    This documentary tells the story of the Holocaust through the eyes of Boris Pahor, the oldest living survivor of the concentration camps and still sharp at the age of 107. Pahor was a prisoner at Dachau, Bergen-Belsen and Natzweiler.
    In an exclusive interview he talks about his fight against fascism and the Nazis. Pahor's testimony is supported by extracts from his extraordinary book 'Necropolis' and illustrated with drawings by fellow prisoners, creating a unique record of life and death in the only Nazi concentration camp situated in France: Natzweiler - 'the death camp in the clouds'.
    Once viewed, this film is not easily forgotten.

    I am moved by the sheer beauty of the narrative in this program. The last portion about Europe being like a man with a glass eye was breathtakingly moving... and I have read FAR too much war literature in life.
    In fact, I view the entire series as preserving vital historical artifacts.
    Thank you that you are making these available. I can hardly imagine the work that must go behind each one of them and I hope that educators and the interested public around the world take advantage of them.

    In the early 1960's I worked in Strasbourg at the Conseil de l'Europe. On weekends friends and I would go on hikes in the Voges mountains. One day we got lost on mountain trails, saw a huge stone pointy 'finger' in the far distance, so we crossed the forests and finally arrived to discover that it was a monument in the shape of a flame. We had discovered Struthof!!! We just stood there in shock, speechless. Terrible! Deep in the forests, horribly cold in winter, the sap in the trees would explode in freezing temperatures. Imagine being there. The nearest villagers said they didn't know it was there(sic). We had never heard it mentioned either. It was, maybe still is, still standing, but I did not want to go inside.

    I didn't know about this camp, and its so fantastic to listen to a survivor, that are able to tell this terrible story, on the dark human history, just 80 years ago, its not so long ago, and we have all to make sure that these times never get a chance again to happen.
    Its so cruel times that its hard to take in, for us who were born after the war.
    Thanks for an Excellent documentary, that goes strait into our hearts.

    Over the last 25 years i have been here many times taking family and friends. Especially to visit the quarry when the snow is thick on the ground. It seems incomprehensable yet history repeats its self. When i first visited there was only the camp, now there is a vistors centre that pays hommage to those that perished. A sad fact i found this documentary more informative than the visitors centre.

    It's crazy to me that camps of this nature still exist in North Korea but are completely disregarded by the rest of the world. Or the camps in China that have held the Uyghurs for years. Both are completely overlooked by the rest of the world.

    • @scottsallisky4941

      There’s children growing up knowing nothing but the camps. America and other countries should stop any trading and deals with those two countries until they free the people. I don’t think North Korea would care. As long as Kim Jung and those high up are eating and living good they don’t care about the rest of the people. Even if the world called him out it would only lead to war unfortunately. But China might budge.

      I wouldn't say we overlook them. It's that our governments don't feel the cost of waging war against NK or China is worth paying. It's the same old, same old. The US probably wouldn't have even joined WWII if not for Pearl Harbor. Along with nobility and heroism, humans are also capable of being very self-absorbed and isolationist.

      Right?!? So many of the "master race" were too scared to face justice so they offed themselves. Meanwhile, people like Boris made it through a literal genocide and thrived for decades after. And many had children and grandchildren... that's the biggest and best revenge, IMO. Not just survival, but thriving and creating a legacy. 😊

    41:46 whats the point of showing the pic if you cant see the pic. Voids the whole purpose of showing the pic. You get no information, value, absolutely nothing to the point im asking whats the point of even editing it into the video. If you think its rude to show the dead your video is about then you shouldn't be making these videos. Your teaching, not glorifying it and there isnt anything wrong with that. But there is nothing more annoying then being showed a video or a picture to give you a glimpse or an idea of whats being talked about when for example 41:46 is the most worthless educational part about this, to the point i can comprehend how someone would feel the need to add it to a video as it literally serves to purpose what so ever. Have no idea what im looking at, not sure what im supposed to take and learn from it and now im annoyed thanks.
