The thing that Matt was talking about crimes or attrocities that occur in more modern times hit harder then those that happened in earlier centuries... Ummm duh! The populations that were alive during those events would have mourned/reacted then. If your Grandmother dies today does that mean that her death had more influence to you than when your great grandmother died to your relatives then? I know thats a muddled point but still...
And FTW Nazis are way worse! I loved how Matt said that the prisoners 'could' have rebelled and gotten away... Geez I wonder why they didn't try that? Maybe because the will to live was seen as an act of rebellion. In Auschwitz 700 prisoners tried to escape, 300 were successful. Just saying that the conditions were created in such a way that it became nearly impossible for anyone to have the strength/courage/will/ability to escape.
Just my 0.02.

I should prolly listen to the whole show before I comment BUT I'm about 20 minutes in and I completely agree with you.
Matt starts with one specific argument (the Nazis were so moved by beauty that they didn't destroy certain architecture in France) and as soon as C&K disagree with him he switches to a whole other general point in a sarcastic way (well, I guess art can't effect anyone ever) which no one can disagree with. It's hard to listen to.
