I've been to a few different camps trying to understand what they went through. I can't even begin to understand how they felt in these camps but i believe we should never let them be forgotten.
Tal vez se hayan sentido de la misma manera que los Boers cuando eran prisioneros de los ingleses siendo que éstos fueron los q los crearon...!!!😢
Looks like they are doing a good job preserving the history…. Those cards were in crazy shape. Beyond ridiculous what went on there and in other camps…so sad
I'm not sure if it's real but there is information indicating modern western women are less happy than female concentration camp prisoners which is incredible if true
How was the swimming pool?
@@toonstierney1170how was the swimming pool.... Where?
So what exactly is it about this video that baffles you?
I read a story about a woman whose job it was to sort the clothes. She would put on rags from the other prisoners & go to work. There she would exchange her clothing & shoes for better stuff & then go back to her place & give the new clothes to the other prisoners . She did this her entire stay so others would have good & warm clothes.
Very brave lady
My great-grandfather was a prisoner in KL Buchenwald. I found his documentation in archives and it said he was a political prisoner (after the Warsaw Uprising), but they kept him alive because he was a qualified metalworker. I must say, their archives are amazingly detailed. Pity it documents the oceans of suffering
Ironically and fortunately it’s something that brought a lot of them to justice. Those extremely organized records!
@@kittykat5197 true
My heart goes out to you and your family
My greatgrandfather was in the Wehrmacht 😮.
Where to look for archives
A registered nurse that I worked with in the 60s and early 70s had been a prisoner in one of the well-known camp. She got tears in her eyes when talking about getting a bag of potatoes for everyone to eat in there and what a treasure it was.. Nothing else, but a potato, but they had been so hungry with nothing to eat…. potatoes were gourmet to them. I can still see her talking about this and the horrible things that they went through. We must never forget.
That's what happens when supply chains are cut off from the invading armies. Pretty crazy they were even considered to be fed since they were all supposed to be exterminated anyway. Much different from the Russian Gulags.
Much worse is happening in Gaza,gone is gone, stop the current genocide happening as we speak
@@jannaedwards5219everyone was to be exterminated? Umm, no.
@Kloetenhenne I was being facetious. That's the false understanding, that the camps' sole purpose was to exterminate the prisoners. It can easily be disproven, but the narrative never changes.
@@jannaedwards5219tell that to the gazans
Thank you for bringing light to this and not letting this tragedy be forgotten
What does bribing mean😭🙏
@@carolslattery2534I think they probably meant bringing. Autocorrect can have a mind of its own at times.

Yes it's bribing 😂 trying to distract from the genocide going on in Palestine
Yes ...just like the Gazza strip ..🤔
Lots of my older ancestors went to concentration camps luckily my grandma didn’t and survived she wrote a book on her life she was 6 when it happened
Can you share the book's title and author please.
@@naomiwebber536 it’s called the second scar
also my grandma survived, she stopped breathing for 30 minutes then jumped out of a window and immobilized 3 guards
My great aunts and uncles suffered a similar fate in occupied Poland. My grandmother and grandfather met while fleeing Europe. I am incredibly lucky to be here.
@@magnusbrockman9623 we aren’t putting Palestinian people in camps. Hamas is a terrorist group that kidnapped Israelis. We didn’t start the fighting we had this land and my aunt who lives in Israel is a doctor. She calls my mom in the middle of the night(it’s day for us when she calls) she tells us about how she has to work with people who got raped and killed it’s devastating and I’m sure that whatever is happening to Palestinians is very devastating too. That’s the problem though I don’t want my family’s country to go through this and I don’t want anyone is Palestine to go through this but as someone’s family who’s from Israel that’s heard all the terrible story’s I haven’t really heard what’s been happening in Palestine
In high school, we were able to meet 2 camp survivors. It is one of my greatest moments of my life. Feel sad for future generations that will never be able to meet people that actually were there

How is this fake? @@ayoub1800
@@ayoub1800If this is supposedly fake history, what do you think happened?
Nah it's like it's forced in our throats
Those who don't learn history are doomed to repeat it.
We should not forget the Anglo Boer war in the 1900 between British and the Boers. Many women and children died in British concentration camps in South Africa during the second Anglo boer war. 24000 women and 3400 children died. If it was not for British English women Emily Hophouse more women and children would have died.
And they're conservative numbers, unfortunately winners are the ones who get to write the history books 🤷🏻

This breaks my heart
The film ' boy in the strips pajamas ' (slow start ... but....) a movie that really made me go whoa* and has never left my mind.
Amazing movie‼️
As soon as I read the name of the movie, I remembered the awful heartache. Beautifully told, so sad.
I'm haunted forever from that movie. What a horrifying time in history.
Reality check up indeed.😮
Yeah, I've watched it and it was very sad. I wonder if it's true, and, if that made his father, or anyone who authorized or participated in such terrible things, to think differently about what they were doing to people.
Here’s some more info I found on the meanings of the different color triangles:
Red triangle - political prisoners: social democrats, liberals, socialists, communists, anarchists, gentiles who assisted Jews; trade unionists and Freemasons
Green triangle - convicts and criminals (often working as kapos)
Blue triangle - foreign forced laborers and emigrants.
Purple triangle - primarily Jehovah’s Witnesses (over 99%) as well as members of other small pacifist religious groups.
Pink triangle - primarily homosexual men and those identified as such at the time (e.g., bisexual men, trans women) and sexual offenders as well as pedophiles and zoophiles.
Black triangle - people who were deemed asocial elements (asozial) and work-shy (arbeitsscheu), including Roma and Sinti.
& the green triangle capos were also German
Thank you for posting this.
wait why would they imprison socialists when they called themselves socialists? I thought they didn't like communists
What about Black people? I’m assuming Black triangle or Blue.
@@petertea2393since they weren't the focus of the Germans cleansing it was a "little" easier to be black. Sure you you had to deal with sterilization programs and the Nuremberg laws. The minimum of blacks that were sent to convention camps were at least 2 dozens, but there are several cases that they were allowed to join the Wehrmacht
It is also worth noting how the colour you wore could affect treatment by both guards and prisoners. In many cases those who wore pink triangles were persecuted by guards and prisoners alike. these people suffered one of the highest death rates in the camps by category. People charged under 175 were not allowed to access financial aid postwar unlike other survivors
I heard that pink triangles meant that the prisoners were homosexual, is that true? maybe that’s the reason they were treated so badly
@@4dx3nYes, that's true. Not necessarily on morals, but rather they wouldn't, couldn't re-populate the earth.
@@JDaLightskin your insecurity is showing
@@JDaLightskinif you are referring to the fact that homosexuals were persecuted in the camps, then that is awful, no one deserves to be treated as sub-human, no one, no matter religion beliefs, gender or sexuality

So amazing that these printed records survived. Thank you for helping these dead souls speak for themselves. Don't forget that prisoners had their numbers tattooed on their arms. This was a way of dehumanizing the prisoners, taking away their names, and turning them into mere numbers. I live in Canada and I have seen the arm tattoos of many people as I was growing up. I always had to fight back tears. I can't begin to imagine the horrors that these brave people endured. Yes, yellow for Jewish people, and pink for gays. NEVER AGAIN.
The numbers were a way to identify and track them. The system was developed and ran by IBM.

Absolutely true. Research the corporations and banks that helped them launder money. Prescott Bush the father to one president and grandfather to another was involved and had to pay out alot of money to avoid prosecution for helping them. It's a very interesting rabbit hole once you start looking into it.

I worked at a psych hospital in the late 90's. It was in westchester ny. We had some floridly psychotic patients come in, and one had a large amount of bugs on them. After delousing, i felt absolutely contaminated. I went to the mall and had my head shaved as i was going to meet up with a girl after work. When I came back, multiple dr s and social workers said i looked horribly intimidating. A dr who didn’t usually come in said, "he looks wonderdul, and you know who he is. Stop being obnoxious. With that, everyone was silent. I said thank you. She patted my leg and stood up. As she did for the dirst time, i noticed the tattoo on her arm. It was the dirst time i saw someone with a concentration camp tattoo. I have to admit. I nearly burst into tears. And im not a cry in public kind of cat.
Thank you 🙏 I thought it was just the yellow star. Very informative!!❤️
There were so many groups treated badly. An officers wife ended up in there. She was killed. They were ruthless.
Wow, that penciled picture at the end really hit home.
So horrible.
Thank you for this video This was Never taught to us...
Do you think that doesn’t happen now?
And now Israeli are doing same thing to Palestine
As you couldn't beat em back then...might as well learn from them and apply forward I guess
Also, a pink triangle to designate that a person was homosexual. Pink was worn by many men before WWII, but afterward the color was stigmatized and often still is today.
Which is absolutely stupid, because it used to be the „princes color“ (red for the king and light red for the prince).
I’m surprised they didn’t mention that in the video. I saw the pink triangle and was like, oh hey! That’s the thing!
So many lies about this time…. There isn’t one video or picture of a black guy in a camp, but they tell us HltLer hated anyone that didn’t have Blue eyes and Blonde hair 👱🏼♀️

My great-great-grandfather was actually a prisoner in this concentration camp for not wanting to fight in the war. He and his brother escaped from the frontlines but while his brother had the 'excuse' of marrying his wife, he himself didn't have enough reasons not to fight and was sent to Neuengamme. After the war, he died of a sickness he caught there. A few years ago I visited with my class and before that my grandma told me about this, makes the topic even heavier if you know your own family was affected.
@Daydreamcaged Thank you for sharing this with us!
Escaped the frontline? How wasn't he shot for desertion?
@@patta8388 he didn't escape literally right from the frontline, he escaped while he was supposed to be at the frontline, probably from the camp (I'm not sure what it's called in English, sorry)

Purple triangles were Jehovas Witneses
I felt like this was all pretty common and well-known information. It’s interesting to see all the commenters that are just learning about this
🤔 sometimes you can get old and forgetful. Esp if it never happened to you. Or maybe it was never told to that person before. While it was pretty common that they wore a Jewish star on them. Knowing they had taken others to the camps etc. I wouldn't have immediately known what or how they classified the rest. You learn as you go through life.
There will be MANY that don't know things related to this. Older generations maybe yes. The younger ones possibly not. The full extent of their crimes are not usually shown. The war was a long time ago.
Anything to do with these camps literally makes me feel physically sick. I find it so painful that humans treated other humans like they did.and then went home to their families and acted normal. And I’m not Jewish but I feel their pain.
I never knew there were so many different patches that could be worn. Great video.
Thank you for watching. Glad to educate on such a sad and sensitive topic.
Never forget, history Never repeat,God bless their souls
Other symbols not discussed in video - Circle under the triangle meant flight risk and line on top meant youre a multiple offender. If you had "relations" with a Jewish person youd get a triangle for that too

Those with pink triangles were likely persecuted by other prisoners, but never those who wore purple triangles, who always tried to be kind and supportive....as they could be anyway. Interesting because the Bible that they followed so stoically, condemmned homosexual acts. Acts, not the people.
