They thought they were being deported. I'm not defending the actions of the government.

Absolute and utter BS. People were damn well aware of what was going on, at least by 43'. Thousands of Germans guarded those camps, don't you think they talked on furlough? And you think no one noticed all those trains going one way packed to the rafters and coming back empty.zerotwosixty wrote:It's my understanding that the extermination camps were unknown to the general public until after the war.

Xinhua's coverage, via Global Post:
The Daily Mail coverage (Aug 7, 2014):Cambodian police arrest Aussie on child sex
PHNOM PENH, Aug. 5 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian juvenile protection police on Tuesday arrested an Australian national on suspicion of purchasing child prostitution from at least two underage girls, a senior police officer said.
"Sixty-five-year-old Sydney man Trevor Lake, country manager of a big tour company in Cambodia, was arrested Tuesday morning in Siem Reap province on suspicion of purchasing child prostitution from two underage girls," Duong Thavary, chief of the Siem Reap Provincial Anti-Human Trafficking and Juvenile Protection Police, told Xinhua via telephone.
While searching his apartment, police found in a laptop pornographic images and video footages of Trevor Lake having sex with the girls.
Two laptops, three cameras and two external hard disks were confiscated for further analysis.
"We charge him with producing child porn, which could face up to 10 years in jail if convicted," said the official.
A child protection NGO Action Pour Les Enfants (APLE), which assisted police to investigate and arrest the suspect, said Trevor Lake became subject of an investigation after one of the victims stated that he paid her to have sex with him and that the sexual activities were filmed and photographed.
According to APLE, there are possibly many more victims to be identified from the seized images and concerned agents are working hard with police to determine any distribution of the pornographic materials online.
Cambodia launched an anti-pedophilia operation in 2003 in a bid to end its reputation as a haven for child sex offenders. Since then, dozens of foreigners have been imprisoned for child sex crimes.

Australian travel agent, Trevor Lake, 65, arrested in Cambodia for allegedly having sex with underage girls and filming himself in the act
Published: 05:15 GMT, 7 August 2014 | Updated: 06:29 GMT, 7 August 2014
- Adventure travel expert Trevor Lake is in a Cambodian police cell awaiting formal charges on child sex offences
- Police say Lake, 65, paid two girls aged 16 and 17 for sex and filmed himself in the act
- Police allegedly seized laptops and cameras
- Lake was operating in the town of Siem Reap, the tourist gateway to the world heritage listed ancient temple ruins of Angkor Wat
- Lake has been tourist guide in Southeast Asia for 28 years
A 65-year-old Australian who is the manager of a large South-east Asian adventure travel agency has been arrested for allegedly buying sex from two underage girls and filming their sex acts together in the Cambodia city of Siem Reap.
Trevor Lake, of Sydney, was arrested following an investigation by Cambodia's anti-human trafficking police squad in tandem with the anti-paedophile NGO, Action Pour Les Enfants (APLE).
APLE administration chief Vando Khoem told Daily Mail Australia Trevor Lake's came to their attention light after one of the alleged victims, a girl aged 16, made contact with NGO's ground staff in Siem Reap.
Siem Reap lies in Cambodia's northwest and is the tourist gateway to the World Heritage ancient temple ruins of Angkor Wat, which date back to the 12th century.
Mr Khoem said Lake, who works for Trails of Indochina as the Cambodian country manager, had been under investigation since late July.
Cambodian law rules that it is unlawful to pay for sex with a person under the age of 18, he said.
'He rented an apartment in Siem Reap,' Mr Khoem said.
Sok Sam, Siem Reap provincial deputy police chief in charge of anti-trafficking, told The Cambodia Herald officers had arrested Lake on Tuesday.
'We arrested him today in Siem Reap City’s Svay Dangkum district after we investigated him about a week ago,' he said. 'We are questioning him, so we cannot talk about details of the case.'
Mr. Lake’s LinkedIn page, which depicts a photograph of him with a tiger, lists him as the former manager of Discover Asia and says he has links to south-east Asian tourism going back 28 years.
APLE said police searched Lake's apartment and seized two laptops, three cameras and two external hard disks.
He said the two alleged victims were receiving counselling and that APLE was helping the girls and their families.
Lake is in police custody and will soon be transferred to Siem Reap Provincial Prison once formal charges are laid.
Mr Khoem said he would likely face trial in the Siem Reap court in six to 12 months.
APLE is one of several NGOs operating in Cambodia since the government began a concerted effort a decade ago to crack down on child sex offenders, resulting in the many arrests of foreigners on juvenile sex charges.
Trails of Indochina in Siem Reap told Daily Mail Australia it had terminated Lake's position.

It is my impression that many Germans were unaware of the camps activities. The trains all had closed wagons so impossible to know if they were full or empty . The Germans had so many slave labourers working in factories and camps that locals would not have known which places were extirmination facilities.
However the smell from the chimnies may have been a giveaway.

It's called "willful ignorance", and it in no way excuses anything. It's not like there weren't hundreds of other connected events leading up to it as well.ken svay wrote:It is my impression that many Germans were unaware of the camps activities.

There's a reason why the Jews are so defensive about anti-Semitism, and why they connect those dots so quickly in relation to this Palestinian crisis. Compare the outcry about Gaza to what's happening in relation to Syria and the ISIS, for example.

Interesting point. I've noticed a whole lot of people are protesting about Gaza, but not much reaction to the ISIS crowd, who seem to be slaughtering anyone they don't like wholesale. It's sort of understandable as the Palestinian conflict has been a center of attention for decades, while the ISIS just seemed (for most) to pop up out of the blue. I'll have to give some thought to how they are in any way connected, but I know which one I'm more freaked-out about.Jacked Camry wrote:Compare the outcry about Gaza to what's happening in relation to Syria and the ISIS, for example.

Stupid guy.
Especially because there are probably hundreds of 18+ girls in Cambodia who would be exactly the same as a 17 year old. Could have waited one year and he'd still have his business and not facing jail.

Again, thousands, if not tens of thousands, of Germans worked in those camps. If the general population did not know, it is because they did not want to.ken svay wrote:It is my impression that many Germans were unaware of the camps activities.

Lots of nonce news in the past few weeks.
70-year-old paedophile faces imminent deportation orderThe Australian government is no longer providing consular assistance to convicted paedophile Trevor Lake, who is understood to have received a recent pardon from the Cambodian government and now faces imminent deportation back to Australia.
Lake, now 70 years old, has served four years of an eight-year sentence imposed by Cambodian authorities in 2015.
He had been found guilty of paying for sex from two underage girls and filming the acts. The girls were 15 and 17 years old at the time of the offences.
The former high-profile Sydney-based adventure travel agent was arrested in 2014 in the Cambodian tourist resort of Siem Reap with two laptops and three cameras containing child exploitation material.
His offences were detected through the efforts of Cambodian child protection agency Action Pour Les Enfants (APLE), which referred the matter to police.
Lake was the former owner of the Discover Asia agency, and the Cambodian country manager for the Saigon-based Trails of Indo-China.
After The Canberra Times learned that Lake had received a pardon, it sought confirmation from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade as to whether the Australian government had been providing him with consular assistance.
In a carefully worded statement that did not name Lake directly, the department said it was "no longer providing assistance to an Australian man previously detained in Cambodia, following his release from detention".
"Due to privacy obligations, we are unable to provide further information."
Lake is understood to hold both Australian and UK citizenship.
The protection agency which tipped off Lake's offences to police reported that he would be deported following his release. His passport would be flagged which, in turn, would bring him to the attention of the Australian Border Force.
ABF and the Australian Federal Police have both been approached for comment, but neither would do so.
In 1996 the Australian Financial Review ran a series of articles about the pioneers of the Australian travel industry, and Lake was one of six people featured in the series. In May 2011, the Sydney Morning Herald quoted Lake extensively in an article on the expansion of the Vietnamese tourism industry.
