The JUSTIFIED Execution Of The Female Guards Of Bergen-Belsen
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 тра 2024
- Towards the end of the Second World War, the British liberated Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp, and they were greeted by a sight of death, disease and depravity. Belsen has gone down in infamy as a place synonymous with Nazi war crimes, but what shocked the liberators was the fact that many of the SS guards had remained inside the camp. Dozens of thousands of prisoners were left at the camp, and were slowly dying of disease and starvation, and around 13,000 dead bodies were unburied around the camp. The British acted to stop the Typhus epidemic that was killing so many, and then forced the Nazi guards to help to bury the dead.
Bergen-Belsen was a camp that became hugely overcrowded, and following its liberation a number of the guards who were arrested were brought to trial. What shocked many around the world was the fact many of the guards charged with murder and immense cruelty and brutality were young women. These women were placed on trial at the Belsen Trials, and many received prison sentences, but there were 3 despicable women who received death sentences and were executed by Albert Pierrepoint for their horrific crimes at Belsen and Auschwitz. Irma Grese, Elisabeth Volkenrath and Johanna Borman were sent to the gallows for their crimes against humanity. Grese was only 21/22 when she was executed, Volkenrath wasn't much older but the stories of their barbarism and violent tendencies resulting in the punishment and murder of prisoners shocked the court rooms. All 3 were found guilty of murdering prisoners with their hands of with weapons, and were even accused of setting their dogs on prisoners and shooting them indiscriminately.
It was British Executioner Albert Pierrepoint who took the lives of Grese, Volkenrath and Borman at Hamelin Prison. There were men sentenced to death and executed that day, including Josef Kramer the Beast of Belsen. There were other war crimes trials that brought other staff who worked at concentration camps to justice, but the events at Bergen-Belsen lived long in the memory and haunted many of the men who liberated the camp.

My grandfather was one of the many British soldiers who liberated Bergen-Belsen and he was so mortified at the sight of people of all ages completely emaciated and broken down. He emigrated to the US a half dozen years later and he passed away in 2018 at age 101.
Will God forgive them
Wow. He was and is a hero. God bless him.
The same, my grandfather was at belsen. Because the people were starving they were given sweets my the troops. Sadly and unknown to the troops this was exactly what you shouldn’t do and a quite a few died as a result of that.
I love the elderly and their stories because you can learn a lot from them. I bet your grandfather had many tales to tell.
My apology for the original comment as re-reading it does make my words and thoughts extremely insensitive. Rather than delete it, I edit to correct myself
I lost one uncle in WWII. I never knew him, but I like to keep his memory alive by telling this story. He was just 19 years old and died just a little more than a week before the war ended as they were crossing the Rhine. He was shot by a German sniper. On the day he was killed, my mother's younger siblings were in the front yard, and my mother & grandmother were sitting on the porch shelling field peas. They all remember that my grandmother stood up suddenly calling out her son's name and fainted. No one knew why she did this. The doctor was called. He was worried she'd had a heart attack, and they kept her in bed for days. A week or more later, they received a wire notifying them that he'd been killed. They had the option of letting him remain buried at Henri-Chappelle Belgium, where a US cemetery was being made.... or to have him sent home for burial. My grandmother begged he be brought home... but my grandfather, who'd fought in France during WWI, refused. He said it was likely the body sent wouldn't even be his, and it would only make my grandmother ill again. My mother (23 at the time) argued that at least they would be bringing home someone's son, brother, or husband. But my grandfather steadfastly refused, and so my uncle RJ is still buried there along with thousands of other American soldiers. The lack of closure haunted my mother for decades. I became friends with a man in Belgium through a Garth Brooks fan site. I had told him about my uncle at some point... and then one day, he emailed me pictures of the grave along with a red rose he put there. I found out my uncle's unit and went on a veteran's website and actually found someone who had known him and remembered his death. I copied the pictures for my mom and then asked if she'd like to talk to the man... She did, and it seemed to bring her great peace to know he hadn't just died alone in the mud.
OMG!,!!
Remember his name 😊

Gave me chills reading this, I also had an uncle who was shot up badly on the first wave of D day that morning at 7.30 my grandma bolted up out of bed and said, Harry is calling me at the door I must let him in. My uncle Harry survived with bad injuries and later admitted he shouted for his mum when he got shot.
My grandmas brother was a 19 yr old British soldier here, he died aged 36 a broken man, my grandma said “your uncle Frank never got over what he saw” very sad..
Condolences to Jonny BMX: Our father left Germany before 1940--guess they saw trouble a comin and escaped early ? Pls give this song "I Still Care" to your grandmother ? some found it healing.
Everyone please go listen to " From the Halls of Montezuma to the Shores of Tripoli!" It' make you REMEMBER what we don't want to HAVE to see much more OF in the future; Because Howdy Doody wants so desperately to " stay in his placed position" as a " war president" in full support of the military industrial complex..we may not HAVE much of a "future ?" We Love our Marines, and we love having a strong
MILITARY, but.BE PREPARED DON'T BE SCARED.!
Hitler's GONE and he STILL continues to ignore his own country's needs, while traveling around the world causing havoc and confusion for others. Howdy Doody also has his "deal " in place for anti-radiation pills with Pyzer ..but, of course, that video was taken down within twenty-four hours, along with the deleted video of his trip to the VATICAN, at which he soiled the pope's chair, and was asked to "Please not return!"
Joe's best bet is to connect with Sean Penn and see if there's maybe a part for him to play in their new DRAMA... They'll probably title it something attractive to the MILITARY; however, the comedic version might be more realistic and be granted a closer to the truth
title , such as.... " Dominion, Diversions and Distractions for the Dumb?". I'm sure you won't be seeing any decent appropriate CLIPS of what happened in Afghanistan in it, nor any references to what happened to the investigators involved in the "Nashville Bombing and Comedy of Errors.... for, in order to keep the PUBLICH OCCUPIED AND DECEIVED, ( Dolly will probably enjoy describing her donations to the experimental vaccine in that one ? ) it will have to include much fiction and some great sarcastic remarks by Tucker Carlson, in order to survive as a Romantic Comedy! I Sincerely hope I'm wrong about some of the above.

What year did your Grand-Uncle die? He was way too young to die!
May God Bless You and those whom you love!
@SpaceAce100...1962-63.
My grandma put some spiders eggs and baloney sandwiches in my bed 🛌🕷️🧎🏼♀️👈
My uncle died a broken man too. He was older than my Dad so took part in the war proper. He returned to England but was never the same. War is a terrible thing.
My father was with the British troops that liberated the camp in 1945. He only ever spoke about it once with me and never again. He suffered terribly from PTSD his whole life and I am sure that many of his horrific nightmares were caused by what he saw at Bergen-Belsen. RIP dearest Dad.
Who is your Dad? What force did he fight in or why was he in here?

@@amitm1993 Just like you don't give a damn about the fact that his father fought the Naziz, who killed six million of my people (not to mention two million Gypsies and millions of Russians and others), I couldn't care less about what the British did to you.
@@amitm1993 You are absolutely right, Nazis were not the only bad people who did evil stuff, you already mentioned the British, the Russian, the French, Ok and how about the Islamic Empires who ethnically cleansed all the Jews and Christians from Saudi Arabia? who conquered the Byzantine and the Sasanian Empires, who invaded Europe, took Spain, killed all the Jews there (the Granada massacre of 1066), and in other places, who put a tax on non-Muslims (Jizya) and other limitations (like for prohibition non-Muslims to ride on a horse or building new churches or synagogues) only for not being Muslims.
And what about Genghis Khan killing approximately 40 million people during his conquests (and how many women were r*ped during this?). the Aztec empire conquered and subjugated local ethnic groups, dispersed them throughout the empire to break down traditional community ties, and of course, killed thousands of them for human sacrifices, do you care about this? And don't forget the Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, and Persians who conquered, subjected, and enslaved other nations, other ethnic groups, and I can go on and on..I am not talking here about some bad apples of mankind, THIS IS mankind for most of history.
Did I include everyone you wanted or do you want someone specific?
The true tragedy is how nobody ever talks about the Japanese atrocities during the war that were every bit as bad as the Nazis whose crimes are brought up constantly even to this day while there were no trials to hang the Japanese that tortured our own military men in concentration camps every bit as horrible and alot of people don't even know about it
They were worse if you can imagine that
Yup! Because Japan became an ally, and they even regarded them as honorable warriors. Really makes me puke. Rapists, murderes, thiefs, robbers, etc… 🤮
5,000 Japanese were guilty of war crimes, of whom more than 900 were executed.
I read that they would bury captive soldiers in the ground with their head sticking out the ground and then cover their heads with honey and watch them get stung to death by massive hornets
Это политика... Отвлекают внимание.
A friend of my mother's, Sonia, was on her way to Dachau in a box car. The other people and her came up with a plan to get out of the car before they got to Dachau. The first girl who jumped out of the car was shot by guards that were on top of the car. Other people escaped and ran into the woods. When Sonia jumped out, she was knocked out on the rails. When guards came along after the train, they saw her and nudged her with their gun. She didn't move or respond, so they thought she was dead and kept walking. The people waiting in the woods went to get her and they all were able to get out of the country. She told us her story when I was about 5 years old. Her story made such an impact on me that I have remembered it all these years. I'm almost 60 now.
Im sure one could never forget such a story. How brave they were. I d love to know the rest of their story. Where did they escape t and how did they survive.
My Grandpa was a POW at the Nagoya in Honshu in Japan. He spent years in hospital in recovery after the years of torture. Most don’t know, but those of us who loved the men who suffered at the hands of their tormentors won’t ever forget.
When you think of how much more could have been done to attempt to obtain some measure of justice against Germany and how so much less was done against the Japanese.....Imperial Japan was just as brutal and responsible for perhaps twice or three times the deaths of non-combatants as was Nazi Germany. Today, few know anything about it. The victims aren't remembered as they should be, as they deserve to be. We can't adequately remember the European Holocaust but the Asian Holocaust isn't even acknowledged. God Bless your Grandfather and all who served to stop evil in the Pacific theater.
@@maddieteddie553 Thank you for your blessings. Those of is who lived with the aftermath have a responsibility to share the stories.
Most people don't know that the Japanese were also horrific to astonishing degrees. I can't even read the entire Wikipedia entry on U732. It makes me nauseous to even read about them.
The people who run everything from behind the curtain in western society didn't suffer at the hands of the Japanese so the trials of the Japanese was not given the attention it should have , this is what the Germans were trying to overcome but failed to do so since America was (and still is) a puppet state of those people.
You hardly hear about what Japan did to people but they were just as bad as Germans or worst
My great grandfather was a prisoner at that camp, his crime was being a labour leader refusing to work for the nazis. He had 5 sons, 1 ended up in the English army, 1 fled to Norway, 3 ended up in the resistance out of those 3, 2 where shot by the Nazis. My grandfather was in the resistance and survived. The last year of the war he was forced underground, the Nazis tried to capture him, they came to his house, my grandmother was there with my little aunt and uncle, 4 and 9, the Danish snitch accompanying the SS/gestapo, tried to make her talk, my grandmother refused and told the snitch they would get them after the war, they almost beat her to death in front of her children.
When the war ended the Gestapo tried to flee, with their snitches to Flensburg, they got ambushed and every one got shot, no survivers.
When my grandfather died, we found handgrenades, pistols, and a machine gun in the attic, carefully wrapped in oilskin.
He was never the same, became a drunk, and the only job he could hold onto was a graveyard tender. But was always a kind mand, but broken, i guess you would call it PTSD today.
He never forgave the Germans.
Sad
You should get yourself a writer and write a book. Sounds sad but very interesting.
@@jobentley6583 it is just a family tale from a war torn europe plenty of those. Nothing remarkeble.

Despite Democrat leadership, MSM and Democrat supporters calling the event an insurrection to date ZERO people have been charged with "insurrection" David. Yet David, am sure you are like all the others and do not ask why 200+ people arrested inside the building on Jan6th were released on the direct request of the FBI/CIA/DHS/DOJ and a multitude of other Government Authorities. What did they do to get arrested David? And why were these people ALL released when application was made to have them released without CHARGE.
What happened to Ray Epps David? You do know who he is don't you? He is the man who was calling on people to go to Capital Hill on Jan 6th and protest. He was also the man filmed on Jan6th speaking to someone who immediately tore a barrier down allowing people into the Capital Hill grounds. He was on the FBI's MOST wanted list straight after Jan 6th David yet 6 months later he disappeared off that list yet had not been interviewed, arrested etc. Ah, and BTW he works for the FBI David (and was an organiser of the assault on Capital Hill) yet do not see you or other Democrats asking why he is no longer wanted by FBI David. So many questions about Jan6th still unasked or unanswered David yet you have all the info don't you?
Thank you.. my dad was in charge of an RAF rescue and recovery unit stationed at Celle when Belsen was discovered.. very close to Belsen and who had the heavy equipment needed for digging mass graves... he had nightmares the rest of his life.
Two bits of info.. he had to face off Checz soldiers with his revolver who wanted to murder the SS guards.. and he also insisted that the SS officers dug graves and didn't simply watch their soldiers... got in trouble for that.
The British were told not to give food to the prisoners as it was thought that anything rich might kill them... but he turned a blind eye when his men passed bars of chocolate into the huts.
The female guards were first imprisoned at Celle and I have photographs of them.. which I have passed on to Elvington air museum. A story that needed telling. He also had photos of the camp and the terror.. I wanted to pass those onto a museum but he insisted on destroying them.
How can a human being do something like this..? Be so cruel to a fellow man..?
I have no words...💔
God bless the people who stopped the madness❤
My father was also a tank commander of one of the first British regiments to free the survivors of Belsen.
The majority of his regiment all died of cancer up to 25yrs later, because of the orders to spread DDT to kill off the vermin, the camp was not in a good state, he said they ate, slept and breathed in the awful powdered stuff which the winds used to whip up. He too only ever spoke of it once to my brother and I. He was very emotional and said don’t ever forget what I have told you. I will not speak of it again. So to anyone who is of the belief that the Holocaust never happened, please remember this video and all those who survived the Nazi atrocities, I am sure they all dealt with a form of what we now call PTSD in their own way. My father and many of his regiment paid the ultimate price as well, albeit many years later. Nothing is so cruel as mans inhumanity to man.
Amazing comment. God bless your father.
Beautiful testimony. G-d bless your father and all that worked along side him.

The reluctance to re-tell these stories is a very common thing among those that were there in amongst the action. My Grandfather, as you've mentioned came back from WWII with PTSD. My Nan said he was definitely not the same man that left to go to war 6 years earlier. My Uncle and Nan were the only people that passed on the stories both saying that my Grandad just didn't talk about it and they themselves knew only small pieces of his story. Which I think goes to show how unimaginably horrific it all was, I don't think anyone that has lived since will have witnessed anything a fraction as awful as WWII and could ever perceive the horrors involved. We owe the people the went through this a massive debt for the peace, prosperity and freedom that we've lived through and it scares me how some of the current world leaders seem poised to contemplate war and aggression as an answer to political issues.
My mother was liberated on April 15, 1945 and gave testimony at the bergen trial. 25 years later to the day, April 15 1970, as Apollo 13 was about to go behind the moon my mother remarked how respect for every life can bring the world together, while teaching hate can destroy it.
I'm truly sorry your mother had to go through that, that anyone had to go through it is despicable and heartbreaking. God bless you and prayers for your family. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏merry Christmas everyone. 🙏🙏🎅🤶🍭🎄❄☃️⛄🌲👍🏻👍🏻

My father was one of the British service men who liberated Belsen. He found it difficult to speak about it. He died in 1972 of cancer from tuberculosis scars on the lining of the chest wall yet he was never ever diagnosed or treated for tuberculosis during his lifetime. He once said that he had seen enough of man’s inhumanity to man. He hated the women guards for what they did….never understood it!
As I age (a lot!) I sometimes wonder whether 'something' is preparing me for the grave. I understand exactly what you mean by 'seen enough'. (But it goes far beyond seeing, too.) There does, indeed, 'come a time'; and I know for certain that other animals recognise that. (perhaps THEY never went to Sunday School!😕
I want to express my gratitude to your late father for putting an end to this hellish war.
Did you ever ask him how cruel British was ? Have he ever said about British atrocities in India- Andaman cellular jail ?
There is not a single country, ethnicity or religion that hasn’t perpetrated atrocities against others at some time. At this time the people of Ukraine are under constant brutal assault due to Vladimir Putin, recently a coup was carried out in Myanmar. Women are brutalized by Muslims in many middle eastern countries. China and Xi are carrying out genocide against the Uighurs,seized Hong Kong and it looks like Taiwan is next. God only knows how many people are being brutalized in Africa. The US has a long, murderous and bigoted history, against native Americans, African Americans, Asian Americans, Latinos, Jews and women. It doesn’t seem like much has changed. Hatred of fellow Americans is thick in the air and the Republican Party has abandoned democracy. They have won fairly no federal election since 1988. They got busy figuring out how they could maintain the levers of power in spite of being about 35% of the population. Now, with their illegitimate supreme court, they have begun rolling back rights. Don’t think they won’t eventually come for yours. I think they intend this country to become a Christian theocracy. First they took control of women’s bodies and now they are villainizing Trans Americans, with the LGB community on deck. They’ve been angry since the civil rights and voting rights Acts passed in the mid sixties. Electing a black man as president sent them over the edge. I don’t understand why we seem unable to appreciate every person’s humanity. Human beings are dangerous and ever in pursuit of power.
@@dabbbles; Speaking of Sunday School, just yesterday I realized how Evil, Selfish, Cruel, Controlling, and domineering those Who go to Sunday School can be!
My father was in the British army stationed in the area of Belsen until late 1947. He told me the army's telephone exchange was based at Belsen and it never worked well - it was common knowledge that the soldiers based there were all a bit "crazy" (suffering from PTSD in today's terms) because of what they'd seen there. Dad often used to talk about it. He'd seen horrific things when fighting, but not on the scale the soldiers at Belsen saw. I didn't realise so many of them died of cancer due to the DDT. They were true heroes. Meanwhile my Mum had PTSD her whole life because of living through the blitz in London as a child - they were "bombed out" and homeless for a while, and the family next door all died from the bomb, including the children. The Nazis left a very long shadow on the lives of that generation.
It seems so surreal .
Yes my mother was left with mental problems after living in London east end during the war..
Did you ever ask him how cruel British was ? Have he ever said about British atrocities in India- Andaman cellular jail ?
And yet the MAGA bums in the U.S. seem to worship the Nazis.
@@bimbilikkibilappi1197 He wouldn't have known anything about that. He was a conscript just for WW2 and never went out of Europe - demobbed from the army in late 1947. Don't forget there was no internet then and no TV either - people knew nothing except what they read in local newspapers.
My mother was held there as a prisoner and got released by Canadian soldiers after the war. She was instrumental of bringing a lot of SS and German guards to court where they got the death sentence but a lot escaped. But the Israelis never stopped looking for them and got most over the years hiding in different countries and changed their names. But they got found, all the way to Australia and New Zealand and south seas islands.
Changed tbeir names sounds like the chosen ones do
Jews change their names too.
And now israel is a state belonging to one special ethnicity, claiming the land as jewish promosed land. How can we be saying nazi be wrong with their special people claim while can't say the same to Zionist in Israel?
@@yahya-kulawibusinessservic8005 They are special only in their own minds. They are as bad as the Nazis.
@ Yahya Etalase Koi Blitar stop lying. The Jews in Israel were always under fire of Arabs living in and around them. As of today we hear that indigenous people of different countries claim their lands. Are they same like Nazis according to your idea? There are a lot of Arabs living in Israel. All they have to do - start living in peace with Israelites.
In the mid 90s I met a man who survived Belsen. He wrote a book of his experiences. What struck me most was the anguish and anger that this man carried into his writing and in his conversation. He survived but he suffered a life sentence of trauma. Have no doubt, the guards in this video deserved the justice they received.

I used to live in Bergen Belsen, My regiment was based in Haig barracks, the area is beautiful, I visited the camp.... once... the whole feeling of the place was fking horrible, my wife used to be a bus escort for the school bus, one of the drivers (Edgar) was a survivor of Belsen, Edgar and I were chatting one day, while the wife was sorting out the kids, I asked Edgar, why after everything that he had been through did he stay in the area?, his answer..... he stayed in Bergen Belsen because that's where his mother, two sisters and brother were, he was the only survivor of his whole family.
My mom's parents, grandparents, 6 cousins and all 4 aunts and uncles were murdered in this camp. I'm amazed at how many of those bastards escaped punishment.
You can thank the Vatican for that. They were in the Nazi death camps, funded the war and ran the rat line to get them out of Germany. Pope rat singer was a Nazi. None of those bastards ever answered for any of this. I challenge you to go down that Vatican rabbit hole.
They might have escaped human justice but not Divine Judgement.
I’m so sorry Roy! May God bless their souls..so incredibly sad how evil those murderers were. We can never forget the holocaust!
How can anybody thumbs up this comment? His family were murdered
Adolf body was never verified by either ussr or usa. He fled with many other high rank officials to South America.
My grandfather was murdered in Bergen, my grandmother died a year after her liberation, she became ill thanks to the poor conditions they had to survive in, my grandfather does not even have his own grave, hes buried in one of the mass graves in Bergen-Belsen.
I hope all the former camp guards suffered before they died.
May their names be for a blessing.
May their memories be a blessing.
I’m very sorry for your loss 😔
Starvation and Typhus was rampant during WW2.
so very sorry for you and all the victims, yes, such evil sociopaths I'm sure suffered, bc they have no soul and they were made to pay for their atrococities
My grandfather was one of the first British soldiers to enter Belsen, he never told us anything of what he saw. He went to war at 19yrs old a lovely looking young man and returned nearly grey haired.
War is hell for everyone involved in the conflict.
That was my uncle LLoyd in WW2 On the Kokoda Track and elsewhere in New Guinea
My uncle was captured on Corregidor in WWII
Imprisoned in Siberia for 3 years
Read several books from men in same camp
Japanese didn’t even consider them human
They stole wood from caskets of dead men to stay warm
They only got 1 bucket of coal a day
They called the trip the death March
He lived to 97
They castrated him so he never had children
Never married
There was no better man
God bless your uncle and you….always pass down his story
Mate Siberia was never in the Japanese areas of Control It was always Russian
He was most likely in Mukden, Manchuria. There was a complex of several camps there. The Japs tried to use this site as a support repair depot, but there was little or no cooperation from the POWs. I know this because my father survived the Bataan Death March and all the hell that followed. He was in Mukden #3.

These vlogs of your are important because schools are sugar coating the war as a means of not traumatising the children .we all need to know what really happened so that we can never allow this to happen again. The world is full of dreadful abuse and people seem anaesthetised to it.
Thankyou for your posts xx
Wonder why the United States Caste System is supported by denial of its foundation from Genocide and Slavery?
I had great teachers that taught real history. It was after I graduated that discipline, respect, parent's rights and morality started to disappear.
We all watched The Holocaust series when we were kids in the 70's. If you showed that to kids now, CPS would prolly knock on your door.
Just a little tip for anyone dealing with CPS - when they come to visit, make sure to cross dress all your kids, and give them all gender bender names for the afternoon. Act like it's no big deal and totally normal.
CPS will give you a medal instead.
@@dfloyd2279 Every nation is founded on a version of genocide and slavery. Get over yourself.
@@dfloyd2279 name a nation who's foundation wasn't found on genocide and or slavery. If you can name one, why don't you move there? No nation in the history of the world has done more for countries and their people. We have fought and died on our own soil and abroad for peoples freedom and civil rights for over 200 years. Do some research and learn where, when and why slavery started. Sadly it's been around for thousands of years, and it is NOT the fault of the United States.
As soon as humans start to think of another group of humans as “the other” and then dehumanize them, as if they are animals or monsters, this is what happens. Gone on for centuries, still going on today. When will we ever learn?
Exactly. Vaccinated against non vaccinated. Wake up!
And That is exactly what the American Democrats are doing now. I was a life long Democrat until I realized recently that they became the new Nazis. I could no longer stay with a Hate Group.

@@kamakaziozzie3038 Too late for such sentiment: The slaughter is built into our genes after a billion years of evolution. All other animals behave the same way.

My family lived thru the War in The Hague. I was born in 1961, and have lived all my life with the pervasive notion of all that suffering. When I’m cold, tired, hungry, etc. I think of these people suffering 100 times worse than anything I can imagine. I will live that way until I die.
I used to see a woman a few times a week named Benny. Her husband was in a care facility for dementia patients. Her husband was a B-24 pilot and had been shot down and captured by the Germans. When he was captured he was 190 pounds. Pretty big guy for the time. He was sent to a luft Stalag and around 10 months later when his camp was liberated he was 84 pounds and near death. He managed to live, recover, and have a wonderful family with Benny. She was the sweetest person ever.
I can't help to think that when we watch gun camera footage of allied fighters and bombers strafing trains and trucks, that some of those targets were trying to take food and medicine to the prison camps.
Because the Allied bombed so many civilian targets (ie FOOD) most people in Germany were starving to death, not just in the camps. Blame the warmongers in London and DC for that.

I spent 12 years in Germany as a British Infantry soldier, 11 of them in Celle, quite close to Bergen-Belsen. We went on a platoon day out to Bergen-Belsen and it is spooky, just mounds really with plaques in front saying so many 1000's are buried here
And these fools all over the world deny it even happened. I wish they could come up with a way to show them the same way those poor people suffered and then let us tell these deniers it didn't happen to them. 😊

While in high school in the 70s, I had a Geography Teacher who was in the British Army in WW2. He never talked about the war and we never knew he was a Veteran until one day before Remembrance Day. He looked out the window with that 1000 yard stare and his face went pale as his mind went to a very dark place. He told us about his unit liberating Bergen-Belsen, how they thought all the atrocities were all Russian propaganda up until that time. They tried to feed the prisoners with the rations they carried but were told to stop because that could kill them as their bodies were so emaciated. One event that stood out in particular in his mind was when an SS guard didn’t get away in time and tried to hide amongst the prisoners wearing a prisoner’s uniform. The inmates pointed him out, but what really stood out was that he appeared well-fed. A soldier from his unit took his Enfield rifle and swung it by the muzzle like a baseball bat bludgeoning the SS guard to death, without a single person to stop him. He said that if the fact that he did nothing to stop him made him a war criminal, then he’s a war criminal.
I gained a lot of respect for him that day. Before then, I thought of him as a kind-hearted and gentle teacher of young minds who wouldn’t hurt a fly. After that, I realized that he was a true hero who stepped up when civilization was in peril of descending into a barbarism the world hadn’t seen in centuries, if ever. We tried to get him to tell us more of his war stories, but he never did. The painful scars of PTSD I suppose.
The Executioner gave them more courtesy than those scumbags gave the camp prisoners.

For many year a large group of us toured europe visiting Commonwealth war grave from world war 1 and 2. On a trip one year to Arnhem in Holland we visited a bar along with us was my father who was Irish and I am English by birth. At the bar sat a middle aged lady very quiet and solemn. She noticed our accents and asked are you British ? We replied yes and she insisted on buying us all a beer. My father said he felt guilty accepting a drink as while he has lived in England for 50 years he was Irish. She then starting crying and said to the barman 2 beers for my father. You went on to say that the Irish Guards had liberated her mother from Bergen Belsen and would til the day she died be forever in their debt. It was the most poignant e experience we had until the next when we met 2 servicemen who had come to see a fallen pal at Arnhem they told us they had been the first group into Belsen and after 50 years could still smell it.
Even on the verge of death those women look defiant, extremely mean and unrepent. I can't even imagine the fear of those prisoners at the camp facing those evils every day knowing that they could end your life at any time. Thank you for this video and all the others.
Why wouldn't they look defiant? They'd done nothing wrong. (ask any of them) 'Losing' is something you don't like, but it's nothing to be ashamed about, as long as you did your best. (Consider the bomber-crews who flattened undefended German cities full of 'non-combatants'; or nuked Japan/etc.etc. What IS to be hated and stamped out is the social machinery that engineers and 'rationalises' such atrocities:- The 'world-Leaders' and politicians and bureaucrats and such. There wouldn't have been a single 'war-criminal' if not for the existence of the nazis, nor a single nuclear-bomber-pilot if not for American Democracy. The true evil lies lies in the stupidity and gutlessness of the Great Unwashed that not only allows it to be done 'in their name' but also hands over, on demand, their money to finance it! Taxpayers everywhere should be ashamed of themselves! Very ashamed! (and if you have a CLOSE look you'll see Mr &Mrs Taxpayer wearing those same "defiant, extremely mean and unrepentent'. exressions worn by those convicted women.

Thank you for telling the history about this horrific transgression. I had a history teacher in junior high school who told our class that the reason we are taught history is to learn from those who came before us. He went on to explain that we are taught about the heroes of our past for inspiration, but more importantly we must learn about the evils done so that we do not ever repeat them and most importantly so we will see when someone is trying to and to stop them. I have never forgotten his words from that day and how important it is to learn all history. I believe in today's world with our governments all over having a lot of corruption and using the pandemic to gain control over their people we need to be most vigilant at paying close attention to what their intentions may be!

The atrocities of slavery are the first to be erased, but I'm certain the Holocaust will soon follow. The trajectory of the Republican party is too similar to that of the Nazi party.

My dad told me a little about what he saw at war's end. It sounded pretty terrible. He took a young liberated boy under his wing and somehow sponsored him into the U. S. My dad had some clothes made for the boy out of sheets and blankets. I think his name was Sasha. After the war they remained pen pals, then after a while I didn't hear any more about him. I think he became an engineer somewhere around Maryland. I wish I knew more about the story.
It was all very real and it makes me sick to know there are people who vehemently deny any of the Holocaust ever took place. There was a memorial to the murdered Jews set up in a local park in Connecticut where my family lived during part of my upbringing. It was and perhaps still is vandalized by antisemites. It's extra tragic for the local large Jewish population many of which were descendents of the Nazi victims, or knew them. We can never forget about the Holocaust as it could happen again. Let's hope not, but I'm not convinced it won't.
My dad was a prisoner at Bergen-Belsen , he was later sent to Natzweiler where he was a "Nacht und Nebel"prisoner. He survived and was rescued by Americans at the end of the war, he hardly ever mentioned what he had gone through but he once showed me the marks under his feet where they had put screws when he was tortured. He lived to 82 years old and remarkable enough, he managed to make his own family and stayed insane after the war.

In Corrie Ten Booms book “The Hiding Place” her brother William told her “All is well with Kip.”Kip was a political prisoner who was part of the Dutch Underground. He died at Bergen-Belsen. Just a very young man who loved the Lord and helped find hiding places. His father William ran a nursing home and would cry when the Nazis took elderly sick Jews out of the nursing home and sent them to death camps. So much horror, I can’t comprehend it. Corrie was released from Ravensbrook on a technical error. She went on to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ all over the world proclaiming there is no place so dark that Jesus is not there. That book changed my life and perspective of just what men and women who are evil and given power are capable of. Corrie left much of the horror out of her book.Too horrific to tell.
I heard her speak in Miami in the mid 70s. A gentle soldier for Jesus.
My grandmother was from the Netherlands and mentioned her name many years ago , I found the book several years ago , and it was an amazing book , Corrie Ten Booms was an amazing woman ..

There was a famous study done in the USA carried out by Philip Zymbardo wherein some university students volunteered to play the role of guards and other students were the prisoners, locked up. In no time at all the students playing guards turned mean and sadistic. This is what power does to people. It goes to their heads. Literally all of them.
Was Phillip Zymbardo ever a prisoner of war in a soldiers camp just down the road from Belsen?? If not, then he hasn't a fcuking clue what he is talking about! How can he just get a bunch of otherwise sane young students and turn them into nazi sadists overnight? to simply replicate what happened in the 1940's!! There is a big, massive difference in 'volunteering', ' pretending' (in 2022) to be guards and prisoners, to being in the real life situation in the 1940's. My relative; uncle, was an 18 year old British prisoner of war in a soldiers camp just down the road from Belsen; he and other prisoners were driven passed those piles of bodies you see in the many black and white pictures in books, you tube etc, every other day by their german guards on work parties to frighten them from trying to escape. So, were Zymbardo's students/prisoners not fed each day?, did he realistically beat those students who were prisoners each day? Did he keep them locked up in sheds for months (or did they go home each night?) Or did they get coffee and cookies each day!! You say some students were 'playing' at being nazi guards!, I would love to know how he turned sane young people into nazi guards mentality overnight? did they suddenly become sadistic, psychopaths overnight? And if so, what happened to them after the experiment? Did they need psychiatric treatment? Zymbardo's so called study doesn't get anywhere near reality I'm afraid!
There was another experiment with administering increasingly powerful electric shocks for wrong answers given by a questionnaire to a person in another room even carrying on after the screams had stopped,obviously this was not real but this showed even a normal person could become a sadistic torturer .
I took part in a similar study. The system of reward & punishment can be a very difficult thing to deal with

What an excellent informattive video. I have obviously heard about Belsen, but seeing this video explains the true horror of the place. These films must never be lost, and the poor victims NEVER forgotten. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for showing this vodeo.
I remember reading years ago that when "Schindler's List" was screened for high school students, they laughed during the movie. It is scary to think how immune some people (especially young ones) are to seeing the horrors of war. Perhaps because of all the violence they've seen in the movies and television throughout their young lives, they think it's a joke to see horrors inflicted on people. Perhaps seeing peoples' heads being blown off in movies has "numbed" their senses. This is disgusting to even imagine.
The usual line is that they live lives filled with violence and violence everywhere so watching a film about the Holocaust provokes laughter.
If it was a movie about the horrors in the bowels of a slave ship, I doubt there'd be laughing. Who knows. I taught and my Dominican student told me her friend said, just Jews , who cares. "I don't feel that way" was her comment to me.

At least the west stepped in to stop many of these including stopping the Nazis murdering the Jews of which many Middle eastern countries even today still deny happened), even the US involvement in Somali, it was of no strategic value to the US, done as a philanthropic measure .

That's absolutely right, except that the (medical) atrocities taking place now have been happening on a worldwide scale and involving many more than the holocaust.

@@JoJoUK2000 yes, every word you said is correct.
@@stevensexton204 Thanks Steven. There's another video currently on UA-cam in which a very intelligent researcher, by the name of Whitney Webb, explains that this world is being run by a class of "professional criminals"... government people, multinationals, big tech, big pharma, and multi-billionaires, who work hand-in-hand with the Mafia, such that it's hard to tell where one ends and the other begins.
They're all criminals working to line their pockets and grab as much money and power as they can, while they satisfy their lustful pleasures with the aid of people like Jeffrey Epstein. Whitney Webb has written and published a two part book in which she lays out her very detailed evidence, from publicly available official documents mainly.
I began to really cotton on to all of this when 9/11 took place and it became clear, partly because of my scientific background, that the official report was a governmental whitewash. My research then led me to the earlier 'own goal' event: the bombing of the Oklahoma FBI building, which was a trial run for 9/11.
Before that I was aware of the existence of the Illuminati, who's fingerprints were all over the two world wars, and who constitute the Builderberger group who are behind institutions like the World Bank, and parts of the UN etc.... although I'd only done sketchy research into them. What's happening now becomes much more clear as you see the historical pieces of the jigsaw falling into place.
Of course, eventually everything goes back to the garden of Eden and Santa ... I mean Satan ... getting his dirty little fingers in the pie right from the get go. He's was the mastermind behind humanity's moral crash, which led to all the trouble since then, and he's behind the very deliberate current events leading to a manufactured economic crash which will usher in the creation of a worldwide CBDC, and eventually a world government.... leading to 666 (yes, the ordinary bar code) and all that!
What they don't realise, however, is that they're actually being used by Big G to set up a worldwide infrastructure which will be used by JC when He returns in power, gets rid of the bad guys, and sets up His own beneficent government. That government will sort out the chaotic mess and rule this embattled world in a time of tremendous peace and prosperity - and amazing technological advancement - for 1,000 years! It's all there in the last three chapters (I think) of the book of Revelation. Check it out for yourself!

What a pointless comment, honestly.
A survivor of Bergen Belsen was my colleague at Sussex University, a lovely gentle man. He wrote this :Dealing with Satan: Rezső Kasztner's Daring Rescue Mission (2008),[3] in which he recounts his experiences an 11-year old boy sent to Bergen-Belsen concentration camp and freed as the result of a controversial deal that Rezső Kasztner (aka Rudolf Kastner) brokered with Adolf Eichmann. His name is Ladislaus Löb, and I am sorry to see that he died in 2021. RIP. He was there at the same time as Anne Frank, he told me, but did not see her.
I agree, our neighbour had survived being a Japanese prisoner of war, he suffered cruelly with his breathing as a result. He didnt say too much about how he suffered but his eyes were deep set and haunted.

My Great Uncle, Howard Burns, was with B Coy, The Lake Superior Regt, 4th Canadian Armoured Div. When the camp was liberated by British and Canadians from 3rd Cdn Div, he was one of many chosen from other divisions to go and witness what had happened in the camp. He only spoke of it once, to my mother, and all he said was 'You wouldn't believe what I saw. I don't have words to describe it.'

Thank you. I learned about the Holocaust by accident when I was 10, just 11 years after the war's end. It was hard to take, and I didn't discuss it with anyone. Until that point I had doubted how bad WWII had been. I was an American, so hadn't seen any destruction.
My great uncle was Alfred Pierrepoint, I am to young to have met him but he was a very ordinary family man kind and compassionate to his family, friends and neighbours.
My cousin while serving in the Canadian Army was at the liberation of Bergen-Belsen.
More than anything during WWII, the condition of those inmates affected him the most.
I think people need to understand how complicit they are and become, (thinking about what is happening around the world today) when psychological warfare is used to coerce and control people, which then is a crime against humanity!
The unvaxxed are the enemy.

Great video!! Thank You for the time and effort you put into this video
WOW!! Thank you Very Much for posting this video. i never heard of Bergen-Belsen before this video, nor did i know that the female guards were just as bad if not worse than the male guards. :(
Condolences to the family and friends of those who died so horribly. I pray their souls are at peace with Yhwh.
One of my most prized possessions is a Star of David from a prisoner at Bergen Belsen. I use it to teach about the horrors of the Holocaust and what can happen when exists a cult of blind loyalty. Let’s learn from the past.

My dad was a professional soldier for almost 20 years -- when I was tiny I used to hear him crying (and sometimes screaming) when he should have been asleep.
My Grand Uncle died in Belsen.
He is remembered with great affection by the family.
He was only 19 and had alcohol forced on him.
He later fell out of a machine gun tower when drunk on guard duty.
All the victims of Belsen deserve to be remembered.
Visited Bergen Belsen a number of times when I lived in Sarstedt and made a point of taking any vistors we had (that were interested) there. It does not matter how many times to have ben there it is so emotional and moving. This part of the holocaust story is new to me, I still find it hard to comprehend the inhumanity the was there.

@@resiefan3258 said the guy who is unironically using emojis
My Dad was with the Royal Engineers that were part of those that liberated of Belsen. The existing German Guards were used to man the camp as there was typhus within the camp.
My Dad also said that he came across other concentration camps. He was quite open about his experiences from 1940 through to 1946 as he wanted myself other family members to learn about horrors of the war.
When the British Commandos arrived they found the prisoners starving. Starving so bad that they could not eat the rations the commandos had with them. Their stomachs were so gentle that the had to feed them a mix of mushed rice and sugar.
horrible!
The guards were near starvation also
Its normal that they would be starving though. In wartime when things go south your going to think in other things to transport than food to people you consider sub-human. Add the fact you werent doing to good on food to start with by this stage of the war.

The real evil big guys escaped prosecution and punishment. Too often it was lower rank people who paid for their evil.
Yes,they came over to the U.S. under Operation Paperclip to continue their work under the direction of the CIA. MK Ultra was top of the list.Their influence poisoned the U.S.
Truthfully, those lower rank people deserved, at least, the prosecution and punishment that they got. The problem is that so many of them were allowed to fade into the crowd to escape due consequences. The evil elitist engineers “behind the curtain” were allowed to reinvent themselves and continue their practices within the nations that welcomed them and their practices. Hence, we see that this war was never truly won; the victory celebrations were propaganda.
For sure!
@Grant Christopher Wish they had been allowed to break their arms so they would have had to hang.
oh, i suspect the Israelies took care of them eventually.
Humanity should hang their heads in shame to condone such atrocities and then go into denial that it ever happened. I went to Dachau Concentration camp in 1977. It was a hot and humid day. As soon as you walked through the large gates and into the large yard, the majority of the people on the coach made comments tat they could feel a chill as soon as they entered the open air yard. It was as if the souls of the dead and suffering were reaching out to all who entered. I am now 72 years old and still feel that chill as I relive that visit. Shame on humanity.
It's not so much that we deny that it happened but enough already about the ww2 autrasitys. War is hell. We should be more concerned about what's happening today and how to avoid it from happening again.

Hello Henry. I was there also, in 1989 briefing German Military Staff on behalf of our Canadian Military providing support to the NATO contingent of the German Army training at Shilo, Manitoba. I gave the briefing on the 3rd floor of one of the medical buildings in town (Deutsche Sanistatsakademie) where they had experimented on the prisoners. We stayed in the former SS Officer's quarters nearby. The whole experience was spine chilling and inhuman to say the least. I now realize that the peculiar chilling feeling is real and is the actual presence of the demonic realm that remains there due to the unresolved atrocities committed on the land. FYI. RS, Maj Ret, Canada.
Anywhere that large numbers of people died suddenly or violently there are spirits who fail to cross over. You certainly are feeling their presence. All you can do is pray that they find the light and cross over.
We see the pictures, watch the films, hear the testimonies but they can't do justice to the utter horrors that took place in the camps and what was done to men, women and children.
My grandfather and his brothers were German soldiers. Before the Poland invasion they deserted. My grandfather did not want to follow orders told his brothers we're running for our lives.
They were intellectually sound and very brave. I shudder to think of the possibilities of being caught.
Cowards
They should have been executed for desertion
Sometimes it is best to do what our gut tells us. WWII tested everyone’s resilience.
We all need hope and strength. The hope we are doing the right thing for the circumstances one finds oneself in, and the strength to carry it through.
I hope he and his brothers lived to enjoy some peace and happiness. 🙏😊

I was a family practice physician in a small town in rural Texas. One of my patients had been in the military intelligence section of the 36th Infantry (Texas National Guard) Division. He was one of those who first entered the Dachau concentration camp. His memories still haunted him after so many years.
He told me that the guards locked up the camp with prisoners inside before fleeing as the allies advanced. Two things he observed. One was that the prisoners were so hungry they had stripped the bark off of the trees that existed inside the camp to make soup. The other was that the reason the guards hadn't killed more prisoners is that they simply ran out of supplies to gas the prisoners and burn the bodies.
Even at the very end, the Nazis were expending all the resources could to eliminate as many Jews as possible.
they were taken on death marches, bullet to head if appeared unable to walk anymore
I've been visiting Bergen-Belsen as a 10 year old in 1984, as part of an educational school trip.
I didn't fully understand the atrocities back then, but I did take a number of pictures.
Bergen-Belsen was completely burned down after the war (mainly because of all the diseases), with only mass graves left, each one naming the estimated number of victims (in thousands) buried in it.
Watching these pictures years later did made me realise the seriousness of it all.
While this video calls these women "the guards of Bergen Belsen", the ones that were executed were only in Belsen for a short period. The executed ones were actually the female guards of Auschwitz. They just happened to be in Belsen because the Nazi's were retreating and Belsen was the last place for sadistic prison guards to go.
Grese, Borman and Volkenrath were hanged in the courtyard of Hamelin prison on Dec. 13, 1945. Josef Kramer and Franz Hossler had also been in Auschwitz and were also hanged. Many prisoners and guards from many camps ended up in Belsen because it was basically the last camp the Germans controlled. A female Hungarian doctor described Belsen as "an overcrowded prison", she said Auschwitz was a "Vernichtungslager" (extermination factory) and it was. The transcripts of the 54 day Belsen trial can be read online. What those people did boggles the mind.
@Plutarch I haven't read the entire transcripts because that's a lot information, but I have read a lot of it and looked at the photos. Far too many of them were not executed, it was nothing for the Nazi's to execute 1,000 innocent people in a single day. As far as I'm concerned, they should have shot every single Nazi they found at Belsen.
I think there is still a trial going on right now for "Josef S", possibly a watch tower guard at Sachsenhausen. The Germans won't even identify him by name. He is old and the Germans seem worried about him having to suffer through 2 hours of court proceedings every day.
@Plutarch Yeah, I know what I'm talking about bub, I've studied the Holocaust for decades.
@Plutarch So, you can read. Well done. Sorry, but you are talking bull. On your first comment you said you would have waited five years before holding trials. Do you think there would not be any witnesses telling lies and exaggerating after five years? You suffer from profound naivety.
I too would have shot every single Nazi found at Belsen. In an instant.
@Plutarch Name them. You cannot because you are talking utter rubbish. ALL of the Nazi women hanged had been identified by a plethora of prisoners. They were also extensively interviewed prior to being put on trial and their entire career history and involvement was known. None of these women hanged were hanged by mistake. I'm several decades older than you and you know next to nothing.
I'm sorry you obviously had family members caught up in operating these atrocities but you won't change anything by bleeting on about their innocence. These were heinous crimes committed by unlawful evil bastands, all of whom who met their just desserts.
My grandfather fought at Stalingrad for the Red Army. As a Russian Jew, they had heard stories about the camps, but had no idea of the horrible reality. Even the stories were enough to absolutely infuriate the soldiers and they fought with a ferocity that could only be described as biblical. So many died in that city, and had a German stick grenade not ended my Grandfathers military service early, he would probably not have lived thru it. He lived long and carried that shrapnel in his shoulder his entire life.
Bless him
Amazing
Didn't the Russians also kill their Jews?
@@Jimmy911ism They didn't like them, but they didn't systematically eliminate them and attempt genocide. After the war, Stalin pretty much killed everyone that was "undesirable" by sending them to labor camps where most never returned. If you kept your mouth shut, and especially if you were a decorated veteran, you were not likely to suffer that fate. The millions that died were people that made "noise" or other problems for Stalin's government. Sometimes it was just someone, a neighbor perhaps that didn't like you, and they would report you. A knock on your door at night by the secret police and off you went.
The Whisperers....a book by Ladislas Farrago is essential reading about Stalin's years....awful.
One Regiment I served in had a storeman who, as an 18-year-old, was at Belsen. He was responsible for helping to bury the dead. His role was to use his bulldozer to fill in the mass graves. Many of the graves had 10s of thousands of bodies in them. He once recalled how the rotting bodies oused out of the graves as he was trying to cover them. He never married and was allowed to go on extended service. Most nights he drank himself into oblivion. I always wondered what happened to him when he finally left the Army. But the sights of Bergen Belsen destroyed his life.
Fascinating video, but sadly the narrator’s accent is awful to listen to.
It's amazing how inner ugliness and evil comes out on the face of someone who would otherwise be a physically attractive person. It's like it can't be hidden inside.
One thing you can't hide, is when you're crippled inside.
These people for the want of a better word would of no doubt been demonically possessed along with the Nazis, particularly Himmler.
I get what you mean (bitch in sheep's clothing) (villain with good publicity) however I have been interested in this particular topic (evil women who tried to hide with a smiling face, laughter, and likable) of WW2 for years. Almost none of the female guards I have seen of their photos were physically attractive. Kind of average and below average. Not like actresses who played the role in the Nazi SS guards BDSM exploitation films of the old days. Funny thing is these Belsen guards are no different than the ones I come to dislike and avoid whenever possible TODAY. They are just bad people who gotten the power to play god at better people's lives. And they tried to walk away pretending they did their job and then live a happy life because they do not care unless they get caught.
The people from anime manga Black Lagoon would have met such Nazi Belsen females but would prefer to either avoid or kill these trash gangster bullies.
Yes, it was extraordinary.
They were all extremely ugly outside too
It's a dark place even today. When I was stationed in Germany in the 1980's, we went to Gun Camp with our tanks every year to the ranges at Bergen-Hohne. Bergen-Belsen is just outside the ring road that connects all the ranges. There are mounds of grass covered earth with retaining walls and stone markers with the number of people buried in each one. Over time family members who tracked down loved ones killed at Belsen, place small markers on those mounds for their lost family members, even though they could never confirm which grave they were in. Every day German Soldiers from a local garrison were required to walk through the grounds as an official duty. There is also a Russian POW camp a short distance away from Belsen and those poor bastards didn't fair much better.
Yes I believe the Russians had the highest number of casualties in WWII, a fact a lot of people don’t realise.
I hope the world never goes down that path again.

Meu avô lutou na guerra também, mas do lado alemão...foi coronel do exército e conseguiu fugir pela famosa "Rota dos Ratos" em 1944 quando estava acabando a guerra e viajou pra Buenos Aires, Argentina. Viveu por lá até 1955 quando teve um ataque cardíaco e faleceu. Minha avó sempre soube do paradeiro dele, mas entendeu a fuga dele pra outro país fora do Brasil, enfim entendo que ele recebia ordens. Numa guerra a primeira coisa que se perde é a verdade.
The real lesson of this is that given the circumstances, every last one of us has the capacity to behave as these women did - or to reject the temptation to do evil. What they did was horrific; recognizing that we are all capable of doing the same is terrifying. But there are no excuses wrong doing, and no credit for right.
We could all be as bad as Hitler and as good as the Virgin Mary. It's up to each one of us.
It’s happening now. Most just refuse to acknowledge it.

I knew a wonderful lady who was a child at a concentration camp, she still had her tattoo numbers on her arm. She became a nurse and worked with American Veterans. I won't forget.
My Doctor started working with American Veterans because his mother (a child at the time) was liberated from the nazi camps by Americans and grew up to marry one of them and have a child--my doctor.
Did you ever notice that she didn’t have a 7 digit number? Because there were none ever found with a sequence of 7 digits.
No, what disturbed me was her loss of belief in God.

I never met my great-grandfather. He was a wealthy farmer and landowner in then Germany (now Poland), in a region/town then called Stettin. Being the highest profile German in the territory, he was assigned the duty of being the Nazi party official for the territory (an assignment he didn't want, as my father heard him declare back then). My father says his grandfather was told on one particular occasion to harass/confiscate property/arrest a Jewish businessman (a butcher/store owner) and his family, whose business was across the street from where my great-grandfather had one of his buildings (and where they often stayed). My father remembers his grandfather telling him, Mr. (I can't recall the name) has been there 40 years with his family, and he's a well-liked member of the community. He told my father to go to the butcher shop on a ruse, and get the 2 daughters to come over for a visit (nothing out of the ordinary). They were hidden away inside the building, while his grandfather made contact with this man and said to immediately prepare to take his wife an some essentials (making sure to not be noticed) and move all across the street to his building. My father (being young) doesn't remember the details, but said his grandfather used his influence to arrange for "documents" and transportation to get that family transported to what he remembers was Switzerland. You can only imagine the hell the family would have faced, had he not made this bold (and dangerous) move.
My grandfather did have prisoners of war working his large parcels of land, but they all had housing and lots of food (according to my father, none wanted to leave to uncertainty elsewhere). As an example, my father remembers one particular Polish POW who asked to go to Poland for his sister's wedding. My great-grandfather said sure, take 3 weeks off, but to be sure to come back. This fellow said of course he will come back, because when Germany loses the war, he wants to select the best and largest parcel of land my great-grandfather owned for his part of the spoils of war. He did come back, as he said, and when the territory became part of Poland after the war, he did get the best tract of land he had his eye on.
It was lucky that this territory around Stettin was far removed from the Nazi power sphere, so that much less oversight was directed to this "outback" part of Germany. All the land, businesses, and buildings were confiscated at the end of the war (as usually happens), and my father and his family then became refugees over the next few years, and lived in 3 different camps before settling somewhere in central Germany.
Just something to share, before it is lost for history.
Those young women who committed atrocities were no more "brainwashed" than the young men who did the same.
In reality, it was typhus that killed and nothing more.
This is an untruthful story.
They were Leftists. Leftists just like all the other Nazis. Leftists will do anything for and with power.

There is fantastic interview with Geddy Lee from Rush about Belsen, both his parents were there. The interview is on UA-cam and worth listening to.
