Ah- all the reels are being "enhanced" ... amazing!!! What we see here is beyond anyone's understanding and experience despite its seeming unconspicuousness. It is also good to keep in mind that the film maker who shot these scenes was also deported to a death camp shortly after and killed. Most of the people seen here were sent to a death camp and killed as well. It would be great if the soundtrack could be eye witnesses from Westerbork who would contrast these propaganda scenes with actual experience.
@@omgsolikevalleygirl Thank you very much. The full film will probably be released tomorrow. Currently we are colorizing the last of 10 film fragments (and having to blackout some scenes that a couple of nasty companies have wrongfully claimed as being copyrighted, despite the fact that the film is now Unesco heritage). I am sorry, but I am just a one-man-band so the film will only be accompanied by sad music. I have no possibility to try to find some of the last remaining Westerbork survivors. Most of them are dead by now.
@@Rick88888888 fantastic! Being able to look at this footage is very important - we can't imagine what happened at these camps, and if we can not imagine it, we can not keep it in mind - so someone may say at some point "do you really think it was that bad.. makes no sense" - that is why the eyewitness accounts are so important. The Shoah Foundation or the Yad Vashem archive have a lot of recorded eye witness accounts. But just having the footage with "decreased distance" by you enhancement process is really fantastic! Thank you so much!!!
according to Franz Suchomel, one of the deporation trains such as the ones seen departing from Westerbork here could carry up to 2000 people to an extermination camp. That is more than died during the sinking of the Titanic. Innocent people, families, children... people just like you and me.

0:27 This girl looked so afraid and probably knew that she would be murdered like million others who have been murdered as part of the Final solution. Her name was: *Settela Steinbach* Born on 23-12-1934 Bocht, Holland. Died on 31-07-1944 KZ Aushwitz, Poland. On May 16th 1944 she was arrested in Eindhoven with other Jewish family’s during a razzia and got deported to durchgangslager Westerbork. On May 19th she was deported again to Auschwitz-Birkenau as destination. Before the doors were closed, she was looking to a dog passing by before a SS camp guard closed the cargo car door. That moment was captured by the Jewish-German photographer: Rudolf Breslauer. (*died on February 28th 1945 in Auschwitz, only his daughter Ursula Breslauer survived the war.*) On May 21th 1944 she arrived at KZ Auschwitz-Birkenau with her family and were registered and sended to a section for Roma’s. In summer 1944 when a train arrived from Hungary with more than half a million Jews, a arose broke out in the Roma barrack section which resulted in an uprising, this was quashed by the SS camp guards and Roma’s who were considered fit during health inspections by SS doctors, were deported to Germany for forced labour in the German weapon industry. In the period of August 3, 1944, the remaining 3,000 Jews of the Roma section were gassed. Settela, her mother, two brothers, two sisters, two nephews, a niece and her aunt belonged to this group, so her date of death when she was gassed is still unknown to this day. of the entire Steinbach family, only the father survived. Due to the great loss, he died of Grief in 1946, two years after his entire family was gassed and murdered in Auschwitz-Birkenau, Poland. - One like is one pray for every single murdered victim of the Holocaust - We must stop Holocaust-deniers and neo-Nazi’s!
it is so great to know the name and circumstances of these victims - how was this found out, do you know? I wish the story of each of the millions of victims could be told.
Being in colour makes this remarkable film even more important as a reminder to what cruelty man kind can force on others. Thank you for the work you did to restore this film .
@@franz6448 Are you aware that there were a lot Jews who themselves spoke nothing else but german, or for whom german was their mother tongue? You make a weird distinction in which german is the Nazi language. In reverse it would mean that german is therefore something "artfremd" to Jews today, just exactly the Nazis claimed once. The reasons why german gives her goose bumps is obviously because she encountered the language only in a holocaust context and by Hitler speeches from documentaries, which is a sad development.
There's nothing wrong by showing this. This is the truth and needs to be shown to the young population of the world of the horrors of WW2 and the Nazi's. God Bless from the USA!.
@Franco. Een jaar geleden zou ik dit inderdaad ongelofelijk hebben genoemd. Nu kan ik het me prima voorstellen. Als ik ‘s avonds nog even een rondje loop, wat ik al een paar jaar doe, kom ik niemand meer tegen. 🤔
bijna te relaxed in kleur ,maar t voelt zoveel dichterbij nu..maar een oorlog kan soms dichterbij zijn dan je zelf vermoed..zie alle conflicten om ons heen..teveel uitdagingen die op ons afkomen!!bless the days in peace!!
The color makes it look more real. As if it was taken yesterday. Black and white tends to make footage look ancient and so far into the past when in reality this was only 77 years ago. Its not ancient history. A tregedy like this can definitely happen again if humanity doesn't remember.
Nu ik deze beelden zoveel scherper en op de juiste snelheid zie, maken ze nog meer indruk dan ze al deden in mindere kwaliteit. Het toevoegen van kleur hoeft van mij persoonlijk niet. Dank voor het delen.
At 2:41 I was surprised how easy it was for the man to pick up the barrel. Clearly it is empty. And I do recall from survivors that they had one small container as a toilet per packed railroad cattle car for the multi-day journey to the camps. Men and women together. They were stripped of dignity before they were stripped of life. Just so sad.
The things you can do with the latest up-to-date tech to put more 'life' from the original footage really is impressive. I did wonder if you was going to project your work to Wartime footage at some point. Its sad to see but can be used to educate the todays and the future generation to come with past historic importance. Thank you for sharing and a very interesting read up.
I am very careful with WWII footage. A lot is still copyrighted. At present my channel is free from any copyrighted material (apart from New York in 1937). There is a new channel that will deal with colorized WWII material: ua-cam.com/channels/kOR3skX3wLCDOruw5a7wzg.html Here is Pearl Harbor in color: ua-cam.com/video/qZUpXZ7aDaY/v-deo.html
@@Rick88888888 Thank you for the reply, I had thought much footage was still under copyright. I have now subscribed to your latest channel. I forgot to say the music in your videos really brings the hairs of my neck to stand. Keep up the great work.
This is the camp that Anne Frank and her family and friends were sent to in August 1944 and from where they were sent to Auschwitz on the last transport to leave Holland on Sunday 3rd. September. To see this place as she saw it, is very poignant.
@@pastro9277 Anne Frank and her family were sent to Auschwitz from Westerbork in September 1944. In October she and her sister along with Mrs. Van Pels were sent from Auschwitz to Bergen Belsen where the two sisters died in the early spring of 1945 during the typhus epidemic that had spread through the camp.
I feel like these images could be footage produced for Nazi propaganda - the seeming innocuousness and relaxed atmosphere at the trains and in the factories seems so unreal given what we know happened to these people later on: most of them, also the women and children seen here, were killed or died from the abuse. It would be good to cross-check with eyewitness reports of people who were to Westerbork at this time. It may have been a lot more abusive than it appears here. Or it could be that these people were indeed still clueless about what was about to happen to them.
this is the beginning of the deportation, when they still didn't know they were going to be in these wagons for days without food, only made to take this trip to be killed in a gas chamber or worked to death.
het werk wat je doet met inkleuring van zwart wit films is fantastisch, wat we vandaag zien is de bittere waarheid wat toen is gebeurt, hebben we er wat uit geleerd is de vraag die mening mens zichzelf stelt als je deze echte beelden ziet, dit zou nooit meer mogen gebeuren, helaas komt onderdrukking van diverse bevolkingsgroepen nog steeds voor overal in deze wereld
I gave a like. For showing this again to the world. I hope humanity will face the fact that humans can be monsters and that we have to deal with that fact and not just judge people that were on the wrong place at the wrong time.
Als ik naar mijn ouders ga in Drenthe dan rij ik vaak het spoor over en dan gaan mijn gedachten vaak terug naar hoeveel mensen over het spoor zijn gedeporteerd.
Although it breaks my heart to see this video, I feel that younger generations should know what really happened during the second world war so that it is never repeated. Thanks again for your work on these videos.
So what about the 30 million murdered in the 1920s & 1930s in the USSR ? What about the 60-100 million victims of Communism in China (and the 1 million in re-education camps today)? How about N. Korea ? Pol Pot's Cambodia? Why do you think that the "younger generations" should know about just WW2 when similar horrors are continuing today under Communist regimes and in Islamic nations ? Instead of watching UA-cam videos about WW2 crimes, perhaps you should be screaming about the labor & re-education camps in China & N. Korea.
@Jake Johansson "Numbers are not decisive" ?? The murder of 30 million by Lenin/Stalin not so bad as the murder of 6 million by Hitler ? The killing - by man-made famine (the Great Leap Forward) and the murder of 60 million + in Mao's China during The Cultural Revolution....not so bad as Hitler killing 6 million ??? Perhaps you put those millions in your "times of struggle" category ? Your bizarre and monstrous calculus marks you as every bit as cold-blooded as those who perpetrate these genocides.
@Jake Johansson So you think that Stalin and his NKVD murdering 7 - 10 million Ukrainians in order to enforce 'collectivisation' in the 1930s was a "good reason" ? Try Googling "Holodomor". And in Communist China, no "cold-blooded" genocide there ?
Thank you very much Rick. I was born after the WOII but watching this video makes me sad. Visiting Auschwitz and Birkenau a couple a years ago I realized what happened in those days and many innocent people were murdered in those camps and you felt the atmosphere of the past. Thank you for showing this too Rick and also remembering the song of Bob Dylan "With God on our side" Rick bedankt en dit mogen we natuurlijk nooit vergeten

This video is heartbreaking to watch. Unlike a scene from a film that was set during the Holocaust but made in modern times, you know that the people in it weren't actors who got to go to their comfortable homes at the end of the day, but real people whose fates hung in the balance. Many of the prisoners seen in this video very likely died in the concentration camps that they eventually wound up in. Anne Frank and the seven other people in hiding with her spent two months at this camp before being put on the last train to Auschwitz; only her father would survive the war. Westerbork, which mainly functioned as a holding area for Jews being transported elsewhere, was almost a resort compared to the other horrific camps that these unfortunate prisoners would be sent to. The facilities were primitive, but at least the prisoners got to wear their normal clothes and have hair, get medical care if they needed it, have social activities to some degree, and live a relatively normal life within prison walls. Sadly, most of the prisoners spent maybe two or three months here at the most, before experiencing a living nightmare at camps like Auschwitz, or gassed upon arrival at places like Sobibor and Treblinka. This is all so tragic beyond imagination!

I couldn’t watch it. And to think this horror occurred after the Age of Enlightenment, after the French & American revolutions, after the abolition of slavery and the American Civil War, and for God’s sake...after the 1st World War... What is wrong with us? Or rather, what is it that will drive some people to do this and others to let it happen.
Hello back rick...thx for your message...fascinating history notes description ...if this film was not intended for nazi propaganda reasons , do you perhaps know what it was intended for? So many details and further questions surface in this short film.i wonder how they identified the girl in train ...we can finally see who she is in color..rest their souls Thanks again
You might want to visit the Dutch weblink in the description and translate that page with Google. Camp commander Gemmeker maybe made this film to try and clear his name after the war by showing that there were no attrocities in his camp. We will never know his exact motives. After the war he denied having had any knowlegde of what happened to the people after they were transported on to Germany.
well a lot of people going east bound those days never came back the eastern front was the real hell all horrific terror rape and mayhem you can think of also stealth death and death by starvation kannibalism triple genocide
Very interesting historical video. Thanks for sharing. I must say though, I've never seen a comment section with so many people talking out of their rear ends. The virtue signalling...dear Lord. So many "historians", and never before seen "facts". This seems to be one subject where just saying something in a dramatic way makes it so. Platitudes abound!
It says a lot about the quality of the history lessons that todays youth get. I often shield my eyes when reading the comments section. You haven't even seen the worst of them, including Holocaust-deniers who I don't give a platform on my channel.
@@Rick88888888 I get exextremely upset about the holocaust deniers and white supremacist nazi's. My grandparents home in Norway was occupied by German officers during the occupation. My mother slapped my face in a store when I was 7 years old for saying what a jew,about the price of the item she was buying. Of course I didn't know what I was saying, had heard others say it. We must never allow these people who claim to be nazi's a platform to spew their hatred. Harald Lief Christiansen 🇧🇻🇺🇸
I find this incredibly heartbreaking, knowing what happened to so many of these people. You can see on their faces they had no idea what was in store for them. The Nazis were fkn cowards.
Kan niet vaak genoeg getoond worden. Inmiddels zijn er mensen die dit soort praktijken alweer een goed idee lijkt in opmars. Geschiedenisonderwijs moet meer en beter!
Helemaal mee eens! Zie bijvoorbeeld de ondoordachte opmerking van Ackerley Trade hierboven. En zo zijn er meer. De ergste heb ik weggehaald. Jongelui hebben vaak geen idee van wat zich tijdens WOII allemaal heeft afgespeeld.
Mensen die nog steeds zo denken hebben nog niet genoeg van deze beelden gezien. Niks ervan geleerd. Mooi dat deze beelden ingekleurd en verbeterd zijn, waarvoor dank. Het geeft een veel realistischer kijk op wat er toen gebeurde. De broer van mijn grootmoeder heeft 5 kampen overleefd. Hij heeft veel geluk gehad. De echtgenoot van mijn grootmoeder heeft nooit in een kamp gezeten maar werd in ons dorp geëxecuteerd samen met 2 anderen omdat waarschijnlijk verzetsleden of sympathisanten "iets" geprobeerd hadden tegen terugtrekkende Nazi's.

Denk je echt dat de overheid zoveel om ons geeft dat ze miljarden uitgeven voor onze gezondheid en bereid zijn om de samenleving en de economie te slopen? Nee, het is een plan 'The Great Reset' van het wef, of Agenda 2030 van de UN (komt op hetzelfde neer).
When you see this and think of the impact it had then. Those poor people were lead to belive that the camps were civilised. How evil it was to have done such a thing. Is this type of deception still happening today? It saddens me to think it is.

On May 21th 1944 she arrived at KZ Auschwitz-Birkenau with her family and were registered and sended to a section for Roma’s. In summer 1944 when a train arrived from Hungary with more than half a million Jews, a arose broke out in the Roma barrack section which resulted in an uprising, this was quashed by the SS camp guards and Roma’s who were considered fit during health inspections by SS doctors, were deported to Germany for forced labour in the German weapon industry.
In the period of August 3, 1944, the remaining 3,000 Jews of the Roma section were gassed. Settela, her mother, two brothers, two sisters, two nephews, a niece and her aunt belonged to this group, so her date of death when she was gassed is still unknown to this day. of the entire Steinbach family, only the father survived.
Due to the great loss, he died of Grief in 1946, two years after his entire family was gassed and murdered in Auschwitz-Birkenau, Poland.
- One like is one pray for every single murdered victim of the Holocaust -
We must stop Holocaust-deniers and neo-Nazi’s!
it is so great to know the name and circumstances of these victims - how was this found out, do you know? I wish the story of each of the millions of victims could be told.
Being in colour makes this remarkable film even more important as a reminder to what cruelty man kind can force on others. Thank you for the work you did to restore this film .
German language always give me goosebumps and stress.
My father was prisoner of war and survived 2.7 years in concentration camp.🙏
sounds like you should go to a therapeut
Elena, I am german and I understand you very well. 🌹
@@franz6448 Are you aware that there were a lot Jews who themselves spoke nothing else but german, or for whom german was their mother tongue? You make a weird distinction in which german is the Nazi language. In reverse it would mean that german is therefore something "artfremd" to Jews today, just exactly the Nazis claimed once.
The reasons why german gives her goose bumps is obviously because she encountered the language only in a holocaust context and by Hitler speeches from documentaries, which is a sad development.
It must have been a very bad concentration camp then.
There's nothing wrong by showing this. This is the truth and needs to be shown to the young population of the world of the horrors of WW2 and the Nazi's. God Bless from the USA!.
Never ever again. Nie wieder!! We are still here....
Ongelofelijk dat dit zich ooit heeft voorgedaan. Prachtig document en weer mooi gepresenteerd.

very nice work with the restoration, it really look so good and refreshed, thanks :)
Thank you very much!
Fascinating footage. I've studied WW2 formally and informally since I was a kid and I still don't think that events have totally sunk in.
I'm 62. I saw The World At War when I was a teenager and I'm still a ww2 buff. I'm still learning new things. Lately, I'm learning about spies.
The color makes it look more real. As if it was taken yesterday. Black and white tends to make footage look ancient and so far into the past when in reality this was only 77 years ago. Its not ancient history. A tregedy like this can definitely happen again if humanity doesn't remember.
Exactly. It’s very recent history. We tend to view events that took place before we were born as so distant and far in the past.
Nu ik deze beelden zoveel scherper en op de juiste snelheid zie, maken ze nog meer indruk dan ze al deden in mindere kwaliteit. Het toevoegen van kleur hoeft van mij persoonlijk niet. Dank voor het delen.
At 2:41 I was surprised how easy it was for the man to pick up the barrel. Clearly it is empty. And I do recall from survivors that they had one small container as a toilet per packed railroad cattle car for the multi-day journey to the camps. Men and women together. They were stripped of dignity before they were stripped of life. Just so sad.
The things you can do with the latest up-to-date tech to put more 'life' from the original footage really is impressive. I did wonder if you was going to project your work to Wartime footage at some point. Its sad to see but can be used to educate the todays and the future generation to come with past historic importance. Thank you for sharing and a very interesting read up.
I am very careful with WWII footage. A lot is still copyrighted. At present my channel is free from any copyrighted material (apart from New York in 1937). There is a new channel that will deal with colorized WWII material: ua-cam.com/channels/kOR3skX3wLCDOruw5a7wzg.html

This is the camp that Anne Frank and her family and friends were sent to in August 1944 and from where they were sent to Auschwitz on the last transport to leave Holland on Sunday 3rd. September. To see this place as she saw it, is very poignant.
Merci Richard pour cette précision.
Bergen belsen not Auschwitz
@@pastro9277 Anne Frank and her family were sent to Auschwitz from Westerbork in September 1944. In October she and her sister along with Mrs. Van Pels were sent from Auschwitz to Bergen Belsen where the two sisters died in the early spring of 1945 during the typhus epidemic that had spread through the camp.
I feel like these images could be footage produced for Nazi propaganda - the seeming innocuousness and relaxed atmosphere at the trains and in the factories seems so unreal given what we know happened to these people later on: most of them, also the women and children seen here, were killed or died from the abuse.
It would be good to cross-check with eyewitness reports of people who were to Westerbork at this time. It may have been a lot more abusive than it appears here. Or it could be that these people were indeed still clueless about what was about to happen to them.
@@richardhumphreys8662 why thete famíly not stay in Auschwitz?
Visited kamp Westerbork today. So sad to be there and realize what happened. Even more sad the world didn't learn from this.
Mooie beelden Rick... opdat wij nooit vergeten!!!
Heartbreaking to see.
Heartbreaking.
Not really
Un verdadero campo de trabajo. La verdad ante nosotros. Excelente video !!
These people had no idea what awaited them at the end of that train ride.
It's so sad to see all these people who don't know what will happen to them.
this is the beginning of the deportation, when they still didn't know they were going to be in these wagons for days without food, only made to take this trip to be killed in a gas chamber or worked to death.
Some of them are carrying an innocent smile on their faces not knowing what they are expecting there :(
Bravely done Rick. And necessary.
het werk wat je doet met inkleuring van zwart wit films is fantastisch, wat we vandaag zien is de bittere waarheid wat toen is gebeurt, hebben we er wat uit geleerd is de vraag die mening mens zichzelf stelt als je deze echte beelden ziet, dit zou nooit meer mogen gebeuren, helaas komt onderdrukking van diverse bevolkingsgroepen nog steeds voor overal in deze wereld

Als ik naar mijn ouders ga in Drenthe dan rij ik vaak het spoor over en dan gaan mijn gedachten vaak terug naar hoeveel mensen over het spoor zijn gedeporteerd.
Ik woon vlakbij het rangeer station Muiderpoort, deze was toen speciaal gebouwd...verderop zitten kogelgaten in de oude muur.
De acht onderduikers uit het Achterhuis waren ook hier in augustus 1944. 💔
Impressive.... even more then we already knew..... lessons to be learned.... days to be remembered
there is nothing learned,still happends(like in China)
True ?.
Adding color only makes this footage all the more gruesome and difficult to watch.
It makes it real of which sadly it was!!.
Humans pffft.
Destroy everything x
Although it breaks my heart to see this video, I feel that younger generations should know what really happened during the second world war so that it is never repeated. Thanks again for your work on these videos.
So what about the 30 million murdered in the 1920s & 1930s in the USSR ? What about the 60-100 million victims of Communism in China (and the 1 million in re-education camps today)? How about N. Korea ? Pol Pot's Cambodia? Why do you think that the "younger generations" should know about just WW2 when similar horrors are continuing today under Communist regimes and in Islamic nations ?
Instead of watching UA-cam videos about WW2 crimes, perhaps you should be screaming about the labor & re-education camps in China & N. Korea.
@@Baskerville22 I feel the same way about all of those situations. I was just making a point concerning this specific video.
@@Baskerville22 Sorry if you thought I was screaming.
@Jake Johansson "Numbers are not decisive" ??
The murder of 30 million by Lenin/Stalin not so bad as the murder of 6 million by Hitler ?
The killing - by man-made famine (the Great Leap Forward) and the murder of 60 million + in Mao's China during The Cultural Revolution....not so bad as Hitler killing 6 million ??? Perhaps you put those millions in your "times of struggle" category ?
Your bizarre and monstrous calculus marks you as every bit as cold-blooded as those who perpetrate these genocides.
@Jake Johansson So you think that Stalin and his NKVD murdering 7 - 10 million Ukrainians in order to enforce 'collectivisation' in the 1930s was a "good reason" ? Try Googling "Holodomor".
And in Communist China, no "cold-blooded" genocide there ?
Immediately brought to mind Trains of No Return by Ofra Haza
Thank you very much Rick.
I was born after the WOII but watching this video makes me sad.
Visiting Auschwitz and Birkenau a couple a years ago I realized what happened in those days and
many innocent people were murdered in those camps and you felt the atmosphere of the past.
Thank you for showing this too Rick and also remembering the song of Bob Dylan "With God on our side"
Rick bedankt en dit mogen we natuurlijk nooit vergeten
Ik heb de funderingen van de oude barakken ooit gezien aldaar. De tranen springen in je ogen. Als je nu er doorheen loopt, blijf dan eens stil staan, doe je ogen dicht en luister. Je begint spontaan te huilen. Heb het zelf ervaren. Gr
This video is heartbreaking to watch. Unlike a scene from a film that was set during the Holocaust but made in modern times, you know that the people in it weren't actors who got to go to their comfortable homes at the end of the day, but real people whose fates hung in the balance. Many of the prisoners seen in this video very likely died in the concentration camps that they eventually wound up in. Anne Frank and the seven other people in hiding with her spent two months at this camp before being put on the last train to Auschwitz; only her father would survive the war. Westerbork, which mainly functioned as a holding area for Jews being transported elsewhere, was almost a resort compared to the other horrific camps that these unfortunate prisoners would be sent to. The facilities were primitive, but at least the prisoners got to wear their normal clothes and have hair, get medical care if they needed it, have social activities to some degree, and live a relatively normal life within prison walls. Sadly, most of the prisoners spent maybe two or three months here at the most, before experiencing a living nightmare at camps like Auschwitz, or gassed upon arrival at places like Sobibor and Treblinka. This is all so tragic beyond imagination!
What about Sachsenhausen.
@@pereiraplaza222
ALL the Nazi camps were terrible places. Some were less brutal than others, but none of them were pleasant places, by any means!

It would be interesting to check if these officers were punished after the war. I think most likely not...
It´s so sad to view this!! so sad!
Toevallig brachten mijn vriendin en ik op 24 februari een bezoek aan dit kamp. Extra indrukwekkend om nu de (ingekleurde) beelden te zien.
In Ukraine, in its capital, a march was held in honor of the SS division, and everyone is silent.
silence is because western countries need these nazis to fight Russians.....history repeating :(
I didn't know about this but I do now. Im going to search and see if I can find more about this.
De eerste beelden die ik van dit kamp in werking heb kunnen vinden. Zeker van historische waarde.
Way different in colour❤️
I couldn’t watch it. And to think this horror occurred after the Age of Enlightenment, after the French & American revolutions, after the abolition of slavery and the American Civil War, and for God’s sake...after the 1st World War...
What is wrong with us? Or rather, what is it that will drive some people to do this and others to let it happen.

Indrukwekkende en tegelijk verschrikkelijke beelden. Bizarre tijden.
Hello back rick...thx for your message...fascinating history notes description ...if this film was not intended for nazi propaganda reasons , do you perhaps know what it was intended for? So many details and further questions surface in this short film.i wonder how they identified the girl in train ...we can finally see who she is in color..rest their souls
Thanks again
You might want to visit the Dutch weblink in the description and translate that page with Google.
Camp commander Gemmeker maybe made this film to try and clear his name after the war by showing that there were no attrocities in his camp. We will never know his exact motives. After the war he denied having had any knowlegde of what happened to the people after they were transported on to Germany.
His innocence is his guilt
I think this is so sad seeing this poor people

Very interesting historical video. Thanks for sharing. I must say though, I've never seen a comment section with so many people talking out of their rear ends. The virtue signalling...dear Lord. So many "historians", and never before seen "facts". This seems to be one subject where just saying something in a dramatic way makes it so. Platitudes abound!
It says a lot about the quality of the history lessons that todays youth get. I often shield my eyes when reading the comments section. You haven't even seen the worst of them, including Holocaust-deniers who I don't give a platform on my channel.
@@Rick88888888 I get exextremely upset about the holocaust deniers and white supremacist nazi's. My grandparents home in Norway was occupied by German officers during the occupation. My mother slapped my face in a store when I was 7 years old for saying what a jew,about the price of the item she was buying. Of course I didn't know what I was saying, had heard others say it. We must never allow these people who claim to be nazi's a platform to spew their hatred.
