Flossenbürg Germany | Our First Visit to a Concentration Camp
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 жов 2024
- We had the honor of visiting the Flossenbürg Concentration Camp. We have visited this concentration camp on two separate occasions. The second visit was just as emotional as the first.
The concentration camp is located in Bavaria, Germany close to the Czech Republic border. It was in operation from 1938-1945.
This video is moving and may be uncomfortable to watch but it is a part of history. We are glad we visited this memorial and it was very eye opening. We honor their lives by not forgetting what happened to them here at this place.
Thanks for watching!

Very good that you also share the dark side of our history. As an grandson of one high ranked perpetrator of this time I feel so responsible to make it never happen again and to remember the victims forever.
This movie is uncomfortable - yes. But this makes it so important to watch it. I hope you get many views. 💐
Thank you. Almost every country has a dark side of its history that needs to be remembered so it isn't repeated.
Thank you for making this dark era real to us. It is so hard to understand how this could have happened, but bringing it to light is important, so it will hopefully never be repeated.
Thank you mom! It is a tough thing to watch but so important to be aware of the past so it never happens again.
Visited there in 1979 while stationed in Germany as a US soldier. Very sad. Each of these people had dreams and aspirations, friends and family just like us.
Yes that is so true. Visiting this place makes it seem more personal!
Hi my friend like 👍❤️ video 📸
Thank you!
This place has a very sinister aura 😒, it chills my blood to think of what happened there 👍
Yes it does give an eerie feeling when visiting in person too.
It was so eye opening to see the letters written by local farmers requesting 10, 15 “slaves” for a week or two of work- how could the locals claim to not know what was going on there
That is crazy. One day viewed as a person and the next day viewed as slave labor.
I visited here in ‘92 looks a little different now. But the same. I have photos on paper and the paper info they handed out during the time of my visit.
Wow! It’s definitely a sobering experience. Something we should NEVER repeat.
Some of the square blocks that were quarried in concentration camps lined the arched bridges or the columns of bridges that were built to span the early tracks of the 1930s/40s Autobahn network. When it became necessary to widen the tracks to three lanes in each direction instead of only two from the 1960s/70s onwards most of these bridges had to go. Only a handful have survived. There are TV-documentaries on nazi-era architecture, many of them with the exaggerated title "Böse Bauten", "evil buildings". What is evil about a bridge or a hallway or an office block? Were cars or radios or the early TV-sets "evil"? What about the children who were born in that era? It is essential to keep memory alive, not to answer those questions and close the books.
Interesting, it is the actions that were evil not the items themselves. Thanks for the comment.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German theologian and member of the Resistance against Hitler, who died at Flossenbürg, wrote a very famous poem in a letter to his fiancee. The last stanza reads:
Von guten Mächten wunderbar geborgen,
erwarten wir getrost, was kommen mag.
Gott ist bei uns am Abend und am Morgen
und ganz gewiß an jedem neuen Tag.
That is:
By gracious powers so wonderfully sheltered,
we confidently await what may come.
God is with us in the evening and in the morning
and certainly every new day.
And never forget all those people who were imprisoned and killed because of their sexual preference. 😥
Liebe Grüße.
That is very true. What a great poem! Thanks for the insight!
