Walking Through Auschwitz | WARNING: Actual footage of entire camp
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- Filming and photographing is allowed throughout the camp except for the "room of hair" which I did not film out of respect for the people who suffered a great deal at this place. There are multiple signs showing "no flash photography" because this is not only disruptive and rude towards the people paying their respect but it also alters the items coloring over time. You can go to the website below and see it says on their website what is and isn't allowed to be filmed:
auschwitz.org/e...
My regular vlogs are very happy and positive but this one is very different... I've always wanted to go visit auschwitz to see it for myself. I brought my camera with me so I could share this experience with people who wish to go see this place one day as well. Its a difficult thing to do but I believe it is necessary.

My channel is not a history channel. I am just a fitness vlogger who shares my day to day life as well as experiences. I was not expecting this video to get so many views, it was actually my lowest viewed video for awhile. I only documented it because it meant a lot to me personally. I still watch it from time to time for myself and I’m grateful I can do that. I did not monetize this video nor do I make money from it. Photography and videography is allowed throughout the camps (except for the room of hair) but flash photography is not allowed due to it being distracting.
I’ve received the most disturbing comments on this video..so much anger and hate….but I’ve also had a lot of you reach out with kindness, love, and share your experiences going there. To those of you who are kind, I appreciate you.🥺❤️
Since uploading this video I’ve also had quite a few teachers reach out and express their appreciation for the video…Since it’s a “vlog style” video, it has helped capture the attention of younger students who will actually listen/watch.🙏
I really appreciate this video. Thank you for sharing your very sombre experience. It is amazing how many young people don't have much of an idea of what happened during the holocaust. Some holocaust survivors are even drawing parallels from what happened then to what is happening in the world now.
This is a great video going to this place must have been very difficult and how the nazi always said the Jews were because there crime was that they existed it’s absolutely horrible to me this place is a cemetery and needs to be protected to make sure the world never forgets
Ahh….reason #173 of why what happened in Dresden was more than justified. Thx you Heidi
Thank you for putting this up. A lotta folks these days are too keen to ignore history, especially its darker aspects like the Nazi regime's war crimes just because it doesn't give you that feel-good dopamine as other content does. So it's fantastic that you'd make something like this even if it's not your usual type of vlog. Videos like this is just as important as the all the documentaries filmed and books written to make sure humanity doesn't repeat its mistakes.
Thank you for being very thoughtful and considerate and choosing your words in a meaningful manner, as well as the way that you filmed and presented this video. I don't understand how you could have hate comments on this. You have clearly shared your opinion and respectfully approached this in a way that was not demeaning in any way.
Thank you for your empathy & respect.
Ignore the idiots without brains or hearts comments.
+Sameer Faisal your people chop off baby heads band send your children to blow themselves up band ruin our country.go home!

Simply the way you respond proves their point! So much anger and hate.
My grandpa was in a labor camp during WWII, he got lucky and sent to a labor camp rather than a killing camp. My heart goes out to anyone who lost someone In these camps.

@TessTickles You're right, the war shouldn't have happened. If only we had a Catholic radio preacher and a famous aviator to tell the American people who were trying to foment a monstrous war in Europe.
Why don't they ever add subtitles to the German leader's speeches?
My grandfather dads father was captured by the germans but do not know where he was taken
@@sigurdvonliebenfels3304 Your name is German. So you are a German person? If so good, me as well and I reported your comment to the police. It's illegal to deny the Holocaust. You know very well that Germans had killing camps. You just saw one in this video. And the labor Camps aswell were actually killing camps, to kill was always the main Goal that's why it's called Holocaust.
Dang
I knew a Auschwitz survivor...and I remember me seeing her tattoo....and we had a Holocaust survivor come and speak to us in high school...it was absolutely heartbreaking...never forget....
I once had a Auschwitz survivor scream at me for believing in the Messiah. Can't blame her though.

True. As a religious Jew I can contest. I asked my co-worker if he's heard of the Holocaust and he said 'no'. It was scary to me. I've met a couple of Auschwitz survivors and they wouldn't be able to comprehend such a thing.

My great-grandparents and their youngest two children were murdered in Auschwitz. My grandmother was a concentration camp survivor, she was in a satellite camp of Groß-Rosen called Gabersdorf which was in Czechoslovakia. She of course had the tattoo on her arm. She never ever accepted what happened. How could she? Her PTSD was immense and intense. Just a year or so before she passed away, she went to Auschwitz for the first time in her life and lit a candle for our murdered family. I hope she is in a better place now- the world was such an evil place for her and she had such a horrific life for such a beautiful, wonderful woman. She's my absolute hero. On two occasions I have supposed to go to visit Auschwitz but both times dreadfuls things happened to stop me going, very bizarre- it's almost as though I'm never to visit, I personally believe it would f**k me up big time as I already suffer from intergenerational trauma from my grandmothers experiences.
As a muslim i feel sad and heart broken for jewish people who just killed by mf devil hitler for no reason
@@AliPlays381 A few months back, at a Sabbath meal, I sat next to a Jew from Germany who left in 1938 to Palestine (Israel) . She left when she was 7 1/2 but she remembers before the war. She next door neighbors who were rabid anti-semites and two boys that were full on Nazis. She said it was very scary and that a whole generation grew up where Jews were consider 'rats'. They often called us 'Shmutzdiker Yuden' - 'Dirty Jew'.
No they weren't
@@dovberjoseph4833 nothing wrong with that 😂😂😂
@@sigurdvonliebenfels3304 why would I lie about that? This is literally my family history. I grew up listening to my grandmothers horror stories. I can even send you my grans POW number she had tattooed on her arm and you can check the online records. Can also send you link to my great-grandparents photo online.
I would cry the whole time, walking through that camp. beautiful video, done with such respect.
i think the hardest part would have been seeing that baby doll!! i can’t imagine a child going through this , breaks my heart
I am a history teacher in Canada, and I show this video to my history classes every year. My students listen in silence as you describe the camp. Thank you so much for producing this video, and for the compassion and empathy you demonstrate on your journey.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I’ve been reached out by many teachers who say their students actually listen/watch this video and are able to learn about what happened.🙏
My grandmother was in a concentration camp. She lost her parent and siblings. My grandfather rescued her!!! She couldn’t ever talk about what she went through.

I read it. It is really touching. I suggest others read it as well.
This was hard and gut-wrenching to watch, but thank you for making this and presenting in a respectful manner. The people denying this ever happened are appalling to me, and I abhor their willful ignorance.
Lol
It's not "wilful ignorance"; I would categorize it as 'malicious ignorance' propagated with the sole intention of achieving the following: 1. get a reaction 2. Bring about hurt and pain 3. Bask in the thrall of their purile peers. The best response to such kind of people is to just slyly smile at them. And tell them to believe whatever they want to believe if it brings pangs of joy to their hearts and their kin because, well, free will and all that entitles them to think/believe what they want to. Whatever else you do, please do not get angry because that is what they want to see. And seeing you in that state is their raison d'etre, so to speak.
🤣🤣🤣

I wasn't really sure how I felt of someone vlogging such an infamous place in our hearts and history but you were respectful and kind. I do agree with your notion that you have to keep remenbering these abhorrent times in our history and most young people don't seemed to care now and days. You seemed to have a way of connecting with youth and give an updated perspective to understand the horror that humanity went through and so that we may never forget.
Dont be a vlogging nazi
It’s very painful to watch, you put it together in a very respectful manner. Thank you

@@maxsmith695
Remember the time as a guard, or?
@@revisit8480 Say what
I think all films about Auschitz should be shown in libraries only.
I watched the boy in the striped pajamas and I cried so hard because I saw how cruel people were treated but that movie didn't even portray half the stuff that actually happened
How do explain all of the dead bodies that were witnessed by the allied soldiers and generals (such as Eisenhower) who liberated the camps, along with the journalists -- such as Edward R. Murrow -- who photographed the piles of corpses?! Also, how do you explain all of the war crimes trials that took place after the war in which it was proven beyond any reasonable doubt that the crimes in question did in fact occur?! P.S. you are a fucking ignorant paranoid anti-Semitic prick!
dude my fucking great aunt is a holocaust survivor. she has the number tattoo on her arm and she has stories and so much more shes shared with our family. and shes no actor. and no ones going to lie about being tortured in a concentration camp. especially to their own family. so keep your ignorant opinions to yourself. im all for conspiracy theories but this isnt one of em.
+Brian Rittenberg Easily explained. They were work camps. Typicalling typhus was rampant in all of them, in Nordhausen the majority were murdered by allied strategic terror bombing. In Belsen, USAAF fighter planes used the railway wagons for strafing practice enraging the Americans so much, they lined up and mass murdered all the guards when the liberated the camp...or was that Dachau, or both? Just another unpunished American war crime to add to all their other 'get out of jail free' card double standard at Nuremberg hypocrisy. Then, undeniably starvation, ..Germans had no food either due the bombing and invasion, although I believe that unlike German women, KZ women were spared mass rape and murder? Work. Now there's a word understandably offensive to Jews. Apparently the thought of manual labour makes most Jews very sick, and some even die of fright. I can't confirm that with evidence, but that's what Rabbi Glickmann told me. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. I will always try to help.
+Eden Shizzle The concept of "survivor" from alleged "death camps" is the conflict of logic conundrum rational people unddrstandably question, especially when the are so many allleged survivors.
+The Blytonian Why do you believe that theory, but not the official one?
thank you for spreading awareness. Us Germans are ashamed for what happened, I can't express how much.
+NatschoNotorious My family is actually part German but our family was already in the US during the holocaust but my boyfriend (Josh) is part Jewish.
That's really interesting! It's horrible what the Germans did under the brainwash of the NS. It's important to not let it happen again in any form. thx for the video.
+Heidi Somers love from israel
Mona Baishya I do not think that it's her intention to project the role of a victim. I'm sure she's aware who the true victims are.
I'm a 47 year old Italian father raising 2 daughters on my own without a single tie to any Jewish heritage and this brought me to tears. Knowing the fear they must've felt. The uncertainty. The poor children my God. The sick mentality to have a sign WORK WILL SET YOU FREE upon entering. Just a gut punch. Thank you for sharing as this can and should never be overlooked. Mussolini, Stalin and Hitler eradicated 10s of millions of people which just staggers my mind. How? Why? Would this ever happen again? Again, your video was informative and macabre but done respectfully.
Jews don’t like to work.
It’s happening now in China they have the same camps for Muslims and in Syria and Palestine

I'm really sad that a few people in the comments wrote, that every german person is still a nazi or a racist and that germany is still a bad country.
I am jewish, I do not think Germans are Nazis. Most Germans are ashamed of the past and we know and accept this. And almost all Nazis are gone now, a long gone generation. The new German generation are a great and kind people.
John Tupponce How about instead of complaining and saying white people make you angry, you do something about it. I don't believe white people are evil, this is coming from someone who isnt white. The problem isn't what you think people are doing, it is that you complain instead of stopping what you don't like.

It's funny how everyone always talks about the atrocities committed by Hitler, yet never do you hear about the millions of Native Americans who were killed in the name of manifest destiny and Christianity, the very ideals which this nation was founded under
Arogon America has had great Christians in its boundries. It wasn't founded on "true biblical christianity. If it was slavery would of been abolished.The founding oligarchs revolutionaries would of never taken up violence against England. And finally we would not be fanatical capitalist. Native americans would of been never murdered. ect. ect. There never would of been a civil war.America has more false religions and cults in its history then any other country in the history of the world.
Arogon how bout stalin who killed WWWAAYYY more than hitler or the colonist
If you think about it Hitler did't even kill the people, he just had the name we now all associate with the terrible acts of death commited on people for no reason. In my opinion he was just used, and now everyone blames him, of course rightly so in some aspects, however defineatly not in all. He was just a figure for the public.
Arogon also i guess it's just the way the SS disrespected people and did all Kinds of cruel things to them.

So sad that we are living the same thing in Syria...

their intention is to kill and they will I've never heard of any 'Jew' hate until i heard europeans talk about it almost commonly now. Its literally mostly EU people because their parents were most likely attending school during the hitler reign and learning the propaganda that he taught and passing it down to their children.
Vividly I'm Jewish and sometimes even when I say to someone I am, there's occasionally a "ew" or "ha!" Sad how after all that's happened casual racism still exists
Vividly you sure only europeans do that, jeez?
Please don't make this video about Syrians.
My heart was beating so fast while watching this. Respect for all the people that suffered in these camps.
Mine too.
Many years ago I met an Auschwitz survivor. While speaking with her, I saw the numbers tattooed on her arm and I immediately apologized. She told me not to be sorry. She said the world must never forget what happened, we proceeded to have a long conversation about what happened to her and her family in Auschwitz.

If so you can’t be Jewish just because someone in your family is, it’s like saying you’re Christian because your mom is.
I always think “this is it, now they will stop” but as it is, sometimes people cross all their limits, Nazis proved they were inhumane and monsters. I cried watching this video and it makes me feel horrible of what actually happened there. Nothing can be worst then this. I am studying the Nazi Germany chapter for my history lesson and now each and everything that happened with innocent Europeans haunts me in my dreams. Knowing very well, millions of people were murdered here and for no reason makes me feel angry and unlimited hatred towards all those who participated in it without any regret and shame. I feel sad and upset when I think of all those who had to go through it. There was no Humanity in Hitler’s rule. It was just power and evilness. I still don’t understand the concept of Hitler’s hatred. Everyone have a strong reason of hating someone, cause hate is in itself a very strong word. But his hatred had no reason. It is still not clear to me how the hell he said “they are not worthy of living”, this in its own was horrible. It made feel sad. Hats off to you for video taping everything and showing this to us. Not everyone will have , including me the courage to step in there as everything I read would revolve in my mind like a flashback as if I am living in that time. Even then you explained everything that happened and told your experience. I salute everyone who had to resist the Holocaust. Once again Thankyou.
Aashu what? This doesn’t make sense at all. Hitler didn’t helped India or any other country in any way. He was a psycho who wanted all Jews killed for no valid reason.
My condolences to all of those who lost their lives and their friends and family in this terrible war. May you all Rest In Peace.
Wow. I never really saw how terrible the living was, I always understood this was a horrific event but seeing it makes it a reality check. ❤️

Thank You for spending your time to bring this to Social Media. For some one so young your thoughtful and mature. The more people like you bring this kind of history to the forefront for those who are to young to know, Or those who are just really not aware of this atrocity of history the less chance this history will have to repeat itself.
Visited the memorial in 2017. Specifically made this my first stop on my first trip to Europe. It was numbing… I don’t think I slept for two days. This video is as hard to watch as the day I was there. Thank you for posting this.

Syria, Palestine, Israel, Ukraine and many more countries getting bombed left and right killing innocent civilians including children. heartbreaking, What a cruel world we have💔😢
thank you for sharing all this, its so hard to listen to such stuff, to all the young historians, I recommend coming to Poland, Krakow for this experience, it features so much to learn . people forget the small parts in WWII that are dreadful to the people who lived during the period. thank you for presenting this in a respectful manner to other to spread awareness :)
Just got back from Poland and Germany. We also went to Auschwitz and Birkenau. Very impactful and I highly encourage people to do it! You learn a lot about it and how big one of the camps actually is.
It’s hard to face the truth of what else human beings have done to other human beings. the victims deserved your respect and I am proud of you.
Such a respectful vlog. I'm glad I found it so many years later. Great job and well done. Dziękuję.
Heidi, thank you for sharing this. I have read a few books about Holocaust survivors, their experience, their survival. What a horrific time in history. How can so many people deny that this ever happened. Genocide still happens. We just have to open our eyes to see how.
I went to the holocaust museum a couple of days ago and I’m absolutely traumatized on the horrific pictures I saw, it’s so sad and unfortunate how evil human beings can be, it’s even worse that many genocides are still happening today.. so unfortunate, may those who passed Rest In Peace❤
Now imagine you went to Russia and had to see pictures of 100 million civilians killed by people like Genrich Jagoda (who killed around 20 Million).
The prisoner barracks are so heartbreaking. I can only imagine how cold and uncomfortable they must have been. On top of being starved, abused, and in constant stress, not being able to rest is another level of hell.
Add to it what was worse : Bacteria, rats and parasites everywhere 😢
I'm so glad you posted this video, I love learning about history. It was hard to watch and I even teared up some but education on these kinds of things is important. Thank you Heidi!
This was hard to watch very heartbreaking parts of this video made me cry just looking at the peoples belonging was horrible to watch God rest all the people who died here thank you for sharing this it's never easy to visit a place where millions died but it's worth going to the place to see what it most of been like for the people that went there and died there
Thank you for sharing. Our schools need to be teaching this history.
This was truly a calamity... It awesome to see people still remembering this tragedy. Great video
Thank you for sharing! We can't forget our history! This was an awful time and can never be forgotten or repeated. Such a sad place but something to see and pay respects to those who died there.
This was hard to watch for me. My great great grandfather got his family, (my great grandma) out of Germany right before Hitler started rounding us up. He went back for their belongings and never returned. We know he must have died at a camp but don't know which one. And to see that clip of the luggage with Our name on it, Goldstein. Just brought me to tears. Thank you for Sharing
Makes me ashamed to be a human being knowing what these people went thru.
feelyou hard on this
People are the worst
I hope everyone knows how much courage this sweet girl has or had....i really don't know if i could have made it through at all... It is so traumatizing to even think about....much less actually be there...
Seeing the little shoes and baby doll was so sad. 💔
I remember hearing about this in history class in high school the pictures still burned in my head. I can't believe what happened to all those innocent people. I'm in my 30es now it still makes me sad. Thank you for sharing your experience ive often wondered what the camp actually looked like.
As a German this is a mandatory class trip for everyone, I went to two or three camps I think when I was younger. Seeing you vlog this experience with such grace and historic curiosity made me respect you even more so than I already did for your bubbly but honest fitness videos. When you wondered why some rooms were allowed to be seen I thought to myself how we often show the most ugly truths in order to have them be remembered. So they are not so much shown for sensational reasons but to educate and have people grasp the whole disturbing truth and danger that lies within regimes and hateful humans. It is to make you painfully aware what people are capable of and to remind you to stand up for the people that need your help and power. To never make this happen again. Now, at a time where right wing parties are on a rise all over the world I am even more so grateful for someone like you to share this as people will be more receptive to your experience there rather than a finger in the air know it all teacher figure. Thank you again.
Judaic indoctrination.
You being German has nothing to do with it. Stop pushing this disgusting gulit.
Thank you for sharing this video it is a part of our history we must never let be forgotten. I had the honor of meeting a Holocost survivor a few years ago at a Memorial day service he was the guest speaker. He spent his entire teenage years in the camps, he saw and was forced to do things no one should have to see and do.
Never Forget. So heart breaking. So much respect to everyone. Let’s live in love from now 😢
Amen 🌹
Stripped pajamas is the saddest movie ever...
+Angie Alfaro Ahhhhhhh I've seen it....so sad. :(
😞 Makes us realize how blessed we truly are even when sometimes we feel other wise!! Thank you for the video Heidi, have a great day. Hi From Tennessee 🙂
It was a made up film.
It is an outrage that there are many who deny that these atrocities occurred, thank you for helping to educate the world about the truth.
I grew up in Poland and it’s mandatory for everyone to go visit Auschwitz in 8th grade. That was basically our mandatory field trip for every 8th grader in the country. It’s impossible to explain what you feel while walking through there. You did a great job capturing the camp.
My late father was one of the American service members who helped liberate these camps. His campaigns were D-Day, Northern France, Rhineland, Central Europe and the Ardennes (popularly known as the Battle of the Bulge).
I'm jewish and Thanks for making my day it really means a lot to me
Be alert about evil people specially when they start forming aggressive righteous groups targeting others
exactly like gangstalkers and cyberbullies
I went to the Holocaust memorial and museum in high school, it’s the most emotional trip I’ve ever been and it will remain with me for the rest of my life.
Thank you so much for sharing this Heidi! I was just bawling watching your video 😭 I live in North Pole, Alaska - practically neighbors with your family 🙏🏻 This is so important for everyone to see
Thank you for sharing. I have never been and not sure I’ll get there so this was a good way to see it. Very respectfully done 🙏
I know nothing about your channel, but the way you're presenting this is very classy.
You got my respect. Best of luck
I am sickened to think that people say that the Holocaust is a lie. I am sickened to watch this. But I watch it, not because I want to, but because I need to
Anyoneone who thinks this is a conspiracy, has a sub-human level of intelligence. So you probably wont be able to read this comment anyway
so how about starting with serious research then?
Darkalex987 / King of Westeros * racist f*ckin pr*ck
rice withaspoon dat aint me its a poor kid my friends forced to play basketball so i taped it.
@L Ey your comment shows me ignorance my friend.
I thin the word executed should be replaced by the word murdered.
"Women, CHILDREN!, elderly and the handicapped were sent directly to the gas chambers" clenches my heart so much...oh my god💔😭😭😭
It wasn't mentioned that the prisoners in the video with the upside down triangles were there for being homosexual. It's a population far too often left out of the Holocaust discussions.
Thank you for Sharing...my uncle was in WWII...i Loved hem so much....he lived to tell me about it... he died @home when i was only 8 in 1976 ...im so thankful that a member of my family helped these people....however for some..we get there a bit. to late..sad for loss on both sides!
OK I'm German and very interested in this stuff my 5th grde teacher was Jewish and taught us about The Holocaust. I'm sorry for anyone who finds this comment offensive but it's true. I'm not a monster. I'm not the one who did this. And if u hate me in the comment section I will not find it offensive.
Thank you for sharing this sad video. So many have watched movies of the death camps. Your video made it more personable.
my gramps was taken in 42 and used as a prisoner for the invasion of russia since he could drive and fix any type of vehicle. He was deemed very important for labour obviously, and worked as slave labour for the nazis all the way until 1944. He got sick with something, I cant recall, and they sent him home to get better. As soon as he got home within days they were all taken to Auschwitz. Talk about bad timing. He was tough, stubborn, and strong so he was able to bare it. My grandma had PTSD from Auschwitz, and already tried ending herself. Long after the war during communism he was considered a smuggler. He would bring in western goods. He was caught, and sent to a re-education camp. The second time he was caught he was sent to a Gulag. The man had such a tough life. Anytime I think I have it hard I just imagine the stuff that man endured.
Sickening how much evil has and still exist in this beautiful world.
