The Great Irish Famine was such a dark period in history, and this video does a fantastic job of portraying the immense hardships faced by millions. It’s both heartbreaking and thought-provoking. Thank you for bringing this story to life.
Irish people have always shown incredible resilience, unity, and strength in the face of hardship. With such enduring spirit, they can overcome any challenge that comes their way. Thank you for your comment.
Thanks for your comment! You’re right that Ireland is surrounded by water, but during the famine, most people were too poor to afford boats or fishing gear. Plus, a lot of the fish caught was exported to other countries, so even that wasn’t an option for many. It’s such a heartbreaking part of the story.
Just one thing: there is WATER all around Ireland (read: fish and the rest of the edible marine fauna)...... and they were starving (...) Hard to fathom...
Thank you for your comment. During the famine, many Irish people lacked boats, fishing gear, or the strength to fish after months of starvation. Moreover, British policies often restricted access to coastal resources, and much of the fish caught was exported rather than consumed locally.
You wouldn't happen to be from Israel would you??... did your people deserve the Holocaust...do the Palestinian children deserve what is happening to them... IRELAND WILL NEVER BE SILENCED
My mother's grandfather came over from County Mayo in 1850. He ended up in Chicago and had my grandfather and three great aunts once in America.
Wow, what an incredible family history! Thanks for sharing!

It was GENOCIDE
Thank you for sharing your perspective.
@globetrekker1670 not a perspective..a FACT
It was an engineered genocide.
May God Almighty protect Ireland from any evil harm. Aameen

Beautifully done video - really does bring this tragic story to life.
Appreciate the kind words!
They're surrounded by water. Nobody thought about fishing 🎣

You need salt to harvest and keep the fish to eat later. They couldn't even afford to buy salt.

Wondering if others said the same to your people about you know what if you would agree too then. It was a genocide just like yous are doing now.
