The War

Did anyone watch the final episode of "The War" on PBS. I feel I'm pretty hardened and emotionally dead, but the archival footage is the most shocking thing I've ever seen. They show concentration camp footage followed by images of the atomic bombs and thier surivivors that make you ashamed to be human. What do you think is worse? A concentration camp or the dropping of an atomic bomb on civilians? Don't include strategic considerations in your moral diagnosis (strategic considerations being the necessity of dropping the bomb to end the possibility of a ground invasion of Japan).
