What was a Kapo or Capo in the Holocaust?
A Capo (or Kapo) was a prisoner trusted by the SS and given various duties and privileges. At many camps Capos were in charge of the distribution of food in a block (at the the camp) and had the right to whip prisoners for minor breaches of discipline.
One of the more revolting features of the Holocaust was that the victims, viewed collectively, were forced to collaborate with their own destruction.
A few Capos seem to have collaborated quite happily(!), and some were tried and convicted of various crimes after the war. A few were hanged.

Has anyone actually got a photograph of Jews being gassed in a concentration camp?
One has to assume that this is a trick question, as anyone who know even a little about this subject knows that the gassings did not take place in concentration camps.They would also know that with the technology available they could not take a picture through the peepholes. They would further know that no photographs were allowed to be taken anywhere near any of these kinds of actions.
Even with the most basic amount of research one would be able to find the five Sonderkommando photographs, with them the explanation of how hard it was to take them.

Did Adolf Hitler want nationalization or privatization?
Hitler's economic policy was corporatist, so it is neither true nationalization or true privatization.

Today, "Ayan Race" is a descredited "ethnic classification". The stereotypical image of an Aryan in popular culture is a tall Northern European with blond hair and blue eyes.
The Aryan Race is an ethnic classification. The word "Aryan" has it's roots in ancient Hindu texts, from the word Arya, which means civilised or enlightened.
It was later used to distinguish Indo-European language speakers from the rest of the world, and this distinction included Iranians and Europeans.
By the 19th Century, the term was being used for a subset of Caucasian Europeans, and their descendants (for example, in the Americas and Australia/New Zealand). While the term referred only to their languages (of Indo-Iranian origin), many came to associate the term Aryan with a difference in biology that we now know to not be present. Furthermore, it came to be believed that the Aryan Race originated in Germany and Scandinavia, which is popularised well in to the 20th century.
Today, Aryanism is closely related to the German Nazi ideologies of the first half of the 20th century. In this Aryanism, the European Aryan Race was superior to other races, especially the Semitic races (those ethnic groups with origins in the Middle East and Northern Africa, especially Jews.) The Nazi Party worked to maintain the so-called purity of this Aryan Race, with systematic imprisonment and, ultimately, genocide. It is for these reasons that Aryanism is a discredited ideology.

What should you have believed? Well, I personally don't think you can go from love to hate like flipping a switch. I think his use of the term "convincing you that he HATED her" is his way of saying I used to be with her for quite a long time, but even now I'm with you I can't always not think about her, even though I try. You can see I'm one of those romantics who believes that you can never completely wash a human being out of your life. It takes time to heal. It means you have to sit him down and tell him you understand that she exists and always will exist, but he is with you now, and what you really want is for him to expend the energy he fakes in hating her and redirect it into meeting your needs.
