I am german, 43 years old and I want to thank you from the Bottom of my Heart. Its important to do such Videos and that People will remember the injustice and inhumanity that happend and that is the responsibility of all of us that this will never happen again.
Thanks a lot for your feedback. I agree. It’s our responsibility to remember our past so that we can learn from it and take better choices in the future 🙏🏻
I agree. A personal visit is always the best to really understand what it’s like to be there. But most people simply aren’t able to travel that far. And that’s why I am very happy that I can show them these places and educate them on our past via my channel ☺️
Ihr müsst Euch mal einigen, die eine Dokumentation sagt 6000000 Menschen getötet worden, ihr sagt1000000,was ist nun richtig? Ihr macht euch selber unglaubwürdig
Auschwitz was only one of the extermination centres where inmates were gassed. There were other death camps in Poland - Treblinka, Sobibor, Chelmno, Maidanek, Belzec. And over one and a half million Jews were shot in the Nazi-occupied areas of the Soviet Union by the mobile killing squads of the SS Einsatzgruppen. Look up those units on line. It is too horrific to believe.
In 2018, my wife and I visited the Holocaust museum in the USA. It is terrible to imagine what all those people had to endure. My fore fathers were from Germany and the Nederlands. I think some of them were even Jewish? Keep up the good work. God bless. From South Africa
I went to Auschwitz many years ago. Bless you for posting this, we should never forget what mankind is capable of doing to one another. May those souls that died there be soothed.
Thanks for your words. I hope this video helps to keep remembering our past and to remember all the victims and innocent souls that have lost their lives during World War II.
Only Germans are inherently responsible for such atrocities for the destruction of humanity. It is the nation of the damned. Be respectful and NEVER visit that broken country. ! out of respect...
Thank you for this video Alina. It's very important to never forget these events, and everybody should learn about this so we can someday live in peace. ✌
Great video and great tour for those of us who haven't visited and may never ever get to. I'm from Texas, in America, and don't have the ability to travel that distance anytime soon, maybe ever, so someone being able to give some sort of tour with information is greatly appreciated. Thank you for the video.
Thank you so much for your feedback! I am glad that with this video I give people who cannot visit Krakow the chance to get to know its history anyway and to learn more about Auschwitz.
Thought you did a great job of capturing your visit to the Auschwitz/ Birkenau camp. For anyone who has never been to a camp, it is quite a sobering experience. I have been to Dachau, sachsenhausen and Struthop/Natzweiler and the feeling I had visiting each one was the same. I expect that when get to Auschwitz on an upcoming trip,it will be the same. Keep up the great content and would love to see more videos like this
@@darrinsmith1588 it definitely is a shocking experience but so important if you want to understand better this part of our history. And it’s such an important visit to learn from 🙏🏻
I went on holiday from Scotland 🏴 to krakow Poland 🇵🇱 in June of this year My visit to Auschwitz educated me so much more than I ever knew our tour guide explained all of the horrendous atrocities that took place here A visit to Auschwitz is a must when in Poland 🇵🇱 The one place I didn’t manage to tour was Oskar Schindlers factory Thanks for your video ❤️
Thank you for watching! That’s why I documented this visit: to remind people of our past so that we will hopefully learn from it and make better decisions in the future 🙏🏻
I need to go, u did a really good chat at the end for me, this world is about to do this again, some have learnt nothing and it’s upsetting … thank you xx
Thank you Alina for your sensitive and caring presentation of this horror and also your presentation I saw previously of Krakow. I just came back from a visit to Polná in the Czech Republic where my grandfather and his family lived for many generations, and was very moved that although there are no more Jews there, the Czech people carefully preserve their memory and history. Thank you for caring. Niemals vergessen 🙏
I visited last year - a terribly sad place which gave me goosebumps on every level but we have to pay our respects to those that suffered A fantastic video and I learnt a few new facts from you - well done!
@@aventuralina Propagating war propaganda is not being a good person. What happed to the shrunken heads and lampshades that were shown to German citizens by American psychological warfare officers at the end of the war? Were they real or fake. Can you even answer that honestly without fear of a very long prison sentence? A police state by definition is a state whose government exercises an extreme level of control over civil society and liberties.
Hi, I watched your first video and I wanted to say thank you and how much I appreciate it, and I want to thank you for doing this one too. Respectfully, Grace
Very well made Alina. Very informative and I imagine quite a difficult topic. Wondering what you felt. But your thoughts at the end are important. Humans do not seem capable of learning to live in Peace with others. Even the victims of horrendous past crimes can also become criminals.... 😢❤
Honestly, it’s pretty shocking to walk through the museum. I as a German know a lot about that history. But when I walked there I felt shocked and also somehow denial. Obviously I know that everything our guide has told us is true but it’s hard to accept that your own people are capable of such cruelties… Anyways, it’s important to keep the memories of all these innocent souls alive and to learn from our past 🙏🏻
Wonderful job ! There's a saying "That the destructive nature of Mankind has led to this..." It applies to many aspects of Mankind. The counterbalance are people like Saint Maximillian Kolbe. I went to a high school named after him !
This is the best documentary/tour, of Auschwitz, that I have ever seen, and it hurt my heart deeply, and moved me to tears. You have done a excellent job of presenting this horrific event, and I commend you for, what had to be, a very difficult video to create. You deserve much credit, and gratitude, for your courage, in helping to keep this ugly history alive, in this generation, and all generations to come. God love, and God bless you.
Thank you so much for your very kind words and feedback! I really appreciate it. It isn’t easy to create these kinds of videos but I am happy to have this platform to ensure that this part of our history will never be forgotten 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for your feedback. I don’t know if you’ve seen this video already, but it’s a similar topic and you might find it interesting as well: ua-cam.com/video/EqvsNBQY9e0/v-deo.html I will upload further videos of this kind tomorrow and next Sunday as well. I hope you’ll find them interesting.
Bless you: you are appreciated! Your tour parallels the research I’ve done. The numbers and details of the Holocaust continue to give me chills and disgust, regardless of how many times I hear the same story from different perspectives, current and past. Bless you for the continued education, validation, and those whom can’t succumb their mind to the atrocities of this genocide. You will be blessed and you are appreciated for giving those a voice that were lost in the process! 🙏🏻
As a Jew who lives in Germany today- nice to see how a German responds to it and I find it fascinating . I’ve been visiting Auchwitz and all other camps in Poland more than once (5-6 to be honest). Keep educating yourself and others. Would be nice to hear back from you and perhaps connect with you. Good job😊
Thank you, Alina, for this video. Yes, I have been to this place, Almost all of my family got murdered only in Auschwitz, only my father survived the IIWW.
It is so important to have documentaries like this one seen by as many people as possible not only so that this never happens again, but also to keep the memories of those who perished alive…. Visiting Auschwitz is something I really want to do to pay respect to those who lost their lives
Exactly. It is a part of our past that we should never forget. Especially nowadays with everything that’s going on in our world this is more important than ever 🙏🏻
Thank you Alina, this makes me feel 2 things: Yes I am so sad, I cant explain what's in my head and I am crying This is so heartbreaking. How can they hate "human" and killed them like that, I had no ideas Kids / Old / everyone there .... I am sad and I am crying when type this comment Second thing, I feel appriciated my life now I some complain my life: food isnt yummy, I am fat, I want to but new earrings but what I have now it's so perfect that I am still breathing Next month, I will visit Amsterdam, I will go to Ann Frank House But if I have a chance to go to Poland, I will visit this place - Auschwitz Birkenau We SHOULD know what was happened and respect them Everybody SHOULD learn and SHOULD NOT kill each others, please stop killing I hope humans will learn from the pass, I hope
So many lives lost here....Sad. Looking at the remains of the camp, it is beyond one's imagination of the horrors the captives went through. Those remains in the camp are a witness to those horrific times. Many families who arrived would have got seperated at the entrance, not sure whether they would have met again. Even though it appears gruesome, the oncoming generations should spend a moment here to feel the pain a certain section of humanity went through during those times.
My husband and I visited Auschwitz many years ago. I am an American engineer who helps level load production lines. I have never felt such horror as I did when I walked into the gas chamber with two adjacent crematoria. It was set up as a “level loaded killing line, created by people with my skill set. Thank you , Alina, for this video. I wish more people really understood what happened here. I don’t think the world has learned from the Holocaust. Just look at what is happening in the US and the rise of nationalism in Europe.
Thank you for watching and your feedback. Unfortunately I agree. It doesn’t seem like we’ve learnt from our past. But because of that I felt like it is so important to document this visit to help to remember our past and to learn from is 🙏🏻
Nuevamente un excelente video sobre la historia del campo de concentración de Auschwitz, como bien comentas hay que aprender del pasado para no volver a cometer estos crímenes tan despreciables!
My father was from Poland. Somehow in 1939, he got into the USSR and thus he was able to survive. He passed away before I was old enough to find more information of my predicessors. I was visiting Poland in 2023 trying to find any traces of his big family but returned back to America empty-handed. All I know is the Russian spelling of his first and last name, year of birth(1919) and the first and last name of my grandfather. Thank you for reminding people of their past - forgotten past is often repeats itself - you can see what is going on nowadays in majority of the campuses. They not just don't know anything from the past but even don''t want to. That is why you effort is so valuable.
Thank you for sharing your fathers story and for your feedback! This is exactly why I wanted to do this video: to educate people on our past that should never be forgotten and to remember the people who suffered and died under the nazi regime.
Thank you Alina - this was such an interesting video and a great way of understanding what you will see before you go. Sadly I don’t think humanity has learned, there is so much hatred that is being normalised. I hope we return to the “centre” again soon
Thanks a lot for your feedback! Unfortunately I agree with you that it currently doesn’t seem that we’ve learnt from our past… But the more important I felt it is to share this experience and to remind people of our past. We should never forget about it 🙏🏻
My wife and I visited in the spring of 2024. You can’t possibly see that and leave without a heavy heart. I agree with a comment from someone earlier, as hard as it is for the people, they feel a responsibility to never forget that history. A lesson we Americans should embrace. Thank you for sharing this, for anyone that hasn’t gone there personally, it is a good representation.
Thanks a lot for your feedback! A visit to Auschwitz is definitely something you’ll carry around for a while after visiting. It’s shocking and yet so important to understand what human being are capable of doing. We must learn from our past to never repeat it 🙏🏻
My daughter and I visited last year (2023) and to say we were moved by the sights and the atmosphere of the place is an understatement! I can not believe there are people who deny that the Holocaust took place! They are sick at best!!
I visited there in July 2024 and yes, it is a moving place. It was very hot that day, which made it stifling and the fans did a poor job. But yes, it is a place that saddens you and you find it difficult to fathom the cruelty and much more.
@@aventuralina Unfortunately, I remember too much, Sometimes, it can be a problem, but yes, overall , every living person should understand that we are just renters on this planet, not owners. Thank you for responding to my note, pozdrawiam
I totally agree with you that this my never be forgotten but shamefully it's all ready been forgotten and the world didn't learn anything from this disgusting and dark episode in history
1:44 *The bedding of the bunk beds isn’t particularly in alignment with the truth of how these beds were presented to those who had the great misfortune to find themselves there as a “prisoner.”* I’d go so far as *to claim that there wasn’t any bedding’s in any concentration camps* throughout the entire “Na3i” Germany. *A prisoner who was able to get hold of a blanket were considered lucky.* Respectfully, Grace
My family is military from America, when my grandfather was deployed over to Germany in the 1980's my Mom her sister her brother and her parents all brought them to the concentration camp and my Mom decribed to me that the entrance way was human bones and when you walked inside she said that you could still smell it everywhere you went and she described to me the ovens that the people were put in that you could see some human bones in there still, she says that it was the most gruesome place that she has ever been too. She showed me the videos of it and she showed me pictures , she left later right as soon as the Berlin Wall came down. She said that the smell there and everything that they do not tell you in schools or to the public in general is worse than what was being told. Thank you Alina for this video! People need to know that we are in the future now and we need to not repeat history! Hope you make some more content like this in the future.
@Brielle-i4y Yes, he talked about what it was like allll the time and my Mom talked about it and they said it was worse than what is being told on the news and in history books and in schools
I was there only last week Alina, such a harrowing place but a place that I believe everyone should go to and observe the evidence of what humans are capable of inflicting upon other humans….a truly terrible reminder of what is actually recent history. Unfortunately mankind hasn’t learned from this awful period of history as genocide is currently still happening in other parts of the world. Well done Alina on an excellent video.
Thank you for your feedback! I agree that this is a very educational place and we should all visit it to face our crucial past and to remember it and hopefully finally learn from it 🙏🏻
Thank you for this video. I visited in 2022. It’s a case of one look being worth a thousand words. The Polish guide was excellent as was the introductory film. Absolutely chilling in intent and scale. Worth mentioning that by the time the Hungarian Jews arrived in 1944 there was no segregation, just straight into the gas chambers. A perpetual stain on humanity. Man’s inhumanity to man.
Thanks a lot for the comment. It’s definitely worth mentioning this, as horrible as it is. But yes, the brutality of the Nazis got worse and worse over time…
I think it's great that you hv done these videos about the Holocaust. Your so young it's great to see these past event's will not be forgotten. Everyone said after the war never again but here it seems Everyone is turning on Israel just for defending herself. Shocking. I'm English and I don't think any of this is being taught in schools today and it should. I'm not Jewish but I say thank you for keeping everyone reminded. God Bless ❤
Thank you for your comment and feedback. I agree that this is a very important topic and one that we can only learn from. That’s why I think it’s so important to keep the memory alive and to keep telling this part of our history.
You’re an inspiration, a talented and wonderful human being. Thank you first of all thank you so much for a brilliant presentation and the knowledge you have passed on to us. Secondly your kind and caring heart and your sadness for how unfortunately how some of the people of today’s world still cannot seem to live in peace with the rest of the world. ❤ I share your beliefs 100%. If only the rest of the people of this world shared your heart.
Thank you so much for your feedback. Yeah, unfortunately it seems like we haven’t learnt much from our past. But the more important it is to keep remembering the past, to keep telling stories of the victims and hopefully change some people’s minds by doing so.
Hello from Germany. What an outstanding video. Thank you for that. This story must be continued to be told so as not to be forgotten. You made a big contribution to this with this great video. We can't thank you enough for this. I'm not entirely sure, but I believe that at least one of the gas chambers was blown up by prisoners during an uprising. Unfortunately the uprising was bloodily suppressed but I think at least two prisoners managed to escape. Before the revolt, the prisoners debated whether they should blow up gas chambers or the railway line. Thank you for your outstanding work again.
Thank you for your feedback! I wanted to create this video to remember our past and to ensure that more people who may not be able to get to places like Auschwitz themselves, can learn from our mistakes in the past. Especially nowadays it seems more and more important to remember 🙏🏻
Whilst Auschwitz-Birkenau was the deadliest in terms of the total number of murders, many often overlook Treblinka in terms of the murder rate. Up to 900,000 people were killed there over a period of only 15 months. They were murdering up to 25,000 people per day. When one also considers how horrible and prolonged a death it was to be killed by carbon monoxide poisoning (not that potassium cyanide wasn't awful enough), I think it strangely tends to avoid the same notoriety, probably due to the sheer scale of Auschwitz-Birkenau, and the presence of Josef Mengele. It's important never to forget that ALL of those operating the camps - including the forced labour camps - were partially responsible for the mass murder of millions, no matter what their role was.
It's a story that saddened more than one😥. It's cruel that they have built a concentration camp of that magnitude to mistreat the prisoners in the most cruel way possible just for example of being Jews where they were innocent people. It's an interesting story that should never be forgotten so that events like these are never repeated and we can be better human beings and be accepted as one is according to their culture and religion. Excellent video Alina, thank you for teaching us and giving us a lot of information about this place 👍
Thanks a lot for your feedback!! Yes, it’s a cruel story and extremely shocking to hear what human beings are capable of doing… I just hope that someday we’ll really learn from our past 🙏🏻
It’s absolutely terrible and keeps being shocking as you’ll always learn something new which makes this part of our history even darker then it already was.
Alinia, great job on the spokemanship and videos on those consentration camps, my heart and mind hurts for all those people a generation before me. Vietnam has never fully left my nightmares, but nothing compared to,ww2 and those camps!!!
Thank you Alina. The work you are doing is very important. There are very few survivors left. Soon there will be no survivors left to attest to these atrocities. I fear the sanitization of history as time passes. It is too easy to look at history & think that no matter how depraved, how cruel, how terrifying events of a distant time were, that was then & this is now & we react without the drama of emotions. After a while we are in a relationship with "historical" facts. There is mostly just an intellectual interest. Anti semitism is on the rise. Some in the US want to ban Muslims from entering the country. Children as well as adults are asserting their power with the use of guns. Please keep showing the truth. Please keep having an impact.
Thanks a lot for your feedback. I think it’s very important to keep our past alive. There is a growing right movement in Europe as well and we cannot allow to forget our mistakes from the past. I have some ideas in mind for future videos to keep such memories alive. I’ll hopefully be able to do many more videos such as this one.
La verdad plasmaste mucho de los sucedido alli. Y la cita al comienzo es algo que siempre resuena para todos como humanidad... Habia escuchado y leido sobre mengele... Sobre klaudbert la verdad no.. si acaso alguna vez... El tema de resaltar también a los alemanes y que no fueron solo los judios... Sino tambien rusos, gitanos y otras etnias y opositores y disidentes...es importante... Y lo mas importante entender asimilar lo sucedido aprender de ello y asi evitar que se repita... Con respecto a lo que indicas de si aprenderemos a vivir todos en paz.. quiero ser positivo y pensar que si... Pero es un camino de paso a paso... Y si queremos evolucionar como humanidad es totalmente necesario... Un abrazo Alina tremendo vídeo
Gracias Rafael. Hay muchas razones hoy en día en varios partes del mundo por los que estoy dudando que los humanos puedan convivir en paz 😓 Pero de todos modos es importante seguir contando estas historias. Quizás sirve para cambiar la mentalidad de alguien y si no, por lo menos sirve de recordar todas las almas inocentes que murieron allí de varios países.
It’s really hard to believe what human beings are capable of doing… But the more important it is to educate on this to hopefully do better in the future 🙏🏻
I went there a month ago. Such a sobering overwhelming experience. They say the birds don't sing there and they were absolutely right. I didn't go to some of the places you did but what I saw was enough. I believe a visit to Auschwitz should be compulsory as part of your education in school.
@aventuralina absolutely! I was overwhelmed how sad it was. It made it real being there and not on TV. I just wish our tour had been more exrltensive,I wanted to see everything so I had full knowledge but the guides were excellent all the same. Lovely ladies called Camilla and Barbara. I felt guilty at the end when she asked if there were any questions and no one answered because I had so many but I was processing what I'd seen. I'd like to go again someday.
I visited there a few years ago. I think everyone should go to learn what happened there. Once you have been, you never forget. RIP to all that suffered & perished there
Thank you for making this video. Germany is not alone in having a past stained with atrocities, but it is one of the few countries that really is open and honest about what happened. Burying it makes it less painful, but only increases the chances of it happening again.
I visited this place on a tour in 1988, and unlike here it was a beautiful day ,but as soon as i entered this place i had a very bad tasty feeling and i was even more impressed by what we have seen.
I felt like the weather was mirroring the vibe of this dark and terrible place. It’s a very educational visit though and definitely worth it to get to know it personally.
A very meaningful presentation. Thanks. I would feel awfully uncomfortable just walking within that once place of hell. I truly pity those who were forced to be exterminated there. Absolutely no one should be allowed to take a single photograph there. No doubt the place is profoundly haunted.
I visited both camps a few years ago after many years reading about them. It was still an emotional 7 hour visit. You spoke about how surprised you were that German prisoners were there. Well because Hitler put a death sentence on British Special forces many SAS and Commandos ended up in Auschwitz and didn’t return to the UK!
An extremely sobering video, thank you. Sadly your conclusion is correct, far too many of us have not leaned the lessons of the past and we continue to see and hear of mans inhumanity to man on a daily basis. It may not be on the same scale and in such a small location like these concentration camps, but it's still happening throughout the world. However, if your video helps to make one individual a better person, then you have achieved something great.
Thank you so much for your words. It seems impossible to change our world for the better and to truly learn from our past. But as you said: if my videos change the way only one person thinks, this is already an achievement. We need to remember where hate has led us and if more people would see that, I believe they would rethink the way they treat some individuals.
Less than 2 minutes in and I just had to hit the "M" key and turn the captions on! Why Oh Why do folks who post videos always think that obscuring the natural sounds (or silence!) of a location "improves" their efforts???!! 😱 These 2 locations (they are quite a long walking distance apart) are extremely important and moving memorials to the depths of human depravity. The emotional impact of a visit does NOT need "enhancing" - of that I can assure you! 🙄
Excellent video! Thank you! One thing that has been very noticable about many sources of information regarding the industrial slaugher by the Nazis, is that there is often quoted the figure of 6 million murders which relates to the Jewish people killed, but rarely any mention of the (almost as many) people from other groups that were also slaughtered in the same horiffic conditions such as Roma, political prisoners, homosexuals and people with disabilities, and addictions! Any ideas why this is? It's consistently something that is ignored by so many videos I've seen, and rarely gets mentioned during conversations related to the subject on Social Media!
I think it is just as important to mention all the other nationalities that have suffered under the Nazi regime but I do agree with you, that most people only focus on Jews. In Auschwitz I guess it does make sense, because by far most of the people that died there were Jews. Although at this point it is worth to mention that they were Jews coming from all over Europe. I am dedicating a video made in a camp in Austria to the Spanish that have suffered and died under the Nazi regime. There I hope that it’ll be more obvious that this war wasn’t only against Jews but everyone that didn’t share the same ideology… That video will be up in November and I hope you’ll like that one as well.
@@aventuralina Thank You for the reply. My comment WASN'T in any way a criticism of your very interesting and informative video, just a general comment / question that related to other sources!
Thank you for your clip. One of my last wishes on this earth was to visit Auschwitz Birkenau Nazi Concentration Camp to pay my respects to all that were tortured and died in this camp, but because I have agoraphobia I would find this impossible, So may I thank you for your visit there are I can watch this on UA-cam.
It’s a pleasure to show these kind of places to people who are interested in this part of history and who may not have the chance to visit it and learn about it personally. Thank you for watching and for your feedback!
On about March 15, 2022, I crossed from Poland into Ukraine at Medyka. We were headed to evacuate people from the front line areas. I remember momentarily thinking I am right between Auschwitz and the front lines, right between the genocide of my ancestors and someone's genocide of the now. It's hard to describe the feelings. Very present. Rapidly reflective. Resolved. Angry. Apprehensive. Afraid. Very sad. Furious. Infinitely focused. Thank you.
This provides a whole new perspective of these camps. Sorry if this is an insensitive question but, do you get harassed or blamed since you are German?
It has happened but rarely. People tend to easily call us Nazis whenever we say something against a foreigner. I used to work in an emergency room and there I often got called Nazi by people with other skin colors who had to wait along time because there were others who had more serious injuries. But some people blamed that on me taking racist choices not rational choices. And once a Jew told me that he doesn’t talk to Germans because he cannot forgive us for what we’ve done. It’s something I have to accept although I don’t like to generalise people or to blame a whole new generation for something in the past. But it really doesn’t happen often that people blame or insult me for being German. It’s really just an exemption.
In Skokie Illinois we have a Holocaust museum. One of the things that they had there was a train car where people were brought on .As I stood in it I felt like I was surrounded by the passengers who once were on it. The feeling was of sorrow , overwhelmed, scared, horror, it was undescribable it was as though they were showing me how they felt. What's even worse is that stuff like this is still going on today we may not hear about it as much but it does go on. We as animals the human race is the cruelest of all animals.
Maximilian Kobe is a known saint in Catholicism, he was a great representation of what Christ said: “The greatest love is to lay one’s life down for his friends.”
I am german, 43 years old and I want to thank you from the Bottom of my Heart.
Its important to do such Videos and that People will remember the injustice and inhumanity that happend and that is the responsibility of all of us that this will never happen again.
Thanks a lot for your feedback. I agree. It’s our responsibility to remember our past so that we can learn from it and take better choices in the future 🙏🏻
My wife and I visited Auschwitz in 2015, from America. The tours were indescribable and you’ll never really understand it until you go.
I agree. A personal visit is always the best to really understand what it’s like to be there. But most people simply aren’t able to travel that far. And that’s why I am very happy that I can show them these places and educate them on our past via my channel ☺️
Ihr müsst Euch mal einigen, die eine Dokumentation sagt 6000000 Menschen getötet worden, ihr sagt1000000,was ist nun richtig? Ihr macht euch selber unglaubwürdig
Auschwitz was only one of the extermination centres where inmates were gassed. There were other death camps in Poland - Treblinka, Sobibor, Chelmno, Maidanek, Belzec. And over one and a half million Jews were shot in the Nazi-occupied areas of the Soviet Union by the mobile killing squads of the SS Einsatzgruppen. Look up those units on line. It is too horrific to believe.
In 2018, my wife and I visited the Holocaust museum in the USA. It is terrible to imagine what all those people had to endure. My fore fathers were from Germany and the Nederlands. I think some of them were even Jewish? Keep up the good work. God bless. From South Africa
I read this, I listened and I am crying now. Why this is so cruel, why they can do with human like this, I am so sad
Thank you , this should be shown and taught in schools through out the world .
I agree 💯
Yeah but only in 9th grade with more mature kids.
@ yes, of course. It’s not really a topic for children neither will they really understand it.
A overwhelming sad and disturbing experince, A very well done video, Alina!!
@@nikhilbhadkamkar6440 thank you!
I went to Auschwitz many years ago. Bless you for posting this, we should never forget what mankind is capable of doing to one another. May those souls that died there be soothed.
Thanks for your words. I hope this video helps to keep remembering our past and to remember all the victims and innocent souls that have lost their lives during World War II.
Only Germans are inherently responsible for such atrocities for the destruction of humanity. It is the nation of the damned. Be respectful and NEVER visit that broken country. ! out of respect...
Thank you for this video Alina. It's very important to never forget these events, and everybody should learn about this so we can someday live in peace. ✌
@@ersrvd yes, I agree. Everybody should learn from this part of our history 🙏🏻
Great video and great tour for those of us who haven't visited and may never ever get to. I'm from Texas, in America, and don't have the ability to travel that distance anytime soon, maybe ever, so someone being able to give some sort of tour with information is greatly appreciated. Thank you for the video.
Thank you so much for your feedback! I am glad that with this video I give people who cannot visit Krakow the chance to get to know its history anyway and to learn more about Auschwitz.
Thought you did a great job of capturing your visit to the Auschwitz/ Birkenau camp. For anyone who has never been to a camp, it is quite a sobering experience. I have been to Dachau, sachsenhausen and Struthop/Natzweiler and the feeling I had visiting each one was the same. I expect that when get to Auschwitz on an upcoming trip,it will be the same. Keep up the great content and would love to see more videos like this
@@darrinsmith1588 it definitely is a shocking experience but so important if you want to understand better this part of our history. And it’s such an important visit to learn from 🙏🏻
Huge respect to you Alina for having the courage to make this presentation and tour 🙏 Thank you. Niemals vergessen 🙏
Thank you for your words and for watching!
I went on holiday from Scotland 🏴 to krakow Poland 🇵🇱 in June of this year
My visit to Auschwitz educated me so much more than I ever knew our tour guide explained all of the horrendous atrocities that took place here
A visit to Auschwitz is a must when in Poland 🇵🇱
The one place I didn’t manage to tour was Oskar Schindlers factory
Thanks for your video ❤️
Thank you for watching and for sharing a bit of your own experience. A visit to Auschwitz is definitely such an educational experience.
Thank you, Alina! I’m glad to see a young person aware of what happened here. People need to know history so it’s never repeated again.
Thank you for watching! That’s why I documented this visit: to remind people of our past so that we will hopefully learn from it and make better decisions in the future 🙏🏻
I need to go, u did a really good chat at the end for me, this world is about to do this again, some have learnt nothing and it’s upsetting … thank you xx
Thank you Alina for your sensitive and caring presentation of this horror and also your presentation I saw previously of Krakow. I just came back from a visit to Polná in the Czech Republic where my grandfather and his family lived for many generations, and was very moved that although there are no more Jews there, the Czech people carefully preserve their memory and history. Thank you for caring. Niemals vergessen 🙏
Thank you for watching and for your feedback! I am glad to have this platform to make sure that this part of our history will never be forgotten 🙏🏻
I visited last year - a terribly sad place which gave me goosebumps on every level but we have to pay our respects to those that suffered
A fantastic video and I learnt a few new facts from you - well done!
Thanks a lot for the feedback! I’m glad that I was able to also teach you some new facts.
Damn, thank you for this tour. It created a big knot in my stomach I can’t imagine how horrible must’ve been. All the best
Thank you for the feedback.
Good work Alina, exposing the truth of that evil place.And your English is good.
Thank you!
@@aventuralina you're welcome
@@aventuralina Propagating war propaganda is not being a good person. What happed to the shrunken heads and lampshades that were shown to German citizens by American psychological warfare officers at the end of the war? Were they real or fake. Can you even answer that honestly without fear of a very long prison sentence?
A police state by definition is a state whose government exercises an extreme level of control over civil society and liberties.
And if you disagree with the "truth" its off to prison for ten years.
Thank you for sharing Alina😢
Thank you for watching!
Hi, I watched your first video and I wanted to say thank you and how much I appreciate it, and I want to thank you for doing this one too.
Respectfully, Grace
Thank you so much for watching and for your feedback!
@@aventuralina 🙏
Great and very educated video Ms. Alina. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your feedback :)
I am unable to visit this concentration camp so I am most grateful to those who are featuring it. Thanks so much!
That’s the intention of the video. To ensure that even those who cannot visit it know better what it’s like to be there. Thanks for watching!
@@aventuralina Watching from Bacolod City, Philippines!
I have seen 6 camps alot of people were gased in the one's I seen
Very well made Alina. Very informative and I imagine quite a difficult topic.
Wondering what you felt. But your thoughts at the end are important.
Humans do not seem capable of learning to live in Peace with others. Even the victims of horrendous past crimes can also become criminals....
😢❤
Honestly, it’s pretty shocking to walk through the museum. I as a German know a lot about that history. But when I walked there I felt shocked and also somehow denial. Obviously I know that everything our guide has told us is true but it’s hard to accept that your own people are capable of such cruelties… Anyways, it’s important to keep the memories of all these innocent souls alive and to learn from our past 🙏🏻
Wonderful job ! There's a saying "That the destructive nature of Mankind has led to this..." It applies to many aspects of Mankind. The counterbalance are people like Saint Maximillian Kolbe. I went to a high school named after him !
Another excellent documentary, presented in perfect English...well done🎉
Thank you so much for the feedback!
Thank you Ms. Alina for sharing this important show.
This is the best documentary/tour, of Auschwitz, that I have ever seen, and it hurt my heart deeply, and moved me to tears. You have done a excellent job of presenting this horrific event, and I commend you for, what had to be, a very difficult video to create. You deserve much credit, and gratitude, for your courage, in helping to keep this ugly history alive, in this generation, and all generations to come. God love, and God bless you.
Thank you so much for your very kind words and feedback! I really appreciate it. It isn’t easy to create these kinds of videos but I am happy to have this platform to ensure that this part of our history will never be forgotten 🙏🏻
You have a lovely caring genuine personality and it especially shows doing these tours.
Thank you so much for your words!
Another perfectly pitched video, many genuine thanks.
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate your feedback!
Absolutely fascinating and deeply moving video. So well-presented
Thank you so much for your feedback!
Verry good video, Excellenté produced and directed. und most informative
Thank you for the feedback!
Thank you very much for this video. My eyes teared up thinking of what the prisoners went through. Looking forward to watching more from you.
Thank you so much for your feedback. I don’t know if you’ve seen this video already, but it’s a similar topic and you might find it interesting as well: ua-cam.com/video/EqvsNBQY9e0/v-deo.html
I will upload further videos of this kind tomorrow and next Sunday as well. I hope you’ll find them interesting.
Bless you: you are appreciated! Your tour parallels the research I’ve done. The numbers and details of the Holocaust continue to give me chills and disgust, regardless of how many times I hear the same story from different perspectives, current and past. Bless you for the continued education, validation, and those whom can’t succumb their mind to the atrocities of this genocide. You will be blessed and you are appreciated for giving those a voice that were lost in the process! 🙏🏻
Alina, Thank you. I really enjoyed this video tour. I learned some new things about Auschwitz, that I didn't know about before this video.
Thank you for your feedback! I’m glad I could teach you a few things :)
As a Jew who lives in Germany today- nice to see how a German responds to it and I find it fascinating . I’ve been visiting Auchwitz and all other camps in Poland more than once (5-6 to be honest). Keep educating yourself and others. Would be nice to hear back from you and perhaps connect with you. Good job😊
Thank you, Alina, for this video. Yes, I have been to this place, Almost all of my family got murdered only in Auschwitz, only my father survived the IIWW.
I‘m sorry about your loss. Your family won’t be forgotten 🙏🏻 May they rest in peace.
@@aventuralina Thank you very much.
It is so important to have documentaries like this one seen by as many people as possible not only so that this never happens again, but also to keep the memories of those who perished alive…. Visiting Auschwitz is something I really want to do to pay respect to those who lost their lives
Exactly. It is a part of our past that we should never forget. Especially nowadays with everything that’s going on in our world this is more important than ever 🙏🏻
The presenting is first class. Very interesting videos and you are very easy to understand
Thanks a lot for your feedback ☺️
Thank you Alina, this makes me feel 2 things:
Yes I am so sad, I cant explain what's in my head and I am crying
This is so heartbreaking. How can they hate "human" and killed them like that, I had no ideas
Kids / Old / everyone there .... I am sad and I am crying when type this comment
Second thing, I feel appriciated my life now
I some complain my life: food isnt yummy, I am fat, I want to but new earrings
but what I have now it's so perfect that I am still breathing
Next month, I will visit Amsterdam, I will go to Ann Frank House
But if I have a chance to go to Poland, I will visit this place - Auschwitz Birkenau
We SHOULD know what was happened and respect them
Everybody SHOULD learn
and SHOULD NOT kill each others, please stop killing
I hope humans will learn from the pass, I hope
very good job on this video. such an important topic to always remember.
Thanks a lot for the feedback. It’s definitely a part of our history that should never be forgotten 🙏🏻
Thank you for your thoughtful video. I found it informative and helpful.
Thank you for watching and for your feedback.
So many lives lost here....Sad. Looking at the remains of the camp, it is beyond one's imagination of the horrors the captives went through. Those remains in the camp are a witness to those horrific times. Many families who arrived would have got seperated at the entrance, not sure whether they would have met again. Even though it appears gruesome, the oncoming generations should spend a moment here to feel the pain a certain section of humanity went through during those times.
This is so beautifully done. Thank you for sharing this story.
Thank you for watching!
My husband and I visited Auschwitz many years ago. I am an American engineer who helps level load production lines. I have never felt such horror as I did when I walked into the gas chamber with two adjacent crematoria. It was set up as a “level loaded killing line, created by people with my skill set.
Thank you , Alina, for this video. I wish more people really understood what happened here. I don’t think the world has learned from the Holocaust. Just look at what is happening in the US and the rise of nationalism in Europe.
Thank you for watching and your feedback. Unfortunately I agree. It doesn’t seem like we’ve learnt from our past. But because of that I felt like it is so important to document this visit to help to remember our past and to learn from is 🙏🏻
Nuevamente un excelente video sobre la historia del campo de concentración de Auschwitz, como bien comentas hay que aprender del pasado para no volver a cometer estos crímenes tan despreciables!
Gracias por tu feedback! Si, tenemos de acordarnos de nuestro pasado y aprender de ello 🙏🏻
My father was from Poland. Somehow in 1939, he got into the USSR and thus he was able to survive. He passed away before I was old enough to find more information of my predicessors. I was visiting Poland in 2023 trying to find any traces of his big family but returned back to America empty-handed. All I know is the Russian spelling of his first and last name, year of birth(1919) and the first and last name of my grandfather. Thank you for reminding people of their past - forgotten past is often repeats itself - you can see what is going on nowadays in majority of the campuses. They not just don't know anything from the past but even don''t want to. That is why you effort is so valuable.
Thank you for sharing your fathers story and for your feedback! This is exactly why I wanted to do this video: to educate people on our past that should never be forgotten and to remember the people who suffered and died under the nazi regime.
I am polish and watching your videos. Good someone is making them in English for the world to learn
Thanks for this comment and for your feedback. I am happy that this way I can reach and educate more people on this important topic!
Thank you Alina - this was such an interesting video and a great way of understanding what you will see before you go. Sadly I don’t think humanity has learned, there is so much hatred that is being normalised. I hope we return to the “centre” again soon
Thanks a lot for your feedback! Unfortunately I agree with you that it currently doesn’t seem that we’ve learnt from our past… But the more important I felt it is to share this experience and to remind people of our past. We should never forget about it 🙏🏻
My wife and I visited in the spring of 2024. You can’t possibly see that and leave without a heavy heart. I agree with a comment from someone earlier, as hard as it is for the people, they feel a responsibility to never forget that history. A lesson we Americans should embrace. Thank you for sharing this, for anyone that hasn’t gone there personally, it is a good representation.
Thanks a lot for your feedback!
A visit to Auschwitz is definitely something you’ll carry around for a while after visiting. It’s shocking and yet so important to understand what human being are capable of doing. We must learn from our past to never repeat it 🙏🏻
Thank you for the video!
Thank you for watching!
Thankyou for sharing and well done 👍
Thank you for watching :)
Great presenter .😢 Explains what took place perfectly.. A++++ to u alina !!!from adelaide australia
Thank you so much for watching and for your feedback!
My daughter and I visited last year (2023) and to say we were moved by the sights and the atmosphere of the place is an understatement!
I can not believe there are people who deny that the Holocaust took place! They are sick at best!!
Thankyou Alina for this video
Thank you for watching!
I visited there in July 2024 and yes, it is a moving place. It was very hot that day, which made it stifling and the fans did a poor job. But yes, it is a place that saddens you and you find it difficult to fathom the cruelty and much more.
Hej🙂 I was there a couple of month ago. Its heartbreaking and you get goosebumps. Very interesting. Did you visit Plaszow aswell. Björn
Yes! I’ve shown Plaszow in the Krakow video. It’s also an interesting and saddening place.
Thank you, Alina. You are correct about people who do not get along well, because of our differences, even today. May God help us,,, pozdrawiam,,,,,
Unfortunately it seems like we didn’t learn as much by now as we should have… The more important it is to keep this part of our history alive 🙏🏻
@@aventuralina Unfortunately, I remember too much, Sometimes, it can be a problem, but yes, overall , every living person should understand that we are just renters on this planet, not owners. Thank you for responding to my note, pozdrawiam
@@aventuralina we learn nothing and will never learn
Love your videos, very informative ❤️❤️🙏🏿👏👏

Thank you Alina, a part of history that should never be forgotten. Keep up the good work beautiful Lady.
Thanks you for watching!
I totally agree with you that this my never be forgotten but shamefully it's all ready been forgotten and the world didn't learn anything from this disgusting and dark episode in history
Excellent video! Keep telling us stories from around the world 🌎

1:44 *The bedding of the bunk beds isn’t particularly in alignment with the truth of how these beds were presented to those who had the great misfortune to find themselves there as a “prisoner.”*
I’d go so far as *to claim that there wasn’t any bedding’s in any concentration camps* throughout the entire “Na3i” Germany. *A prisoner who was able to get hold of a blanket were considered lucky.*
Respectfully, Grace
My family is military from America, when my grandfather was deployed over to Germany in the 1980's my Mom her sister her brother and her parents all brought them to the concentration camp and my Mom decribed to me that the entrance way was human bones and when you walked inside she said that you could still smell it everywhere you went and she described to me the ovens that the people were put in that you could see some human bones in there still, she says that it was the most gruesome place that she has ever been too. She showed me the videos of it and she showed me pictures , she left later right as soon as the Berlin Wall came down. She said that the smell there and everything that they do not tell you in schools or to the public in general is worse than what was being told. Thank you Alina for this video! People need to know that we are in the future now and we need to not repeat history! Hope you make some more content like this in the future.
Wait your grandfather went to a consintraion camp?
@Brielle-i4y Yes, he talked about what it was like allll the time and my Mom talked about it and they said it was worse than what is being told on the news and in history books and in schools
@ oh I’m sos sorry
I was there only last week Alina, such a harrowing place but a place that I believe everyone should go to and observe the evidence of what humans are capable of inflicting upon other humans….a truly terrible reminder of what is actually recent history.
Unfortunately mankind hasn’t learned from this awful period of history as genocide is currently still happening in other parts of the world.
Well done Alina on an excellent video.
Thank you for your feedback!
I agree that this is a very educational place and we should all visit it to face our crucial past and to remember it and hopefully finally learn from it 🙏🏻
Thank you for this video. I visited in 2022. It’s a case of one look being worth a thousand words. The Polish guide was excellent as was the introductory film. Absolutely chilling in intent and scale. Worth mentioning that by the time the Hungarian Jews arrived in 1944 there was no segregation, just straight into the gas chambers. A perpetual stain on humanity. Man’s inhumanity to man.
Thanks a lot for the comment. It’s definitely worth mentioning this, as horrible as it is. But yes, the brutality of the Nazis got worse and worse over time…
I think it's great that you hv done these videos about the Holocaust. Your so young it's great to see these past event's will not be forgotten. Everyone said after the war never again but here it seems Everyone is turning on Israel just for defending herself. Shocking. I'm English and I don't think any of this is being taught in schools today and it should. I'm not Jewish but I say thank you for keeping everyone reminded. God Bless ❤
Thank you for your comment and feedback. I agree that this is a very important topic and one that we can only learn from. That’s why I think it’s so important to keep the memory alive and to keep telling this part of our history.
You’re an inspiration, a talented and wonderful human being. Thank you first of all thank you so much for a brilliant presentation and the knowledge you have passed on to us. Secondly your kind and caring heart and your sadness for how unfortunately how some of the people of today’s world still cannot seem to live in peace with the rest of the world. ❤ I share your beliefs 100%. If only the rest of the people of this world shared your heart.
Thank you so much for your feedback. Yeah, unfortunately it seems like we haven’t learnt much from our past. But the more important it is to keep remembering the past, to keep telling stories of the victims and hopefully change some people’s minds by doing so.
Hello from Germany. What an outstanding video. Thank you for that. This story must be continued to be told so as not to be forgotten. You made a big contribution to this with this great video. We can't thank you enough for this. I'm not entirely sure, but I believe that at least one of the gas chambers was blown up by prisoners during an uprising. Unfortunately the uprising was bloodily suppressed but I think at least two prisoners managed to escape. Before the revolt, the prisoners debated whether they should blow up gas chambers or the railway line. Thank you for your outstanding work again.
Thank you for your feedback!
I wanted to create this video to remember our past and to ensure that more people who may not be able to get to places like Auschwitz themselves, can learn from our mistakes in the past. Especially nowadays it seems more and more important to remember 🙏🏻
Whilst Auschwitz-Birkenau was the deadliest in terms of the total number of murders, many often overlook Treblinka in terms of the murder rate. Up to 900,000 people were killed there over a period of only 15 months. They were murdering up to 25,000 people per day. When one also considers how horrible and prolonged a death it was to be killed by carbon monoxide poisoning (not that potassium cyanide wasn't awful enough), I think it strangely tends to avoid the same notoriety, probably due to the sheer scale of Auschwitz-Birkenau, and the presence of Josef Mengele.
It's important never to forget that ALL of those operating the camps - including the forced labour camps - were partially responsible for the mass murder of millions, no matter what their role was.
Wounds that never heal!!!
It's a story that saddened more than one😥. It's cruel that they have built a concentration camp of that magnitude to mistreat the prisoners in the most cruel way possible just for example of being Jews where they were innocent people. It's an interesting story that should never be forgotten so that events like these are never repeated and we can be better human beings and be accepted as one is according to their culture and religion. Excellent video Alina, thank you for teaching us and giving us a lot of information about this place 👍
Thanks a lot for your feedback!! Yes, it’s a cruel story and extremely shocking to hear what human beings are capable of doing… I just hope that someday we’ll really learn from our past 🙏🏻
To quote the terminator “it’s in your nature to destroy yourselves”
We have learned nothing still destroying each other in one form or another🥲🥲🥲
Wonderful lesson on Auschwitz. I visited Auschwitz about 20 years ago. Very moving great job....😢
Thank you so much for your feedback!
Thank you for your videos 🙏🙏
Thank you for watching!
THANK YOU ALINA
Thank you for watching!
You are amazing. your video is excellent, ❤❤❤
Thank you!
I have seen so many films about these terrible times. It still shocks me and makes me feel sick. WHY
It’s absolutely terrible and keeps being shocking as you’ll always learn something new which makes this part of our history even darker then it already was.
Alinia, great job on the spokemanship and videos on those consentration camps, my heart and mind hurts for all those people a generation before me. Vietnam has never fully left my nightmares, but nothing compared to,ww2 and those camps!!!
Thank you for your words!
Thank you Alina. The work you are doing is very important. There are very few survivors left. Soon there will be no survivors left to attest to these atrocities. I fear the sanitization of history as time passes. It is too easy to look at history & think that no matter how depraved, how cruel, how terrifying events of a distant time were, that was then & this is now & we react without the drama of emotions. After a while we are in a relationship with "historical" facts. There is mostly just an intellectual interest. Anti semitism is on the rise. Some in the US want to ban Muslims from entering the country. Children as well as adults are asserting their power with the use of guns. Please keep showing the truth. Please keep having an impact.
Thanks a lot for your feedback. I think it’s very important to keep our past alive. There is a growing right movement in Europe as well and we cannot allow to forget our mistakes from the past.
I have some ideas in mind for future videos to keep such memories alive. I’ll hopefully be able to do many more videos such as this one.
Hast du richtig gut gemacht 👌🏻
Ich danke dir sehr für das Feedback ☺️
La verdad plasmaste mucho de los sucedido alli. Y la cita al comienzo es algo que siempre resuena para todos como humanidad... Habia escuchado y leido sobre mengele... Sobre klaudbert la verdad no.. si acaso alguna vez... El tema de resaltar también a los alemanes y que no fueron solo los judios... Sino tambien rusos, gitanos y otras etnias y opositores y disidentes...es importante... Y lo mas importante entender asimilar lo sucedido aprender de ello y asi evitar que se repita... Con respecto a lo que indicas de si aprenderemos a vivir todos en paz.. quiero ser positivo y pensar que si... Pero es un camino de paso a paso... Y si queremos evolucionar como humanidad es totalmente necesario... Un abrazo Alina tremendo vídeo
Gracias Rafael. Hay muchas razones hoy en día en varios partes del mundo por los que estoy dudando que los humanos puedan convivir en paz 😓
Pero de todos modos es importante seguir contando estas historias. Quizás sirve para cambiar la mentalidad de alguien y si no, por lo menos sirve de recordar todas las almas inocentes que murieron allí de varios países.
Chilling. I sat here shaking my head in disbelief even thought I know the story.
It’s really hard to believe what human beings are capable of doing… But the more important it is to educate on this to hopefully do better in the future 🙏🏻
Visited that place one time. Very sad what happened there. Shame on Germany.
I went there a month ago. Such a sobering overwhelming experience. They say the birds don't sing there and they were absolutely right. I didn't go to some of the places you did but what I saw was enough. I believe a visit to Auschwitz should be compulsory as part of your education in school.
@@bjorklive2379 yes, it should definitely be part of our education in school! It’s such an important place to remember and to learn from our past 🙏🏻
@aventuralina absolutely! I was overwhelmed how sad it was. It made it real being there and not on TV. I just wish our tour had been more exrltensive,I wanted to see everything so I had full knowledge but the guides were excellent all the same. Lovely ladies called Camilla and Barbara. I felt guilty at the end when she asked if there were any questions and no one answered because I had so many but I was processing what I'd seen. I'd like to go again someday.
I visited there a few years ago. I think everyone should go to learn what happened there. Once you have been, you never forget. RIP to all that suffered & perished there
I agree: once you’ve been, you’ll never forget 🙏🏻
Love your video's, thank you!!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for making this video. Germany is not alone in having a past stained with atrocities, but it is one of the few countries that really is open and honest about what happened. Burying it makes it less painful, but only increases the chances of it happening again.
It’s important to face our past and to remember it so that we can learn from it and improve our future 🙏🏻
Lest we forget... May God bless all Jews and Christians, for evermore
I visited this place on a tour in 1988, and unlike here it was a beautiful day ,but as soon as i entered this place i had a very bad tasty feeling and i was even more impressed by what we have seen.
I felt like the weather was mirroring the vibe of this dark and terrible place. It’s a very educational visit though and definitely worth it to get to know it personally.
A very meaningful presentation. Thanks. I would feel awfully uncomfortable just walking within that once place of hell. I truly pity those who were forced to be exterminated there. Absolutely no one should be allowed to take a single photograph there. No doubt the place is profoundly haunted.
I visited both camps a few years ago after many years reading about them. It was still an emotional 7 hour visit. You spoke about how surprised you were that German prisoners were there. Well because Hitler put a death sentence on British Special forces many SAS and Commandos ended up in Auschwitz and didn’t return to the UK!
Visiting these camps is a very emotional experience but also one that we can learn so much from.
It is sad, especially the children who were set on fire.
An extremely sobering video, thank you. Sadly your conclusion is correct, far too many of us have not leaned the lessons of the past and we continue to see and hear of mans inhumanity to man on a daily basis. It may not be on the same scale and in such a small location like these concentration camps, but it's still happening throughout the world. However, if your video helps to make one individual a better person, then you have achieved something great.
Thank you so much for your words.
It seems impossible to change our world for the better and to truly learn from our past. But as you said: if my videos change the way only one person thinks, this is already an achievement. We need to remember where hate has led us and if more people would see that, I believe they would rethink the way they treat some individuals.
Less than 2 minutes in and I just had to hit the "M" key and turn the captions on! Why Oh Why do folks who post videos always think that obscuring the natural sounds (or silence!) of a location "improves" their efforts???!! 😱
These 2 locations (they are quite a long walking distance apart) are extremely important and moving memorials to the depths of human depravity. The emotional impact of a visit does NOT need "enhancing" - of that I can assure you! 🙄
You are a very talented video maker
Thank you so much for your words :)
Excellent video! Thank you! One thing that has been very noticable about many sources of information regarding the industrial slaugher by the Nazis, is that there is often quoted the figure of 6 million murders which relates to the Jewish people killed, but rarely any mention of the (almost as many) people from other groups that were also slaughtered in the same horiffic conditions such as Roma, political prisoners, homosexuals and people with disabilities, and addictions! Any ideas why this is? It's consistently something that is ignored by so many videos I've seen, and rarely gets mentioned during conversations related to the subject on Social Media!
I think it is just as important to mention all the other nationalities that have suffered under the Nazi regime but I do agree with you, that most people only focus on Jews. In Auschwitz I guess it does make sense, because by far most of the people that died there were Jews. Although at this point it is worth to mention that they were Jews coming from all over Europe.
I am dedicating a video made in a camp in Austria to the Spanish that have suffered and died under the Nazi regime. There I hope that it’ll be more obvious that this war wasn’t only against Jews but everyone that didn’t share the same ideology… That video will be up in November and I hope you’ll like that one as well.
@@aventuralina Thank You for the reply. My comment WASN'T in any way a criticism of your very interesting and informative video, just a general comment / question that related to other sources!
@@24934637 yeah, I totally understood that 💯
Thank you for your clip. One of my last wishes on this earth was to visit Auschwitz Birkenau Nazi Concentration Camp to pay my respects to all that were tortured and died in this camp, but because I have agoraphobia I would find this impossible, So may I thank you for your visit there are I can watch this on UA-cam.
It’s a pleasure to show these kind of places to people who are interested in this part of history and who may not have the chance to visit it and learn about it personally. Thank you for watching and for your feedback!
On about March 15, 2022, I crossed from Poland into Ukraine at Medyka. We were headed to evacuate people from the front line areas. I remember momentarily thinking I am right between Auschwitz and the front lines, right between the genocide of my ancestors and someone's genocide of the now. It's hard to describe the feelings. Very present. Rapidly reflective. Resolved. Angry. Apprehensive. Afraid. Very sad. Furious. Infinitely focused. Thank you.
This provides a whole new perspective of these camps. Sorry if this is an insensitive question but, do you get harassed or blamed since you are German?
It has happened but rarely. People tend to easily call us Nazis whenever we say something against a foreigner. I used to work in an emergency room and there I often got called Nazi by people with other skin colors who had to wait along time because there were others who had more serious injuries. But some people blamed that on me taking racist choices not rational choices.
And once a Jew told me that he doesn’t talk to Germans because he cannot forgive us for what we’ve done. It’s something I have to accept although I don’t like to generalise people or to blame a whole new generation for something in the past.
But it really doesn’t happen often that people blame or insult me for being German. It’s really just an exemption.
In Skokie Illinois we have a Holocaust museum. One of the things that they had there was a train car where people were brought on .As I stood in it I felt like I was surrounded by the passengers who once were on it. The feeling was of sorrow , overwhelmed, scared, horror, it was undescribable it was as though they were showing me how they felt. What's even worse is that stuff like this is still going on today we may not hear about it as much but it does go on. We as animals the human race is the cruelest of all animals.
Sorry but music to voice ratio was too much couldn’t hear what was being said at times
Thanks for the feedback. I will keep that in mind for the future!
I like your tour of Auschwitz, Thanks for sharing your story.
Thank you for watching!
