What about the Jews who participated in the enslavement of Africans and the genocide of 400 million slaves? Isn't that more important than than the 300k jews who were killed in the Holocaust which was financed by Zionists from wallstreet?
I feel like the holocaust isn’t talked about enough. Black people should know about this hateful behavior. They were not exposed to this type of violence.
I can’t imagine fighting so hard to stay alive for your wife and child for so long just to learn they were murdered the day you were separated. Just absolutely gut wrenching. May all of their memories be for a blessing.
I work in a retirement home in Ontario, Canada. I’ve got the privilege to meet a survivor. The stories he had shared with me, had me in tears on more than one occasion. He never seen his parents or grandparents again after entering the camp. He talked about starvation and waking up to wipe off dozens of bed bugs off him every morning. He’s been gone for a few years now and I think about him all the time. 😥
Colleague had an Aunt who survived a death camp. I don't remember which. She saved a teenaged niece from the gas. They made it. For about twenty years or so they lived well. Soon after the niece got married the Aunt passed away in her sleep. Sounds like a made up story but she insists that it's true. She's never lied to me. The Aunt had a mission. She fulfilled her mission. She moved on.
The first time I learned about the holocaust, I was about 10 years old. I started reading every book that I could find on the death camps and biographies by survivors. Their incredible accounts of survival helped me to cope with, and make peace with my own childhood trauma. I have so much respect for the resilience of these people in facing pure evil.
Anyone willing to share more titles to read, feel free to share if you can. I love reading biographies about these events. Not because of the horrors, but because of the amazing strength and resilience these people showed.
@@tephrafalls6321 I have read too many to remember the titles. Aside from the very popular ones such as Anne Frank's Diary and The Sunflower by Simon Wiesenthal, here are some books engraved in my mind: The Happiest Man on Earth by Eddie Jaku, Night by Elie Wiesel, Lily's Promise by Lily Ebert, I’m Alive & Return to Auschwitz by Kitty Hart Moxon.

My great uncle was a POW, captured and placed in a German camp called Stalag 17. You can look it up. When he came home after the war, his beard was down to his waist, and all his teeth were gone. He wouldn’t speak of the camp, but he had nightmares. He would scream in his sleep.
Many still don't believe it. And I don't mean a few dozen, but MANY. It's absolutely crazy, and it soils the memories of all the dead, but especially the dead, completely innocent children; pre-teens ready to fall in love for the first time; toddlers ready to learn to count, excited to go to school and make friends to play with; fetuses ready to be born and experience life.
When I was in 4th grade in 1974 our teacher told us we were going to watch a history movie,so they took the old reel to reel movie projector out and pulled down the movie screen..the lights went out and they started the movie…’night and fog’ ..my classmates and I were so horrified by what we watched ..I’ll never forget..that was the day we learned that the world wasn’t a safe or happy place and that our grandparents had been through things that couldn’t be put into words…and as a child of 9 or 10 in a small rural community..that was huge

My great grandfather survived Auschwitz he made it to South Carolina and married my grandmother (a black woman) they moved to Harlem started a family and lived happily. My great grandfather never forgot Auschwitz. He and his family we’re lucky to survive
The pictures of innocent trusting faces of the little children is so heartbreaking. The most impactful picture for me is the one of the hunched grandmother holding the hands of the group of little children and walking most probably to their imminent death. I can imagine the confusion and fear she must have felt and at the same time she wanted to protect those little children. I was primarily brought up by my loving and caring grandmother because both my parents worked full time. Perhaps that is why that picture leaves the biggest impact for me.
I can't remember the name of the movie but it's set in Auschwitz during an arrival and it centers on the moment the men learn the fate of the women and children wives sisters etc it was so powerful emotionally I never watched it again. A seriously heavy scene
One 0f the most detailed and tragic accounts of history that I've ever come across. Thank you for this documentary. There's so much that's just not a part of what we are not taught in public school, though one should not ever depend solely on others to be educated.
It was general policy to not bomb prison camps, it was only after these camps were liberated that the allies realized the people in these camps would have rathered being bombed then what they had to endure.
I brought up this idea to my sister. Said why didn't they just bomb them. She said the people in them would've been killed. But it would've prevented anyone else from being killed there too.
@iamserverplockerlookupwhat4306 Not to mention the Rheinwiesenlager where 1,5 millions German pow's were starved and left to rot and die AFTER the war under Eisenhower's orders, as part of the Morgenthau plan.
Nonsense. In the summer of 44, the allies knew EVERYTHING they needed to know in order to understand that not bombing these camps was the worst moral decision they could ever make.
My grandfather survived he was the only one of his family to survive. Once when I was a child there was hail falling from the sky and I was eating it he told me not to do it because bombs come from there I was confused at the time. When he died he had a drawing of himself in his prison uniform hidden away.
And I’m almost positive the allies knew of this camp and others long before 44. They just didn’t believe everything they heard thinking they were just crazy rumors. They didn’t listen or believe the stories…
Possibly, but the existence of such evil is hard to comprehend. The Allies didn't have a land presence in Europe until D day and the Allies may have been reluctant to bomb the camps/ transport trains killing innocent people, children and POWs. The Red Cross was going into the camps but were shown " staged" areas so perhaps there was ignorance of what was really going on. I hope that is the case anyway.
I agree. But how could you blame them? Nothing had ever been done like this before. There had never been exterminations of human beings on a mass industrialized scale. It must have seemed absolutely impossible. Especially from what was considered a very cultured and rational people. It would have seemed so implausible for the Germans to be doing something like that. Until the evidence started rolling in and they could no longer stay in denial. But I can't blame them for thinking it was just crazy rumors at first.
My older 1st cousin married a young survive. Her and her mother were the only ones that survived being there. I remember as a child Is looking at the tattoos on their Arms. And when I once asked what what it was? Her mother was so kind and tell me in a child version what had happened. But I will never forget the look in her eyes and the sadness. Although she tried to smile and not make it be as bad as it was.
The the extent of the evil is so great that I don’t blame someone for not being able to confront how great it is, it’s so evil that it’s hard to even conceive, it makes the decent mind reel.
I can see why some sensitive people might avoid the topic because of that. Holocaust Deniers are another story - they don't just prefer not to think about it, they actually spend a lot of time focused on and researching it to argue re proselytizers with a mission and strategy to erase the Nazis of culpability by the intentional spread of lies. They are not motivated by avoidance and decency but by the same evil that motivated the perpetrators of the genocide.
My young son did a school project on Poland, & we learned a lot about Birkenau - even more terrifying than I could have imagined. The teacher wouldn’t even let there be ANY mention that death camps even ever existed.
What we all fail to take responsibility for is that no country was willing to allow immigration of these jews, gypsies, homosexuals, writers, painters, musicians, Slavic people, Russian people, Polish people....we stood by and did nothing while they were exterminated. The attitude of the whole world made this possible.
The Philippines saved 1,300 from 1937-1941 under President Manuel Quezon. He wanted to save more but unfortunately the Japanese came and bombed Manila on Dec 8,1941 and as a result halted President Quezon’s goal to save more Jews from the Nazis.
Also fail to take responsibility for fire bombing german food supply and the ensuing encirclement that kept any aid from coming in which is what was responsible for the starvation.
the prospect of ultimate power over life and death brings surely to surface the worst in mankind (this is sadly not limited to the 3.Reich) the english did commit countless atrocities, the americans as well; in the name of "racial superiortiy" ; also the colonial exploitation of africa or india is such a crime.
There was a Polish soldier turned resistance fighter who volunteered to go into the camp. He tried to organize a resistance movent in the camp. Escaped and reported to his superiors, but the allies weren't interested.
Yes, Witold Pilecki, Captain in the Polish Army under Polish government , then in Great Britain. His job was to infiltrate since at the beginning it wasn’t known what is this camp about. He organized resistance based on old system of 5 ( 1 person drafting 5 members, each of them doing the same, the 5 know only the one man who sworn them). After he escaped he wrote a report, in my view it’s one of the most valuable accounts of the horror of Auschwitz since there’s no personal accent, no emotions, just a soldier reporting what he has witnessed, as ordered. Besides he was no German, no Jewish and not a communist so it is as objective as it gets. You can read this document online; Pilecki’s report.
I live in Sydney, Australia. As a blood collector in the Eastern suburbs, I saw many arms with number tattoos. These people had immigrated to us from South Africa.
People never learned, not even today. Explore every war sind then onwards and Pattern is always the same. Over 90% Killed in a war conflicts are Civilians. This is really sad reminder to all of us. 😔
We get overwhelmed w the scale and severity of all of this. It occurred to me at 21:05... the indignity of that woman seeing her mother, physically and psychologically exhausted, being dragged out of that boxcar to her fate...

There's nothing "weak" about experiencing a mental break under the pressure of the immediate gruesome death of you, your precious precious children, and your husband.
great documentary🌺 i think everyone of us should make it a point to let these precious ppl tell their stories before we no longer have their stories to hear🌺🌺
I would Like to preface this comment by saying that I do not support hate speech and I will never conduct it. Every religion has its own way, I fully respect the beliefs of every single individual and collective that is free of sin. This channel is blatantly lying to you. This video neglects to tell you about the conditions surrounding an entire world at war and the mindset of the people who actually went through it. But they are more than willing to blame the common folk of Germany of mass genocide, which is completely untrue. If you want to understand more, ask me anything about the Holocaust and I will provide photo and scientific evidence for you of the events specified.
I still find it very hard to believe that human beings could have been so very, very cruel. What the Germans did just wasn't human, how can people possibly think of such vile acts,it just leaves me and millions more speechless.
First of all, we English have made war upon our rivals in trade and commerce...in case of war with Germany, we should stand to win much and lose nothing. The Saturday Review, 24 Aug. 1895
Imagine how frightened youd be watching those people being shot & burned in mass graves, knowing you await the same fate. What atrocious cruelty & brutality.

The terror which the German economical power of achievement set loose in these European upper classes moved them to form a War Party against Germany in 1895, which is still at work today(years 1895 to 1994)
I met a gentleman years ago at our church. He and his family attended there, he still had the tattoos on his arm he said he refused to have them taken off. He wanted it as a reminder as to how low mankind could fall in to depravity. He would share his time there as a child, it was gut wrenching and we cried together.
The Allies were already actively bombing cities deep in Germany, they had massive air superiority - but they were directed to destroy civilian morale so factories and houses were the priority targets. It's an unfortunate period, many mistakes made on all sides, all we can do is absorb the information from this era and make our own determination without bias.
Exactly as is the left. They're doing whatever they want, nobody is stopping them, the media is complicit and so many can see what's happening and still we do nothing. The one man who tried to stop them, has been demonized and censored. If they can do that to the President of the United States, imagine what they can do to us. And yet, people actually support Biden...

i visited Auschwitz when i was 16 with school. We talked to Wilhelm Brasse, he was the Photograph who was forced to take all of the Fotos you can see for example at 12:12 He died a few years ago. I remember him saying that when he will die, his wife and love will wait for him. Now they together. What he had seen through his Camera, what he told us how it had felt to be forced to take all those pictures... I wish i could remember all of it exactly... But since then 10 years have washed away most of the details... It exists a movie about him, but I´ve havent seen it jet. Its called the photographer or something like that... I´m glad that i had the chance to meet him, speak to him and listen to his memory's... R.I.P Wilhelm Brasse
It seems the "normal" people of other countries could not believe that such evil could exist. The truth was mind blowing, imagination could not absorb it.
No, they simply ignored it. In truth, anti semitism was big before WWII, and many states were just as prejudiced as Germany had become. They simply didn’t care and feigned ignorance. If Germany won, a LOT of people would have been okay with this. It’s the sad truth.
The problem was not until after D-day in June of 44 was there any way a bomber could get that far east to bomb the camps. Wasn't until allied planes could take off from France. Recon plan can go farther then a bombers can and return.
@aBoughtLemon I believe the video explained they couldn't bomb from Italy with sufficient accuracy to avoid hitting the inmates and they just didn't realise the actual plight of those inmates, nor that said inmates would have welcomed being bombed.
Loved this documentary! Kuddos to the creators. You guys hit a homerun with this one. It's so informative that this video needs hundreds of millions of views from kids in middle schools and from all viewers across the world for all to see. 💯 nice work guys 👏
In my 60s, my father told me a story about his family. They left Russia coming to the USA with papers stating they were Lutheran, in reality they were jewish. Never again to practice their faith again. My father would not undress in front of any group of people, because he had been circumcised. During the 40s even in the USA, being Jewish was hidden, by some.
Thank you for publishing this film... Maybe we can learn from this, but it seems that history always repeats its self. My heart aches for the Millions who lost their lives in the concentration camps....

Think this is bad. Check out "Lietūkis garage of Kaunas". That's Baaaaad. It was Lithuanian's that were behind this one. The Nazi's (believe it or not) merely spectated and took pictures.

Everything's is made to exit the responsibilities of the English, but as we know, in 1943 two prisoners from Polish resistance have been incarcerated voluntary in Auschwitz and escape, and report to the embassy in London what they saw, the embassy delivered the info to the English government, and they decide to do nothing!
I feel a sense of shame and guilt that the Allies knew but did little to prevent or stop this. I'm sure they had their reasons for the delay, but still many lives were lost with each day of delay. It took the end of the war, and the liberation of the camp to end this tragedy. That is most unforgivable.
Yeah, how DARE they refuse to deny the evidence of their own eyes and research? Obviously, they should have based their actions on political propaganda from nearly 100 years later.
The 40 prisoners "killed" in the raid, were merely released from an even worse fate. Having learned about the holocaust for over 40 years, it never ceases to amaze me how inhumane it all was. Just numbers on a page to be burned like brittle paper.
My comments about DDT, Zyklon B, typhus, the allies bombing the railroads, and people dying of typhus and starvation as result are getting deleted. You are not being given the full truth!
MY NEIGHBOR VISITED THE POLISH DEATH CAMPS LAST SUMMER; SHE SAID IT WAS A VERY EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE THAT SHE WILL NEVER FORGET. VERY MATURE MATERIAL, BUT SHE FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR HER CHILDREN TO SEE AND LEARN FROM IT AS WELL.
I'm always slightly uncomfortable with people whose narrative is firmly: European Jews were forsaken by the Western Allies; but I understand it. Albeit an extremely negligible number in comparison, citizens of Western Allied countries were also murdered at the 6 death camps (thinking they were all sent to P.O.W. camps is incorrect). The scope and scale of this war was unprecedented in human history. While they made mistakes, I think they genuinely tried to mitigate the loss of life.

Ok. So many thousands of photos taken daily. Obviously can’t look at everything. But the very fact that the IG Farben site was under observation should have meant automatic surveillance of the area surrounding it
I met a survivor once, she told me that everybody who survived Auschwitz was in a Sonderkommando, whether they admit it or not. There was no other way.
It seems that there were too many participants in this film who were ready to make excuses for the Allies failure to take action against Auschwitz and the other death camps. So it was then, so it is now. There may be enormous differences between what happened during the Holocaust and the plight of the Uyghurs but we should focus far more on the similarities, and those similarities are stark - what little we know of the internment camps in which right now an entire ethnic group is being oppressed (to put it mildly) is without doubt the tip of the iceberg. And as in 1944 the rest of the world is doing nothing to stop the atrocity.
@Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus Without going into everything g that is abhorrent regarding Holocaust denial, it's a bit like climate change denial - 97% of climate scientists know that the global climate and ecological crisis is caused by hamanity, while the other 3% deny the overwhelming evidence for their own nefarious ends or to please their dark masters. A perfect - if sinister - parallel to those who say the Holocaust was fabricated...
Why the Allies did not take action after July 1944? The answer is very simple - it was way too late ! At that time the killing operation had been terminated on Himmler's orders - an air raid would only have resulted in mass death among the poor inmates of the camp.

Please add in the Roman Catholic Church who turned a blind eye and actively helped leading Nazis escape retribution.
The Philippines saved 1,300 from 1937-1941 under President Manuel Quezon. He wanted to save more but unfortunately the Japanese came and bombed Manila on Dec 8,1941 and as a result halted President Quezon’s goal to save more Jews from the Nazis.
Also fail to take responsibility for fire bombing german food supply and the ensuing encirclement that kept any aid from coming in which is what was responsible for the starvation.

Never underestimate what people will do when they think they can get away with it.
That’s been very evident in recent years. You’d think we would be better humans by now
Man's inhumanity to man seems to know no bounds. Sad but true.
Perfectly said.
the prospect of ultimate power over life and death brings surely to surface the worst in mankind (this is sadly not limited to the 3.Reich) the english did commit countless atrocities, the americans as well; in the name of "racial superiortiy" ; also the colonial exploitation of africa or india is such a crime.
@@Manwendlil well said,
There was a Polish soldier turned resistance fighter who volunteered to go into the camp. He tried to organize a resistance movent in the camp. Escaped and reported to his superiors, but the allies weren't interested.
Yes, Witold Pilecki, Captain in the Polish Army under Polish government , then in Great Britain. His job was to infiltrate since at the beginning it wasn’t known what is this camp about. He organized resistance based on old system of 5 ( 1 person drafting 5 members, each of them doing the same, the 5 know only the one man who sworn them). After he escaped he wrote a report, in my view it’s one of the most valuable accounts of the horror of Auschwitz since there’s no personal accent, no emotions, just a soldier reporting what he has witnessed, as ordered. Besides he was no German, no Jewish and not a communist so it is as objective as it gets. You can read this document online; Pilecki’s report.
Sabaton did a song about him.
I live in Sydney, Australia. As a blood collector in the Eastern suburbs, I saw many arms with number tattoos. These people had immigrated to us from South Africa.
I was a young boy when I first saw one on a man. It was surreal and I knew without asking exactly what it was.
People never learned, not even today.
Explore every war sind then onwards and Pattern is always the same.
Over 90% Killed in a war conflicts are Civilians.
This is really sad reminder to all of us. 😔
We get overwhelmed w the scale and severity of all of this. It occurred to me at 21:05... the indignity of that woman seeing her mother, physically and psychologically exhausted, being dragged out of that boxcar to her fate...
Horrible, the puctures of the scared children and their parents just holding them is heartbreaking.
@@alanluscombe8a553 this is what gets me the most. I have a 3 year old daughter, and I always remind her that I'm always there to protect her and nothing will ever happen to her as long as I'm here. And seeing those children that were probably reassured that same safety, and to know they never got it, is so heart breaking 😔
There's nothing "weak" about experiencing a mental break under the pressure of the immediate gruesome death of you, your precious precious children, and your husband.

For all who suffered by the Nazis I hope you're now at rest. 😪❤

I would Like to preface this comment by saying that I do not support hate speech and I will never conduct it. Every religion has its own way, I fully respect the beliefs of every single individual and collective that is free of sin.
This channel is blatantly lying to you.
This video neglects to tell you about the conditions surrounding an entire world at war and the mindset of the people who actually went through it. But they are more than willing to blame the common folk of Germany of mass genocide, which is completely untrue.
If you want to understand more, ask me anything about the Holocaust and I will provide photo and scientific evidence for you of the events specified.
@@AworldAgainstHateSpeechhuh?
@@AworldAgainstHateSpeechThe Germans didn’t cause it per se, but they didn’t care.
I still find it very hard to believe that human beings could have been so very, very cruel. What the Germans did just wasn't human, how can people possibly think of such vile acts,it just leaves me and millions more speechless.
It didn't happen overnight. It started with the treaty of Versailles in 1918.
Can't blame all Germans, there were many who hated this. But couldn't do anything or they and their family would be killed.
that's because like in every war the other side is demonized with atrocity propaganda, doesn't mean it's true.
@@toobalkain But this was true, so your comment was pointless and in poor taste.
@@HailWoden18 it was just as true as Iraqi WMDs and Assad's gassing of his own people.

Humans failed from the moment they walked this Earth. Concentration camps wasn’t the worst thing humans invented. It’s one of the worst.
First of all, we English have made war upon our rivals in trade and commerce...in case of war with Germany, we should stand to win much and lose nothing.

I met a gentleman years ago at our church. He and his family attended there, he still had the tattoos on his arm he said he refused to have them taken off. He wanted it as a reminder as to how low mankind could fall in to depravity. He would share his time there as a child, it was gut wrenching and we cried together.
Sad to think that when they took that picture they captured the moment some where being cremated, all that smoke in the air 😢
They cremated dead bodies.
People were dying from Taifus.
That ‘smoke’ looks heavily airbrushed.
Blaming the allies for this is absurd. They were fighting a war
They could’ve done more
The Allies were already actively bombing cities deep in Germany, they had massive air superiority - but they were directed to destroy civilian morale so factories and houses were the priority targets. It's an unfortunate period, many mistakes made on all sides, all we can do is absorb the information from this era and make our own determination without bias.
Absolutely ridiculous.
China is literally trying to do the same thing and we're doing nothing
You're SO right! Grrr...
Exactly as is the left. They're doing whatever they want, nobody is stopping them, the media is complicit and so many can see what's happening and still we do nothing. The one man who tried to stop them, has been demonized and censored. If they can do that to the President of the United States, imagine what they can do to us. And yet, people actually support Biden...

i visited Auschwitz when i was 16 with school. We talked to Wilhelm Brasse, he was the Photograph who was forced to take all of the Fotos you can see for example at 12:12
He died a few years ago. I remember him saying that when he will die, his wife and love will wait for him. Now they together.
What he had seen through his Camera, what he told us how it had felt to be forced to take all those pictures...
I wish i could remember all of it exactly... But since then 10 years have washed away most of the details...
It exists a movie about him, but I´ve havent seen it jet. Its called the photographer or something like that...
I´m glad that i had the chance to meet him, speak to him and listen to his memory's...
R.I.P Wilhelm Brasse
That is a great movie about him "The Portraitist"
You are so lucky to have met him!
It seems the "normal" people of other countries could not believe that such evil could exist. The truth was mind blowing, imagination could not absorb it.
No, they simply ignored it. In truth, anti semitism was big before WWII, and many states were just as prejudiced as Germany had become. They simply didn’t care and feigned ignorance. If Germany won, a LOT of people would have been okay with this. It’s the sad truth.
The problem was not until after D-day in June of 44 was there any way a bomber could get that far east to bomb the camps. Wasn't until allied planes could take off from France. Recon plan can go farther then a bombers can and return.
@aBoughtLemon I believe the video explained they couldn't bomb from Italy with sufficient accuracy to avoid hitting the inmates and they just didn't realise the actual plight of those inmates, nor that said inmates would have welcomed being bombed.
I don't think our world has ever seen cruelty at this level in history.
You can add the current case of Gaza

In my 60s, my father told me a story about his family. They left Russia coming to the USA with papers stating they were Lutheran, in reality they were jewish. Never again to practice their faith again. My father would not undress in front of any group of people, because he had been circumcised. During the 40s even in the USA, being Jewish was hidden, by some.
Extraordinary documentary 👏🎬
BTW, the reconnaissance flight mention ed at the beginning of the documentary was from the South African Air Force.
22:45- I hadn’t heard about the gardens planted to help trick people to stay calm & not panic- even more horrifying as of that were possible!
Thank you for publishing this film... Maybe we can learn from this, but it seems that history always repeats its self. My heart aches for the Millions who lost their lives in the concentration camps....

There weren't millions of dead . That's what the winners of the war told you.

Everything's is made to exit the responsibilities of the English, but as we know, in 1943 two prisoners from Polish resistance have been incarcerated voluntary in Auschwitz and escape, and report to the embassy in London what they saw, the embassy delivered the info to the English government, and they decide to do nothing!
“We’ve got to save these people!”
Churchill : Bomb it.
34:20 The Air Ministey met fo discuss the feasability of bombing the camp w/o killing thpusands of inmates...
Like Churchill was concerned about killing Jews....
Id rather get bombed than tortured at that camp
Bombing Auschwitz would have undoubtedly killed thousands of people BUT would have saved
hundreds of thousands.
Did you not listen...'Bomb the railways leading to it.", duh.
I feel a sense of shame and guilt that the Allies knew but did little to prevent or stop this. I'm sure they had their reasons for the delay, but still many lives were lost with each day of delay. It took the end of the war, and the liberation of the camp to end this tragedy. That is most unforgivable.
Yeah, how DARE they refuse to deny the evidence of their own eyes and research? Obviously, they should have based their actions on political propaganda from nearly 100 years later.
The 40 prisoners "killed" in the raid, were merely released from an even worse fate. Having learned about the holocaust for over 40 years, it never ceases to amaze me how inhumane it all was. Just numbers on a page to be burned like brittle paper.
In Birkenau you can find tiny bits of bones when you look through the dusty soil.... I had a piece in my hand...
Of course.Where do you think they buried people who died, of illness and old age?

You insult the Polish people. They are not "Polish Death Camps" they were built by the Germans in German occupied Poland. They are German death Camps.

My comment before the last one was shadowbanned.
You can read it on page 2 4 of the book I just recommended.
I've come to the conclusion that humans are simply horrible creatures and don't expect this to every change.
I'm always slightly uncomfortable with people whose narrative is firmly: European Jews were forsaken by the Western Allies; but I understand it. Albeit an extremely negligible number in comparison, citizens of Western Allied countries were also murdered at the 6 death camps (thinking they were all sent to P.O.W. camps is incorrect). The scope and scale of this war was unprecedented in human history. While they made mistakes, I think they genuinely tried to mitigate the loss of life.

Ok. So many thousands of photos taken daily. Obviously can’t look at everything. But the very fact that the IG Farben site was under observation should have meant automatic surveillance of the area surrounding it
I met a survivor once, she told me that everybody who survived Auschwitz was in a Sonderkommando, whether they admit it or not. There was no other way.
The sonderkommando were replaced every three months and gassed themselves.
I couldn't imagine being torn away from my child n husband. My child is my life.
This amount of evil is just beyond human imagination. And to think that most of the perpetrators went unpunished.
It seems that there were too many participants in this film who were ready to make excuses for the Allies failure to take action against Auschwitz and the other death camps. So it was then, so it is now. There may be enormous differences between what happened during the Holocaust and the plight of the Uyghurs but we should focus far more on the similarities, and those similarities are stark - what little we know of the internment camps in which right now an entire ethnic group is being oppressed (to put it mildly) is without doubt the tip of the iceberg. And as in 1944 the rest of the world is doing nothing to stop the atrocity.
@Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus Without going into everything g that is abhorrent regarding Holocaust denial, it's a bit like climate change denial - 97% of climate scientists know that the global climate and ecological crisis is caused by hamanity, while the other 3% deny the overwhelming evidence for their own nefarious ends or to please their dark masters. A perfect - if sinister - parallel to those who say the Holocaust was fabricated...
Watching movies and documentaries never showed this thank u for sharing
Why the Allies did not take action after July 1944?
The answer is very simple - it was way too late !
At that time the killing operation had been terminated on Himmler's orders - an air raid would only have resulted in mass death among the poor inmates of the camp.
