- Death of Ilse Koch - Bestial Nazi guard & Sexual Deviant - Buchenwald & Sachsenhausen - Holocaust.
Ilse Koch was born Margarete Ilse Köhler on the 22nd of September 1906 in Dresden.
In 1932, one year before Adolf Hitler came into power, Ilse had joined the Nazi Party. In 1936 Ilse got married to the commandant of Sachsenhausen concentration camp, Karl Otto Koch.
Ilse Koch worked at Sachsenhausen as a guard and secretary.
In August 1937 Karl Otto was assigned to build a new concentration camp in Buchenwald. While he was known for his personal greed in the camps that he worked in, Ilse was feared for her brutality.
At Buchenwald, Ilse became known as the witch.
She was obsessed with tattoos and used to ride her horse around the Buchenwald looking for tattooed prisoners. When she found one, she sent them to their death but before they were killed and burned, she would carve out the part of their skin where the tattoo was located. She used to call these pieces of skin her “ trophies”.
She would go on to collect lampshades, book covers as well as gloves a handbags - all made of human skin.
She shared her obsession with tattoos with Dr. Erich Wagner, allegedly her lover, who wanted to find the connection between tattoos and criminal tendencies.
Despite having her 3 of her own children, she hated pregnant women and she used to beat them with whip along the entire length of which pieces of a razor were inserted.
Koch also found pleasure in beating children inmates. She would laugh loudly when seeing them going to the gas chambers.
She was also a sexual deviant. She not only organized numerous orgies with SS men and their wives but also forced male prisoners to rape female prisoners in front of her. She enjoyed walking around the camp half-naked or in skimpy clothes, provoking prisoners to make eye contact with her. When they did, they were taken by the guards and shot in the head.
She was also reported that she had ordered prisoners to serve her while she was nude and enjoyed sexually humiliating the sex-starved prisoners.
In 1941, Buchenwald caught the attention of Josias Waldeck, the Higher SS and Police Leader for Weimar who in this position had supervisory authority over Buchenwald concentration camp.
Ilse was accused of the embezzlement of over 700,000 Reichsmarks and Karl Otto was charged with both embezzlement and the unauthorized murder of three prisoners.
When it was revealed that the Kochs had used the massive Nazi apparatus to gain an enormous amount of wealth, their downfall became inevitable as all the possessions stolen from murdered Jews was regarded as the property of the Reich.
While Ilse was acquitted for lack of evidence, Karl-Otto Koch was executed by firing squad on 5th of April 1945.
The Buchenwald camp, place of Koch’s atrocities, was liberated in April 1945.
Ilse Koch was then tried at the Buchenwald trial which began on the 11th of April 1947 in the internment camp of Dachau, where the former Dachau concentration camp had been located until late April 1945. Out of 31 defendants, Ilse Koch was the only woman.
She was sentenced to life imprisonment and her son Uwe, conceived while in custody, was born in October 1947. Uwe’s father was another German prisoner.
Her sentence was initially commuted to four years, but after a general outcry, she was immediately indicted by a German court for instigation to murder in 135 cases.
The hearing of the Second Trial opened on 27th of November 1950 and lasted seven weeks, during which 250 witnesses were heard, including 50 for the defense. Koch collapsed and had to be carried from court in late December 1950 and again in January 1951. At least four witnesses for the prosecution testified that they had seen Koch choose tattooed prisoners, who were then killed, or had seen or been involved in the process of making human-skin lampshades from tattooed skin
When on the 15th of January 1951, the Court pronounced its verdict in a 111-page-long decision sentencing Ilse Koch to life imprisonment, she was not present in court.
She made several petitions for a pardon, all of which were rejected by the Bavarian Ministry of Justice.
Ilse Koch was 60 years old when she hanged herself with a bedsheet after which she was buried in an unmarked grave.
There were no tears shed for Ilse Koch.

People like this walk among us, only constrained by the lack of power.
True
I had a similar thought recently. I honestly don’t think anyone is incapable of murder, for instance. Just circumstance and emotions.
I didn't have a lovely mother....
@Huwhite Devil For those who are in power - their power depends on how little regular people resist them.
What if they are in position of power and that everyone " don t see, don t tell " ? Remove " What if " from my stance and see in what world we are living in.
I feel sorry for her son who committed suicide because of the crimes of his biological parents. I can’t even imagine how he felt or how people can / could do such horrific crimes against others. Still a very sick world today 2023!
I agree, I hope there was somebody to mourn his passing! His parents were monsters, but he was innocent! He hope he found some peace in the hereafter! R.I.P.
@@pdoyle6000 *mourn
My uncle , who served in the Canadian Forces, was captured and transported to a concentration camp, I believe it was Bergen-Belsen. He attempted to escape by jumping out of the truck while being transported. He suffered a boken hip and leg which was untreated. He walked with a severe limp for the rest of his life. When the Allied forces freed the Bergen-Belsen prisoners my uncle was taken to England to "fatten him up". My Mom said she when came back to canada he was literally a skelton , and that was after being "fattened up". My uncle said all they were given to eat was a pot of water with 1 cabbage and nothing else - 1 pot of water and 1 cabbage for the entire camp. The cabbage field was all around the concentration camp. He said that there were mass graves and the ground would move if you stood on the mounds where the bodies were buried.....Thank you for sharing this video....this was a very dark time in our history. 😓😓
It's amazing what people can do when they have no foreseen repercussions. The amount of evil of this woman did is unbelievable.
A good percentage of it is likely false. For example, there were no lampshades. That was debunked years ago but it's being recycled on channels like this. The truth is likely she wasn't any worse than your average gulag deputy. Which wasn't good but there weren't lampshades of human skin.
@@Aeimos What are you a lampshade connoisseur?
@@UhtredOfBamburgh It's a myth wide scale human lampshades were made of human skin by Nazis. Likewise, this story of Koch is likely a fabrication.
@@Aeimos Can't figure out if you are lampshade connoisseur or a holocaust denier. Now I'm even more confused
@@UhtredOfBamburgh I'm confused too. Am I supposed to accept everything I hear uncritically?
That prisoner saved many lives saying it’s already blown up. Hats off to him and all the other survivors. I don’t know how they did it.
The sheep are the most pathetic creatures on the planet for believing the lies of the Allies and the Soviet Union; that's why they are the clowns of the world. XD
When it comes down to things in WW2 that people did that completely changed the direction of the war, it is a vast amount that boggles the mind. There was a Greek citizen " a spy" for the allies who was serving drinks to Nazi soldiers and had overheard some of their conversation.... anyway, long story short, when they left the bar, he made a phone call and revealed what he had heard. The info he gave let the allies to get a head start on field operations which cost the Nazis a key strategic stronghold and ultimately paved the way for other victories. Thousands of stories from the war that just had everyday folks changing the course of history.
@@clownchaostime3024 Germany were always the good guys in WWII; the bad guys were European Banking, the Allies and the Soviet Union. You should learn from the real history of WWII before you speak, silly sheep. ;)
@@clownchaostime3024 And yet today fascism is making a comeback. Italy is the latest and that really shocked me, once it's out of peoples memory then it just starts all over.

I really liked the part where she was haunted by her crimes and driven insane by her guilt.
the world works in mysterious ways. I'm glad she was spared the firing squad so she could endure the turmoil of her crimes.
Yet, suicide is to me an easy way out. Nothing like the torment she caused a life time to others.
@@jujumulligan43 it's a big deal committing suicide. She must have come to terms with her crimes. I wish she got life but it's better than the instant relief of a bullet. I am not at all religious but I hope she is burning in hell.
Maybe she was driven insane by all these Jews lying about her?
I hope she suffered.
The most heartbreaking thing to learn in life is that there are people who get great joy out of hurting others. 💔
It happens now, everyday in the STREETS of America where people are so sinister that they beat or stomp you to death, knock you out, bludgeon you with a hammer, slash your face, push you in front of moving subway cars, splash acid in your face, etc., all for the sheer enjoyment. They say these poor misfortunates in life are mentally ill and need help, but if certain defined groups of people are attacked by these beasts, we’ll then it’s a hate crime.
Not me. I’m a Christian. I only have joy in helping others.
Especially those who abuse their own children
@@joey1317 Yeah, Christians are great. Especially those joy-loving Spanish Inquisition guys. Moron.
Sadly this still exists. World is full of sadistic people:(
Absolutely sickening. Horrifying what evil can seep into a person, especially once they are in a power position. Selfish, cruel, evil.
What's additionally disturbing is that people like her exist everywhere. They're called psychopaths. She's an example of what happens when a psychopath is given a position of power over others. That human lamp shade thing is reminiscent of Jeffrey Dahmer.
I'm glad at least the council didn't allow her to plead insanity, as I'm sure many of the monsters in the Nazi regime at least tried.
The cruelty that humans are capable of is unfathomable.

“There were no tears shed for Ilse Koch” but there were plenty shed BECAUSE of her.

Yes, true words spoken. She was an evil incarnation of a dark being.
Showing this too late for my generation to see: should’ve shown in the 80s or 90s
Total bullshit story
Never forget history, especially the most uncomfortable and deplorable parts of it.
So many guilty murderers never got their justice so many sickos set free to run the western world especially the judiciary and the financial institutions thats a bigger crime to me than the horrors the nazis did why?were these monster never pursued by the allies seems to be the bogeymen the russians were the only ones who did the business
Woke people need to stop trying to erase history because it's offensive. No heck it's offensive. There's alot of this around the world that goes unheard of. It's so sad
Yet they're asking black people to forget what happened to them and ignore what's happening to them now.
@@ookipuki yes, because the left is famous for its Holocaust deniers
That’s falling on deaf ears mate, people that do these things don’t watch UA-cam.
I feel sorry for her innocent son who ended taking his own life, for the crimes of his mother 🙏🏻
I once watched an interview with the British actor Dirk Bogarde, who in his youth, had been one of the first British soldiers to have liberated one of the concentration camps (I forget which). Although the interview took place at least 30 years after the war, Bogarde broke into tears as he spoke of it, and clearly struggled to continue. The vast majority of the allied soldiers who actually saw the camps and the survivors had already been through the nightmare of the battlefields, the blood, the fear, the loss of comrades and friends, but nothing could compare to the traumatic experience of liberating these emaciated shells of people. Many were so traumatised that they could no longer function properly as soldiers, and many suffered depression, recurring nightmares etc, for years after. To this day it remains inconceivable that humans can be so evil and sadistic.
Have you heard of Donald Trump

This should serve as a reminder to American citizens....We cannot turn a blind eye to any politician/party who want to take away the civil liberties of the people. Ever!
Not JUST American citizens. Every citizen from every country. We're only one cog in a huge wheel.
You are so correct! Those who refuse to learn from the past will be doomed to repeat it!👍🏾
its too late
Well ,look what the Biden Administration is doing to the ones who disagree with him. It's happening now!!!
And teach American history to your own people, so you never forget what you did.
The first time I met my wife's grandfather, a man who was in the Rainbow 42nd division that liberated Dachau, he actually told me some about what he witnessed. My wife told me he had never really spoken about it much to any of her family but he opened up to me about it. He said "You could never forget the smell, and bodies were stacked taller than me (he was a very tall man) like cordwood". He didn't go on into much more detail but I could tell it really bothered him. I couldn't imagine the horrors he saw there.
Many of the prisoners died anyways soon after being liberated cuz they were so far gone. They had to be careful about feeding them, giving anything to drink because if they gave them the wrong thing or too much it would cause them to die.
Good God.
As an English gal, I find sooo strange that the ONLY times I have ever heard the term cordwood used, is to describe stacked bodies!!!! Even had to add the term to !y dictionary now, as !y tablet didn't recognise it! Gulps!!
Mind-blowing how the liberators had been in extreme battles on the front lines, some of them for years, and most of them are able to talk about those things. But when it comes to what they saw in the concentration camps, their eyes get watery, their voices start cracking, fading in and out, and their composure goes limp. If that doesn't horrify you, then nothing will.
Did you know that the SS arrested her in 1943 and her husband for their crimes lse Koch remained at Buchenwald until 24 August 1943, when she and her husband were arrested on the orders of Josias von Waldeck-Pyrmont, SS and Police Leader for Weimar, who had supervisory authority over Buchenwald. The charges against the Kochs comprised private enrichment, embezzlement, and the murder of prisoners to prevent them from giving testimony.
Thank you for showing this to the world !
That ending made me smile “there were no tears shed for Ilse KOCH!”
not defending her at all, but the video maker does not know that for sure. its more of a poetic biased conclusion to a great video though.
@@LadyFairChildVideo I have to agree with you. Actually now that I think of it.. could be tears of joy as well as sadness.
@@LadyFairChildVideo obviously
Near the end, she is described as having hallucinations of prisoners coming throught the walls and demanding their skin back.
I get the impression that in her days of insanity, she also regained some of her conscience. She knew full well the darkness of her deeds.
Too late and too little.
if she could have seen what the israelites have become today and the gaza strip,she would have smiled a little and found a little peace, perhaps in all of us lies a little IIse Koch.
@@davidtwliew616
"..Perhaps in all of us lies a little Ilse Koch.."
I hope the Israeli stay as relentless as they are to protect their Jews.
Probably because of Allied torture.
@@jont2576 You mean the Muslim dogs that the Israelis constantly own in every firefight? Always good to see an Israeli missile take out some child molesters and inbred cave dwellers. The muslims took over where IIse Koch left off...but not as successful, lol.
What's truly amazing are the moments of courage that have such a big effect. That example of the prisoner who took the call and deceived them into thinking the camp was already blown up.. we can't possibly fathom the courage it took to do that, given that persons situation. They likely didn't consider themselves a hero, but they truly were. We'll never know how many moments like this exist, but they are a true testament to what humans are capable of.
There not human, evil existence.
This is one of the most unique comments I've read on this. Moments like that are easily overlooked, but that one action saved the lives of everyone left in that camp, as well as preserved history for us all to see and read about. I'm glad for this chance to see through your eyes, Mike.
When you're faced with almost certain death, saving other people becomes important. Nothing left to lose at a certain point.
I think the same. Unfortunately age teached me there is a moment and a person like that for every 10000 horrors and POS in history. Always easier to hurt than to care, easier to kill thatn to help live.
any movie worth its price is built on such small but deep human moments… its not important for these people to be remembered in books that have barely anything to do with actual history, and after death it does matter anyways
“In order for civilization to survive it must remain civilized.” - Rod Serling.
I have been to Weimar and Buchenwald. I had never heard about Ilse. Thank you for this video.
Her son was her last victim.
And her actions even had an effect on her son's suicide who couldn't get over the idea that those despicable human beings were his parents. Poor child.
Pity him. He couldn't live with the huge weight of sin hanging on him. Poor guy being born to such biestiely creatures. I hoped he is at peace now. No such luxury to his mother.
OK I tried to make a comment by voice, but the stupid voice didn't come out right in type. Then I forgot what my point was.
At least shows it's not as hereditary as some people try to make it out to be, and the children of monsters should not be condemned for the sins of their parents simply for being.
@whisped
Too often descendants are blamed but the tragedy is they often suffer as well.
We can’t choose our parents or their actions but we can all learn from the past.
Ilse Koch’s guilt belongs with her alone, not her poor children who suffered enough.
Murdered from CIA
My professor of Finance in NYC was a soldier during WW2. His parents came to the US in 1920s. He told us that after seeing the first concentration camp, regardless orders for 2 weeks they did not take any prisoners, killing everyone.

Sounds fair enough.
So committed war crimes as punishment for war crimes??? Makes sense eh.
@@ryan976david You are so smart b/se you have been there and have never seen that.
I find it interesting how she started life as quite a normal child. It wasn't until she was involved in concentration camps much later in life that she had turned into such a vile piece of work. It shows how having significant power over the lives of others results in uncontrollable evil like this. Truly disturbing.
It is amazing how so many psychopaths wind up in positions of authority.

I remember there was a Twilight Zone episode where an ex-Nazi guard revisits an old death camp he worked in. He then gets tormented into insanity by the ghosts of the inmates. I'd like to imagine Ilse Koch lived that in real life.
General Patton ordering the nearest town to send a thousand citizens to be witnesses was very crucial to the facts stated in this video and what we know today even from a neutral standpoint.
i have seen video of the townspeople being forced to carry the bodies of the concentration victims to there mass graves. some of the townswomen were in fancy dresses and shoes. they all knew what was going on. the American troops went to the town and confiscated food from the local stores and gave it to the starving prisoners.
It was partly to show the truth but I think Patton also understood there was no possible way that this was going on and the public didn't know about it which is what a lot of people claimed

I have read many of your comments. There was a time when I used to read all of Hitler's books plus many others. I grew up in Germany until the age of 18. At which time I emigrated to Canada. I could never understand how this was possible until now. It looks like History is repeating itself. We must not let it.
My stepfather was a Buchenwald survivor with a number tattooed on his arm . He didn't talked much about the camp but mainly about his family life prior to the war and how they all were killed in the death camps . Growing up in Israel in the late 50s the country was full of survivors and most of them will only say "you wouldn't understand if you weren't there"
and now the Israeli government is slaughtering Palestinians, mostly children. No lesson learned.
And yet they feel no remorse doing just what the Nazis did to innocent Palestinians. Blazing hypocrites.
@@binguslover6223 comparing between what the nazis did to the jews and the israeli-palestinian conflict is one of the most absurd comparisons you can make, shows how ignorant you are about the subject. the fact that you find comfort in this ignorance, saying such uneducated and absurd things without a second thought, even after watching this video, using the suffering of the jews to portray them as monsters shows to everybody reading this that your mentality is no different than the nazi party members of that time.

I'm glad she wasn't executed and lived long enough to be haunted by her crimes and lose her grip on reality. Execution seems far too quick and easy for someone who brought such pain and suffering to so many.
The Luciferian Globalist Elite wanted her to live until she no longer had a purpose for their organization.
This was disturbing. But never forget, ' always fear the one you can't criticize'.
"Always fear the one you can't criticize". Wow, that is happening today with our corrupt government.

No, life creates the art

What's more amazing is how we never get to hear about the Judeo-Bolshevik gulags that preceeded the German work camps.
Wait until you read about the Turks. Nazis were rookies. Turks has the same killing rate with the 1/100th of the German tech and organisation...
Back 25 years ago I was working at a Jr High School and we had a women who had been incarcerated at Belson,Belson and another camp. She showed her tatoo and the story she told us about her family and friends that were killed and treated while there. The other teachers and myself sat there with tears rolling down our face. The questions that were asked were honest and truly caring. She still had artifacts that she had collected and hid. This really happened.

I thank you so much for this channel. I'm Swedish, and learning about WW2 is part of our education when we're around 14. We talk about it before that, but it's when we're that age that we learn more in-depth.

I spent a year with a Roma animal trainer. He said before the war there was 136 tribes of Roma. After the war only 36 tribes survived. He was offended by the expression gaped meaning swindled but worried about the loss of Gypsy identity and was proud to be known as a Gypsy.
Is there anywhere on UA-cam or other streaming platform where I can it complete clip of the court trial of these murderers. Can somebody help?
I remember staying up until midnight on Saturdays to watch the World at War series with my father, and seeing the footage taken by American soldiers of the condition of the prisoners at the concentration camps, the piles of corpses thrown into trenches, and the gas chambers. So I have no patience for the people who try to claim the Holocaust was a hoax.
My grandfather had a German name until 1946, when he legally Anglicized it. He didn’t fight on the European, but rather the Pacific Front with Army Intelligence during the War, but I didn’t ever ask him about the name change, it was one of those unspoken things that you could tell on the inside as to why he likely did that. I’m pretty sure he knew about it, and that’s my paternal grandfather, maternal side? Romanian, and yes Germany killed a lot of Romanians especially the Jews and the Gypsies there, too much in the family line affected to have any patience. I’m glad I haven’t add someone try to deny it to me in person, because I sure wouldn’t feel good. And I don’t want to break the rules of decency in my comment. I’m simply going to stop it here
@@ramonandrajo6348 I’m never shutting up. If you don’t like what I have to say, you have the option of ignoring me.
Damn poor thing this shit is boring
People need to know what happened in the past so they would not repeat the same mistakes.
Such people are sick, depraved and utterly bereft of humanity, empathy and kindness...they are disgusting scum...
This was very well done. Historical context and presentation of events without sensationalism.. all in under 15 minutes. Thank you.
Except the inclusion of sensationalist lies such as the "Lampshades" and other flaying stories, which all serious Holocaust historians and researchers concede are fictional - including Yad Vashem and Lucius Clay (at the time Governor of the American Occupation Zone). This video is full of many war time rumours that have subsequently been thoroughly debunked.
At its core the story of the Koch's was one of greed, murder and embezzlement, with many scandalous and pornographic additions made up, yet these embellishments predictably are the ones that people remember. A possible reason for the stories about Ilse Koch being a 'sexual deviant' were promulgated to distract or otherwise muddy the waters around the fact that she became pregnant while already in allied captivity, likely as a result of rape by her captors.
The only thing continuing to spread these lies about the Holocaust at this point acheives is to provide ammunition for Holocaust Revisionists.
for once, I'd complain it was even too fast, had to pause repeatedly in order to read descriptions on pictures
The sheep are the most pathetic creatures on the planet for believing the lies of the Allies and the Soviet Union; that's why they are the clowns of the world. XD
Plain bullshit.
@@stepstoknowinggod not interested Corrina. Stop spamming the chat.
how did anyone get these videos n photos ik the one germen man that had the cam but the rest of these videos how
Great video, I love happy endings!
It was very good to show the Mayor and 1000 of the locals just how horrific the conditions at the camp were. Patten knew he would have to stop people denying how bad it was, even then, so he made films about the diabolical findings revealed by the liberators.
Unfortunately, there were no liberators for those trapped into American slavery, or, the truths of THAT saga would traumatize any decent human being. And yet, while white America is ultra-sensitive to the Holocaust, they continue with the denialism of the psychological & human costs of the American version of naziism.
My late uncle served under Patton and told us horrific stories of the liberation. Uncle Mac was a tank sergeant. Prisoners impaled vertically left there dead. The smells were so bad before one even saw the camps, many soldiers puked before actually seeing what lied ahead.

Did he also tell you the story how your overlords murdered General Patton, after he found out the truth behind the war and that the allies "fought the wrong opponent" ?
@@bjornhartmann6839 Who was the right opponent? The real power players don't get their hands dirty. You can arrest all the high level nazis but the puppetmasters go free. In fact many are nameless. Except now we know. Bloodlines families like the Orsini, Brandolini, etc.
I just want to get right with GOd and be ok when i die
@@bjornhartmann6839 huh?
@@FFTuk
Read the "patton papers" if you are interested in the truth.
@@infowazz
According to Patton it was the soviet union, that got massively supported by the allies and managed to devour the entire eastern europe.
The "nazis" were unironically the "good guys" trying to stop them murder 50 million people and they had succeeded if it werent for the allies.
After Patton became more and more vocal over this, even called the war against germany a crime, he got murdered by the true puppetmasters on the east coast.
Ok I’m addicted to the series, top notch docs!! But the music you use to n these sounds like Lionel Ritchie’s “hello” do my mind keeps flip flopping from diabolical death cult nazis to the music video😝
Thank you it was very interesting
Strange how especially cowardly the most vicious criminal turn out to be
I know right
Pretty common, often cowards use brutality to try and induce fear in others so they wont have to actually fight and many vicious people are too cowardly to show their true selves until they're given a position of power. Chihuahuas and other toy dogs are a good example: they'll pick fights with bigger dogs if they think they wont be blamed and if they think the other dog is too well behaved to fight back. I've got a well trained rottweiler and I've seen over a dozen times where toy dogs have picked a fight with her and she's never reacted violently but if she so much as barks back at them they usually run away screaming in terror. Wish I had it on video but a chihuahua once tried biting her in the shoulder/neck and the little dog got flattened and ran away screaming in pain because the rottweiler just looked to the right when the chihuahua growled and bit her and when the rottweiler swung her cinder block of a head around to look it knocked the chihuahua over like a prius getting hit by a semi truck.
Well said
Brutality is often the cowardly way out. It's the easy and quick solution.
It starts with cowardice and gets covered with aggression... Then the coward realizes how capable he or she is of a small violent attack, and has to reckon with the fact that "If I can do that much, just about anybody could." SO they develop a little bit bigger, quicker, more brutal attack... and have to cycle back to "If I can do this, so can anybody else." ... AND it becomes a vicious cycle mixing with Projection... "If I'M capable of torture, anybody COULD do it, and they could do it to ME!!!"
They lose any faith in the "humanity" of a fellow human being. They only reckon with their own darker and most morbid worries about being violated... BECAUSE that's what THEY DO.
From time to time, it's okay... EVEN HEALTHY to reckon with the depths to which humans can sink in their reckless depravity. We NEED some acknowledgment that we ARE all fully capable of horribly brutal and cruel actions against others. Make no mistake, I'm not going to claim any "Sainthood" for being capable and only choosing not to... AND don't bother trying to convince me that you couldn't possibly, either. If I threatened your family or children in front of you, and you could get a hand on an appropriate implement, I'm sure you'd have no problem forgetting ALL about your otherwise "civilized and decent humanity" in lieu of protecting them... and eventually seeing to it I couldn't get back up and tackle YOU in retaliation... That's just how fighting works...
In psychology, those of us healthy enough to face that reckoning, have termed this process "facing your Shadow". Reaching acknowledgment of the darkest and most depraved, evil depths of yourself. We ALL have it... a Shadow. Those of us who ARE truly healthy can exorcise the thing from time to time with TTRPG's (like D&D) and video games, slasher films, and other dubiously morbid bits of entertainment and media... from Stephen King's novels to Destruction Rooms where you can rent a sledgehammer, club, axe, or whatever and buy the various items to destroy in a space secured away from others so nobody needs actually get hurt... Some of us go to shooting ranges like Knob Creek, Kentucky to buy a bucket of ammunition and rent a machine gun we might ordinarily never get to touch... AND blast the bejeezus out of old appliances, car hulks, and brightly colored "targets" filled with incendiary material to add to our thrill... We ride roller coasters and watch fantasy monster movies to scare the hell out of ourselves... ALL perfectly healthy and natural SO LONG AS we don't let it sweep us into that vicious cycle of worry and contempt...
Worry that "If I can think of this, so can EVERYBODY else!!!" and Contempt for the humanity of other people around us, even and including those some thousands of miles away... We ARE all still very much humans... including (for better and worse) the Nazi's we all despise so vehemently. Maybe don't bother demonizing them so much as we acknowledge this little tidbit, realize they had families, raised children, and knew what "Love" meant. It's a cautionary tale, of the cult of disparity and scapegoating ANYONE in some dubious interest of increasing a political power. ;o)
To World History, thank you for keeping this awful truth alive. "Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it." - Varied
Okay, if you are wondering about the actual death of Isle Koch, it is mentioned at 14:00. It's literally not even spoken of until the last 40 seconds of the video.
And?
@@andriandrason1318 Oh, I don't remember now. She died. Lol It's @ 14:00.
Does anyone know who owns the World History Channel? Thanks.
What a cop-out. She could staunchly stand up without flinching, whenever being mean to prisoners. Yet when she became one herself she could hardly stand up to reverse scrutiny. Oh, please give me a break.
It's always sad when good people leave this world, but I'm glad to know that she already got peace.
@@ramonandrajo6348 I don't think she got peace at all.
If you listened very carefully to the video i, think it said something about her (thinking) she saw dead prisoners coming at her through the walls. I think bad memories, the devil and demons came for her!!
@@manuellubian5709 Hhahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahhaha Whatever, sheep.
@@maplebear6527 6 million more, what?
Manuel, they all did that, but worst was that in Nuremberg when they were question they all said they just were followings order's and pleaded Not Guilty... What a joke! Most of the Height Rankin officers scape or receive small sentence very little for such criminals.
At that time the entire Nation adore and worship Hitler so ordinary people were so fanatically blind that they become Evil killers, Its common the same thing happens in Rwanda, and many more,but my personal opinion is nothing tops the Nazis!
Haunting as punishment. I'm down with that. Well done, Ilse's victims. May you find peace.
The apparitions of her victims coming through the walls of her cell demanding their skin back sounds horrifying
I thought of her as I walked around Buchenwald on a freezing November day. The effect is jarring, with the camp so close to cheerful, historical Weimar. It is a haunted landscape, with the fog descending thick and cold. It is very easy to conjure her image there and to believe every horror story about her.
Why was so much of the footage blurred out? Are there still people in witness protection after 80 years?
She lived far longer than she should have!
If there was one person that needed to hang, and the Army screwed it up.
Eternity in hell will make up for that.
Let Hope there is a hell and she is in it
Not so sure that a quick death was better than years of mental pain and suffering ending in her hanging herself through desperation.
Honestly, I'm kinda glad that she had all that time to spend in a jail cell, slowly going insane and seeing how much the world despised her before she finally ended it all, and...if she ended up in Hell, that was only the beginning of what will be an eternity of sheer agony.
At 7:02 I couldn't take any more. “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
I like how you say "there were no tears shed for..." fu**ing metal af
I want to ask but am afraid i dont want to know but question: how do you shrink a skull by %80?
Powerful, powerful, work!The depth of your efforts makes sure this will never be forgotten! Amen!
Thank you
I think it's already been forgotten. Haven't you heard about what they are doing to young males and females in the name of "transgenderism"???
@@lindabarron2181
Who are "they"?
And what are they doing?
@@janzzen9095 "They" are the "medical establishment" and under the guise of "sex reassignment surgery ", they are cutting off boys penises and girls breasts, as well as hysterectomy surgery. It's advocated by the government now and is being pushed more and more. Surely you have to be aware of this.
@@janzzen9095 The Education system of virtually every Western country. It's become a very, very big election issue in the US. Using the Medical profession to attempt to mutilate children
Years ago I would have been shocked, but after what's been on the news over the past three years, I feel that I have been desensitized to it, "political opponents" and prisoners, sexual deviants, treatment of children.
So sad.
Hello Carol, how are you doing doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
That's right. We saw this in the uk. Demonising the un vaxed, harsh restrictions and mandates all lies from government.
Only the past 3 years?
Carol, think about that, do you think it’s a probability that all of us watching the news these days and becoming desensitized is the goal of the “ powers that be “ ? I really do think that they are doing that. Making atrocities so common that they aren’t atrocities anymore.
I agree and think of that often how the US in forgetting God is getting more Nazi-like. Starts with late term abortion (baby killing)
I watched it with sound and then without. Truly shocking.
I've always had this ominous doubt in the back of my mind when I try to convince my young daughter that monsters don't exist. This is why.
I think as I’m typing , somewhere in the world horrific events similar or even worse are being committed by humans against other humans.

Another incredible broadcast. Thank you for your work and research skills
Hi James, thank you for your nice words.
Shut up, sheep!
it amazes me that the prisoners could retain the will to live while enduring such horrors.
To hear her son commited suicide that just broke my heart. Even to this day, so many people are being held accountable for what their parents did or did not do which is so f'ing wrong.
Her son could not live with the guilt and the weight of sin she committed hanging on his head. It was probably the ultimate payback for what she did.
No
Idk, his mother probably abused him.
Girl shut up
@@lostinspace699 Yes.
Thank you for this channel. 🌿🙏
Thanks for watching
And her final innocent victim was her own son who killed himself out of shame years after the fact.
This whole story is shocking but only a tiny sliver of the bigger picture. Truly horrifying
Just to let you know, the U. S and the UK government both knew about the camp's years before they were "discovered".
Thank you for sharing. All I could do was smh. I was stationed at Spangdahlem (at the time was FRG). Their history haunted me like, my ancestors when I was stationed in the south. Breaks my heart.
I'm from Ottawa, Canada...my landlord in the '80's had a messy numbered tattoo on his forearm which I made the mistake of asking about. He and his family were prisoners in Buchenwald where he was the lone survivor out of a family of 5...
The Nazi also had tattoos...
Yeah, yeah, these "survivors" are everywhere. Not only they're getting younger, but growing in numbers too.
Did you ask him how the pool and theatre was? Or how annoying the lices had to be?
@@deviantic69 So, let me get this straight. In your apologetic froth your suggestion isn't that the story was false, but that the man was? That this random Ottawan Super was a deep plant among potentially 10s or 100s of thousands globally, placed there by TPTB to the purpose of just being kind of around with visible "evidence" of the affair, telling stories to nobodies and clients just so they get spread around and aid the verisimilitude of the lie?
@@deviantic69 40 years ago there were more survivors around.......i also met one with a messy Tattoo.....not believing takes more work then not listening....
@@deviantic69oh so you think that they were actually allowed to swim in the pool or go to the theatre?
Excellent narration by Steven Toast
As time passes, the stories become more and more implausible
I wonder what happened to her other two children? I feel very sorry for them. I cant imagine the pain of being born to such a mother.
Love the last line in all your videos so much. There were no tears shed for these monsters
Thank you
does it really matters that "there were no tears shed for her", she should have been murdered mercilessly but instead she lived for 60 years and took her own life out of boredom that their are no more jews to torture.
The sheep are pathetic. XD
@@sak1211 Because she was a good person unlike the real monsters which caused WWII.
@@ramonandrajo6348 Bro you might want to take a CAT scan, it looks like you lost your brain.
I have read that serial killers and murders have spoken that they are literally haunted by their victims. May not have been her illness... She would deserve no less.
One of the previous comments stated the cruelty of humans can be unfathomable. I would go a little further and say those human that often behave and portray the most cruel behavior are those that think they are better than others.
I hope she was terrified by her delusions.
delusions? maybe not.....
AND certainly her REAL LIFE EXPERIENCES. Those memories were probably somewhat responsible for her CRAZY, DELUTIONAL MIND. No sorrow for this WICKED ,MURDERING WITCH.
When that transmission was sent and a reply received liberation must have seemed so close yet still so far way. A further 72 hours in a death camp must have seemed a lifetime. Impossible to comprehend their state of mind...
Did matt berry voice this doc?
Thats a pure sadist and/or psychopath. Completely devoid of everything that makes us human. As some has commented before, these people always walk among us.
They just branch out and find their "meaning" in life in times like this. Sick!
I shed no tears for Ilse Koch !!!
