crime. From their point of view this was more like the records a pest control officer would keep, an achievement, not a cause of shame. We should all be wary of the trap of simplifying and dehumanising. All (immigrants/police/jews/arabs/republicans/democrats/blacks/whites/straights/gays....) are evil/good.
