We must not forget that the Japanese murdered as many people in cold blood as the Germans, but it was never industrialized. Humanity's fascination with the industrialized murder in Germany enables the Japanese war crimes to be more readily forgotten. The Japanese seemed to be free of the burden of tortured consciences: they were much more comfortable with face-to-face slaughter than the Germans were. Even if one examines only Nanking and Manila, one is hard pressed to determine which fascism was worse: German or Japanese.
@danepatterson8107 There is nothing compared to Ukrainian atrocities comitted against Polish civilians, during Volhynian Massacre. Their methods of murder are unheard in this world.
I like going to Germany on holiday to visit some of their smaller beautiful towns not destroyed in the war , but at the same time I am painfully aware that the German people have this most awful stain of blood written in their history , unparallel in the terrible suffering of humankind .....
What I have found from travelling in Germany is that in every town, there is a monument to the Holocaust, usually on the site of a synagogue that was burned down in the 1930s. Germany teaches its children in school about the atrocities it committed which is more than you can say about the French collaborating with them, or the Americans and Canadians who would not admit Jewish refugees in the pre-war times. I am not equalising the atrocites here.
Keep in mind that Germany lost the war and was blamed for all the guilt, atrocities and propaganda of the war. Looking at the actual history of other countries, the US, England, France, Spain, Belgium and the soviet union have just as much blood stains, they just don't make movies about it.
@@Ashabarala Be that as it may, none of those countries had patented machinery designed to facilitate mass murder. The patent on the corpse-lifting mechanism as used at Auschwitz was issued in 1949. I read that somewhere.
And what about Gazacaust? This is lasting for over 50 years. Holocaust only lasted like 8 years. Jews are whining about holocaust and yet they do the same. Talking about hypocrisy..
@stephenmills8617 You are right, when it comes to number of human lost and devastation, they left behind. Still, Ukrainians, can not be “surpassed” by the methods of murdering (Polish)civilians in an entire history of humankind. Read Volhynian Massacre @ Wikipedia. These UPA,”fighters/ read slaughter, were beasts. Now Poland gives their ascendants refugee status without any help, from European Union.
The man talks too fast. It is hard to see the pictures in the video it is hard to read the translation. There is not time to read the translation before the person moves on to something else.
I know he’s attempting a scholarly review of history, but he should be careful with his words. He seems, sometimes, awfully close to minimizing how the Holocaust was directed primarily at Jews. A couple of times he, almost, seemed to be lumping it in with other crimes, like killing Soviet prisoners and Commissars. Maybe not too big of a deal, because all these acts are horrendously criminal, but the assault on the Jews seems to stand out as somehow worse, and different. Maybe I’m reading his words and meanings incorrectly. If so, I apologize.
This academic clearly shows regret and discomfort in his face and tone of voice when he describes the decision making process regarding the Final Solution. May the Germans never ever forget what they did, including the permissive civilians. It will always boggle the mind.
At 3:52 he claims that in National Socialist conviction, all Jews were communists. This is incorrect, the Germans made a clear distinction between the Jews who had been living there for centuries upon whom communism had been imposed and didn't identify with it and those who had immigrated recently to obviously join the Bolshevik revolution. These were the ones representing a real danger to the invading forces for their total disregard of military conventions, their ability to mix in with the regular crowd and their total dedication to exterminate as many Germans as possible, by any means, no chances and no mercy were to be expected from those people, so none was given. As to the peasants, the Germans tried to get them to join the fight against the communist forces but with very limited success, still these harmless people did not fall victim to German extermination policies, as long as they didn't represent a threat or provide help to the enemy in any form. This obviously doesn't mean that serious abuses were not committed by the German forces, there were but the official story always tends to bend history to the advantage of those who write it, historical truth becoming in such cases, very secondary.

Stalin had more people murdered..Mao even more. Not that these facts exempt Hitler but it should be mentioned..
Yes, but this isn"t about that.
Can you tell me where i can read this history ...i am curious about it and want to find it out
or Russia or Rwanda, or so many other third world dictatorship run countries happening through the years since and after WWII.
I stand with Israel. I stand with my Jewish family.
Why?

Go to Poland instead, just across the border, then you will see a difference. Do some research, before you decide.

@@Kinggg679the war was so tragic in so many ways. As all war is. Including the present ones.
@@nickscurvy8635 Volhynia Massacre. German Nazis, were little below of that level. Unspeakable methods of extermination, done, by Ukrainian UPA.
Everyone forgets what the Belgians did in the Congo.

I didn't think that one bit
@@rosschapman9160 - Good. I was hoping I was mistaken.
Being a historian his approach, when he talks about it, it is more scientific. But I'm sure that as a person he's also ashamed of what happend.

Thank you so much for the video!

What’s even more sickening is the thousands of Germans it took to make this possible.
I wonder why you didn't mention the Ha'avara agreement..
