My grandfather helped liberate the remaining prisoners. He had to dig through mass graves to make sure no one was alive. I'll never forget him describing sorting through hundreds of dead corpses..ill never forget the hollow look on his face. He stared off like a movie was playing in his mind. It haunted him his entire lifetime. He made us sell virtually everything tied to the war. I now have his medals. His purple heart.. he was a hero who saw unimaginable horrors. Rest in peace pap. ❤ may these souls find immeasurable peace with our Lord in paradise, may they meet their loved ones once again❤
My grandfather told me a story about a 238 Captain's pistol he had. Said it came off one at a camp. I asked him about it and he said a pile of dead moved because they weren't dead. They were naked and huddled together not to freeze. He said he gave a little kid a can of orange juice and the kid immediately threw it back up because his stomach hadn't seen food in a while. He said at that point they all agreed none of the officers surrendered. According to what was reported they all fought to the last.
@@ChayebutterIt's sad that uneducated Americans just elected a fascist demagogue. It will be a lasting stain on what's left of the country. It will certainly be the last election America will ever have.
at least 90% of the nazis that tortured, terrorized, brutalized, violated, humillated and murdered millions of people got away with it spending just a few years in prision with the excuse that they followed orders, which is the greates tragedy of this whole thing.
yes, torture and murder is always an everyday thing., people murder their own young children without flinching. The hate and extermination is nothing new. Its the lack of "hanging them" is the only shocking part. The catholic church takeing these people with their precious semen into south America... christ wanted their white asses. lol
I'm a German girl and I just can't describe what I feel seeing this. It's breaking my heart that this unspeakable crime has happened in my home country. In Germany, every school kid is taken to concentration camps to be educated about what has happened in our past, but it's done in a way that's appropriate for children. So I have been to Auschwitz, but seeing this documentary almost 20 years later hits different. I just can't get over the evil spirits in this world. My heart breaks for the millions of innocent people who had to go through this horror. I just wish for these horrible Nazis to get their justice in whatever comes after this life. Thank you for ensuring that it's not forgotten what has been done in Holocaust and sharing it with the world.
I want to say that as a person living in Eastern Europe i think Germany and todays german people have done enough to put this past behind, without forgeting the lessons that come from it ( unlike Japan that got bailed out from their atrocities by the US). I really bothers me that some people think that you and other germans are somehow responsible for the Holocaust. If anything you became stronger by learning from it.
"I dont go around hating everyone I meet. I have friends. I do trust. But mankind as a whole, nu-uh. It's an animal. A cruel animal." Truer words have yet to be spoken.
@@kristandevries4835 Seems to me your Christ isn't much of a teacher. 2024 and more and more people are murdering animals and people for the most stupid en egoist reasons.
I hate when people have the need to disclose their age online but for once I'll be saying it. Im an almost 18-year old girl so i didn't live anywhere close to what happened. My great grandma was jewish but she survived by hiding but that isn't a thing i dwelll on. I have loads of mental struggles and am trying to get through them. One thing that I do when live gets hard is continuing with my research on the second World war and the Holocaust. It reminds me that even people who had to experience this find ways to get through it, to survive. It gives me strenght and obtaining knowlegde has always been my favourite pass-time. I want to know about this, I don't want this piece of history to be forgotten. I will not ever forget what happened, these stories have to be told and the new generations need to be thaught about this, in more depth than they are now.
If you haven't read "Man's Search for Meaning" by Victor Frankl then I urge you to do so. If you have, then reread it. My priest suggested it to me and I've given it to my children. I occasionally will reread it again myself.
Your last paragraph is 100% correct. I'm glad that at your young age you are committed to studying this horrible evil committed against human beings. And you're right...we must never forget.
Irene is one of my favorite survivors. She is still with us, she must be 92 this year. She did a first person speech a few months ago for the holocaust museum. These people are treasures, and we are sadly losing almost all of those still left. Soon, we will no longer have the option to speak directly with anyone who experienced WW II in person, ever again.
Every time I hear Irene speak, I just want to hug her. I want to thank her, I dont know if she realized her service to humanity. She may not have seen it that way, however she absolutely served humanity just by surviving and by being strong enough to share with the world the most horrific story. For being strong enough to stand up, not allwowing any fear to take her over to silence her. For carrying the stories of her family to the worlds attention, the stories of the others at the camps.
When she talked about Edith, that left me feeling so hollow and awful. Alone, a 12 year old little girl, no family no one, to die in such an awful terrifying place. I’m an older sibling and I cannot imagine the tourment this lady will of experienced throughout her life. I’ll remember Edith for the rest of my life, I promise ❤
Yeah it’s crazy. I mean 13-year-old up against a camp whose purpose is to murder her. It’s almost crazy to believe that I mean what did she do to survive? Did she join the Girl Scouts program? Or shine shoes or what
Be careful of other men and women.who feel no guilt for their actions.Create a protective shell and shield for them to see. Remember personal moral power is leverage.
@@PheNom1466 That's why it's so important to know about this stuff. We all like to think "Oh, i'd never do that." But we don't know how the right set of circumstances might affect us and make us capable of doing horrendous acts of evil.
My grandfather was same. Barely even spoke when I came along as his granddaughter. He was a very kind man, gentle man in his spirit. I could feel it. The ripple effects of crimes are extensive...
@@michaeldoran4367 It definitely is a more relevant name to use when it is from war. But I understand why it came under this umbrella term now used today.
I've been to the Holocaust museum in Washington. I could spend hours on end just walking through and reading every piece in there. The piles of shoes behind glass enclousers along with clothes, personal belongings they were stripped of. How degrading these precious people must have felt. They were stripped of everything even their dignity. God bless these poor people and we can never let this happen again.
I’ve been there as well. I stood in the train car, crying, thinking of people stuffed in without the ability to move, then soon to be killed. It’s unimaginable that people had been treated so horribly. 💙
Mi auguro che l'ultima generazione. Si renda conto cosa hanno subito e la smettano di essere dalla parte dei palestinesi amici dei terroristi di HAMAS.... che il 7 ottobre hanno bombardato Israele massacrato bambini e anziani uccisi molti giovani hanno il diritto di difendersi gli ebrei.....
I went to that museum as well. The gold taken from the teeth meant that teeth were routinely extracted and I thought "how truely greusome" and wondered how a person can get to tge place they could actually do that job. So I ubdetstood how the entire situation was so twisted that everyone was changed. The entire system degraded humans beyond comprehension. Those poor dead people and the survivors😢. I find it amazing that surviving Jews did not en mass extract unending revenge.
I've watched quite a few documentaries on the holocost and concentration camps this one is just different we got to see things and hear things we usually don't get from other documentaries. Kitty thank you for being so candid and allowing us to see your everyday fight to survive bc that is the biggest way to seek revenge is to survive and keep your family alive to keep Judaism flourishing by passing your religous beliefs along to your kids.. God bless you and your amazing resiliency
I have seen many documentaries of the Holocaust, plus I have been studying it for over 35 years and I have never seen one so well done as this. Outstanding production, but as always, heartbreaking, and inexplicable.
@@maxsmith695 , Yes, many many years ago. I have read too many to even list, but I have read both the overarching studies, like Hilberg , and “The War Against the Jews” but also many personal memoirs that were outstanding and presented a more pointed aspect I.e, “The Kovno Ghetto Diary”, several books on the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, some stories of resistors like Corrie ten Boom “The Hiding Place”. I could go on and on. I have stood in a cattle car used to transport Jews to the death camps, viewed thousands of shoes and smelled the rotting leather. These are all different facets of the Holocaust and all important. I’m still learning new things even after 35 years. It actually didn’t occur to me until about 10 years ago that not only were the people gone, but an entire way of life was destroyed (The Shtetl) and in its own way, the most heartbreaking thing of all.
Did you know that many in the camps were Jews and Poles from the Ukraine who had fled the murderous nationalists there? Nationalists who murdered a couple 100.000 Jews and Poles. Did you know the Germans gave them refuge in camps and on farms in Germany. ?
i was born in 1968 from the south east asia, yes i did heard the word holocaust but never knew more about it then until the internet and youtube was born. everything now comes unfold thru the testimony of these brave survivors. the atrocity was beyond horror and seems unreal, but what i cannot believe was there are people out there who are denying that these massive murders didn't happen. may the survivors find solace and peace, and the souls who perished now rest in eternal peace. we will never forget.
@@taras6806 there's nothing i could recall that any of my schools never thought us about it. i should say an absolute yes, it was an educational issue then.
@@morosso1968 -Different nations view different parts of history differently. No need to explain. How many persons growing up in Norway, know about the holocaust in Vietnam in the 1960's. The holocaust in Guatemala in the 1950's or the holocaust in Indonesia post World War 2? So many holocausts, only so much time to teach.
"Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it" There are those who believe that the Holocaust never happened - which makes it even more important to tell the stories of the atrocities that took place during WW2. They are not here to tell, and we must be the voices for them. 😢😢😢
That's right don't forget these people's role in moving slaves into the ottoman and byzantine empire from Europe....don't forget how they enslaved africans in Africa....then centuries later also ent Africans to the new world....don't forget this people have been kicked out of more than 200 nations for their crimes....
Russia is perpetrating a genocide of ukrainians at this very minute. We shouldn't close our eyes to it. They have also deported about 3 000 000 women and children to Russia to make them russian and breed russians like cattle.
Heinous crimes against humanity just like Holocaust are still common everywhere in the world even today. For example, we can see similar wrongdoings in Uigur, North Korea, Ukraine etc. Sad to say, our humanity has not improved at all since 1945.
Isn't this what is happening in Europe at the moment? Europeans have lowered their guard and forgotten their past and now Nazism is blossoming once again all over Europe. You might call it far right or nationalism but we all know how Nazism started in Germany.
Yet there are many who want it done again and still others who refuse to believe it possible. Just as so many were in denial during WW2. But those who pay attention see what those like Trump and his followers are still attempting to do.
I have seen countless docus on Auschwitz and I’m only 12 minutes in but I am highly impressed by the quality of this docu. Thanks so much for the continues education on these horrors. People forget all too soon.
I know, right? I already left my own comment, but I just wanted to reply how this was the very first time ever a documentary gave such distinct and clear portrayal of how exactly it was happening. I’ve read so many articles and watched so many docus and it’s not until I watched this one that I got such clear understanding of how exactly the ramp selection was taking place. Huge thank you to the creators of this documentary!
This was very well done. What happened during the Holocaust is unbelievable and soon there won’t be any survivors of The Holocaust and even WW2 and this must not be forgotten or this may get repeated again and again and in some places it has been repeated just with a different group of people. So heartbreaking to see what they went through.
debra, I don't know in which country you areside but I think it will be repeated again and again - perhaps in smaller doses. Here in the Uk we have Suella Braverman wishing to deport refugeees to Rwanda... I see too many similarities for my liking or indeed that of most people of decency.
And yet, from this broadcast of the truth, mankind continues to hear the horrors and their souls remain unaffected by it. Maybe not all but each of us is effected and I'm powerless to impact anyone but myself. I am so grateful for those with the courage to speak up - please know - there are people like me and we are listening and learning from you. Thank you.
I always try to take time to remember what happened since members of my family were deported to Auschwitz from Rhodes, Greece most of them died and only 1 survived. May the innocent souls that endured Auschwitz rest in peace
How man can treat another man with such barbaric cruelty is beyond compreshension, this must never ever be forgotton and must never ever be allowed to happen again.
This was done so well. I think I've seen just about every Holocaust documentary there is on UA-cam and this one stands out from the rest. Thank you for making this
This is a stain on German history that will never be removed. When I think of Germany this is exactly what I think of. The terrible suffering and misery that the Nazis inflicted on these people. Also on the countries they occupied. I hope these dear people may RIP. You will never be forgotten.
I understand what you mean. I think the exact same. These things are so horrific. How can you wash away the bloodstains and suffering of millions and millions of innocent people?
@alisonschorm7600 you do realize alot of great inventions come from Germany right? Alot of medical practices that we still use today come from Germany. I hope you havent been flying on a plane recently because 9/10 that engine is from Germany🤣
As citizens of any country we should use this horrific piece of history and the stories of these people who survived,to ensure that nothing like this ever happens again.The holocaust survivors accounts should be treated as a heritage gifted to us by these brave people to remind us of the disasters we could face when power, greed,corruption and racism is left unchecked.
Unfortunately it keeps happening,, the us killed over a million in de middle east with the excuse of them having weapons of mass destruction and to this day no weapons were found yet nobody seems to give attention to that masacre
Never happen again??? you only have to look at what happened in the former Yugoslavia during the 90s. so it's apparent that people don't learn from history
The scariest part is that the people who carried out the killings were normal people with their families living with them, and there are still people who believe that some humans are not human and willingly kill those who are different or live on the other side of an imaginary line.
Just because a person appears normal, has attributes associated with normality, does not mean that they have the ability to feel empathy or that the part of their brain that guards their behavior is functioning.
Ordinary men by Christopher browning is an excellent book/case study on exactly that, how ordinary men turn into the kinds of people who bayonett pregnant women
This is so horrible to think this happened not even that long ago. So many innocent people died, children, babies. It’s just so incredibly sad. It’s horrible but it does make me grateful that I live somewhere where this won’t happen and I can make sure my daughter is safe. They tortured and destroyed these people and were proud to do so. Humans are the worst
I have heard that 20 kilometers south from Birkenau the Germans are said to have built what appears to be a village near Wilamowice and vaporized many thousands of prisoners there on October 27, 1944 with a special bomb (atomic bomb, coal dust bomb?), US judge Jackson in the Trial against Albert Speer claimed this! Please make a contribution about this incredible atrocity as well. Allegedly, IG Farben was involved because they wanted to try out such a terrible method that was supposed to replace burning the corpses in overloaded ovens. This is so horrible! That needs to be explained!
@@maxsmith695 sadly it happend we have witness reports its horrible! Hans Kammler, Georg Stetter, Hans Thirring and Kurt Diebner plus Manfred von Ardenne and Siegfried Flügge and Wilhelm Seuffert was involved in this unimaginable crime against humanity. We have hints that they dropped an experimental 3Kt nuclear bomb from an airplane via parachute over the artificial village north of Wilamowice that was full of 20000 prisoners.
Following the video along w/prisoners,I so wanted to cry as if I were next to them...don't go,oh if I could only stop your journey!". Felt as if I were walking into the chambers. Crying as I'm writing this,yet almost glad that these photos/videos were catalogued. People need to see & never ever forget what happened. God bless the survivors & those who helped them along the way. 😢😊❤
@DrunkOnMAGATears In case you misunderstood what I meant....I was referring to the victims who survived this atrocity & the courageous people who helped them.
All human beings have the capacity to hate and do evil. Some give in to this more than others. This is what gives us the false notion that there are good and bad people. But given the opportunity, human beings will lean into sinful behaviours.
I visited Auschwitz when I was in Poland in 1999. It is near the city of Krakow. It is open to the public, as it should be. It was chilling and deeply disturbing. Many of the personal effects of prisoners are on display.....hundreds of suitcases, glasses and - I remember - prosthetic limbs.
Auschwitz was so pivotal in the human history that I call all the times after it postauschwitzian. It is like a stamp tattooed to everything we have thought and done after the fact and it doesn't go away trying to wash it away or trying to belittle it's signifigance. We have to live with it, it is a huge and monstrous segment of our european legacy, truth about us we cannot deny.
@@theadaunicorn Are you aware of the 1946 Red Cross report. 1500 pages. Those are highly detailed reports of all aspects of the camps. Are you aware of the 1991 return by Russia of all camp records? 1978 USAF weekly overflight photos of the camps, now declassified?
Show your evidence then? how could anyone deny the truth with your evidence. Personaly i think to a degree stuff happend but there is something that just dosent feel right about it like with forexample 9/11. And all other people have sufferd in diffrent ways to why do we almost never heard their story? Its only about these peoples suffering over and over and over again. And sorry for my English.
@@haraldsigurdsson1232SS wives were a number one use of evidence. Used over and over again. 9/11 look through social media their stories are out there.
One can never understand why people are evil and committed these horrendous crimes. I pray that no-one will ever forget what happened to the poor people who were subjected to them. I hope they will all be able to rest in peace.
@@Helmuesi911 quite a lot to understand. To have the thoughts that the nazis had to hurt and torture people is beyond belief normal people don't think on that level they are evil inside and out and that is why it's so hard to understand.
@@dianewhitehouse7244 The thoughts that Nazies had, is the same what some people nowadays have. People act on instincts. Like some other primates. Some animals exterminate eachother too in certain circumstances. The reasons are allways the same. I know personally people who think the same more or less and of course they are dangerous. I see it, hear it, sense it. People, like some primates have this kind of instincts. I fear everything will be repeated. Just to kill people of. The reasons are more or less allways the same. It happens right now, under our noses, but differently 'organized'.
There are hundreds of psychological experiments that prove everyday normal humans will willingly harm their fellow man, for as little as just being viewed as a "member" of a group
That documentary was exceedingly insightful as to the sequence of events for the poor victims who were led to these torturous locations . So many souls cruelly extinguished like a million candles being snuffed out. It brings so much heartache to imagine these normal people living ordinary lives one day then for it all to change so dramatically at the hands of other human beings under orders.
I've been to Aushvitz. Even now all these years later and most certainly no way near as daunting. You can just feel 'it' I remember the tour guide saying 'Please be respectful, no selfies and no photos in certain places. Remember you are standing on one of, if not the biggest graveyards in the world' Sent chills up my spine
These video about Auschwitz and anything to do with the Holocaust is hard to really say we like watching. But, it's a part of History that should never be forgotten nor should it have happened nor should it happen again, to any group of people!!! People need to get along, accept people for who they are no matter what! This should never happen again, EVER!!!
"The screams, oh the screams!" - Rena from Rena's Promise as one of the Kappa women sent a young "girlwoman" prisoner to fetch the cap that she threw out of the work area, only to send her dog on the girl to be bitten to death while the Kappa smiled and called the dog a "Good boy." for killing her. That's just ONE incident of a disgusting peak into how heartless the Kappa's was. One out of countless horrible things the poor prisoners had to experience day to day in these camps. Never, ever, ever forget how cruel human beings can be, and remember what the victims of this place share. I pray to all the gods in the world, that this will never happen again.
This lady said it all when she talked about mankind as a whole. Took the words that I’ve been saying for years right out of my mouth. Fxking tragedy. Utter disgrace.
But these [false teachers], like unreasoning animals, [mere] creatures of instinct, born to be captured and destroyed, reviling things they do not understand, will also perish in their own corruption [in their destroying they will be destroyed], 2 Peter 2:12 But if you bite and devour one another [in bickering and strife], watch out that you [along with your entire fellowship] are not consumed by one another. Galatians 5:14-25
I wouldn't call them animals honestly, that to me gives them too much respect. Animals kill for a legitimate reason, like food or defense from another animal. They don't kill for the sheer sake of killing like this. Animals have a reason to kill, the Nazis did so simply because they could.
He is no different from any slave owner during slavery and they killed,boiled slaves Alive,feed black babies to crocodiles and etc so to me this looks like karma that they got if you ask me because what goes around comes around 😅
It’s so crazy how u can visit these places but you can never really travel back to time and just see all those families in pain and being separated it’s hard to picture just how many people were there crying and working and starving, it doesn’t look real but the fact that it is, is a nightmare.
I lost ancestors I love but will never get to know in concentration camps. My heart fills with love and compassion for everyone who unjustly lost their lives and innocence in this atrocity. Let us never forget man's inhumanity to man. To those who committed those atrocities: may God have mercy on your souls, but I doubt it.
god had this all in his divine plan from the start, created the victims and the perpetrators, did nothing to stop it and even watched it happen. If the perpetrators came to jesus at the end, they're in heaven. Be honest to yourself.
I did a documentary on this in high school. Such a bad time in history I hope this never happens again. All those people didn’t do anything an they didn’t deserve it. God have peace on there souls.
Thankfully/luckily, Irene’s older sister survived Auschwitz with her so she wasn’t completely alone after the war. They both emigrated to the United States too.
To everyone out there, there will be justice done. It may not come in this life but it will come. "Vengeance is mine. Says the Lord." He promised it and He will do it.
@Mary. I am a greek christ.orthod But i feel so much pain for all jews until know every time i remember and hear from my parents what the f@@@@@g germans did for no reason!!!!!
I was last week in Auschwits it was a horrible place to visit! I was so sad think of all those human beings passed that way it broke my heart may they all RIP
I watch a lot of documentaries and read a lot of books on the Holocaust. There is no one in my family who understands why I am so interested in this time in history 😢
The first prisoners in Auschwitz were Poles; these camp were build for Poles. 3 million Poles were murdered by germans. Get educated. Jews, who became prisoners in Auschwitz much later, were not the only victims in WW2.
I still can't understand how there could be so much hate and evil, Still happening maybe not on this scale but we should never let this holocaust be forgotten and the people who never made it out never be forgotten ☘
@@ssherrierable Of course I remember and think of others Im from Ireland so I know how it feels to come from an oppressed country, But it's the scale and the enormity of what the Nazi's did it was unbelievable and just so evil.. So if you can elaborate on ur comment I could understand you more??
@@jpakos6701 And look at the 97yr old who was only sentenced to 2yr suspended I know 97 but she went on the run last yr at 96🤣 Ah know it still shows people and more importantly the law still care, She was a secretary at one of the camps...
How can a person take photographs without emotion? How can he see people and not SEE them as fellow humans when he is literally focusing his lens on faces?
I have been asking myself the same questions. How could this man take photographs of little children, look into their eyes, knowing they were to be murdered, then return home to his wife and his own children? The only answer is that he was brainwashed to believe that the Jews were not human. That is why he showed no remorse and suffered no guilt after the war because, even years later, he believed the lies of the Nazis. God bless the souls of the millions of innocents slaughtered, and may the souls of the perpetrators suffer eternal purgatory. 😭😭🤬🤬
Oh God please give your refuge n love to these innocent children of yours.Dear Lord Almighty Krishna give shelter to these people who believed in you . Destroy the perpetrators by Undefeatable Power 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️
I just can’t believe how anyone can send children, babies, mothers, old people to the gaz chambers! I’m heartbroken..😢😢 And after “work” can go home to their families and hug their own children , eat big meals , taking warm bathes , celebrating parties and christmas - while the inmates are starving, freezing, living in dirt!
You are seeing something worse these days : parents volunteer themselves & their children to the state to be injected with poison due to a lie called PLANdeMIC & they believe this should be doing constantly.
When I was in high school in the 1960s it was taught. But now it apparently is not....and today look what is happening in 2024....Juden being written on store fronts in America, calls to boycott Jewish owned businesses, calling for the genocide of Israel.
*I notice that more and more people are denying this ever happened.* There were no 'deniers' right after the war because there were too many people who saw proof with their own eyes. But as more and more of the witnesses passed on, the deniers started to become more. _This should tell you something about the people who say it never happened. More specifically, their lack of courage._ Today the deniers outnumber the survivors. I'm saddened that in a generation this will only be seen as a myth. (despite the visual and written evidence)
What makes it worse is the Internet is no longer the greatest repository of information it used to be; now, with trolls, fakes, deep fakes, and the introduction of AI photo creation, you can't trust even visual evidence. There's a channel on UA-cam that pads their content with AI created photos of the camps and victims; how long until the deniers point to ANY photo and even video and claim it's faked?
I just don't understand. I really don't. Even today, why is there so much hate for other people. Whether religion, skin color, sexuality, it makes no sense. People are people first. Everything else comes after.
51:36 What do you expect? You throw JESUS CHRIST from your midst then that leaves nothing but Satan and evil to reign. Which in turn breeds men and women hating one another, etc. This country is gone and will never come back. Perilous times are right ahead. Everyone I meet on the street calls themselves Christians,but live their lives any ole way, totally ignoring GODS word. 51:36
it fills me with rage that these things happened. I can only imagine what it felt like for those people at the time. I wish there was someway I could go back in time and somehow save these people.
Well, fortunately, enough, a whole bunch of their children survived, and they’re still alive today so you can ask them about what it was like to be murdered
In this era too there are such existing persons who abuse others mentally and emotionally,there are evil people around us ,only way is figuring out whom do we mingle with and be with and stay away in the most possible way.
A deeply chilling, tragic documentary. I was moved and profoundly disturbed watching it, as well as being furious and disgusted. It's a grim warning for today's democracies - many people now are willing to relinquish their rights: to allow protests to be silenced and governments to pass fascistic laws. Our civil liberties, our human rights are precious things. We have a duty to resist anyone who wishes to wrest them from us.
"He hadn't noticed any killings." So where did he think all the people went after they came in? I mean, at some point, you have to wonder why the camp is always able to take in new loads of people.
Key word being "man". I'm well aware that there were a great number of female guards that killed and tortured the prisoners, but this sort of thing always starts with man. Why is that?
My late Mother and her family arrived in Auschwitz on May 31. 1944. Her parents and grandparents and aunt with her 3 year old boy were gassed on arrival. My Grandmother was one of 10 siblings. The only survivor among them lost his first wife and four children.
My moms mom survived Auschwitz her sister lily and parents were killed there . 3 of her sisters survived they were in hiding her name was Etyu Roth my other grandmother was Erna Hutterer Freilich also was in Aushwitz
Ms. Irene is absolutely correct about mankind- absolute animals! I love how dignified she is after all the evil that happened to her and her entire family. She's not bitter and appreciates that she lived to tell the oral history of this dark time. I still can not believe that the world looked the other way while 6 million men, women, and children were murdered! Even the United States turned away Jews fleeing Europe. Refused to let them in as refugees. Evil is very real. We must never let this happen to anyone ever again. 🌿🕊🤍🕯🕎
It's shocking to know how many people were involved organizing the many camps and agreeing to participate. And, I wonder how long it took for the camps to be organized, cleaned up, finding relatives for the survivors, etc. And, after all of the damage that was done, where did the Germans, SS etc. hope to live? I wish I could comfort the many who lost their lives.
Speaking of this terrible German atrocity, one must tell an absolutely whole and complete story. In this film, nothing is said about the murder in this camp, not only Jews, but also huge numbers of Poles, Roma and Soviet prisoners of war, it is a huge disrespect and lack of memory for these victims.
You should see how Americans treat incarcerated Americans prison guards and staff dehumanized inmates all the time. Btw there were a lot of actual criminals in these concentration camps as well.
My grandfather helped liberate the remaining prisoners. He had to dig through mass graves to make sure no one was alive. I'll never forget him describing sorting through hundreds of dead corpses..ill never forget the hollow look on his face. He stared off like a movie was playing in his mind. It haunted him his entire lifetime. He made us sell virtually everything tied to the war. I now have his medals. His purple heart.. he was a hero who saw unimaginable horrors. Rest in peace pap. ❤ may these souls find immeasurable peace with our Lord in paradise, may they meet their loved ones once again❤
I love how you honor ur grandpa ❤ he sounds like an amazing man and I’m so glad and thankful he fought for our country and the Jewish community ❤❤
My grandfather told me a story about a 238 Captain's pistol he had. Said it came off one at a camp. I asked him about it and he said a pile of dead moved because they weren't dead. They were naked and huddled together not to freeze. He said he gave a little kid a can of orange juice and the kid immediately threw it back up because his stomach hadn't seen food in a while. He said at that point they all agreed none of the officers surrendered. According to what was reported they all fought to the last.
Cap.
@MikeSimmons-ct3zx not a cap at all. It's sad some don't recognize what others have done for their country.
@@ChayebutterIt's sad that uneducated Americans just elected a fascist demagogue. It will be a lasting stain on what's left of the country. It will certainly be the last election America will ever have.
at least 90% of the nazis that tortured, terrorized, brutalized, violated, humillated and murdered millions of people got away with it spending just a few years in prision with the excuse that they followed orders, which is the greates tragedy of this whole thing.
yes, torture and murder is always an everyday thing., people murder their own young children without flinching. The hate and extermination is nothing new. Its the lack of "hanging them" is the only shocking part.
The catholic church takeing these people with their precious semen into south America... christ wanted their white asses. lol
To Simon maybe in this world justice is mine said the Lord they Wii pay
How many children has your military killed today?
There's a Movie about them.
I mean, Mengele managed to escape and live free...it's a shame
I'm a German girl and I just can't describe what I feel seeing this. It's breaking my heart that this unspeakable crime has happened in my home country. In Germany, every school kid is taken to concentration camps to be educated about what has happened in our past, but it's done in a way that's appropriate for children. So I have been to Auschwitz, but seeing this documentary almost 20 years later hits different. I just can't get over the evil spirits in this world. My heart breaks for the millions of innocent people who had to go through this horror. I just wish for these horrible Nazis to get their justice in whatever comes after this life. Thank you for ensuring that it's not forgotten what has been done in Holocaust and sharing it with the world.

I think it's obvious. Yes, she has good enough to realize how that situation and feel bad about it. Anybody can recognize that.@user-uf3bn9cc5e
I want to say that as a person living in Eastern Europe i think Germany and todays german people have done enough to put this past behind, without forgeting the lessons that come from it ( unlike Japan that got bailed out from their atrocities by the US). I really bothers me that some people think that you and other germans are somehow responsible for the Holocaust. If anything you became stronger by learning from it.
"I dont go around hating everyone I meet. I have friends. I do trust. But mankind as a whole, nu-uh. It's an animal. A cruel animal." Truer words have yet to be spoken.
That is where Christ teaches us humans to bÉ human.
Except for the use of the word “animal.” It wasn’t animals who did this. It was human beings. Animals do not kill for pleasure, or sadism. People do
Humanity has the possibility to be evil but not all are it is a conscious decision

@@kristandevries4835 Seems to me your Christ isn't much of a teacher. 2024 and more and more people are murdering animals and people for the most stupid en egoist reasons.
I hate when people have the need to disclose their age online but for once I'll be saying it. Im an almost 18-year old girl so i didn't live anywhere close to what happened. My great grandma was jewish but she survived by hiding but that isn't a thing i dwelll on. I have loads of mental struggles and am trying to get through them. One thing that I do when live gets hard is continuing with my research on the second World war and the Holocaust. It reminds me that even people who had to experience this find ways to get through it, to survive. It gives me strenght and obtaining knowlegde has always been my favourite pass-time. I want to know about this, I don't want this piece of history to be forgotten.
I will not ever forget what happened, these stories have to be told and the new generations need to be thaught about this, in more depth than they are now.
If you haven't read "Man's Search for Meaning" by Victor Frankl then I urge you to do so. If you have, then reread it. My priest suggested it to me and I've given it to my children. I occasionally will reread it again myself.

Your last paragraph is 100% correct. I'm glad that at your young age you are committed to studying this horrible evil committed against human beings. And you're right...we must never forget.
I also remind myself of what the survivors lived through for strength throughout my struggles.
Irene is one of my favorite survivors. She is still with us, she must be 92 this year. She did a first person speech a few months ago for the holocaust museum. These people are treasures, and we are sadly losing almost all of those still left. Soon, we will no longer have the option to speak directly with anyone who experienced WW II in person, ever again.
Ever heard of Olga Lengyel.

Someone should record what she says at the museum to have for future playback.
@@ericbitzer5247 do you go to each page looking for people to say this to? I bet you do. Predatory behavior
@@ericbitzer5247 I feel sorry for your mother
Every time I hear Irene speak, I just want to hug her. I want to thank her, I dont know if she realized her service to humanity. She may not have seen it that way, however she absolutely served humanity just by surviving and by being strong enough to share with the world the most horrific story. For being strong enough to stand up, not allwowing any fear to take her over to silence her. For carrying the stories of her family to the worlds attention, the stories of the others at the camps.
When she talked about Edith, that left me feeling so hollow and awful. Alone, a 12 year old little girl, no family no one, to die in such an awful terrifying place. I’m an older sibling and I cannot imagine the tourment this lady will of experienced throughout her life. I’ll remember Edith for the rest of my life, I promise ❤
THE WHOLE WORLD WHILE SATAN DUMPSTER DID THE SAME THING AT OUR SOUTHERN.
What a wonderful woman. She didn't let evil people destroy her. An extremely strong person!
Yeah it’s crazy. I mean 13-year-old up against a camp whose purpose is to murder her. It’s almost crazy to believe that I mean what did she do to survive? Did she join the Girl Scouts program? Or shine shoes or what
The weak and young were sent to the extermination centre,
Be careful of other men and women.who feel no guilt for their actions.Create a protective shell and shield for them to see.
Remember personal moral power is leverage.
Bless you Irene for your contribution to the historical record. What unimaginable cruelty you experienced. Absolutely horrific.
She said, mankind as a whole. Is a monster. She is 100 percent correct.
@@PheNom1466 That's why it's so important to know about this stuff. We all like to think "Oh, i'd never do that." But we don't know how the right set of circumstances might affect us and make us capable of doing horrendous acts of evil.

My dad was in ww2 he was mentally sick from it,, he was section 8, he had severe shell shock he helped rescue the remaining prisoners.
My grandfather was same. Barely even spoke when I came along as his granddaughter. He was a very kind man, gentle man in his spirit. I could feel it. The ripple effects of crimes are extensive...

I like how you said shell shock instead of PTSD. George Carlin was correct. Shell Shock is so much better of a term than PTSD

I've been to the Holocaust museum in Washington. I could spend hours on end just walking through and reading every piece in there. The piles of shoes behind glass enclousers along with clothes, personal belongings they were stripped of. How degrading these precious people must have felt. They were stripped of everything even their dignity. God bless these poor people and we can never let this happen again.
I’ve been there as well. I stood in the train car, crying, thinking of people stuffed in without the ability to move, then soon to be killed. It’s unimaginable that people had been treated so horribly. 💙
Mi auguro che l'ultima generazione. Si renda conto cosa hanno subito e la smettano di essere dalla parte dei palestinesi amici dei terroristi di HAMAS.... che il 7 ottobre hanno bombardato Israele massacrato bambini e anziani uccisi molti giovani hanno il diritto di difendersi gli ebrei.....
I went to that museum as well. The gold taken from the teeth meant that teeth were routinely extracted and I thought "how truely greusome" and wondered how a person can get to tge place they could actually do that job. So I ubdetstood how the entire situation was so twisted that everyone was changed. The entire system degraded humans beyond comprehension. Those poor dead people and the survivors😢. I find it amazing that surviving Jews did not en mass extract unending revenge.

Kitty thank you for being so candid and allowing us to see your everyday fight to survive bc that is the biggest way to seek revenge is to survive and keep your family alive to keep Judaism flourishing by passing your religous beliefs along to your kids.. God bless you and your amazing resiliency
I have seen many documentaries of the Holocaust, plus I have been studying it for over 35 years and I have never seen one so well done as this. Outstanding production, but as always, heartbreaking, and inexplicable.
Which authors have you read. Raul Hilberg ?
@@maxsmith695 , Yes, many many years ago. I have read too many to even list, but I have read both the overarching studies, like Hilberg , and “The War Against the Jews” but also many personal memoirs that were outstanding and presented a more pointed aspect I.e, “The Kovno Ghetto Diary”, several books on the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, some stories of resistors like Corrie ten Boom “The Hiding Place”. I could go on and on. I have stood in a cattle car used to transport Jews to the death camps, viewed thousands of shoes and smelled the rotting leather. These are all different facets of the Holocaust and all important. I’m still learning new things even after 35 years. It actually didn’t occur to me until about 10 years ago that not only were the people gone, but an entire way of life was destroyed (The Shtetl) and in its own way, the most heartbreaking thing of all.
It never happened it is all one big lie.
Did you know that many in the camps were Jews and Poles from the Ukraine who had fled the murderous nationalists there? Nationalists who murdered a couple 100.000 Jews and Poles. Did you know the Germans gave them refuge in camps and on farms in Germany. ?
its shiza
i was born in 1968 from the south east asia, yes i did heard the word holocaust but never knew more about it then until the internet and youtube was born.
everything now comes unfold thru the testimony of these brave survivors. the atrocity was beyond horror and seems unreal, but what i cannot believe was there are people out there who are denying that these massive murders didn't happen.
may the survivors find solace and peace, and the souls who perished now rest in eternal peace.
we will never forget.
Never ever forget about holocaust.
I am a survivor.
I am surprised that you didn't know of it. You're old enough... was it an educatoin issue? Genuine questions. Yess; lest we forget.
@@taras6806 there's nothing i could recall that any of my schools never thought us about it. i should say an absolute yes, it was an educational issue then.
@@morosso1968 -Different nations view different parts of history differently. No need to explain. How many persons growing up in Norway, know about the holocaust in Vietnam in the 1960's. The holocaust in Guatemala in the 1950's or the holocaust in Indonesia post World War 2? So many holocausts, only so much time to teach.
"Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it" There are those who believe that the Holocaust never happened - which makes it even more important to tell the stories of the atrocities that took place during WW2. They are not here to tell, and we must be the voices for them. 😢😢😢
That's right don't forget these people's role in moving slaves into the ottoman and byzantine empire from Europe....don't forget how they enslaved africans in Africa....then centuries later also ent Africans to the new world....don't forget this people have been kicked out of more than 200 nations for their crimes....
Russia is perpetrating a genocide of ukrainians at this very minute. We shouldn't close our eyes to it. They have also deported about 3 000 000 women and children to Russia to make them russian and breed russians like cattle.
Heinous crimes against humanity just like Holocaust are still common everywhere in the world even today. For example, we can see similar wrongdoings in Uigur, North Korea, Ukraine etc. Sad to say, our humanity has not improved at all since 1945.
Isn't this what is happening in Europe at the moment? Europeans have lowered their guard and forgotten their past and now Nazism is blossoming once again all over Europe. You might call it far right or nationalism but we all know how Nazism started in Germany.
Yet there are many who want it done again and still others who refuse to believe it possible. Just as so many were in denial during WW2. But those who pay attention see what those like Trump and his followers are still attempting to do.
I have seen countless docus on Auschwitz and I’m only 12 minutes in but I am highly impressed by the quality of this docu. Thanks so much for the continues education on these horrors. People forget all too soon.
I know, right? I already left my own comment, but I just wanted to reply how this was the very first time ever a documentary gave such distinct and clear portrayal of how exactly it was happening. I’ve read so many articles and watched so many docus and it’s not until I watched this one that I got such clear understanding of how exactly the ramp selection was taking place. Huge thank you to the creators of this documentary!
This was very well done. What happened during the Holocaust is unbelievable and soon there won’t be any survivors of The Holocaust and even WW2 and this must not be forgotten or this may get repeated again and again and in some places it has been repeated just with a different group of people. So heartbreaking to see what they went through.
It's being repeated now in North Korea.
debra, I don't know in which country you areside but I think it will be repeated again and again - perhaps in smaller doses. Here in the Uk we have Suella Braverman wishing to deport refugeees to Rwanda... I see too many similarities for my liking or indeed that of most people of decency.
@@taras6806 and also African massacres and basically every person in North Korea
I love your comment. Lest we forget This lady is so very dignified.
Yes it’s incredible what they went through, but a lot of survivors carried on the story. Let’s hope the story carries on once they have gone.
And yet, from this broadcast of the truth, mankind continues to hear the horrors and their souls remain unaffected by it. Maybe not all but each of us is effected and I'm powerless to impact anyone but myself. I am so grateful for those with the courage to speak up - please know - there are people like me and we are listening and learning from you. Thank you.
I always try to take time to remember what happened since members of my family were deported to Auschwitz from Rhodes, Greece most of them died and only 1 survived. May the innocent souls that endured Auschwitz rest in peace

The scariest part is that the people who carried out the killings were normal people with their families living with them, and there are still people who believe that some humans are not human and willingly kill those who are different or live on the other side of an imaginary line.
Just because a person appears normal, has attributes associated with normality, does not mean that they have the ability to feel empathy or that the part of their brain that guards their behavior is functioning.

It happens right now, under our noses, but differently 'organized'.
There are hundreds of psychological experiments that prove everyday normal humans will willingly harm their fellow man, for as little as just being viewed as a "member" of a group
That documentary was exceedingly insightful as to the sequence of events for the poor victims who were led to these torturous locations . So many souls cruelly extinguished like a million candles being snuffed out. It brings so much heartache to imagine these normal people living ordinary lives one day then for it all to change so dramatically at the hands of other human beings under orders.
I've been to Aushvitz. Even now all these years later and most certainly no way near as daunting. You can just feel 'it'

god had this all in his divine plan from the start, created the victims and the perpetrators, did nothing to stop it and even watched it happen. If the perpetrators came to jesus at the end, they're in heaven. Be honest to yourself.
@@justincredible.
Stop the nonsense.. you sound foolish.
You rats got what was coming to you .
I'm so sorry
😂
I did a documentary on this in high school. Such a bad time in history I hope this never happens again. All those people didn’t do anything an they didn’t deserve it. God have peace on there souls.
To think that irine had to live the rest of her life alone. Wondering if her little sister ever met back up with her mother. Or died alone. 😔
Absolutely heartbreaking. I thought the same.
Thankfully/luckily, Irene’s older sister survived Auschwitz with her so she wasn’t completely alone after the war. They both emigrated to the United States too.

To everyone out there, there will be justice done. It may not come in this life but it will come. "Vengeance is mine. Says the Lord." He promised it and He will do it.
Amen 🙏
I appreciate all of these videos and testimonials.
@Mary. I am a greek christ.orthod
But i feel so much pain for all jews until know every time i remember and hear from my parents what the f@@@@@g germans did for no reason!!!!!
I was last week in Auschwits it was a horrible place to visit! I was so sad think of all those human beings passed that way it broke my heart may they all RIP
This by far is the best description of the events and camp building etc I have seen to date
Fascinating and brilliantly done. Even àfter all these decades this subject is still horrifying
I watch a lot of documentaries and read a lot of books on the Holocaust. There is no one in my family who understands why I am so interested in this time in history 😢
They're too lazy to think. That's all
Rest In Peace all the victims of the Holocaust’s.
Amen
Awwwwwww
Amen and hope the monsters that participated in the prosecution of the victims are burning in hell for eternity
@@bowlnow824 This is a bunch of lies. The communists in Soviet Union are the ones who committed atrocities.
AMEN. Let the world not haves another evils like the Nazis anymore. God bless all the leaders on the globe.
This is why we must call out antisemitism! This isn’t ancient history. Survivors are still here to warn us. Thank you for watching and caring.
The first prisoners in Auschwitz were Poles; these camp were build for Poles. 3 million Poles were murdered by germans. Get educated. Jews, who became prisoners in Auschwitz much later, were not the only victims in WW2.
@@hotshot6674 More Catholics died in Auschwitz than any other religion
On a historical scale this happened yesterday
This aged well
What is at the End Of Life, either you believe or you don't, it does not change the out come, the time to decide is now! 🙏🧎♀️✝️✡️ 🫶 🫴🕊
God bless all that suffered in the death camps.I will always remember them and so will my children🙏🏻
It’s disturbing to me that the nazis could live such normal lives with wives and kids and do this to people.
To think that some people believe none of these events happened. An atrocity that should never have happened
Right? People that deny this stuff are nuts. It's such a dark and tragic part of history.
Many still deny it and that's how the totalitarians are setting up a repeat of it so easily.
Nuts 🌰
I still can't understand how there could be so much hate and evil, Still happening maybe not on this scale but we should never let this holocaust be forgotten and the people who never made it out never be forgotten ☘
That’s all everyone ever says, remember this Holocaust but don’t ever mention any of the other ones because only this one was important…
@@ssherrierable Of course I remember and think of others Im from Ireland so I know how it feels to come from an oppressed country, But it's the scale and the enormity of what the Nazi's did it was unbelievable and just so evil.. So if you can elaborate on ur comment I could understand you more??
@@eoinyessesmaguire1636 well said
The HOLOCAUSTS NEVER END.....LOOK AT QATAR .....
@@jpakos6701 And look at the 97yr old who was only sentenced to 2yr suspended I know 97 but she went on the run last yr at 96🤣 Ah know it still shows people and more importantly the law still care, She was a secretary at one of the camps...
This lady is so sweet. She’s terribly disappointed in mankind and in 2023 it’s a shame but it’s still the same. SMH.
How can a person take photographs without emotion? How can he see people and not SEE them as fellow humans when he is literally focusing his lens on faces?
May he burn in hell!!!!!
I have been asking myself the same questions. How could this man take photographs of little children, look into their eyes, knowing they were to be murdered, then return home to his wife and his own children?
The only answer is that he was brainwashed to believe that the Jews were not human. That is why he showed no remorse and suffered no guilt after the war because, even years later, he believed the lies of the Nazis.
God bless the souls of the millions of innocents slaughtered, and may the souls of the perpetrators suffer eternal purgatory. 😭😭🤬🤬
Oscar grunny is narcissistic n mentally psycho to say such horrible things about esp.children.they make me sick🤮🤮🤮
Oh God please give your refuge n love to these innocent children of yours.Dear Lord Almighty Krishna give shelter to these people who believed in you . Destroy the perpetrators by Undefeatable Power 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️
I can.... but.its part of being a photographer...otherwise you'd be crying over every photo. It's just like working the ER
I just can’t believe how anyone can send children, babies, mothers, old people to the gaz chambers! I’m heartbroken..😢😢 And after “work” can go home to their families and hug their own children , eat big meals , taking warm bathes , celebrating parties and christmas - while the inmates are starving, freezing, living in dirt!
You are seeing something worse these days : parents volunteer themselves & their children to the state to be injected with poison due to a lie called PLANdeMIC & they believe this should be doing constantly.
Some children of Nazis also had bad ends.
This should be shown in every history class in America
Sadly most schools these days want to focus on gender studies and ignore history completely.
America is done
When I was in high school in the 1960s it was taught. But now it apparently is not....and today look what is happening in 2024....Juden being written on store fronts in America, calls to boycott Jewish owned businesses, calling for the genocide of Israel.
This will never happen. American public schools are too worried about common core math, gender identity and other nonsense.
*I notice that more and more people are denying this ever happened.*
There were no 'deniers' right after the war because there were too many people who saw proof with their own eyes. But as more and more of the witnesses passed on, the deniers started to become more. _This should tell you something about the people who say it never happened. More specifically, their lack of courage._
Today the deniers outnumber the survivors. I'm saddened that in a generation this will only be seen as a myth. (despite the visual and written evidence)
You mean Muslims?
What makes it worse is the Internet is no longer the greatest repository of information it used to be; now, with trolls, fakes, deep fakes, and the introduction of AI photo creation, you can't trust even visual evidence. There's a channel on UA-cam that pads their content with AI created photos of the camps and victims; how long until the deniers point to ANY photo and even video and claim it's faked?
I just don't understand. I really don't. Even today, why is there so much hate for other people. Whether religion, skin color, sexuality, it makes no sense. People are people first. Everything else comes after.
51:36 What do you expect? You throw JESUS CHRIST from your midst then that leaves nothing but Satan and evil to reign. Which in turn breeds men and women hating one another, etc. This country is gone and will never come back. Perilous times are right ahead. Everyone I meet on the street calls themselves Christians,but live their lives any ole way, totally ignoring GODS word. 51:36
Demons live in us, that’s why
R.I.P. to all the victims who died at the concentration camps so sad listening to this documentary…
it fills me with rage that these things happened. I can only imagine what it felt like for those people at the time. I wish there was someway I could go back in time and somehow save these people.
Well, fortunately, enough, a whole bunch of their children survived, and they’re still alive today so you can ask them about what it was like to be murdered
I agree
In this era too there are such existing persons who abuse others mentally and emotionally,there are evil people around us ,only way is figuring out whom do we mingle with and be with and stay away in the most possible way.
This is happening today. In Ukraine. And we all watch it happening conveniently, sitting on our couches. People are the same cruel
🎉😢there will always be hatred for us jews. Why! There was no one to protect us.
A deeply chilling, tragic documentary. I was moved and profoundly disturbed watching it, as well as being furious and disgusted. It's a grim warning for today's democracies - many people now are willing to relinquish their rights: to allow protests to be silenced and governments to pass fascistic laws. Our civil liberties, our human rights are precious things. We have a duty to resist anyone who wishes to wrest them from us.
"He hadn't noticed any killings." So where did he think all the people went after they came in? I mean, at some point, you have to wonder why the camp is always able to take in new loads of people.
I'm a distant cousin of Witold Pilecki. My mother was Marie Pilecki. We complain about our lives. They had it HARD!!! We must NEVER FORGET!
Very sad history on humanity, i weep as i watch but i always come back!
Man’s inhumanity to man. 💔
It was a war of extermination. They weren't gonna be nice about it.
😓😓😓
So horrible. It still happening in some areas of the world to some extent. Not thankfully to this extent
Yeah 🙏us lot if those beautiful people slaughtered man kidz these days need to know did✌️❤️
Key word being "man". I'm well aware that there were a great number of female guards that killed and tortured the prisoners, but this sort of thing always starts with man. Why is that?
Some people say why do we care about what happened then, because we should never,never see that kind of cruelty again!!!!!
My late Mother and her family arrived in Auschwitz on May 31. 1944. Her parents and grandparents and aunt with her 3 year old boy were gassed on arrival. My Grandmother was one of 10 siblings. The only survivor among them lost his first wife and four children.
😢
😢
My moms mom survived Auschwitz her sister lily and parents were killed there . 3 of her sisters survived they were in hiding her name was Etyu Roth my other grandmother was Erna Hutterer Freilich also was in Aushwitz
Great documentary and it should never be forgotten.
Just people the same as the rest of us put through this inhumane torture.Most disgusting thing I,ve ever seen.May we never see this evil again.
God bless these poor people. It must have been a hell on earth.
Ms. Irene is absolutely correct about mankind- absolute animals! I love how dignified she is after all the evil that happened to her and her entire family. She's not bitter and appreciates that she lived to tell the oral history of this dark time.
I still can not believe that the world looked the other way while 6 million men, women, and children were murdered! Even the United States turned away Jews fleeing Europe. Refused to let them in as refugees. Evil is very real. We must never let this happen to anyone ever again. 🌿🕊🤍🕯🕎
My grandmother came to United States when the Nazis invaded Austria. She was only 20 years old.
It's shocking to know how many people were involved organizing the many camps and agreeing to participate. And, I wonder how long it took for the camps to be organized, cleaned up, finding relatives for the survivors, etc. And, after all of the damage that was done, where did the Germans, SS etc. hope to live? I wish I could comfort the many who lost their lives.
It all could have been stopped. Historical tragedy. God bless the victims and all their loved ones. God knows everything. Prayers 🙏.
Speaking of this terrible German atrocity, one must tell an absolutely whole and complete story. In this film, nothing is said about the murder in this camp, not only Jews, but also huge numbers of Poles, Roma and Soviet prisoners of war, it is a huge disrespect and lack of memory for these victims.
The main goal was Jews
Such a cruel& unimaginable thing for humans to do to others!!
You should see how Americans treat incarcerated Americans prison guards and staff dehumanized inmates all the time. Btw there were a lot of actual criminals in these concentration camps as well.
You ever study what the US did to native Americans?
War is the same.
Excellent Documentary.
Now that was one of the most intense Documentaries on Auschwitz that I have ever listened to……and I have listened and read a lot on the subject
To think of those poor children that had got separated from parents, or had arrived on their own and had to go to their deaths alone ❤
This breaks my heart
