Then & Now ~ Yeah, Thanks for another very interesting video. You should check out Episode 8 of the groundbreaking documentary series called Europa the last battle. You Won’t Be Disappointed.
Can’t believe that as an American, my chances of witnessing a Holocaust take place are higher than the chances I’ll ever be able to afford a home. Horrific.
You’re genuinely delusional and out if touch if you think something like the holocaust can happen in America, and even if there was a chance, the 2nd amendment is there for a reason, use your head please and stop watching mainstream media

@SEMTEX J the political party that does all the fear mongering and pushes hatred and attempts to scare people to death with supposed threats to democracy blah blah blah or the ones that I mistrust because they are misleading and it's not really true..
@@Omarboyynot just “illegal” immigrants. Soon it won’t matter if someone is illegal or not, the perception of such will cause them to be persecuted, there is another scapegoat in gay and trans people, this was also the way of nazi germany. You need to learn.
This type of stuff is *incredibly* important to discuss. We absolutely MUST study the conditions that lead to such madness. My WW2 vet grandfather instilled some profound historical perspective into me as a young kid. He was a teenager in the army during the war and was assigned a post watching over nazi POWs. The thing that struck me as odd is that he never spoke about them like they were monsters. Many of them were just like him…they were kids, they were scared, they all just wanted it to be over so they could go home…one of them even taught him how to play the harmonica. History is *filled* with regular joes who do the bidding of evil men. Vietnam, both world wars, Korea and the rest of the Cold War madness. It’s too easy to see the other side as being inhuman monsters. We’re ALL just people…the best we can do is study our behavior and try to avoid the awful mistakes that our forefathers made.
Welp, Germany went into Poland to regain lost land and to save Germans from ethnic cleansing that was going on there. Britain declared war on Germany, starting WWII. Moral of the story... just stay out of people's business. A lot less death and destruction would result. And before you start kvetching about gas chambers, look into the Haavara Agreement.
What if none of them were monsters because the Germans just put communists in those camps but because the Germans lost, a whole new and unbelievable story came from it? Because that’s what happened.
"Many of us like to ask ourselves, “What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?” The answer is, you’re doing it. Right now."

Over 800 anti trans or anti LGBT legislation has been introduced into courts across America and hundreds more are on the docket this year alone. If people don't see the parallels of the lead up to the Holocaust they're either ignorant or straight up psychopaths.
@@duceydylan4179fr, and then they use rhetoric Hitler used to justify the genocide. And saying that “Hamas started it!!” As if Hamas only exists to counteract Israel conquering their land. Israel did it to themselves.
@aarnio.e3179 idk, there's alot of people that believe Israel is good. Not doing anything bad at all for 50 years to a certain place, n many oh so many believe they aren't?
...and at the rate things are going, the time is drawing near. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Like the Nazi party itself, the impetus for this horrid history's repeat shall come from the Left.
it is, people say nothing about all the muslims and people that are getting bombed in iraq, afganistan. And the sad thing is, there are people being killed everyday in those countries and nobody says anything about it.
Unfortunately it has. The Rwandan genocide in 1994, the genocide in Cambodia under Pol Pot, the human rights violations against the Rohingya, etc., etc. Not to mention the mass murder by inaction that some western nations perpetrate on nations suffering from malnutrition, starvation, and diseases that most of us never see. We let it happen to them when we would never tolerate it for ourselves. (Yes, I know there's food aid but if we wanted to we could fix the problem).
It is really important to go into depths on why people get convinced to kill, and not dismissing everything with simple explanations like "they were horrible people", "they just didnt like each other" (which was the explanation I was given for the genocides in the breakup of Yugoslavia in middle school when I asked about it), "authority made them do it" or other such crap. Great video!
Unfortunately, simple explanations are the most some people can handle. Even this video only touches below the surface of what was done or why, and I appreciate that it goes into the horrors felt by the aggressors as well as the victims. I also appreciate that he helps me feel the ugly without forcing me to actually experience it. Forgive me for such an insensitive remark, though there's no shame in admitting that I wouldn't have survived in any role. Blessings to those who did, and to their descendants!
I couldn’t have killed a child… no propaganda could demonise or justify the killing of a baby or child. It’s not possible they are innocent. How could they have killed babies …they didn’t have the grace of God and they allowed the devil spirit to consume them. The devil in action.
Perhaps the simple answer is that it can't and won't ever be understood WHY. And I have no doubt that if the state of Israel is ever overrun the same thing is going to happen to them, or at least the effort will be made.
The truly scary message is that understanding the holocaust helps us to understand ourselves. Or rather what we have the potential to sink to. Self awareness and self examination is key. Group think is a powerful influence because it’s a human condition to want to belong to some group or be accepted and protected by a tribe.
I'm 40 minutes into this and I had to take a pause. This video is nothing short of brilliant. It has become exceedingly scarce to hear a story told in a creative and innovative way, but here I've found one of those rarities. Before I go back to watching this I would like to thank you for making such an honorable tribute to those who were murdered in the Holocaust. You will never know what you mean to so many of us because there exist no words to describe the feeling, but it is an endless river of gratitude. Let us never repeat the errors of our past and may we all remember too, Never Forget!

scary that we americans are all here right now watching this. but also, i love that we are serious about educating ourselves. we have to fight back. we can’t stand here and let this happen.
I would say that the book "ordinary men" is the most haunting and chilling bit of history I've ever read. The fact that, if you or I could walk away from mass murder with no consequence, it would still happen. Some other ordinary man would carry out the orders. Choosing to be a moral person has no real effect on our history, and that is one of the hardest pills to swallow
Right, on a larger level, the majority of people have no effect, however, on an individual level, you choosing not to participate in genocide might save several lives. We should all strive to leave the world better. just because you probably can't stop a genocide by yourself, doesn't mean you can't at least have a good impact.
I agree with you for sure. I read the book more than a decade ago and a question is still firmly embedded in my mind, if in a situation comparable with the one these men of 101 in what group I would be, the few that refused to kill of the majority that get used to it. I'm lucky and don't have to test my moral strenght, but the virtual answer chills my bones. The book is an oustanding historical reserch, for method and interest of the theme.
That is absolutely not true, people who hold up morality keep the world from decending into complete chaos. Do you really think the people who have participated in massacres really get off Scott free? Even if you don't get put in jail, you would never be the same and would be tortured by what you did for the rest of your life. I'd argue that is one of the worst punishments of all.
Mass psychosis, peer pressure, fear, and cowardness and selflessness is why the "men" you speak of murderer innocent children. Be a horrible slave, don't be afraid to die as you WILL surely die anyway. If the majority fights the majority wins. Unfortunately most people are too selfish to stand up ALONE for what is right, so instead they cower and make good slaves.
Thank you for tackling this difficult subject so thoroughly, bravely and honestly. I'm from Kenya (luckily, in this part of the world). I've grown up seeing waves of refugees escaping genocide since I was a child, Eritrea, Tigray, Darfur, Rwanda, the DRC, I was even in the first cohort of African students to go to post-aparthied South Africa for university, a country that very narrowly avoided what might have become the first nuclear genocide, believe it or not. Many don't know how the CIA and South African special forces chased down the apartheid regime's nuclear weapons, finding them across barns and goodness knows where before Mandela was sworn into power. We've lived and continue to live in a seriously disturbed world. We must be grateful to scholars and intellectuals like you for tackling and attempting to understand & so help to heal, these catastrophic social pathologies.
@@thecianinator Yap. It was a freaking crazy time. And there's more. I could tell you crazy tales all day long. From Winnie Mandela straddling a teenage boy called Stompie and stabbing him to death in a bathtub (which is why Madiba divorced her when he got out of jail) to an SAA flight catching fire and breaking up over the Indian Ocean near Mauritius, carrying radioactive contraband from Taiwan, some say they were cooperating with them on a nuclear weapon and they had stored the enriched U235 rods inadequately shielded and too close to each other, which is exactly how a civilian nuclear reactor generates heat and fire broke out in the cargo hold. When I was a first year in UCT, Grace Mugabe would come to Cape Town on Air Zimbabwe, entire first class booked, of course, for her entourage, to shop, then on the flight back, they would have to wait even if the flight was up to three hours late, for her to finish shopping. A maid once went into her hotel suite to do some housekeeping, thinking she was out. Bad luck to her she found her in the room. She got slapped senseless. Right now the world is polarising along a democracies vs. tyrannies fault line that transcends regions, religions and races. From the times I've lived in, I know what side I'm on. People who live in the free world have no idea what they've got. And I know first hand what I'm talking about. I did my second degree in the UK and I've been lucky enough to travel the world with my work. Sometimes real life is crazier than the movies, you best believe it. It's a mad mad world.👋🏿♡🕊
I read Browning‘s book about the police battalion 101 and the psychology behind the desensitisation of (mass)murder and it deeply affected and horrified me. I think it should be read by more people. I wish we read and analysed it at school because only if you understand the history you can learn from it. I think about this book almost every day.
People are already being desensitized to those in opposition of the system. When people would celebrate the death of someone for simply being on the left or right, id say we’re already there. The new white rose movement is being labeled right wing and assigned all attributes of those on the right and trump supporters. All for being against the system even those on the left hate as well
The quality of this channel is simply astounding. Every video is very well researched, thought out and the narration is amazing. I hate that youtube doesn't reward creators like this with monetization just because they touch on sensitive topics.
I look forward to his next documentary highlighting the ethnic cleansing of thousands of innocent Palestinians by the racist Zionists in Israel. Or NOT.
Thanks. It's such a hot topic here in Germany to even dare try and analyse it. So I'm glad people from the outside are doing it. There are many parallels between the situations of Germans then and Russians now, the same twisted sense of victimization, that isn't even entirely unfounded, just wholey misdirected
The fact that it's a hot topic is concerning, it's usually a hot topic when there are a ton of people who argue for and against it in a nearly proportional quantity. Do they still argue in favour of the nazis over there? If they do, that's really embarrassing.
@@superdiego.g Rather the opposite. It's rather sensitive than hot, but as a german, you can basically just lose when exploring the psychology behind this - it is taken as relativization if you even attempt to think something other than "These people were just evil and inhumane pricks". Germany never really reprocessed the Nazi era. It's still a collective trauma, and it's just easier to say "these were very evil people", make a few memorial sites for the holocaust and air WWII documentaries all day, than to sit and think how this could have happened to people like you and me.
I find it troubling that UA-cam would demonetize an educational piece of this nature. It is a warning to us all: Do not become lazy, do not think it couldn't happen here. Do not imagine that we, each of us, would be immune to becoming the evil we fear. I know this is a harsh lesson, but punishing it, and it's creator, smacks of the same attempt to control all information that is mentioned in the video... Oh. I see.
Its already happening here. Divide and Conquer is working like a charm on the dumbed down selfish, self entitled spoiled brats of America. Once the Traitors in the White House brand all Republicans and political critics as enemies of the state and give their Democratic followers a free pass to target and kill us. The bloodshed will be endless.
This same video is still being promoted by the algorithm, so no, I don’t think the lack of monetization has anything to do with “big UA-cam” wanting to suppress the information. They still want you to watch the video and spend extra time using their app. They just also know most advertisers don’t want their name associated with historical atrocities because it doesn’t exactly make you want a Whopper when a cheery ad for Burger King plays in the middle of your Holocaust educational video. It creates the “wrong” association in the view of the advertisers. If they wanted to suppress this information, I never would have seen it, considering I don’t watch historical channels at all and have never heard of this man until this was recommended to me. Your logic does not line up with reality.
Just remember 1.5 years ago - the unvaxxed are dirty people that should die, not have a job, and not have a place in society. Those who question the vac should be censored and sent death threats. Nothing to see here…..
“It is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they’re being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for their lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.” -Reich Marshal Hermann Göring at the Nuremberg Trials
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out-because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out-because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me-and there was no one left to speak for me. -Martin Niemöller
@@Historia.Magistra.Vitae.With a channel name like yours I’ll take your word for it! Lol I’m back here to rewatch. Hoping I can get some insight in how one of the most oppressed groups of people in human history. Became the oppressor? 😢
@@ShilohAmore: Don't need to take my word for it. It's said in the Wiki also, under the article "First they came..." _"Niemöller is quoted as having used many versions of the text during his career, but evidence identified by professor Harold Marcuse at the University of California Santa Barbara indicates that the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum version is inaccurate because Niemöller frequently used the word "communists" and not "socialists." The substitution of "socialists" for "communists" is an effect of anti-communism, and most common in the version that has proliferated in the United States. According to Marcuse, "Niemöller's original argument was premised on naming groups he and his audience would instinctively not care about. The omission of Communists in Washington, and of Jews in Germany, distorts that meaning and should be corrected.""_
@@Historia.Magistra.Vitae. Either way the meaning stays the same for me. They’re all just spokes on a wheel. This one's on top, then that one's on top, and on and on it spins, crushing those on the ground.
“The enemy within”… gee, in the US, November 2024, that phrase seems so familiar… like maybe one of our politicians was repeating it during his campaign…
I literally just saw a MAGAt in this comment section implying that they elected Trump because he stands AGAINST this rhetoric. The people that have fallen for his lies are the same as the German people of the late 1930s that fell for Hitler’s lies.
@@GiveMeLibertyOrGiveMeDeath147 Trump literally said we have an enemy within which is more dangerous than any enemy from outside it has nothing to do with a psyop that's what he fucking said on video
This is exactly what I was looking for, an explanation that would make sense as to how and why this even happened, very well done to the creator. This should have much more views.
Basically, people care so much about being in the IN group, what others think and say about them, how they’re perceived by their peers, what their favorite politicians and celebrities say on Twitter about a given topic, making sure they’re sufficiently at odds with the out group, that they’re willing to do literally anything. I just find that so pathetic. The only thing people should be loyal to is the truth. Find out what’s true and stick to the principles. People should be concerned about what’s true above everything else, especially over “does this help my team or not?”, or “do I like the person or outlet sharing this truth?”. None of that matters until you’ve decided whether the claims of each side are true or not. If one side is 100% correct and telling the truth then that’s the good guys. If the other side is telling lies either by omission or just bold faced lies, then they’re the bad guys. If both sides are lying equally then they’re all bad guys.
Like the genocide loving maniacs whose very charters say and i quote "Israel (infidels in general) exists and will continue to exist until Islam wipes it out"?
Gazan citizens are why Hamas is given the mandate to murder Jewish babies and rape Jewish women. They celebrate their atrocities. They are the perpetual victimhood who blames everyone else for their situation. Jordan got rid of them, Kuwait deported 300,000 of them, Egypt closed the border to them, everyone knows they are trouble. And they do want to finish what Hitler started. From the river to the sea. Time to rethink your views
This is exactly the place. After decades of oppressing, terrorizing and dehumanizing the Palestinians, Israelis finally get to wipe out the human animals right. According to mainstream media, poor Israel. These monsters have the audacity to play the victims. Fucking unbelievable.
@@Oboxedyou’re very small minded and immature, the holocaust shouldn’t intrigue you because it’s entertaining or “interesting”, it should intrigue you because it’s mass genocide and many were brutally hurt, tortured, killed, as a human being with morale; that’s why you should care to learn about the history.
@@OboxedObviously we should always be learning, but clearly most people are choosing this topic right now since the US is on gen*cide watch and fuhrer45 is opening a concentration camp in Guantanamo.
I'm so glad that this channel is finally starting to get the appreciation it deserves. This man is without a doubt the best video essayist on this platform. So nuanced and well-researched. This is a very difficult topic to talk about, but this was done brilliantly.
He's entirely respectful, and humanizes all parties so that we can understand what they might have been thinking and feeling. Not an easy task! I also appreciate the references along the way, partly because I caught a surprise reference to one of my favorite experts.
@@GamerWordDotNet Sorry, was this video not pro-hitler enough for you? Not anti-semitic enough? ... and are you based in the UK/Ireland, mainland Europe or North America? Regardless, what are you doing trying to start pro-hitler fights with strangers in the middle of the night on a Tuesday you psycho?
This is why training in the military changed. My husband is retired from the US Navy... if you believe a command from your higher rank is asking you to do something that goes against the Geneva convention, the rules of war, or just plain human decency, you have the obligation to question the command. Simply saying "i was ordered to do it" is no longer a justifiable reason.
Look at your repliers. How they bait you. "How's that?" "Explain you statements" "What do you REALLY mean?" When they know the answer to their own question, they can feel free of shared guilt.
Sometimes fear of ending up the same way has been used to get people to do unspeakable things. In the Cambodia genocide in the mid to late 70s, teenagers and young adults were gotten to commit horrendous acts on their fellow countrymen, especially in prisons like S21 - one major reason for them doing such a thing is that if they didn't, or if they messed up on the job (slept on the job, sat down at the wrong time, unauthorised speaking to the prisoners, accidentally killed a prison during torture etc.) then they would be next into the cells to suffer the same treatment. Of the 20,000 people that were known to have gone through that particular prison, only 12 survived. It is now a museum, I would strongly recommend people go to visit it (and the killing fields), it is an incredibly sombre experience to see the multiple photos of the inmates (the Khmer Rouge took meticulous records of whom they imprisoned). One thing we do know is that these genocides are not as rare as we would like them to be - there are many that have occurred since the holocaust.
Isn't this happening now in the US and Canada? The propaganda is that white people are bad and therefor they should be replaced by people of colour. However, I fear that because white people are the majority there will be a civil war.
We all know that horrible crimes are committed and rationalized by ideology, religion, and racism. The human man and has a seemingly infinite ability justify anything.
I’ve been to both places in Cambodia (If S21 is the former school in a Phnom Penh). It changed my life. As you said just because the Holocaust happened in Europe doesn’t mean it was the last genocide. The Rwandan one was absolutely terrifying in terms of speed.
I’ve never been so impacted by hearing about the Holocaust till now. Hearing the soldier’s stories absolutely breaks my heart. I want to break down and sob and throw up
Great work. Your the first person I've heard of that emphasized that reality of the lynchers and Nazis, etc acting largely out of a twisted sense of being a victim. I've came to this in my own individual meditations on the topic. I love how methodical your analysis is.
@@newadam573 a race of people who’ve suffered hundreds of years of oppression from a country and it’s systems are the literal definition of victims -unlike the nonsense victimhood claims of the US right who insist they’re being silenced while it’s they who hold the levers of power.

The Nazis picked up the idea of eliminating certain people groups from American eugenecists. Our country at the time had 26 states with eugenics laws that allowed for the sterilization of people deemed to be unfit or racially inferior.
That wasn't the only tactic inspired by this country. Jim crow laws were also looked favorably upon. Hitler also loved the Brits and their colonies. All of these fascist tactics and ideologies existed in the world long before the Holocaust. It just didn't matter to the western world until it happened to white ppl.
This is crazy, it's very informative to see things from the opposite perspective and how people could comply to such heinous crimes against fellow humans.
@@darraghwilliamson3689 Yep, the rhetoric back then certainly went in the same direction whenever emotional hotheads got their hands on a mic in public.

This is always an interesting topic to explore. It would be nice if more people would investigate this topic or understand how things like this happen, particularly with things happening in Gaza, china, republican states and many other places around the world.
People who literally collaborated with the third reich and openly asked for an alliance, with the force that ultimately culminated in the mass extermination of European Jewry committing a genocide? No, color me shocked 🤪
Let me pretend to be shocked like a European (Americans included) who reaped great benefit from the exact same thing for hundreds of years. "how is this happening" excuse me I'm getting emotional, let me wipe my tears with these greenbacks your sacrifice and natural resources afforded me. It feels so great to be on the "good" team
in the words of"the great English 'hero'" Churchil - "I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place."

I cant put into words how amazing and horrifying this video is. It exposes all of us as vulnerable to the hate and evil in which our leaders may impose upon common people. The fact that rationalization intends to justify the actions of something so gruesome as murder reminds me of what FDR once said in his famous speech: "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." Education is intrinsic for the safety and peace of the world.
All of us? I don’t agree. There were those who helped hide people. There were those who stepped down and refused orders. Just like those who helped escaped slaves and fought to free them. People like Thomas Paine who were born in a time where slavery and white supremacy were the norm and they still spoke out against it. In any atrocity, you will find those who knew it was wrong, proving it was absolutely possible to know better.
@@katelynnehansen8115 when i say all of us as vulnerable, im referring to the common person in society who can possibly rationalize actions as just under any circumstance. The people who did participate in such heinous acts were convinced that the terrorization was righteous, trusting their leaders and propoganda, all while under a new standard of conformity. I know there are many people who stood against these horrific crimes, but its intrinsic to understand the history and psychology that answers the questions "why did ordinary people commit genocide?" and "how and what led up to their decisions to murder millions of people?"
I think it had a lot to do with the times. People’s values, morals and standards were vastly different back then. Propaganda was easier to spread and it unfortunately wasn’t hard to push a racist rhetoric.
@@bwedd3772 The way the third reich worked was basically classic cult indoctrination to wich people are absolutely still as vulnerable today as back then.

"He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him." - C.G. Jung, on Hitler and the Shadow
that's what carl didn't understand, the shadow side is not inferior that's only his faulty perception. the shadow side of humanity is 1 of the most important parts of humans, it helps teach us what to not b like or what traps not to fall into/where we can "improve". it's a tool for growth, without it or ppl embodying it we r unable to grow. you can't know what to do "properly" if you don't know what the "improper" way is. carl's viewing the shadow as inferior is not different than Hitler seeing the jews as inferior imo, it's all perception.
@Daniel Duvalle The part for me that is inexplicable is that many people say he wasn't crazy. Yes, crazy is rather obtuse, and non-clinical, but what he did is most definitely not normal behavior. The same goes for all of his crew, too.
You people are such hypocrites. To believe one holocaust happened But choose not to believe Black people in this country are experiencing a holocaust as we speak.
This is amazing. I don’t think I’ve ever been more interested from another UA-cam video in my life. The explanations and information is presented so well it was effortless to thoroughly understand. Thank you
Wow wow! This was fantastic. With what’s happening in Gaza/Israel right now I feel like there’s a lot to take away from this. I’ve been so curious about the psychology around it all and you touched on many points that I can do further research into. Thank you for this quality video.
Look at the hate between the left and the right. Manipulation of public opinion to dehumanize people is way too easy. Especially when trusting organizations people shouldn’t be trusting. Especially when those organizations are focusing on peoples differences. Similarities unite and differences divide. Anyone pointing out peoples similarities?
Whats strange is that jews and the Palestinians were doing fine together before they decided to make a border. Once they started goingbthis is my land, this is yours was when all hell broke lose.
If anyone wants even more detail, read The Origins of Totalitarianism by Hannah Arendt. Even today this seminal work is widely regarded as one of the most important texts on the subject. Nice video.
Europeans(not all) hated the Holocaust or genocide and yet accept the Palestinian oppression all while u got the state of Ukraine to compare. Its Irony in its purest
“The truth fears no investigation". Agreed, and I question the claims of Holocaust deniers. Seems to be a lot of hate thrown my way by them for doing that.
This is a brilliant analysis. It makes me scared about the prospect of being influenced to do something like this, in fear of losing your job, being ostracized or losing your livelihood/life yourself. I guess you have to think if someone in a position of authority asks you to do something you feel is wrong or don't feel comfortable with, you should refuse. With this regime it was weird how it started out slowly with a drip drip drip of making people's lives better, and then they were instructed to do evil acts which they complied with. This is hard to watch because it makes you realise that all or most people could be complicit in doing horrendous evil acts.
The USA murdered 70,000 children broadcast nearly live around the world for no reason other than oil contacts yet zero remorse or sense of shame. The power of televisión coupled to public education equals yes it not only can happen it is happening. How many police pull people over for Driving While Black. Who says shit about it?
@@shakey3306Laugh while you can, monkey boy. You have a lot to learn. Quit throwing mud at what you don't understand anyway and pull the mote out of your eye. This person is learning something, and all you know how to do is practice one of the most obvious of ignorant attitudes that leads to holocausts and genocides: They-ism.
I wanna thank you as many others in thr comments already did. I'm German, in my 30s and after discussing WWII, Hitler and the Holocaust in depth in school I finally feel like I'm old enough to really understand and want to work through reasons that led to those horrific actions. Your video helped me understand a lot better and I think I might reread The Wave by M. Rhue now as it ties in nicely with the topic of manipulation and in- and outgroups. Thanks again. :)
Well done to the inventor, this is exactly what I was hoping for-an explanation that would make sense as to how and why this even occurred. This ought to receive a lot more views.
Amazing work. You're the only person I've heard of who has stressed the fact that Nazis and lynchers alike acted primarily out of a perverted feeling of victimhood. I've reached this conclusion after reflecting about the subject on my own. How systematic your analysis is, I adore.
The perpetual victimhood is a feature of the far right. That’s typical of an authoritarian. They require enemies to hate. For the GOP and Trump it’s the “Marxist, communist radical left” (that doesn’t exist.) Trump never does anything wrong - he and his blind followers are just being victimized by the “radical left” even though Trump is committing crimes and preaching hate. Even when there’s video tape showing him committing crimes, he denied it and his followers believe it.
What was perverted about their sense of victimhood? Are you familiar with the bolshevik revolution? Do you know what happened in the holomodor? What about the treatment of German nationals in Danzig? The Weimar degeneracy and perversion of German culture and values? These are all examples of outside forces attempting to alter the course of the German people.
Terrifying how much of this applies to Trump,MAGA, and the current situation in the USA. Sickening. Thank you for such a well done, and ever important, documentary.
Horrible things are happening to Palestinians. Yet in much the same way a lot of people are either lost in the pro paganda that dehumanizes and justifies the atrocities or are unable to do anything against the power at play.

Thank you for such a high quality, well presented video. For years I have pondered the question of why a people could collectively turn on another group as they did in Nazi led Germany and have done so many times since across the world. Recently watching an interview of a Holocaust survivor she finished the interview by answering a question of a young person in the audience. They had asked her how was it possible to prevent such an evil thing from happening again. Her reply was to educate themselves, to think, question and analyse what they were told. You have provided a concise account of how and what to analyse, question and think about. A clear window into the manipulation that we may stumble into.
If you want answers, look no further than America. For years I have pondered the question of why a people, having been saved from the nazis by the sacrifice of US soldiers and graciously given refuge in the land of the free, would turn on their host society and ceaselessly push anti-white propaganda narratives, internet censorship, mass migration, foreign wars, anti-christian rhetoric, attack and defile all notions of conventional morality. And then, have the audacity to call anyone opposed to these things a "nazi". How can we prevent such evil abuse of power and goodwill? We must learn and analyse their manipulation tactics. Never again....
The Zionist movement started long before the rise of Nazi Germany and the Zionists were complicit it stirring up antisemitism to aid in achieving their goal of the colonization of Palestine. At the very least their actions contributed to the number of deaths. I recommend reading Ralph Schoenman’s “The Hidden History of Zionism.” It is available for free online. It is complete with references that substantiate its claims (and quotations). There also other publications that corroborate the historical facts.
Excellent documentary. Understanding why the Holocaust happened is such an important issue to understand. With the throw away line "never let it happen again" there is humanity's intent to not allow another holocaust. However it is looking at the cause and reasons why it happened and how it became a self perpetuating system under Nazi Germany that allows us today to truly understand history and have the intellect and understanding to give meaning to the words "never let it happen again" when they are said. Unfortunately as stated towards the beginning of the documentary we live in one of the most violent periods in history where genocide and ethnic killings is now common place in theatres of conflict.
I couldn’t have killed a child… no propaganda could demonise or justify the killing of a baby or child. It’s not possible they are innocent. How could they have killed babies …they didn’t have the grace of God and they allowed the devil spirit to consume them. The devil in action.
Lies You tell.... A holocaust and genocide is literally happening to black people everyday in America. But you don't see that as the same. Why what makes those people so special?
16:16 broke me. I was saddened thinking about the increasing callousness of the executions, then seeing the people walking to their deaths, followed by gunshots... I've never cried hearing or thinking about the holocaust until now.
They did this to Germany. Do your own research, those monsters got what they deserved and will again soon. Jews literally declared war on Germany it was self defence

It's great that this was on my recommended the day after the inauguration LOL
Why lol this is a video about the holocaust??
This type of stuff is *incredibly* important to discuss. We absolutely MUST study the conditions that lead to such madness. My WW2 vet grandfather instilled some profound historical perspective into me as a young kid. He was a teenager in the army during the war and was assigned a post watching over nazi POWs. The thing that struck me as odd is that he never spoke about them like they were monsters. Many of them were just like him…they were kids, they were scared, they all just wanted it to be over so they could go home…one of them even taught him how to play the harmonica. History is *filled* with regular joes who do the bidding of evil men. Vietnam, both world wars, Korea and the rest of the Cold War madness. It’s too easy to see the other side as being inhuman monsters. We’re ALL just people…the best we can do is study our behavior and try to avoid the awful mistakes that our forefathers made.
Welp, Germany went into Poland to regain lost land and to save Germans from ethnic cleansing that was going on there. Britain declared war on Germany, starting WWII. Moral of the story... just stay out of people's business. A lot less death and destruction would result. And before you start kvetching about gas chambers, look into the Haavara Agreement.
Lest the sins be visited on the sons.
Great point look at all the idiots that believed in the Covid “vaccine”
What if none of them were monsters because the Germans just put communists in those camps but because the Germans lost, a whole new and unbelievable story came from it?
Because that’s what happened.

Unfortunately it has. The Rwandan genocide in 1994, the genocide in Cambodia under Pol Pot, the human rights violations against the Rohingya, etc., etc. Not to mention the mass murder by inaction that some western nations perpetrate on nations suffering from malnutrition, starvation, and diseases that most of us never see. We let it happen to them when we would never tolerate it for ourselves. (Yes, I know there's food aid but if we wanted to we could fix the problem).

@@axehomicidethat’s not what genocide is buddy
@@ymaifiyv6589 oh please don't insult our intelligence.
It is really important to go into depths on why people get convinced to kill, and not dismissing everything with simple explanations like "they were horrible people", "they just didnt like each other" (which was the explanation I was given for the genocides in the breakup of Yugoslavia in middle school when I asked about it), "authority made them do it" or other such crap. Great video!
Unfortunately, simple explanations are the most some people can handle. Even this video only touches below the surface of what was done or why, and I appreciate that it goes into the horrors felt by the aggressors as well as the victims. I also appreciate that he helps me feel the ugly without forcing me to actually experience it. Forgive me for such an insensitive remark, though there's no shame in admitting that I wouldn't have survived in any role. Blessings to those who did, and to their descendants!

How could they have killed babies …they didn’t have the grace of God and they allowed the devil spirit to consume them. The devil in action.
Perhaps the simple answer is that it can't and won't ever be understood WHY. And I have no doubt that if the state of Israel is ever overrun the same thing is going to happen to them, or at least the effort will be made.
@@indy_go_blue6048 The lies you tell
The truly scary message is that understanding the holocaust helps us to understand ourselves. Or rather what we have the potential to sink to. Self awareness and self examination is key. Group think is a powerful influence because it’s a human condition to want to belong to some group or be accepted and protected by a tribe.
I'm 40 minutes into this and I had to take a pause. This video is nothing short of brilliant. It has become exceedingly scarce to hear a story told in a creative and innovative way, but here I've found one of those rarities. Before I go back to watching this I would like to thank you for making such an honorable tribute to those who were murdered in the Holocaust. You will never know what you mean to so many of us because there exist no words to describe the feeling, but it is an endless river of gratitude. Let us never repeat the errors of our past and may we all remember too, Never Forget!

I would say that the book "ordinary men" is the most haunting and chilling bit of history I've ever read. The fact that, if you or I could walk away from mass murder with no consequence, it would still happen. Some other ordinary man would carry out the orders. Choosing to be a moral person has no real effect on our history, and that is one of the hardest pills to swallow
Right, on a larger level, the majority of people have no effect, however, on an individual level, you choosing not to participate in genocide might save several lives. We should all strive to leave the world better. just because you probably can't stop a genocide by yourself, doesn't mean you can't at least have a good impact.
I agree with you for sure. I read the book more than a decade ago and a question is still firmly embedded in my mind, if in a situation comparable with the one these men of 101 in what group I would be, the few that refused to kill of the majority that get used to it. I'm lucky and don't have to test my moral strenght, but the virtual answer chills my bones.
The book is an oustanding historical reserch, for method and interest of the theme.
That is absolutely not true, people who hold up morality keep the world from decending into complete chaos. Do you really think the people who have participated in massacres really get off Scott free? Even if you don't get put in jail, you would never be the same and would be tortured by what you did for the rest of your life. I'd argue that is one of the worst punishments of all.
Mass psychosis, peer pressure, fear, and cowardness and selflessness is why the "men" you speak of murderer innocent children.
Be a horrible slave, don't be afraid to die as you WILL surely die anyway.
If the majority fights the majority wins. Unfortunately most people are too selfish to stand up ALONE for what is right, so instead they cower and make good slaves.
I read Ordinary Men at the beginning of the pandemic and immediately saw who the ordinary men & women are in our society. Scared the shite out of me.
Thank you for tackling this difficult subject so thoroughly, bravely and honestly. I'm from Kenya (luckily, in this part of the world). I've grown up seeing waves of refugees escaping genocide since I was a child, Eritrea, Tigray, Darfur, Rwanda, the DRC, I was even in the first cohort of African students to go to post-aparthied South Africa for university, a country that very narrowly avoided what might have become the first nuclear genocide, believe it or not. Many don't know how the CIA and South African special forces chased down the apartheid regime's nuclear weapons, finding them across barns and goodness knows where before Mandela was sworn into power. We've lived and continue to live in a seriously disturbed world. We must be grateful to scholars and intellectuals like you for tackling and attempting to understand & so help to heal, these catastrophic social pathologies.

When I was a first year in UCT, Grace Mugabe would come to Cape Town on Air Zimbabwe, entire first class booked, of course, for her entourage, to shop, then on the flight back, they would have to wait even if the flight was up to three hours late, for her to finish shopping. A maid once went into her hotel suite to do some housekeeping, thinking she was out. Bad luck to her she found her in the room. She got slapped senseless.

I read Browning‘s book about the police battalion 101 and the psychology behind the desensitisation of (mass)murder and it deeply affected and horrified me. I think it should be read by more people. I wish we read and analysed it at school because only if you understand the history you can learn from it.
I think about this book almost every day.
I appreciate book recommendations, so thanks for this.
💯
People are already being desensitized to those in opposition of the system. When people would celebrate the death of someone for simply being on the left or right, id say we’re already there. The new white rose movement is being labeled right wing and assigned all attributes of those on the right and trump supporters. All for being against the system even those on the left hate as well
I also read it and highly recommend it.
How is the holocaust different from the genocide conducted by Israel?
The quality of this channel is simply astounding. Every video is very well researched, thought out and the narration is amazing. I hate that youtube doesn't reward creators like this with monetization just because they touch on sensitive topics.
I look forward to his next documentary highlighting the ethnic cleansing of thousands of innocent Palestinians by the racist Zionists in Israel. Or NOT.
In America they have appointed Mexicans as the enemy.
UA-cam lacks values.
Thanks. It's such a hot topic here in Germany to even dare try and analyse it. So I'm glad people from the outside are doing it. There are many parallels between the situations of Germans then and Russians now, the same twisted sense of victimization, that isn't even entirely unfounded, just wholey misdirected
Yes, the parallels are frightening, but I will still maintain that the only real victimizers of the Russians are the Russians themselves.
The fact that it's a hot topic is concerning, it's usually a hot topic when there are a ton of people who argue for and against it in a nearly proportional quantity. Do they still argue in favour of the nazis over there? If they do, that's really embarrassing.
@@superdiego.g Rather the opposite. It's rather sensitive than hot, but as a german, you can basically just lose when exploring the psychology behind this - it is taken as relativization if you even attempt to think something other than "These people were just evil and inhumane pricks".
Germany never really reprocessed the Nazi era. It's still a collective trauma, and it's just easier to say "these were very evil people", make a few memorial sites for the holocaust and air WWII documentaries all day, than to sit and think how this could have happened to people like you and me.
Thank God current day Russia is far less powerful as WW era Germany. Like, not 1% as effective.
It's becoming a hot topic in America, it's been growing for a couple of decades now....
We're so fkn dumb I swear
Watching this now and people still aren’t seeing it.
I find it troubling that UA-cam would demonetize an educational piece of this nature. It is a warning to us all: Do not become lazy, do not think it couldn't happen here. Do not imagine that we, each of us, would be immune to becoming the evil we fear.
I know this is a harsh lesson, but punishing it, and it's creator, smacks of the same attempt to control all information that is mentioned in the video...
Oh.
I see.
Its already happening here. Divide and Conquer is working like a charm on the dumbed down selfish, self entitled spoiled brats of America. Once the Traitors in the White House brand all Republicans and political critics as enemies of the state and give their Democratic followers a free pass to target and kill us. The bloodshed will be endless.
This same video is still being promoted by the algorithm, so no, I don’t think the lack of monetization has anything to do with “big UA-cam” wanting to suppress the information. They still want you to watch the video and spend extra time using their app. They just also know most advertisers don’t want their name associated with historical atrocities because it doesn’t exactly make you want a Whopper when a cheery ad for Burger King plays in the middle of your Holocaust educational video. It creates the “wrong” association in the view of the advertisers.
If they wanted to suppress this information, I never would have seen it, considering I don’t watch historical channels at all and have never heard of this man until this was recommended to me.

_"Niemöller is quoted as having used many versions of the text during his career, but evidence identified by professor Harold Marcuse at the University of California Santa Barbara indicates that the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum version is inaccurate because Niemöller frequently used the word "communists" and not "socialists." The substitution of "socialists" for "communists" is an effect of anti-communism, and most common in the version that has proliferated in the United States. According to Marcuse, "Niemöller's original argument was premised on naming groups he and his audience would instinctively not care about. The omission of Communists in Washington, and of Jews in Germany, distorts that meaning and should be corrected.""_

This is exactly what I was looking for, an explanation that would make sense as to how and why this even happened, very well done to the creator. This should have much more views.
Basically, people care so much about being in the IN group, what others think and say about them, how they’re perceived by their peers, what their favorite politicians and celebrities say on Twitter about a given topic, making sure they’re sufficiently at odds with the out group, that they’re willing to do literally anything. I just find that so pathetic. The only thing people should be loyal to is the truth. Find out what’s true and stick to the principles. People should be concerned about what’s true above everything else, especially over “does this help my team or not?”, or “do I like the person or outlet sharing this truth?”. None of that matters until you’ve decided whether the claims of each side are true or not. If one side is 100% correct and telling the truth then that’s the good guys. If the other side is telling lies either by omission or just bold faced lies, then they’re the bad guys. If both sides are lying equally then they’re all bad guys.

Sometimes fear of ending up the same way has been used to get people to do unspeakable things. In the Cambodia genocide in the mid to late 70s, teenagers and young adults were gotten to commit horrendous acts on their fellow countrymen, especially in prisons like S21 - one major reason for them doing such a thing is that if they didn't, or if they messed up on the job (slept on the job, sat down at the wrong time, unauthorised speaking to the prisoners, accidentally killed a prison during torture etc.) then they would be next into the cells to suffer the same treatment. Of the 20,000 people that were known to have gone through that particular prison, only 12 survived.
It is now a museum, I would strongly recommend people go to visit it (and the killing fields), it is an incredibly sombre experience to see the multiple photos of the inmates (the Khmer Rouge took meticulous records of whom they imprisoned).
One thing we do know is that these genocides are not as rare as we would like them to be - there are many that have occurred since the holocaust.
Isn't this happening now in the US and Canada? The propaganda is that white people are bad and therefor they should be replaced by people of colour. However, I fear that because white people are the majority there will be a civil war.
We all know that horrible crimes are committed and rationalized by ideology, religion, and racism. The human man and has a seemingly infinite ability justify anything.
I’ve been to both places in Cambodia (If S21 is the former school in a Phnom Penh). It changed my life. As you said just because the Holocaust happened in Europe doesn’t mean it was the last genocide. The Rwandan one was absolutely terrifying in terms of speed.

The Nazis picked up the idea of eliminating certain people groups from American eugenecists. Our country at the time had 26 states with eugenics laws that allowed for the sterilization of people deemed to be unfit or racially inferior.
That wasn't the only tactic inspired by this country. Jim crow laws were also looked favorably upon. Hitler also loved the Brits and their colonies. All of these fascist tactics and ideologies existed in the world long before the Holocaust. It just didn't matter to the western world until it happened to white ppl.
This is what made America "Great"

I cant put into words how amazing and horrifying this video is. It exposes all of us as vulnerable to the hate and evil in which our leaders may impose upon common people. The fact that rationalization intends to justify the actions of something so gruesome as murder reminds me of what FDR once said in his famous speech: "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." Education is intrinsic for the safety and peace of the world.
All of us? I don’t agree. There were those who helped hide people. There were those who stepped down and refused orders. Just like those who helped escaped slaves and fought to free them. People like Thomas Paine who were born in a time where slavery and white supremacy were the norm and they still spoke out against it. In any atrocity, you will find those who knew it was wrong, proving it was absolutely possible to know better.
@@katelynnehansen8115 when i say all of us as vulnerable, im referring to the common person in society who can possibly rationalize actions as just under any circumstance. The people who did participate in such heinous acts were convinced that the terrorization was righteous, trusting their leaders and propoganda, all while under a new standard of conformity. I know there are many people who stood against these horrific crimes, but its intrinsic to understand the history and psychology that answers the questions "why did ordinary people commit genocide?" and "how and what led up to their decisions to murder millions of people?"

that's what carl didn't understand, the shadow side is not inferior that's only his faulty perception. the shadow side of humanity is 1 of the most important parts of humans, it helps teach us what to not b like or what traps not to fall into/where we can "improve". it's a tool for growth, without it or ppl embodying it we r unable to grow. you can't know what to do "properly" if you don't know what the "improper" way is. carl's viewing the shadow as inferior is not different than Hitler seeing the jews as inferior imo, it's all perception.

This is a brilliant analysis. It makes me scared about the prospect of being influenced to do something like this, in fear of losing your job, being ostracized or losing your livelihood/life yourself. I guess you have to think if someone in a position of authority asks you to do something you feel is wrong or don't feel comfortable with, you should refuse. With this regime it was weird how it started out slowly with a drip drip drip of making people's lives better, and then they were instructed to do evil acts which they complied with.

The perpetual victimhood is a feature of the far right. That’s typical of an authoritarian. They require enemies to hate. For the GOP and Trump it’s the “Marxist, communist radical left” (that doesn’t exist.)
Trump never does anything wrong - he and his blind followers are just being victimized by the “radical left” even though Trump is committing crimes and preaching hate. Even when there’s video tape showing him committing crimes, he denied it and his followers believe it.
@@ailleananaithnid2566the radical left amd their gender nonsense is abhorrent
Yup it’s true. The biggest genocides were from the Communists that thought they were being victimized by landowners.
What was perverted about their sense of victimhood? Are you familiar with the bolshevik revolution? Do you know what happened in the holomodor? What about the treatment of German nationals in Danzig? The Weimar degeneracy and perversion of German culture and values? These are all examples of outside forces attempting to alter the course of the German people.

Thank you for such a high quality, well presented video. For years I have pondered the question of why a people could collectively turn on another group as they did in Nazi led Germany and have done so many times since across the world. Recently watching an interview of a Holocaust survivor she finished the interview by answering a question of a young person in the audience. They had asked her how was it possible to prevent such an evil thing from happening again. Her reply was to educate themselves, to think, question and analyse what they were told. You have provided a concise account of how and what to analyse, question and think about. A clear window into the manipulation that we may stumble into.
This documentary is good but Europa the last battle is probably the best on this topic.
If you want answers, look no further than America.
For years I have pondered the question of why a people, having been saved from the nazis by the sacrifice of US soldiers and graciously given refuge in the land of the free, would turn on their host society and ceaselessly push anti-white propaganda narratives, internet censorship, mass migration, foreign wars, anti-christian rhetoric, attack and defile all notions of conventional morality.

The Zionist movement started long before the rise of Nazi Germany and the Zionists were complicit it stirring up antisemitism to aid in achieving their goal of the colonization of Palestine.

Excellent documentary. Understanding why the Holocaust happened is such an important issue to understand. With the throw away line "never let it happen again" there is humanity's intent to not allow another holocaust. However it is looking at the cause and reasons why it happened and how it became a self perpetuating system under Nazi Germany that allows us today to truly understand history and have the intellect and understanding to give meaning to the words "never let it happen again" when they are said.

They did this to Germany. Do your own research, those monsters got what they deserved and will again soon. Jews literally declared war on Germany it was self defence

Given the hate of the right and left amazed anyone even cares at this point 😢
