What is worse? Being a Jewish person locked up in a Nazi concentration camp...say Auschwitz? Or...being a black slave in the south US?

    The prisoners in the camps were targeted for extermination in the most inhumane manner the Nazi imagination invented.

    The slaves in America were treated like animals.

    (some as maltreated beasts of burden but some as pampered pets)

    Its an interesting philosophical question --

    some may say that a horrible and lasting death is still better than a life as an animal

    To me, it seems that the extermination camps were clearly and distinctly worse.

    One could add to the mix that some American slaves were able to buy their freedom and become human (admittedly a discriminated minority - but nevertheless a free human being)

    Or being a white slave to consumerism secularism? Each are completely different experiences. The slaves were not gassed and burnt alive in ovens.

    I think both are worse, either working on the fields in the hot sun being whipped, or being burned alive in an oven
