The highest profile Nazi executions in the Eastern Bloc were also held in public, and the front rows were always filled with the survivors of the Holocaust.
This is such an evocative statement. I can hardly begin to fathom the depths of human emotion those survivors must have felt watching that. The masterminds behind the industrialized annihilation of your friends and family, suddenly weak and struggling against death surrounded by people who hate them as much as you do. Just insane.
There’s some footage on Youtube and it’s very solemn. There’s a huge crowd, they wait for them to die, and then they take the bodies down without a noise.

I like to think there was cheering, whistling, and applause once the chair was kicked. Maybe even a rose or two thrown for the hangman.
