A ship used in a German film about the Titanic was filled with thousands of concentration camp people and then gunned and lit up and sunk.

We never hear about that boat or those people....

I wish we would.

Which is just even more fucked up.

This is after Hitler was dead, the war's end only days away, and the poor people were shipped up to the port and loaded on the unmarked boats, and the RAF did the bombing.

So the allies weren't really feeling like giving this sad episode a lot of press.

And we're left with the oh-so-famous Titanic sinking taking up the news. All those poor wealthy victims, like Astor.
