Auschwitz Survivors Return To Death Camp 75 Years Later | NBC Nightly News
Here's a sad reminder:
We are the last generation that will have the opportunity to talk to these people. Learn from them. Let us make the best out of it.
Such a profound and true statement. I got chills all over my body when I read it. I have met a few Holocaust survivors in HS,when I was on a school trip to the Museum of Tolerance. A place that I will never forget.
@@julievanderleest I’m so glad you had that opportunity! I never did, but Heaven knows how much I wish.
What you mean the last generation.
@@kerry8248 it means that the survivors of the Holocaust have gotten older and in the next 5-10 years, give or take a few, they won’t be alive anymore to tell their story. However, hopefully their stories have been and will continue to be passed down to their kids, grandkids and their future kids, and so on. It just wouldn’t be the same as talking to the survivors themselves. There’s just no comparison really. I still remember the man that I talked to over 20 years ago and he was the only survivor of his family. He was just 6 years old when he was taken to the camps.
@@kerry8248 the survivors of the Holocaust are old now. Even if you were born in 1945, the year the war ended, you’d be 76 today. The next generation won’t be able to talk to them because these survivors will be dead by then.
When I hear Holocaust survivors say,
"History can repeat itself" I'm going to take their word for it.
History did repeats itself since the end of the WWII. many genocides across the globe. But the saddest part is the ethnic cleansing that Jews are participating in, "Never again" it's just a slogan but the fact is zionists are repeating the same Nazi tactics with Palestinian population is astonishing
The one lady said “a sophisticated and intelligent group of people turned into monsters”. There’s no reason it couldn’t happen again.
Unfortunately it can, and it has happened since. Look at the concentration camps Churchill set up in countries after WW2. Many others have also carried out such disgusting and despicable acts since as well.
let’s all not forgot the holocaust happening in north korea as we speak.
People who say it could happen again are obviously delusional
Despite the phrase "NEVER AGAIN" Ethnic cleansing has continued without opposition since 1945 even in today's world minorities are still being persecuted and murdered
Or do we accept that unless those being persecuted and murdered number in the millions it doesn't count?
Religion instead of bringing humanity closer together has driven a wedge between humanity
The stupidity of the situation is the 3 main religions claim acknowledgement that Abraham is a prophet and they all believe in the same God of Abraham .
It's like 3 kids arguing over which flavour ice cream is best, at the end of the day it's still ice cream at the heart.
Christians need to acknowledge that they too have persecuted the Jewish people for 2000 years
Muslims also have blood on their hands by persecuting anyone not following their doctrine,
what's even was is they continue to murder those who don't submit to their doctrine .
I sometimes wonder if perhaps God is actually evil
After all what creator will allow the mindless violence and not step in to resolve the issue
Who Else can’t believe she’s 93?!! Absolutely gorgeous and brave of her to go back after what she and so many went through
Same I canr belive it.
My great uncle (grandfather's brother) was part of the US forces that helped to liberate some of the camps. I got him to talk about ONCE before he passed. He talked about how they were hip deep in bodies, and they heard cries from the people who hid underneath them. He always made me promise that I would always do everything I could to help the world not forget.
As a middle school teacher, I talk to my students about the discrimination that they face and how it could escalate to something like this. They giggle...until I play some of the shorter survivor stories for them. This helps to bring home the Never Forget to them.
You're a good teacher and I'm sure your great uncle would be very proud
What worries me, a retired teacher and college instructor, is the antisemitism that is becoming systemic in American education. We need more teachers like you (and to remove the antisemitism in California's ethnic studies programs and to defund those universities that do nothing to stop antisemitism on their campuses).
"Those who do not learn from History are doomed to repeat it".
Today, Adolf Hitler is Running for President of the United States of America!!
His Campaign WREAKS of 1933 Germany.

So hard to believe that there are people who deny that these events existed
How can they deny it when Auschwitz still exists, and all of these survivors are still alive?
I know, I still get people denying that saddam hussein had weapons of mass destruction. Mentalists.
@@filiphelset872 Right. If it wasn’t real then the all of those camps like Bergen Belsen, and Auschwitz etc, wouldn’t be real places.
Gaslighting, they are gaslighting. A trait of narcissistic psychopaths.
Of course it exists. It is true. My mind boggles each time someone says anything at all about 'denial'...of those evil acts.
Nazism is an evil sect. Those who blindly follow through ignorance or willingness spread this evil; flying monkeys
@@filiphelset872 cough cough almost all
I'm incredibly insulted & disgusted when some people try to compare the pandemic to what happened in the Holocaust.
Does the name Genrikh Yagoda mean anything to you?
@@edwardsedwards7145 some Soviet guy I think I remember faintly he was someone back in the day
The pandemic so far has had 5 million deaths, the Holocaust has an estimated 6 million to 11 million. It’s pretty close
Why? A government, and media picking a fight between its citizens is how it all began.
Well…some governments are building camps for select groups of people….soooooo is it truly that different?
“Hate leads to destruction.” Well spoken by a survivor on this video. God Bless all the survivors and their extended family members.
The fact that there are still people alive that lived through this blows my mind. It really wasn’t that long ago that these unimaginable things happened. We cannot let this happen again.
mine too
"The world chose to be silent" what an incredibly haunting and accurate statement.
Not entirely accurate
@@GardenGuy1943 wdym
@@nevaehlittle4296 it’s not an accurate statement
@@GardenGuy1943 yeah you said that I’m asking u to expand further pls. Why’s it not accurate?
@@nevaehlittle4296 the fact that the Nazis aren’t still walking around as a military force is enough of an explanation
There is a reason why they don’t knock the camp down. It’s a painful reminder of what humanity is capable of. We should never forget what happened. Honor those who survived and were able to tell their stories.
True. It may also be a way of reminding us that this can and will happen again in the future.
@@cw2497 they NEVER should. that's why they all say "NEVER FORGET". Does anyone know how close it is to the original? how do they maintain it?
God will release His wrath if we ever do.
@@vm4575 I've been twice to auschwitz, both the work and death camp. Both are kept in as close condition as possible though they sometimes have to do work on the structures. At the death camp it is mainly rubble, the nazis did that to cover their tracks but certain areas do still stand. In many buildings they have put raised platforms so the floors aren't damaged and have windows so you can look into the rooms but can't disturb them
@@katiee3975 Great information. I appreciate you taking the time to tell us this.
My grandfather was a photographer with the US Army Air Corps during the war. The photos he has from the liberated camps , there are no words to express the sheer horror and inhumanity of them. He never talked about his experiences, we only found the photos after his passing. I can understand why he never spoke about that particular part of his service. It's unfathomable.
please post the photos
@@victorblock3421have at least a bit of respect.
@senhoretcon No I'd like to see the photos
rest in peace so sorry ops
@@senhoretconwhat’s wrong with wanting to see photos of history….
This is sad. I cannot comprehend why one people hate the other. Just blows my mind. Why can't people just love each other regardless? This breaks my heart.
Because it's much easier to make a scape goat than to try to improve your society
Say I got kicked out and banned from 109 restaurants. Would you think there was something wrong with me? or the restaurants?
@@kyleberlin6990 what a silly example. how can you compare things like that. the main reason for anti-semitism is envy. one always despises the one he/she envies.
There's a lot of envy behind anti-Semitism. The Jews are the smartest people in the world, thats why people hate them so I much. 😮
America is making poor people the scapegoats, while our politicians and the corporations create more and more of them.
"I asked when I would see my mother, they took me by the arm and showed me the chimney and said *When you go out the same way."* Sick to my stomach...

Absolutely heartless. The ignorant, evil, hateful f**krs who have the GALL to DENY that this ever happened makes my blood boil🤬🖕!!!!
@@angelwild9145 The world is even more full of Soviet sympathizers who denies the hundreds of thousands of people being slaughtered and political opponents killed in Gulags. It seems like a lot of people aren't even aware of it.
indeed. I can't imagine so this much pain and so much hate. Why? 😞
Those who forgets history, repeat it. Do not be ignorant of the evilness of human heart.
Sadly i think history will repeat itself maybe not like this but with something different.

"I need a lot of sweaters" God she is just so adorable. The strength of the survivors is unbelievable. How any human being could survive that is beyond belief. I just wanna squeeze them so tight. I wish them nothing but the best.

Made me cry too 😢

The survivors guilt alone would be crippling. Knowing you were the only one out of your family who wasn’t murdered, and you got to leave alive.
The thought that they're inflicting the same horror on others, should do the job.

How incredibly brave to go back after all they endured. My heart goes out to them. We must never forget and must never let this happen again.
I went to visit Auschwitz long time ago and I still remember that horrible feeling. You could still feel the burning in the air. It was surreal and so intense. Some of us felt sick after a while and we had to go outside to breath. I cried for days after that experience.
🤣🤣🤣
My girlfriend years ago asked me to go out for dinner with her grandparents. I had no idea that her grandmother was a survivor and grandfather was in the military. Seeing the tattoo on her grandmothers arm gave me instant chills. Hearing their story of how the grandfather had saved her and they married a year later. Something that people in years to come will only learn in history books or a documentary.

God, how could it not be. So difficult to live with this.
It never goes away when you experience and see such horrific things. Residential Schools were just as bad and they are only now discovering mass unmarked graves full of children stolen from their homes.
It was a holiday for her lol
it's unspeakably sad how they in some way have endured the most pain because they have lived with it for their entire life.
I went to Auschwitz about 6 years ago and whilst there you can truly feel the evil.
These people display so much strength to ever go back there after everything they went through.
That the same feeling people have when they visit Ghana where they used to keep slaves before they put them in the ship, they said u can smell the death and feel the horror that happened there, I think it doesn't go away.
I will never forget them. Mad respect.
What an extremely brave thing to do...it's impossible to imagine the horrors of that place. And impossible to imagine how they feel seeing that place again.

I had a Language Arts teacher in 8th grade that dedicated a whole quarter year to teaching the horrors of the Holocaust. So thankful that she did this despite what the school county would have wanted. It taught us empathy
I had a teacher like this! I’m glad they took their time to teach us about the Holocaust.
I'm glad to the teachers who taught me about this as well. I learned of it during my years growing up in 98 I was 1 years old then and loved how teachers taught this to me. Each year I saw of this it broke my heart to know this happened history is sad and I am glad to those who believe in good.
I had a few teacher like this too.
That is specifically what more Americans need.... EMPATHY
I had an 8th grade teacher like this too. It was so hard but I'm glad I learned it.
I can't begin to imagine what these people went through here during WW2... RIP to all that were murdered there and may they rest in peace.
You know what amasses me is the compassion the survivors have. God bless them all!

Why wasn't there more leaders like Churchill?????????
I cannot believe, many people did not show more 'insight, empathy, compassion' to their fellow man. FEAR is overwhelming in many individuals. Those good people, in Germany, allowed so much evil to thrive. Why was it acceptable to allow so much death to surround them? IS it that easy to brainwash people? Or were they charmed, by Hitler, for many years and were happy with what they heard? I've also heard stories about Germans being threatened too. It started and progressed for years !! How can there be any validation for such Evil??
In the end the cowards dispersed. Some killed themselves AND their families; which proves how insane they were. Others ran away and HID.
Why wasn't there more leaders like Churchill?????????
As a student I feel the Holocaust is not emphasized enough in our education system.
*For context I am American
I absolutely agree!
So true
I agree. That’s why I spent two months on it teaching 5th grade.
@DanaAK47 They teach us to be observant and critical about our country and government, and to also draw parallels from history to make educated guesses. It's not our fault we notice things like extreme nationalism and racial prejudice when we're literally taught to because of the holocaust and similar events.
If you'd take the time to listen to those you may think less of you may understand their side a little better. We don't call stuff out to be snowflakes, we do it so hatred doesn't spread and cause mass suffering on that scale again.
i’m also a student, but I think it is emphasized enough tbh
Knowing this place was even thought of and brought into reality makes my heart sink and my blood boil. They were loved ones, children, parents, spouses. How- on the face of this planet someone could be so heartless as to commit these atrocities- I could never and will never fathom. All I can say is that I am sorry no one got to you faster, and that I am sorry you carry with you the haunted memories of such an awful place.
I saw the museum when it traveled in the U.S. and it was so hard not to tear up or full on cry. I hope this never happens again. We are living in such a spiteful world full of hate towards one another. Goodness must prevail.
If the walls could speak, they would scream in horror. Don't know how this place isn't haunted, it has an aura of evil and darkness
I’m sure it is haunted. How could it not be
No birds sing there I’ve heard from people that have visited
@@tomkbullybully Probably becasue animals can sense good and bad energy from people. Knows tragic event happened there.
I believe all the souls that were lost went to a better place they were stuck their in life. In death they are free. God bless all

Off topic: I thinks it’s disrespectful to the people who died at the Holocaust to be seeing graffiti on the walls were peoples families, friends or strangers died.
@#LizardFace give me a break snowflake
@#LizardFace So what you are trying to tell me is that we should destroy history?
I think its disrespectful that this ever happened and continue on as long as it did
@#LizardFace it’s history that people need too know and remember
@#LizardFace yes delete history and have people eventually forget it only for it to repeat again
These people are so amazing. I hope everyone who lost someone or experienced this will find peace. I pray for these people every night. I hope no one will have to experience this again and this will not repeat.
Man I cried for the first time in a while, truly terrifying to have gone through that. Wish them truly all the best in the future!
This is why you can’t erase history. Whether it’s good or bad, we need it to learn from it. Hard not to shed a tear watching this.
i didnt shed a tear.
@@144hz_sleepyYou're probably a murderer. Or someone who's not well known of the holocaust. I'm also a person who is very hard to cry even if the situation is very emotional. I never cry. But by watching this video, or any holocaust videos or movies, it makes my eyes teary. I never cry but my eyes will make a little of tears.
I've learnt so much. The hate, jealously and propaganda is present now, even in the hearts of billions. Anti-semitism is rising. Globally.
@@144hz_sleepy Same, but regardless it’s a powerful reminder that we need today more than ever before, that NOTHING like this should be allowed to happen ever again
Humanity learns nothing...the mass slaughter of innocent people happens over and over and will happen again and again.
I had a holocaust survivor, a lady came to speak at my school about her experiences and what she went through and it is a memory I will never forget. Humanity as a whole should never forget these atrocities and ensure that they never occur again
but they have happened over and over again and every bit as bad. Moa Tse Tung murdered between 40 and 80 million men, women and children through starvation, persecution, prison labour, and mass executions. Stalin murder millions of his own people, then the Cambodian Genocide Program (about 3 million deaths), then the Rwandan genocide, the Serbian genocide and there's quite a few others.
Have you had any survivors from the Zionist created concentration camp called Gaza telling you their story at your school. Young 8 year old children playing football on the beach having their heads and limbs blown off by an Israeli missile attack. Do you Jews think that's funny because I don't.
As a race you are not fit to sit at the table if humanity.

Sickening how the front gate says "Work will make you free", even though that freedom was death!!
Yes. Another camp had a sign that said "Everyone gets what he deserves".
That's the German sense of humor for ya!
And that people held that sign during anti Covid protests
In another death camp, the walkway from the changing room to the gas chambers was labelled with “Himmelsstraße” what means road to heaven. It’s unbelievable
It’s hilarious lmfao
75 years is a long time but its not that long ago, It's truly brave of them to show back up at that place.
No it's not

things like this you never forget not in a million years its so evil that even the devil could learn a lesson from it.
It is hard to imagine how horrific this was for them but for the children! I can't think about it. How could anyone treat another human let alone children this way. It's a miracle they are even mentally healthy. The trauma the children endured is unfathomable.
My heart goes out to every single person who was affected here,,,,
I've always been a ww2 enthusiast. I always wanted to see Auschwitz. I went there in 2010. It was nothing that i expected. The tracks & the work will set you free sign just makes you freeze when you see them. It took me almost 2 hours to be able to walk in. The size of that camp is endless. The thing that really got me was the claw marks on the walls in the gas chamber. It is insane the ceiling must ne 20 ft high, you can see claw marks all the way up & on the ceiling. The realty hits you how desperately they we're trying to survive. They had to climb on top of people to reach the ceiling. That is an image I will nevet get out of my head. The feeling walking down the stairs thru the changing rooms to the showers is unimaginable. Than when you see all the pictures, shoes, glasses, lugage, dishes, silver/gold, all the piles of teeth they pulled for gold filling, the piles of hair & clothing. I went in as a enthusiast & came out scared for life. You can watch all the videos, look at pictures but the reality of it hits you when you see it first hand. I dont regret going there & think everybody should see it so they can understand.
Fantastic comment it says it all, I never got why the Jews were so hated amongst others, the pain of the survivors in this was so emotional. You should watch about Nicholas Winton and others who save lives, God Bless them all
@@josephmuir2366 I was talking to one of the guards that spoke english. He said that they don't open it until 2 hours after sunlight & start removing people 5 hours before the sun goes down. The last 2 hours of the shift are for searching every inch of the grounds & every building to make sure nobody gets locked in over night. He said nobody will come within 2 miles of the camp after dark. He said at night people have smelt the ashes & seen the smoke from the stacks & can here screaming & crying, gun shots outside the gates. He was dead serious & at closing they were locking up & telling everybody to leave. You can basically drive up to the parking gates at night. We went back after dark because we w5ere curious. We didn't make it anywhere close. We seen spot lights in the sky coming out of the camp & stopped. We sat in the car for about 2 minutes looking & turned around & left. We prob didn't get within 3 miles of the camp & had this overwhelming feeling we we're not welcome & needed to leave now.
How do people have the strength to go to Auschwitz because I don’t
@@nicolelawless9942 it's not easy. As soon as you see the tracks & selection area it's a reality check. Than when you see the work will set you free at the gates it really hits you. It took me almost 2 hours before I could go in. I just told myself I'm going home today, the people that died here didn't. I felt I owed it to them & honoring them by seeing their pictures & the horrors they when thru. The size of the camp which it actually 2 camps is unreal. It's a spiritual journey in a way. To see what they went thru & the ones that survived.

With the new camps being built here and the laws they are passing we are next to experience this. The difference is we won’t be remembering it. Anyone who thinks those camps are for anything but detainment is sadly mistaken. Maybe I will see you in Mickleham.
I’m so proud of my grandad, I man I never met but will always remember, bless his heart. He was an American soldier who helped in the liberation of one of the Nazi concentration camps after the war. He himself was also a prisoner of the Nazis shortly before, and survived the torture and starvation.
I learned through my father that when granddad liberated the camp, the prisoners came out in hordes and attacked the now disarmed Nazi wardens. My granddad and his friend turned a blind eye, walked around the corner, and let it happen.
Much respect towards your grandad. ❤️
God Bless your grandfather🙏🏼❤️
And i am Donald Trump
That's so true what u say about ur grandad bc they did that to the nazis
No WAR, only peace!
Parabéns pelo relato!
We here now . Young people . Please respect each other doesn't matter religion or country. We must unified and be kinda . We can't repeat what once happened.
Makes you sick man. Can't imagine how horrific that must have been.
@The Big no it's really not, they weren't prisoners, they were beaten, starved, worked, experimented on, gassed, murderd need I go on? They were treated as inhuman, not prisoners
Have u been? I can't even describe the feeling u get, its just incomprehensible man
@The Big are u sick
@Vaccinated Kid Oh you're trying to be an edgelord 🙄
Imagine living through the fire storms of Tokyo and other cities. Of you think living in these camps was horrific....
People shouldn't ever be treated like cattle, nor slaughtered like them.
Breaks my heart looking at this video, hearing all of their stories.
Cattle are treated better than this
@@belleparker7519 Not!
@@ginaone6601 do you work in the farming industry? If not you have no place to comment on it
Animals shouldn’t be treated like that either. Science is hopefully advancing where they use stem cells or plant based meat
@@delaney5721
Personally, I do agree with you to a certain degree. In the sense that we raise animals simply for slaughter oftentimes, it is a little odd - although necessary to meet food demands. In nature, too, animals are killed by each other - but if there were an alternative that was as efficient as cattle farming, I feel like it'd be a good call.
These survivors are so brave for going back
Imagine returning to a place that only raised personal memories of horror and extreme sadness, and it all looks the same has it did 75 years earlier...(apart from the absence of those 'evil' people ran it) ....how emotional it must be.
R.I.P to all those who lost their lives there, and God bless those who survived this pure evil.
I was in the 8th grade and I asked my teacher, "Are we going to learn about the Holocaust?" She said and I quote, "No. I do not believe it and we will not learn about it." I brought it to the principal and she was fired. We don't learn about it but talk about it. Fix the education system..

@Snevets Elie Wiesel spoke at my middle school around 95-98, i can't remember the date.
As a German, I feel utterly ashamed for what my country did all these years ago and I will make sure that I will never grow ignorant, barbaric or selfish like my ancestors were. Nothing but respect for all these brave human beings in this video
Edit: The comments I got on this leave me feeling conflicted because either poeple seem to hate my entire existence or try to understand/ sympathize with me. Also it's interesting that poeple think my grandparents were involved. They were not even alive that time and my great-grandparents were children/young adults. Goes to show how time passes
❤
You're an embarrassment to your German ancestors.
That's very noble of you, my friend, but it is just as important that you don't feel any kind of personal guilt. No-one is ever responsible for his or her ancestors' actions. All the best from the UK.
@MSM4U2POM you handed your country over to savages and at one point tried to take our guns. Shut up
The bolsheviks were the real enemy. you have nothing at all to be ashamed of
This is so heartbreaking… god bless them and their loved ones
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Truly a moving video. Thank you
My high school teacher (11th grade) back in 1982 taught us about the Holocaust. I took my 21 year-old son to the Holocaust museum a couple years ago. There were hundreds of people there. It was completely silent. No one spoke as we all shuffled through looking at the historical records. I've never witnessed such a huge group of people walking as quietly as possible, each cognizant of the others around them. It was as though the entire museum was a sacred place. When we got to the hall of remembrance, where people went at the end to contemplate and honor one or the millions who were murdered, the room was less for remembrance than it was a place of emptiness and sadness. There was no relief offered by this place. My son and I left. While there, I felt much older than my age of 54 (at that time) and my wonderful son held his arm stiff and strong for me to hold onto. Part of the horror for me was showing him what I guessed he'd only been introduced to in high school. As we silently looked at and read each display, I saw the sadness and horror on his face. My son and I went on a long walk together every night after dinner for years throughout his early to late childhood. We still go on long walks. Many times he told me about school, his thoughts, plans, hopes. After the long walk through the museum I saw a change in him. He became more conscious of how his behavior effects others. He calls me sometimes to say he loves me.
That's so sweet💕
Wonderful
That was such a lovely story, thanks for sharing it. You've raised a wonderful man.
We must never forget what happened in WW2. It's a lesson to all of us even today. 😓

Extraordinary strength and integrity to recount their suffering and return to its source.
Such a terrible history...How anybody treat human like this.. I can't imagine the pain and suffering of the people there...😢😢
I can not even imagine the pain of losing your whole family and the only one to survive. I can't imagine the horror of seeing those you love being taken to the gas chamber, or seeing them dying next to you. How anyone can disrespect those who died and survived makes me mad!

You need to look at what’s going on in China as we speak.

And in nagorno karabakh/artsakh and Azerbaijan’s aggressive anti Armenian politics towards ordinary people. Coincidentally, the Armenian genocide inspired hitler to exterminate the Jews, and yet the world sits in ignorance that it’s slowly happening again.
God bless you all! I’m never totally sure if the poor souls who were murdered suffered less than those haunted survivors! I can’t imagine living with watching family and friends being systematically eradicated and tortured. Bless every soul alive and in heaven.
I went to the museum and it was sad that i saw what I heard it just brakes my heart. And it is hard to feel the emotions that they felt. Seeing your family die in your face is hard.
this is probably not the right thing to talk about rn but she looks amazing for 93!!
And after all she has been through, she is a tough lady.

The construction of 4 large gas chambers and crematoria began in Birkenau in 1942. They went into operation between March 22 and June 25-26, 1943. The gas chambers at crematoria II and III, like the undressing rooms, were located underground, while those at crematoria IV and V stood at ground level.

I was so scared to click on this video when it came into my feed. I thought it would be too emotional BUT, they deserve to be seen. ALL of the witness statements and stories deserve to be told over and over again. It breaks my heart to think of ANY human being, treated badly in any way. LEST WE NOT FORGET. This can never happen again - EVER! RIP all those poor souls that did not make it.
We're you really "so scared"?
Beautiful words! Congratulations on the story
♥️🇮🇱🙏🏾
This was an absolute unforgivable act of terror and horror that cannot be repeated ever again. I cry watching the pain of the people who survived to tell their stories, and God bless them all.
And still, when I look into comment sections of WW2/Holocaust videos, I see people saying that the holocaust was fake.
This is so crazy to me. Just imagine what will happen a couple generations into the future, when they can't even talk to survivors anymore..
I can't imagine doing that. If I had been there, and someone asked me to go back, I think I'd have a nervous breakdown. Concentration camp survivors are the strongest people on this planet. Second are the Japanese death march survivors.
or people who survived Japanese slave/death camps
Or really anyone who’s in POW camps they’re all incredibly brave
I don't think it's our place to judge/rank others' hardship. Survivors of anything are beautifully strong.
@@alexzhang3761 this is true
@@ebonyw3017just as bad
My father was a young British soldier who on his duties had to go to one of these camps he only spent a few hours there, what he saw affected his mind and health to the day he died aged 91. This is a awful reminder but the story of what happened must never be forgotten!
Thank you for sharing, I am sorry for your loss. Your father is resting in peace. ❤
Your father didn't understand lines of communication had collapsed in Germany. No food was being transported resulting in both Germans and Jews starving to death!
I wasnt aware so much of how liberators were impacted. if you dont mind, could you share some information to that point
@@johnhickton7944 Did he need to?? Human beings were put in camps and had been murdered all over europe in their millions. Starvation and typhus was only the main killer in the very last few months of the war. Ignorant fool.
But Churchill was a lovely guy right, according to your grandfather?
Although sad, we must remember what happened. We are the last generation who can talk to these survivors, learn from them and make sure nothing like this happens again.
And look where we are now…..
And they had nerve to call these prison camps when it was filled with innocents
We got camps like that now on the boarders
What a comment tracilyn
It really puts into context the sheer mess of morality these places were
@@chrisnewman2896 100%. And that situation is the closest to becoming another like this
Trump said those words. And no one cares. Think on that
america housed germans and japanese in internment camps also during the war also many died of typhus
I visited Auschwitz yesterday, my heart broke. Every one of us has flashbacks. Also I'm Hungarian and I had no idea that in Auschwitz when it comes to nationalities, Hungarian Jews were the biggest "percentage" of deaths in Auschwitz. But also at least we know about this. My grandpa died in a Gulag because of the Soviets and most the Western World does not know about the evils of communism as they do about nazism. Also, Chienese government does this with the Uygurs now and North Korea also has death camps. It is not enough to remember Auschwitz, the world still doesn't do anything to protect other people in situatons like this.
They say ''history will repeat itself'' But it has ALREADY repeated! I don't understand why everyone is ignoring the camps in China. It's sickening.
My grandmother and her family immigrated to the United States from Hungary just prior to the war. Although they were not Jews, I am grateful they left when they did.
@@LisaG515 well I guess your family got to have a better life in the US back then. After the Nazis, 45 years of communism came to Hungary and Eastern Europe and my grandparents spent most of their adult life under the Communist regime. However we were a bit luckier than the other countries, because after the 1956 revolution against the Soviets and Rákosi's death, it became less dangerous, more like socialism-so my parents generation didn't have to be afraid of hard dictatorshp. (But for Example, Romanians weren't that lucky) Nowadays of course we aren't as rich as the Western countries but we have come a long way after 1989. I consider myself incredibly lucky to be born in 2002 to a free country.
@@rekaroob2589 yes, my grandmother and her 2 sisters who came here separately, were taught by a Jewish seamstress how to sew. Eventually, each were able to open their own bridal shop within blocks of one the other. They worked hard all their lives while raising families. They set a strong foundation for their family's future. We are very fortunate. My mother has been to Hungary 3 times and is trying to get back in the fall to look more into her ancestry. It's incredible to see what happens in people's lives based on their choices based on opportunities. My grandmother and her family were not wealthy in Hungary. They lived mostly as farmers but not on their land. My great grandfather was a POW in the Soviet Union. I am sorry for your family and the struggles they went through. What a wonderful country Hungary is. My mother talks about if it gets much worse here, she would consider getting her dual citizenship to move there. God Bless!
What about kurdish people ?😢😢😢
My heart breaks hearing the speechless survivors with no words, just tears. 😢 I do pray that we never see such terror and pure evil take over ever again.
I‘m absolutely sick to my stomach. What these people survived in the face of pure evil… I just want to cry my soul out watching this.
What she did is true bravery. She walks in the ashes and memories of our people. That is true strength. To walk thru trauma, not just for herself, but for her family who swiftly we're murdered, and a lot of others she saw just disappear. This lady is a hero.... NEVER FORGET!!!!!!!
