How does this passage affect you?

“Lief was shown a pocketbook and lamp-shades made from human skin for Ilse Kich, wife of the commandant"

So far I have:
This left me in shock that someone would have the idea to skin off someone’s skin and make it into a gift for their spouse.

How can I add more?

What kind of person could commit this atrocity? What kind of person could even look at or touch these objects? Do they even belong to the human race?
Okay, also for this passage

"True, the genocide bloodlettings and other mass slaughters of the half century after Hitler- in Cambodia, in Biafra, in Bosnia, in Rwanda and elsewhere-did not approach the Holocaust in scale"

I have down affected me a lot because knowing that the Holocaust happened, why would other countries still have the guts to harm their own people?

Is that enough or can I still add more of my response?
Add more.
What else can I add? I don't want to add too many "questions"
