Really glad that the moderator let him speak to the end. The audience only get to ask two questions, but the internet gets to watch this speech in entirety for infinite times in years to come.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! This lecture needs to be repeated daily several times in the USA before it is too late. It should have been done years ago.
Mindblowing lecture. It doesn't change the facts, but nevertheless reframes our interpretation. More importantly, it changes how we think about policies in the present and future.
I Was mesmerized by this video. Finally I can get my brain around HOW this terrible catastrophic dark history of the holocaust could even happen. I will have to watch it again and again so it sinks into my memory. May all those who took part in this dreadful murder & brutality account for it in the life here after.
Snyder ’ s monograph was welcomed, admired and praised by many reviewers. It wasalso criticised by scholars, in particular specialists of East Central European or Holo-caust history such as Omer Bartov, Dan Dinner, Dovid Katz, Alexander J. Groth,Thomas Kühne, the author of this article, Per Anders Rudling, Stefan Troebst,Jürgen Zarusky and Efraim Zuroff. 122 I
This is important viewing for those trying to wrap their heads around anti-antisemitism in early 20th Century Europe..which dates back to the 19th Century and probably even further back in time.
I keep listening and go back and listen. Absolutely interesting and enlightening information which has provided me with the origins of the Nazi philosophy. Fascinating. Thank you.
Excellent talk thank you for putting on UA-cam. The problem with humans is that these horrors are practiced all the time by people. Most are usually not on a state scale, but via criminal enterprises and very extreme groups, who can stay out of the laws radar. Professor Snyder is correct that the state must be set up and administered in a way that these type of belief systems do not become become part of the Governing states belief system. Very tough to do over a long period of time.
A Jewish man walks into a bar and sits down. He has a few drinks, then he sees a Chinese man and punches him in the face. "Owch!" the Chinese man says. "What was that for?" "That was for Pearl Harbor," the Jewish man says. "But I'm Chinese!" "Chinese, Japanese, what's the difference?" And the Jewish man sits back down. Then, the Chinese man walks up to the Jewish man and punches him in the face. "Ouch!" the Jewish man says. "What was that for?" "That was for the Titanic," the Chinese man says. "But that was an iceberg!" "Ice berg, Goldberg, what's the difference?"
I think there is a saying or proverb in the Jewish people that there are 30 just people in the world and if these 30 ever disappear the world will end? Something like.
“most of the memoirs and reports of Holocaust survivors are full of preposterous verbosity, graphomanic exaggeration, dramatic effects, overestimated self-inflation, dilettante philosophizing, would-be lyricism, unchecked rumors, bias, partisan attacks…” -Samuel Gringauz, “Jewish Social Studies” (New York), January 1950, Vol. 12, p. 65
This out of context quote focuses primarily on memory in relation to the law and how traumatic events place such a great strain on the mind of the victim that often times "memories" are compromised...In 1950, most of the West, outside of the soldiers that had liberated the camps, the Allied High Command and the Nuremberg prosecutors, had a really hard time believing that such barbarities could have even happened...it wasn't until the study of the Holocaust as a historical event during the 1970s and the further opening of the Soviet Union does the scale of the Holocaust begin to resonate in the West
What I find really interesting about Bloodlands is I came to much the same conclusions independently so was quite impressed after reading the book. You say discredited, I might agree controversial but discredited? Who is offering a better or more coherent explanation?
More likely to take a cue from the Turks as few states bothered to be concerned about the Armenians, but the Nazi's considered the 'slavs' too low to be worthy.

What a brilliant and actually, humble man. A lot to think about.
It's hard to overstate the importance of what Snyder is explaining here. And What a fantastically lucid and powerful communicator he is.
Another excellent lecture
Brilliant as always. 🌹

@Martin, I agree. I have already watched it a number of times. There is always something I did not absorb on the previous viewings.
Most of the Nazi leaders tried at Nuremberg repented and confessed faith in Christ, so a lot probably aren’t suffering at all.
He highlighted a lot of subtleties that I never knew existed. Excellent presentation.

Brilliant, this makes total sense. It has been approved again and again in the past 20 years.

History is easier if you get to over-simplify and redefine terms.
I am reading the Black Earth now and also , I have a copy of Bloodlands as well.
Thank you very much for this is a so important moment of dark history explained so clearly,thank you

What about freemasons... we had everything stolen too and very scared by what is going on now.
I think there is a saying or proverb in the Jewish people that there are 30 just people in the world and if these 30 ever disappear the world will end? Something like.
This was so poorly presented.
Important information, awkwardly, badly laid out for the audience .
Shame.
This guy is very hard to understand
And the corona murders now?

As that rather decent guy supposedly said, "The truth shall set you free."
A(nother) weak attempt to push the discredited "Bloodlands" thesis.
Discredited by who?
@@leegallagher7026 Read the reviews in the refereed journals, inter alia.
What I find really interesting about Bloodlands is I came to much the same conclusions independently so was quite impressed after reading the book. You say discredited, I might agree controversial but discredited? Who is offering a better or more coherent explanation?
@@leegallagher7026 Explanation of what? The argument of the book is that Nazi atrocities took their cue from the Soviets, which is gibberish.
More likely to take a cue from the Turks as few states bothered to be concerned about the Armenians, but the Nazi's considered the 'slavs' too low to be worthy.
