In many cases the victims were forced to work in quarrying and coal-mining. Some worked in chemical industries and various other industries. They were given insufficient food and most perished. A small number of the victims were employed in non-manual jobs, such as office work. Some had to sort the good that Jews and others had brought with them. A very small number were employed in the Sonderkommandos (special squads) and had to help with cremating the corpses of victims who had been gassed. It is known that a peculiarly revolting feature of the Holocaust was that some victims were forced in a sense to help in the process of their own destruction.

I've made my fair share of mistakes, and if I can help you avoid a few, I'd sure like to try.

I've poured enough drinks to know that people don't always want advice—they just want to talk.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
