@@priscillamccain1626 in his case he had read a book by a guy called Irving who is a dishonest historian.I was born 1944 and saw a lot of stuff in papers and books, plus my parents knew two men who had liberated the camps. When I was very small I was introduced to a Jewish woman and saw her camp tattoo. This little fascist of a nephew tried to put me right!
Yes, thank you. I have a hard time concentrating sometimes and the music would have made it even harder ... Like when you're learning things in college, you don't want to hear music along with the professor teaching you, That would be distracting!!
I had to laugh at your comment. While in Budapest seven years ago, visiting the house of horrors, I entered the first room which showed the German soldiers marching to the sound of Jack boots. I asked the room guide/guard if it was possible, as I was the sole visitor, if the sound could be reduced as I couldn't hear the information on the headphones provided. I don't know how many guides/security people came in and asked me why. I politely informed them that my hearing was so bad that I couldn't hear the information due to the noise of the jack boots and if it was possible for just five minutes to lower the volume as I was the only visitor. In less than two minutes I was marched out and money fully refunded. I bet I was the only survivor from that house of horrors who received a full refund!
I used to do gardening for a old man who was a holocaust survivor, id mow his lawn and hed bring out tea and hed talk about his life and the terror of the camps. He had no relatives so hevwas pleased to have someone listen, lovely man and quite fascinating. Ill repeat that he had no family at all and sadly we all know why 😢
A Jewish friend had relatives in Europe and when it was all over, only 2 survived. I am not Jewish, but a goodly part of the family back in Europe was, and like my friend, the majority of them were murdered in the Holocaust.
My grandfather was a gaurd for a time he said at least at his camp it's wasn't as bad as you see it portrayed not many survived them so all these survivors coming out now were extremely suspicious
@@vladtheimpaler6really? So the guy who is guilty of participating in the one of the worst atrocities of human history said it wasn't as bad as it seems in an attempt to cover his own a** and paint his over all past in a brighter light than it deserves? Well I guess it objectively wasn't as bad as it has been portrayed and we owe the perpetrators a massive apology for decades of covering this which destroyed their apparently "not as bad as it seems" character.
Most of the Nazis prosecuted after the war served less than 10 years in prison. A lot of Cold War politics and shifting regimes somehow resulted in early releases. Unfortunately, they were then able to live out their lives as average citizens. And none of the Germans who escaped to South America were ever formally extradited. Eichmann was the only one and even he had to be covertly caught and taken to Israel without the Argentinean government's permission.
@@kathygrey1433 for sure you do because you are the good guys and by what the good guys all did the bad guys must have done so much worse, dont they? You know what happened in the "Rheinwiesenlager"? What did the bombing raids against German cities do for the war? Your compassionate Leaders knew its senseless slaughter without any effect but they did it anyway because you are so good and conpassionate...the germans we're tortured, their families thretened and forced into false confessions because you are so good and conpassionate but im not mad at you because you just dont know better but you should educate yourself about those topics...you need to stop living in Fantasy...there was no good guys in WW2, everyone did atrocities in the war, everyone did war crimes but these stories about the concentration camps are bs and there is literally no evidence to prove it and thats why you even cant question it in many european countries even today...they know If questions are allowed their Story falls apart as it did every single time when people asked hard questions...do you even know how often they had to "correct" the amount of dead in the camps and what was done there (soap, shrink heads and so on)?
This is better than most high budget doc's I've watched on WWII/Third Reich. Excellent job! I've read quite a bit about Treblinka but the images really help to better visualize this macabre camp.
Not true, Barbara; most predatory animals (like many humans) routinely begin tearing apart and begin eating their victims while those victims are still alive & fully awake & aware of their fate.
@@paulhandley3246and that's a true fact humans the most dangerous and sadistic animals that have ever existed its a insult to compare humans against the normal animals in the natural world of animals
It's just that some of the testimonies are so frightening that they kind of get forgotten. The cruelty is hard to believe. HOW can a human being torture another human being? They didn't consider the Prisoners Human. That's what it was. Atrocious is the word for this.
Human beings, as you perceive in your comment, cannot do such things; they were not human, not in any normal sense of the term. They were anything but human. I read the Bible seriously, and when Christ called those seeking his death 'you brood of vipers,' it points to something far more evil than most people are willing to accept. For myself, as a Christian, I cannot refer to the kind of 'things' that did this to people, as 'human.' That's a moniker applicable only to those created in God's image.
The worst part? The guards were ordinary people before the war. Watchmakers and tailors and farmers and factory workers. May God take mercy on all of us, so that we never find ourselves in their shoes.
Incredible video and audio story. Even with detailed and clear descriptions and explanations, it is just unimaginable to appreciate the sheer horror. This brings you closer to the reality of too many unfortunate lives at the hands of the powers that be, at this time. Worth listening. I am looking forward to more videos.
Thank you, Matt. Much appreciated, buddy. I have a nice long list of subjects to write about and a small backlog of finished scripts waiting to be recorded etc. watch this space….
New to the channel. Been binge watching. A really hard watch. But we should never forget the cruelty that these people endured. Thank you for posting these stories. Should be mandatory viewing in schools.
@@TheCarin12 Why? I don't understand, please explain. I can assure you, SS have never been thanked in Denmark. Perhaps it's different because we were occupied by the Nazi's. We hated them, but not the Germans.
Not at all, its always gone on. The Anglo Saxons would stake out their enemies and 'quarter' them, which involved pulling the entrails of a living man out. The Afghans fighting the British in the 19th century would castrate their victims and put their cocks in their mouths. Some Native American tribes scalped enemies, others they buried up to their heads in the path of ants... in Japan one punishment was to immobilize a man in a bamboo grove, he would die slowly pierced by razor sharp bamboo shoots as he lay there. These are just a few examples that should demonstrate barbarism has never been that far from the surface.
Thank you so much for making this video. I had obviously heard of Treblinka, but not really known too much about it. I visited Auschwitz and Birkenau a few years ago, feeling it was 'something I hade to do' even though I am not Jewish. I felt I owed it to the Jewish people who perished there. How the surviving SS men could dismiss their actions as 'just doing their job' is mind blowing. These hideous 'happenings' must NEVER be forgotten, and how anyone could deny such atrocities is beyond me. Thank you again, such an informative video, made with such detail - Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I also felt I had a duty to learn about atrocities like this. Alexandr Solzhenitzyn (Soviet Gulag prisoner and later dissident) wrote that most of the West is ignorant of Treblinka, because we did not liberate it as we did with Dachau. Treblinka was closed before any army could arrive, simply because they'd already succeeded in killing everyone. We have hundreds if not thousands of stories from Dachau or Auschwitz, but Treblinka is silent because almost no one survived. Belzec is even worse (not by numbers of victims, but by numbers of survivors), with only one person surviving to write about it.
I rarely comment on UA-cam videos but this needed one. Absolutely fantastic video, I learnt a huge amount & it was fascinating. Thank you very much, keep up the good work (also brilliant video on Sutcliffe). Your videos should have far more views.
Thank you very much. Well, the channel is very young at the moment but every contribution such as yours really helps drive the growth. It is HIGHLY appreciated that so many people are taking the time to give their input and support.
What its more terrible/upseting, is the fact that most of the killers got away with their crimes, for whatever reason, and lived long normal lives, like Ivan🤷♂️
@@snidelywhiplash they are dead, but that didn’t stop them from building empires as free men before they died. I think what he said went over ya a little bit or something.
Thank you for this documentary of Treblinka. My grandfather, Witold Józef Zamaro, was almost 17 when he was taken from his home in Vilnius, Lithuania, and brought to work in the labor camp of Treblinka. I don't know how long he was there before being taken to Berlin for indoctrination, then taken to Norway to be a chauffeur for a Nazi SS officers engineer. He was there until a year before the end of the war when at a Nazi officer retreat, allied forces broke in and rescued him and others. He assisted the Americans as an informant, but never was recognized for his services. I'm in the process of trying to locate as many documents as I can to write a book.
I had a neighbor in Texas where we all was stationed and she had the Tattoo of her number on her Left arm. She said it will always be there. She never did find any of her family. My dad side of the family some made it out and went to Chicago. He found out that the older families did not. Rest in peace 🙏🙏🕊️🕊️.
My father was an engineer who worked in Germany for a few years in the 70s (a La Auf Wiedersehen pet) and he often mentioned the Treblinka and Sobibor camps. Which at the time weren’t as well known as Auschwitz. I think while he was there he visited and tried to educate himself as much as possible about the horrific things that happened in those camps. It stayed with him for life.
I don't get it, if he worked in Germany in 70's, he most probably worked in Western Germany. There was a iron curtain between the Eastern and western blocks. Treblinka and Sobibor are in Poland, which was part of the Eastern block. So he worked in Eastern Germany and traveled to Poland in 70s just to see death camps set up by germans??? Never mind traveling from western germany to Poland - he'd be at least put on trial as a spy, most probably shot on the spot. I have problem adding this up and it sounds like a very interesting story, could you share more?
This documentary is EXCELLENT! The material is organized, well-researched and the narrator has a pleasant voice, he is easy to listen to. I also appreciate his recognition of Dr Mark Felton’s excellent work.
Excellent documentary. Well, written, well researched and well read. I knew very little about Treblinka before. Many thanks. I’ve subscribed to your channel.
It's taken me years to get anywhere near understanding it even slightly! It was state sponsored and supposed to be secret but everyone in Poland knew what was happening as did the allies
well, he wanted it to be "clean" but did not want to see/do it himself....a typical coward.....by the way Ukrainians were the main killers in the concentration camps. They were saved by your country. So who supported the nazis? Well....
@@Clint52279 Yes, I'm aware. I was just stating that Himmler, one of the most brutal and hardcore members of the Nazi hierarchy who believed to his very core that the mass extermination of a group of people in his mind was right. Found mass killings disgusting. Beyond comprehension.
It's part of history and this documentary helps keep the history alive. If I remember correctly there is a blogger on UA-camr was traveling through Russia and Eastern Europe and was looking for history of gulags from the Stalin era. If my memory serves me correct there is only one museum left and very little to no real history still alive. I believe that documentaries like this shed a light to no only the horror but also the deep analysis of how it happened and also show the reality of history.
It is hard to believe that there are people on this earth who could carry out the actions of cruelty and even enjoy their task and then could go home to a wife and children shedding their day time job.
Most of the Action Reinhard staff did not bring their familes to rural Poland with them. The region was lightly populated and under pressure from Polish partisans. As such families were a liability, no place to educate children or to gain things needed for healthy family life. Auschwitz was different - there was and still is the Commandant's house, which is right next to Camp 1. Staff were forbidden to discuss their work with their families. Instead they were awarded leave of absences to spend time with their families. Stangl commented that he could not discuss things with his wife. One of Stangl's deputies, while drunk, told her what her husband was doing. He had to deflect her questions. Stangl discussed his life with Gitta Sereny, who compiled his admissions into the book "Into That Darkness". She has recorded interviews about Stangl which you can see here.
My comment to the poster. "What's going on mate? What happened to the 800,000 buried, then and dug back up and burned Why are you changing the official story about the pits?" Go look up the official story yourself. Then take a step back and do some physics, math, chemistry. Summat doesn't add up.
I just watched the story of Samuel Willenberg, it was amazing. He was one who escaped during the uprising and at the time of his interview was the last surviving prisoner.
Well, I’m not sure he would be aware of my work. I would like to think so but I am but a very small fish, I didn’t even go to Uni! That guy has a doctorate!!! 🫡 I do look up to him a most preeminent figure of the historian world.
I've seen a large % of any material saved I feel like. But a lot of these photos, like the ones that show the path through the woods, just gave me chills up my spine. This doc was very well made. It always amazes me once the war was over how many "were just doing their jobs. Took no pleasure in it", yet were so next-level cruel and evil. Same exact song and dance from almost all of them who were caught.
@@SigKyle-pm4fb oh I know but there's just so much trauma there we'll go but it's just so sad that's something we should never forget and I will probably go thank you for posting have an excellent day
kapos were inmates from all sorts of ethnic groups and they were often more brutal than the guards. I highly recommend the book "Det angår også deg" ("It concerns you too") by Herman Sachnowitz. I listened to the audiobook and it was quite heart-rending
I just subscribed to your channel. Thank you. Your stories are so important. And, above all, you just tell the story. No music, no frenetic sound effects,… What a relief. Great job! Keep up the good work.
Excellent narration. Try this one Jacqueline if you haven't seen it ua-cam.com/video/SsGNUn-WI5c/v-deo.html Visually it's amazing & the narration is top class as well.
DISCLAIMER: The images used in this video are for illustrative purposes only. They are not meant to accurately depict every single point being made or explained but are the best representation of them, given my limited resources. A lot of the time, the perfect photograph simply doesn't exist, and so I have to make do with what I can get hold of. Please keep this in mind before commenting. CORRECTIONS: I have subsequently learned that the word “geldjuden” is more accurately translated as “money Jews” rather than “gold Jews”. I made the mistake of referring Eliyahu Rosenberg as a female. I had not encountered this name ever before but made the mistaken assumption that it was a feminine name. My sincere apologies. ______________ Any comments attempting to deny the Holocaust will be instantly removed. So, don’t bother wasting your time. It definitely happened and that’s that!
Thank you for taking the time to go through comments made under your video, comments made on other youtube videos dismissing or disclaiming this horrific piece of history can be quite distressing, thank you also for taking the time to explain anything you may have found you have accidently mistaken, not being from europe or that side of the world, we didnt learn as much as we should have about this part of world war 2, being Australian we learnt more about the war happening here in the pacific at the time. Being able to learn about the less spoken about camps and parts of the holocaust is much appreciated. As distressing, soul crushing as it is, the world need to learn, know and remember in the hopes it is never repeated, the victims and survivors deserve to be remembered, deserve for us to know there stories and deserve the utmost respect while we do so ❤️🙏💔
Just a little advice. Don't use generic transitions between images, it can cheapen the impact of the video's content. Much better to do hard cuts, or simple fades between images.
I saw a group of scientists who at Treblinka they had some different things that were also used at most crime scenes they did one to see if anything human could be found among the dirt ground and such. Normally it would turn pink if there was. And it turned red showing that not only was there human ash but so much of it that it was as if the whole ground were more human than dirt.
Same at Birkenau, roughly translated Birchwood. The birds still sing there, the absence of nature at these sites is a myth as is the frankly stupid belief that ghosts inhabit them. The ghosts are the survivors. Unfortunately Auschwitz is now a tourist hotspot which causes controversy.
I tried everywhere I could think of to find a picture of the commandant of Treblinka 1 too but had no luck. Happy to have read that the partisans got him.
Brilliant production. Just brilliant. I'm on my second watching, and will rewatch as often as necessary so that I absorb everything you've presented. This is my first exposure to your channel. Liked and subscribed, and will be enthusiastically having a look at your other work. Thank you!
@@enokinnokenti5649 Sure I can, science says that I'm correct. Just read the Rudolph Report and the Leuchter Report. Forensic testing says the official narrative is one big lie. Where's your science????
Forget the deniers they barley finished school and are missing some serious social skills. Same goes for fiat earthers and the anti vaccine and anti moon landing conspiracy they basically all believe in all the above you will never convince them otherwise they are way to stupid
Nothing new here, but the way it's presented, covering all bases and all within 44 minutes, makes this unique. It was too ghastly to watch in one go, but thanks a lot. Great contribution.
Aye, I think the bases had already been covered, as with a lot of things but I try to bring the patchwork of info from all other sources under one roof, so to speak. Thank you for watching, I know it’s a heavy going subject but it’s worth it in the finish.
I really enjoyed this. The narration is first class & obviously well documented. I'm looking forward to binge watching.....pretty sure the numbers of subscribers will rise too. It kind of reminds me of the 'World at War' do umentaries that were narrated by Lawrance Olivier.
@@DiD86My pleasure! You do have that vibe. You must've been told you have a great voice for narration or voice over type work. Anyway, I'm glad I found your channel & wish you all the best 🙂
@@JordanOrlando Yer, look up the meaning of the word 'enjoy'.....it does not mean one fas to have party or is extremely happy. I enjoyed it because of the things I stated. See ya, kiddo. ; )
The Wansee House is ridiculously beautiful. Stark contrast to the decisions made within. I was fortunate enough to do a Berlin trip with school in secondary school. I was able to see a great many incredible and significant places, museums and memorials. But after all these years, two places have stuck with me the most. A medical building at Sachsenhausen and the main room in the Wansee House. If you have opportunity to go to Wansee House or take a virtual tour, I much recommend it.
I fully intend to do a bit of European tour (for research for the channel) at some point but the channel will grow quite a bit before that’s a realistic possibility. Fingers crossed. 😇
It belonged to a Jewish financier and was confiscated by the Gestapo. It was only used for a single conference then I believe it became a rest home for injured veterans. I think the financier was deported to Theresienstadt and on to Auschwitz where he perished. His name I cannot recall. Alan Heath does a good slot on YT about Wannsee. It's in a very beautiful setting in suburban Berlin and remains a museum and memorial.
Eliahu Rosenberg one of few survivors of Treblinka said the gas from the engines was smoke wasn't a clear gas. During the John Demjanjuk trial who was accused of being the man who ran the gas chamber he would pour oil into the engine to make it smoke more. I believe it was a diesel engine taken from a Soviet Tank. You could only imagine how much smoke this engine produced. He said the victims suffered a terrible death wasn't quick took over 20 minutes. You also forgot to mention that after the bodies were removed, they were hauled to a pile where "Dentist" would yank out any gold that was found in the mouths of victims.
Yes, exhaust fumes are indeed visible but the gas within it that did the deed, the active ingredient, if you will is invisible. And yes, I did indeed forget to mention the teeth. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. 👍🏻
Elihau Rosenberg is the man that POSITIVITY identify John demjanuk as Ivan the terrible in 1986 Israel trial,but it turns out that he signed a affidavit in 1947 saying Ivan the terrible was killed and he witness his death......
My grandfather lost his entire family by the nazis. He remarried and started again in South America. The only evidence of his prior life were photos. One of those was a picture of his 5-year-old daughter. On the back of it has something written in Polish and it was dated Auschwitz, 1940. My father still has the photo, but I never asked him what she wrote.
Very interesting and informative. I have read accounts of Treblinka and Sobibor using Chlorine and sand to burn bodies, as scientifically this would burn the hottest for the greatest length of time very efficiently. Did any of your sources mention the science and chemistry behind first hand accounts?? Thanks.
Shoah should be compulsory viewing for the whole world. It is a unique documentary and unfortunately Lanzmann and his team had to cut it down for general release. However we have those outtakes/B roll available and they are well worth tracking down and watching. They reveal even more about the subject. Shoah helped propel niche history to the wider audience. The team that made it often put their own lives at risk to capture what they did. Essential documentation in a class all of it's own 🎥
This sounds like you are referring to experiments with all kinds of chemicals conducted in the early stages of the Shoah. The Einsatzgruppen, Kriminalpolizei and various disposal experts such as Widmann, Blobel, With et al spring to mind. If you can watch Amen (2004 I believe) which dramatises Kurt Gerstein's account of the various experiments which reached the allies via the Vatican. Hard to find sadly but worth it. Chelmno and Belzec were the T4/Reinhard labarotories (pardon the expression). Alan Heath presents meticulous docs about this on YT. You might find more info there
This is a REALLY GREAT DOCUMENTARY! I respect all the time it must have taken to research a.this material. It's written and presented really well. Thanks alot! I'm looking forward to more of your videos.
To this day my heart skips a beat whenever I hear "Wannsee" in association with WW2 as it is my home"town". I live pretty close to the house of conference too. It's simply unimaginable what these monsters once decided in this quiet part of the city.
@@renejean2523 Yes, I've actually seen the German one during my time at high school. It was a ride emotionally, I'll admit that. If you ever happen to be around Berlin, I strongly recommend visiting the villa. It's horrifying, but it reminds us of what happened- and what should never happen again.
Thank you, I'm afraid I haven't been able to finish watching the video as the content is more than I can emotionally bear at the moment, but I really appreciate your work. Hopefully subscribing and commenting will help your work be found by others.
I understand. I'm currently writing a script about the Aberfan disaster and I have found the subject matter quite overwhelming, expecially becaus eit mostly involves children. I have had to come away from it and jump onto other scripts on more than one occasion, so that project has taken a lot longer than the more recent ones.
@@devondetroit2529 It is not a matter of emotional weakness but compassion and empathy. Also, one needs to be aware of the depths to which humanity can sink as well as the heights to which it can rise. Why? Well to quote the American philosopher, George Santayana, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it". We must always be on guard to prevent the likes of Treblinka ever happening again.
My heart goes out to you, im sorry this video and or similar one's have such a deep effect on you, i hope you find some peace within such turmoil ❤️🙏❤️
I'm also aware of the artist who did the drawing of Treblinka show at the timestamp 1:22. His name Samuel Willenberg and he's quite a good artist. He was one of only 86 people who survived Treblinka out of a total of about 900,000 people. I first heard about this place when I was only 13 years old and I'm now 20 years old. One thought of mine has never changed during that time. How can someone commit such a horrible crime and still be able to live with themselves afterward? That's is something I've never truly understood.
Thank you! Not bad for someone who doesn’t speak German at all! 😂😂😂 But I learned how to read it aloud and the rules of how it is structured, so I can fake it quite effectively. 😂 Thanks again for your support!
What you give you get back, nazi did it and they are destroyed, now it come to Jews. they are doing the same mistake to implement the genocide to Palestine people. They just repeat the history. Same mistake and same ending. #freepalestine
I have a Jewish friend who lost all four of her grandparents in concentration camps. Fortunately, her parents, who were just children at the time, had been sent overseas to safety. One to the UK, one to America.
My folks on my mother's side appear to have been Lithuanian Tatars and if they hadn't gotten out in the 1880s or so, would no doubt have been vacuumed up and killed. Too brown and all that.
My mother-in- law was being held by her mother and was pulled away from her mother, she saw her mother go into the gas chamber is so sad and she was just a kid and she found another kid it was a hard life Wow the stories they tell but they stowed away on a ship and made it to Canada. I can't believe people tonight is I just wow
But when you consider the fact that virtually EVERY American slave owner got away with much worse, and for a far longer time period, it should become easier to understand.
Aptly named channel, this is truly a descent into the darkness of human bestiality. Very interesting to hear the justifications they offered, such as "just doing my job, I had no choice" We could also feel your emotional difficulty in narrating those horrors, but the truth must always be told in order to set us free from lies.
We hope the younger generation take the good advice of the narrators words 'we should never allow this to happen again'...Its up to them and documentry makers and historians to do there part and for this we thank you for the rendering of an history thats so terrble in its telling but so important that you do...Thanks!
Thanks...Please do keep posting these documentaries as it's important not only from an historical perspective as you've clearly done the hardwork and the research such as your facts are straight but do this for the sakes of all the innocent victims because those victims include even today's entire mass of humanity...
@@ericjarvieUnfortunately, California hasn't learned that lesson; back before the turn of the century, a governor committed crimes against humanity by installing lethal electric fences around the prisons. Since the existence of such fences is an element of the Nazi holocaust, their existence constitutes a crime against humanity. Another holocaust element are the blanket condemnations against sex offenders; the sex offender laws do absolutely NOTHING to protect society or its children, but instead serve as a clever cover for the future extermination of the Jews of the western hemisphere. As Jews were required to renew their Stars of David annually, sex offenders are also required to renew their registration annually. The connection to Jews being "sex offenders" will be made thru a scripture in the Talmud: 2nd Chronicles chapter 8, verses 7 and 8, mention "forced labor" which will be construed by the powers that'll be to mean "grooming", "trafficking", "molestation", "prostitution", etc., and the Jews will be punished as such. In prisons today, Jewish inmates cannot be placed with the white inmates although most Jews share the same skin color; most sites in prison belong to some white supremacists gang, and such gangs have a history of being virulently anti-Semitic. This leaves only ONE placement option: Protective Custody (PC). In California prisons, the PC and Admistrative Segregation (AdSeg) are very close together, often occupying the same building and even sharing the exact same yard facilities. In one medium-to-maximun facility, the two units are separated by just ONE thin steel siding door! Other states have such sections separated by as much distance as is practicable! Just think of what'll happen if both sections were to be released to the yard simultaneously; what would take place are the Ustachi-like mass slaughters I mentioned earlier.
“Nothing of that which is human is foreign to me” And this chapter of history demonstrates what Man is truly capable of. And so we have a duty of memory and vigilance
There are several movies about the Wannsee Conference. There is the HBO movie "Conspiracy", with Kenneth Bragnaugh, Colin Firth and Peter Toochi as well as numerous other excellent British actors. There is the 1984 German TV movie, "The Wannsee Conference", which although it's in German with English subtitles, seems the more accurate depiction of certain historical figures involved. A much more recent movie is out there but only in German language and I forgot the name.
Incredible narration, calm but nuanced. The right way to educate all who need to know this. Do not worry, none of this will ever disappear from the human record 🙏😞
Yeah no I can't deny it anymore. I've become greatly enamored with your content, I save you for last whenever I binge documentaries on heinous events on history so that the information can sink in. I'm following, keep up the damn good work.
I appreciate this very much. As someone adopted into a convert family (some of the family converted to Christianity, while the rest remained Jewish. I'm sure many of those in Europe were murdered in the Holocaust), I found your presentation very respectful without being sensationalistic. But I carry Roma heritage, so this was extra personal. Thank you for keeping the memories of these innocent victims alive.
a good watch, though difficult, Claude Lanzman's Shoah, there is an interview done in secret w/ a Franz Suchomel who was commissioned to work in Treblinka as an SS officer. I still remember his account where he did in fact admit he did initially suffer from the realization that he was in a death camp. So he says in the interview. However, a very gripping part of the film with his description of attempting to halt further transport since there were too many 'Leichen' corpses and the subsequent horror of dealing with a pit of rotting dead.
The photograph shown at 20:34 is an extremely rare picture taken on the Umschlagplatz in the Warsaw Ghetto. Many forget that the Trawniki Guards also worked within the Ghetto itself, and after filling rail cars at the Umschlagplatz, they would ride on top of the cars taking Jews to Treblinka. They were notorious for randomly shooting their rifles through the roofs of the train cars and killing people for no reason other than their hatred of the people they were transporting to the death camp.
They were referred to as Hell Dogs that ones that rode the trains. There is a very good photo, maybe 'good' isn't that best word to describe it but it shows very clearly a Trawniki man on transport duty taken by a Wehrmacht soldier passing through Bialystok I believe in 1942. It's in Gotta Sereny's haunting Into that Darkness. Highly recommended. If not it's probably in the Holocaust Research Museum's photo library if you Google it. The Jews that are getting into the cattle cars are literally packed in there with children on their parents shoulders, malnourished and dressed in rags. Lord, the inhumanity of these events is off the scale. Never again, never!!!
@The Richest Man In Babylon Oh so it depends on how you kill millions of people when you speak of a crime against humanity? Hmmm well, if this is your standard then the british are nice innocent people.
Excuse me, I'm a former MP way back in the year 1960, a very long time ago, when I was 17 years old. Now, at 80 years I'm still KICKING IT! But the Grace Love of God! That's all 4 now. Take Care & Stay Safe! Michael
Thank you for this very important documentary. I've bought some fabulous books over the last 6 months. I've learnt so much by reading them. Your docume
My mother had a family member who died in the camps ,I know this terrible thing happened, no one else I pray this will happen to,may they all rest inpeace
The R camps were set up in areas where the railroad track styles changed. The USSR used broader gauge railway tracks than the rest of Europe, so the same trains could not be used to travel into the USSR. That's why they had to stop by these 3 camps which were close to the borders and that's why Himm wrote to Pol in the summer of 43 saying that the Transit Camp of Sob has to be converted into a concentration camp tor dismantling enemy weapons.
Treblinka wasn't a relocation camp, it wasn't a concentration camp, and had nothing to do with Soviet weapons. It existed for one purpose, murdering J*ws.
Very important video. The soldier from photo at 7:16 is from 1 World War and is experiencing shell shock. Those nazi who shot countless victims may have suffer similar psychological disorders. Nazi knew that. That's why gas chambers and burning furnaces for inmates were created.
Exactly. Unfortunately there wasn’t a perfect photo of a German WW2 soldier with shell shock so I had to go with that one instead but it illustrates the point nicely.
As my father used to comment, "only man is vile". Now I know how true this is. My brother in law was a Czech jew and lost all his family in the Holocaust. He was the best brother in law any one could wish for. I will never forgive the Germans for denying me the opportunity to meet his family!
"Only man is vile" ? makes no fkn sense 😆 Clearly your old man wasn't into nature much. If he had studied ecology in school or gone to the zoo, he would have witnessed how vile the non human animal species are. Ex. When parents kill a weak offspring. Humans are the only species that has evolved around supporting the weak via support structures and collective effort. Also, there's Cannibalism...a practice common with most species. Yet again, only humans have progressed to the point where the majority view it as Taboo or Deranged to eat another person. And Territorality>> Lions will kill the cubs of a lioness if they threaten their place in the pride, tho temporary it may be. Few humans are psychotic enough that they are gonna murder kids over short-term relations. Those that do are the ones that end up in a Criminal Minds episode
@@tancreddehauteville764 It is really that simple. Learn history, learn why, then the we can try to keep it from happening. Not forever unfortunately. Here in the US their is a far left group doing just what the "brown shirts" did. And they think its ok, and that they will be able to do it right. idiots.
When I was about 14 a maths teacher gave us a talk. This was prompted by someone jokingly snapping their heels together and giving a nazi salute. Miss Lee gave an explanation of a number tattooed on her arm and how she survived a concentration camp at the end of WW2 aged 18. What a lovely sunny day with the pleasure to know that my teacher survived. I loved the maths lessons but her story was more important.❤❤❤❤❤Miss Lee❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
They should show all the Documentaries I watched on A & E, in Germany. Born in 1959 in Germany, I can tell you that nothing like that was shown in Germany. No words can compare the horror that took place, back then. The Devil wanted to come back to earth and he almost succeeded !!!
It is mind blowing that Germany has the gall to once again send tanks east to kill Russians as in WW2. It is obvious Germany did not learn an important lesson. It will, once again, not work out well for Germany. Rise up before it is too late, Germans!
Interesting including the song's key. Having them sing in the enervating and melancholic D min would've been a bridge too far. The more sensible and euphonious Dmaj was a certain relief.
Thank you for this video. Eye-opening truly disgusting what happened in the past but the story needs to be continually told so it can be never forgotten so it never happens again.
Thank you for one of the ONLY in depth explanation of Treblinka. This terrible death camp gets practically no coverage by scholars, only wish some original photos could be found like the ones recently of sobibor. Finally heard about some of the treblinka guards, hope at least some of them died in prison. Where are the trail transcripts from Dusseldorf trial 1965? Want to read for ourselves what the guards testified in court, how could they kill innocent people day after day? How could they take the stench of the dead getting in their clothing, hair, hands etc?.
Doesn’t bare thinking about how people could do such things. I’ll be covering Sobibor soon enough. Hoping to hop over to Poland in the Summer and do some on-site research for Auschwitz & Majdanek. Glad you enjoyed. Thank you for your support. 😁👍🏻
@@DiD86 went to Birkenau, Plaszow, and Belzec when I was in Poland last year. Definitely thought I knew alot about the Holocaust but I did not have the perspective that I thought I did
Treblinka has been covered by many a scholar if you look for it. It's just that Auschwitz grabs all the attention as most of it you can still visit etc.
It's truly tragic and not really that far back in time. I'm sure the people alive at the time thought they were a part of an advanced society where atrocities such as this would not be carried out. 😔
Randy Meisner the king of the high-voice - F sharp 5 performance! I used to (and STILL do) listen to this same performance at least 4 times a week. It just makes me feel better when life has been particularly mean to me during the course of a day. Sometimes all of the days attack at once and I end up feeling beaten down by it. Randy has never failed to be my lifeline. His voice is so calm and soothing when he sings. The treatment he endured toward the end of his involvement with the Eagles, especially with Glenn Frye, he deserved a lot better than he got. I pray I will meet him in Heaven and listen to him sing all day long. ❤️🐈
Whilst I agree on the highly accurate appraisal of the Eagles bassist, (I’m a big Eagles fan, myself) but I’m a little confused as to what inspired the comment? 😅
There unfortunately isn't much on Von Eupen. He was allegedly of Dutch origin and zealous in how he ran T1. Nothing more is known. Eberl hanged himself in custody after returning to practice as a psychiatrist. Stangl and Franz, well they are well known about. I don't think there are any survivors still living. Great compassionate documentary as we have to come to expect from D I D. Thank you for your efforts. This history lesson needs to be taught most definitely.
There's plenty on Goeth if you hunt for it. You can even watch his execution. I'd try for a film titled 'inheritance' where his daughter confronts her inheritance. You can really feel for her in the film
Dear DiD, I have kept my promise and watched the whole video. May all the Higher Powers of the Universe, what or whoever they may be, forgive mankind for these horrors.
I’m glad you were able to gather the strength to watch it. Not just for the obvious benefits to myself but I feel the story deserves to be heard. We can only hope one day mankind will learn. As the international Holocaust Memorial centre says, NEVER AGAIN!
Thankyou for this. I have a nephew who denies this happened. I don't speak to him anymore. Anyone who denies this should be shown this awful proof.
Perhaps instead of shunning him show him better information so he can alter his thinking in line with reality

Well, the sound itself. The words are more uneasy.

Yes, I love this too.
Yes thank you for omitting the music
I had to laugh at your comment. While in Budapest seven years ago, visiting the house of horrors, I entered the first room which showed the German soldiers marching to the sound of Jack boots. I asked the room guide/guard if it was possible, as I was the sole visitor, if the sound could be reduced as I couldn't hear the information on the headphones provided. I don't know how many guides/security people came in and asked me why. I politely informed them that my hearing was so bad that I couldn't hear the information due to the noise of the jack boots and if it was possible for just five minutes to lower the volume as I was the only visitor. In less than two minutes I was marched out and money fully refunded. I bet I was the only survivor from that house of horrors who received a full refund!
I used to do gardening for a old man who was a holocaust survivor, id mow his lawn and hed bring out tea and hed talk about his life and the terror of the camps.
He had no relatives so hevwas pleased to have someone listen, lovely man and quite fascinating.
Ill repeat that he had no family at all and sadly we all know why 😢
That’s a nice thing you did for him. 😇
A Jewish friend had relatives in Europe and when it was all over, only 2 survived. I am not Jewish, but a goodly part of the family back in Europe was, and like my friend, the majority of them were murdered in the Holocaust.
My grandfather was a gaurd for a time he said at least at his camp it's wasn't as bad as you see it portrayed not many survived them so all these survivors coming out now were extremely suspicious
@@vladtheimpaler6really? So the guy who is guilty of participating in the one of the worst atrocities of human history said it wasn't as bad as it seems in an attempt to cover his own a** and paint his over all past in a brighter light than it deserves? Well I guess it objectively wasn't as bad as it has been portrayed and we owe the perpetrators a massive apology for decades of covering this which destroyed their apparently "not as bad as it seems" character.

Nazi murderers released from prison on compassionate grounds? This has to be the greatest oxymoron decision of the millennium!
Makes you wonder what really happened.
zionist murdering nazis dont even go to prison.
Most of the Nazis prosecuted after the war served less than 10 years in prison. A lot of Cold War politics and shifting regimes somehow resulted in early releases. Unfortunately, they were then able to live out their lives as average citizens.
And none of the Germans who escaped to South America were ever formally extradited. Eichmann was the only one and even he had to be covertly caught and taken to Israel without the Argentinean government's permission.
That's because we are not the same as them, we actually have compassion.
@@kathygrey1433 for sure you do because you are the good guys and by what the good guys all did the bad guys must have done so much worse, dont they? You know what happened in the "Rheinwiesenlager"? What did the bombing raids against German cities do for the war? Your compassionate Leaders knew its senseless slaughter without any effect but they did it anyway because you are so good and conpassionate...the germans we're tortured, their families thretened and forced into false confessions because you are so good and conpassionate but im not mad at you because you just dont know better but you should educate yourself about those topics...you need to stop living in Fantasy...there was no good guys in WW2, everyone did atrocities in the war, everyone did war crimes but these stories about the concentration camps are bs and there is literally no evidence to prove it and thats why you even cant question it in many european countries even today...they know If questions are allowed their Story falls apart as it did every single time when people asked hard questions...do you even know how often they had to "correct" the amount of dead in the camps and what was done there (soap, shrink heads and so on)?
This is better than most high budget doc's I've watched on WWII/Third Reich. Excellent job!
I've read quite a bit about Treblinka but the images really help to better visualize this macabre camp.

Not true, Barbara; most predatory animals (like many humans) routinely begin tearing apart and begin eating their victims while those victims are still alive & fully awake & aware of their fate.

@@paulhandley3246and that's a true fact humans the most dangerous and sadistic animals that have ever existed its a insult to compare humans against the normal animals in the natural world of animals
It's just that some of the testimonies are so frightening that they kind of get forgotten. The cruelty is hard to believe. HOW can a human being torture another human being? They didn't consider the Prisoners Human. That's what it was. Atrocious is the word for this.
Yes, it really worries me to think that such people could easily be walking amongst us and we’d never known until it is too late!
They would tell their dogs “man! Get the dog!” With the dog being the human and the man being the dog
No, God gives the justice for those who murder.
No one escapes.
Human beings, as you perceive in your comment, cannot do such things; they were not human, not in any normal sense of the term. They were anything but human. I read the Bible seriously, and when Christ called those seeking his death 'you brood of vipers,' it points to something far more evil than most people are willing to accept. For myself, as a Christian, I cannot refer to the kind of 'things' that did this to people, as 'human.' That's a moniker applicable only to those created in God's image.
The worst part? The guards were ordinary people before the war. Watchmakers and tailors and farmers and factory workers. May God take mercy on all of us, so that we never find ourselves in their shoes.
Incredible video and audio story. Even with detailed and clear descriptions and explanations, it is just unimaginable to appreciate the sheer horror. This brings you closer to the reality of too many unfortunate lives at the hands of the powers that be, at this time. Worth listening. I am looking forward to more videos.

Hard to believe that man is capable of such things. Man has definitely fallen since his inception.
It seems to be a thing with the genus homo, going back millions of years, way before homo sapiens.
The nazis didn't invent mass murder we've been doing it all along.
Not at all, its always gone on. The Anglo Saxons would stake out their enemies and 'quarter' them, which involved pulling the entrails of a living man out. The Afghans fighting the British in the 19th century would castrate their victims and put their cocks in their mouths. Some Native American tribes scalped enemies, others they buried up to their heads in the path of ants... in Japan one punishment was to immobilize a man in a bamboo grove, he would die slowly pierced by razor sharp bamboo shoots as he lay there. These are just a few examples that should demonstrate barbarism has never been that far from the surface.
this video should be viewed in schools around the world. well done! narration was flawless.
Thank you so much for making this video. I had obviously heard of Treblinka, but not really known too much about it. I visited Auschwitz and Birkenau a few years ago, feeling it was 'something I hade to do' even though I am not Jewish. I felt I owed it to the Jewish people who perished there. How the surviving SS men could dismiss their actions as 'just doing their job' is mind blowing. These hideous 'happenings' must NEVER be forgotten, and how anyone could deny such atrocities is beyond me. Thank you again, such an informative video, made with such detail - Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you for those kind words. 😇
I also felt I had a duty to learn about atrocities like this. Alexandr Solzhenitzyn (Soviet Gulag prisoner and later dissident) wrote that most of the West is ignorant of Treblinka, because we did not liberate it as we did with Dachau. Treblinka was closed before any army could arrive, simply because they'd already succeeded in killing everyone. We have hundreds if not thousands of stories from Dachau or Auschwitz, but Treblinka is silent because almost no one survived. Belzec is even worse (not by numbers of victims, but by numbers of survivors), with only one person surviving to write about it.
There is no "jewish people", but the nazis and sionazis agree with you.
"Doing there job" failed as a defense at Nuremburg and other trials.
-despite the fact that these men had largely had their humanity conditioned out of them. The insanity defense did not exist then.
I rarely comment on UA-cam videos but this needed one. Absolutely fantastic video, I learnt a huge amount & it was fascinating. Thank you very much, keep up the good work (also brilliant video on Sutcliffe). Your videos should have far more views.
Thank you very much.

I knew an escape attempt had occurred at Sobibor but didn’t realise a similar attempt happened at Treblinka. Thanks for that x

Thank you for this documentary of Treblinka. My grandfather, Witold Józef Zamaro, was almost 17 when he was taken from his home in Vilnius, Lithuania, and brought to work in the labor camp of Treblinka. I don't know how long he was there before being taken to Berlin for indoctrination, then taken to Norway to be a chauffeur for a Nazi SS officers engineer. He was there until a year before the end of the war when at a Nazi officer retreat, allied forces broke in and rescued him and others.
He assisted the Americans as an informant, but never was recognized for his services.
I'm in the process of trying to locate as many documents as I can to write a book.
That’s one heck of a life story. I hope you’re successful with your book venture. 😇
Much luck to you for your book❤
I had a neighbor in Texas where we all was stationed and she had the Tattoo of her number on her Left arm. She said it will always be there. She never did find any of her family. My dad side of the family some made it out and went to Chicago. He found out that the older families did not. Rest in peace 🙏🙏🕊️🕊️.
My father was an engineer who worked in Germany for a few years in the 70s (a La Auf Wiedersehen pet) and he often mentioned the Treblinka and Sobibor camps. Which at the time weren’t as well known as Auschwitz. I think while he was there he visited and tried to educate himself as much as possible about the horrific things that happened in those camps. It stayed with him for life.
I can well imagine! 😞
I don't get it, if he worked in Germany in 70's, he most probably worked in Western Germany. There was a iron curtain between the Eastern and western blocks. Treblinka and Sobibor are in Poland, which was part of the Eastern block. So he worked in Eastern Germany and traveled to Poland in 70s just to see death camps set up by germans??? Never mind traveling from western germany to Poland - he'd be at least put on trial as a spy, most probably shot on the spot. I have problem adding this up and it sounds like a very interesting story, could you share more?

It's part of history and this documentary helps keep the history alive. If I remember correctly there is a blogger on UA-camr was traveling through Russia and Eastern Europe and was looking for history of gulags from the Stalin era. If my memory serves me correct there is only one museum left and very little to no real history still alive. I believe that documentaries like this shed a light to no only the horror but also the deep analysis of how it happened and also show the reality of history.
It is hard to believe that there are people on this earth who could carry out the actions of cruelty and even enjoy their task and then could go home to a wife and children shedding their day time job.
Most of the Action Reinhard staff did not bring their familes to rural Poland with them. The region was lightly populated and under pressure from Polish partisans. As such families were a liability, no place to educate children or to gain things needed for healthy family life.
Auschwitz was different - there was and still is the Commandant's house, which is right next to Camp 1.
Staff were forbidden to discuss their work with their families. Instead they were awarded leave of absences to spend time with their families.
Stangl commented that he could not discuss things with his wife. One of Stangl's deputies, while drunk, told her what her husband was doing. He had to deflect her questions.
Stangl discussed his life with Gitta Sereny, who compiled his admissions into the book "Into That Darkness". She has recorded interviews about Stangl which you can see here.
Its still happening only now another form.

Thank you for taking the time to go through comments made under your video, comments made on other youtube videos dismissing or disclaiming this horrific piece of history can be quite distressing, thank you also for taking the time to explain anything you may have found you have accidently mistaken, not being from europe or that side of the world, we didnt learn as much as we should have about this part of world war 2, being Australian we learnt more about the war happening here in the pacific at the time. Being able to learn about the less spoken about camps and parts of the holocaust is much appreciated. As distressing, soul crushing as it is, the world need to learn, know and remember in the hopes it is never repeated, the victims and survivors deserve to be remembered, deserve for us to know there stories and deserve the utmost respect while we do so ❤️🙏💔
Just a little advice. Don't use generic transitions between images, it can cheapen the impact of the video's content. Much better to do hard cuts, or simple fades between images.
I saw a group of scientists who at Treblinka they had some different things that were also used at most crime scenes they did one to see if anything human could be found among the dirt ground and such. Normally it would turn pink if there was. And it turned red showing that not only was there human ash but so much of it that it was as if the whole ground were more human than dirt.
An horrific thought.
That reminds me of the same technique used to detect blood at a crime scene. There is no hiding what happened at Treblinka.
Same at Birkenau, roughly translated Birchwood. The birds still sing there, the absence of nature at these sites is a myth as is the frankly stupid belief that ghosts inhabit them. The ghosts are the survivors. Unfortunately Auschwitz is now a tourist hotspot which causes controversy.
I tried everywhere I could think of to find a picture of the commandant of Treblinka 1 too but had no luck. Happy to have read that the partisans got him.

Thank you very much 😇
@@DiD86My pleasure!
You do have that vibe. You must've been told you have a great voice for narration or voice over type work.
Anyway, I'm glad I found your channel & wish you all the best 🙂
you enjoyed it????
@@rammylevy2436 I was about to say - strange choice of words.
@@JordanOrlando Yer, look up the meaning of the word 'enjoy'.....it does not mean one fas to have party or is extremely happy. I enjoyed it because of the things I stated.
See ya, kiddo. ; )
The Wansee House is ridiculously beautiful. Stark contrast to the decisions made within. I was fortunate enough to do a Berlin trip with school in secondary school. I was able to see a great many incredible and significant places, museums and memorials. But after all these years, two places have stuck with me the most. A medical building at Sachsenhausen and the main room in the Wansee House.
If you have opportunity to go to Wansee House or take a virtual tour, I much recommend it.
I fully intend to do a bit of European tour (for research for the channel) at some point but the channel will grow quite a bit before that’s a realistic possibility.
Fingers crossed. 😇
It belonged to a Jewish financier and was confiscated by the Gestapo. It was only used for a single conference then I believe it became a rest home for injured veterans. I think the financier was deported to Theresienstadt and on to Auschwitz where he perished. His name I cannot recall. Alan Heath does a good slot on YT about Wannsee. It's in a very beautiful setting in suburban Berlin and remains a museum and memorial.
Your Research, and Presentation are Absolutely Outstanding! Thank You for all of your Research, Time and Effort I see you put into every video!
Great channel, stories and production!
a member of my family was the first woman to enter Bergen Belsen,,,,she was a driver to Officers of the liberation force
Eliahu Rosenberg one of few survivors of Treblinka said the gas from the engines was smoke wasn't a clear gas. During the John Demjanjuk trial who was accused of being the man who ran the gas chamber he would pour oil into the engine to make it smoke more. I believe it was a diesel engine taken from a Soviet Tank. You could only imagine how much smoke this engine produced. He said the victims suffered a terrible death wasn't quick took over 20 minutes. You also forgot to mention that after the bodies were removed, they were hauled to a pile where "Dentist" would yank out any gold that was found in the mouths of victims.
Yes, exhaust fumes are indeed visible but the gas within it that did the deed, the active ingredient, if you will is invisible.
And yes, I did indeed forget to mention the teeth. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. 👍🏻
Elihau Rosenberg is the man that POSITIVITY identify John demjanuk as Ivan the terrible in 1986 Israel trial,but it turns out that he signed a affidavit in 1947 saying Ivan the terrible was killed and he witness his death......
@@rsmithajd now that is an interesting point! Thanks for bringing it up! 👍🏻
Diesel won't kill you and if it did it would take a lot longer then 20 minutes lol
@@Jeremy.lee87 Why don't you test that out see if it kills you in 20 minutes.
My grandfather lost his entire family by the nazis. He remarried and started again in South America. The only evidence of his prior life were photos. One of those was a picture of his 5-year-old daughter. On the back of it has something written in Polish and it was dated Auschwitz, 1940. My father still has the photo, but I never asked him what she wrote.
The irony of starting over in South America, where pretty much all Nazis fled to...
No he didn't. Stop lying.
Auschwitz didn’t start gassing families until 1942. You are why people deny the holocaust

Very interesting and informative. I have read accounts of Treblinka and Sobibor using Chlorine and sand to burn bodies, as scientifically this would burn the hottest for the greatest length of time very efficiently. Did any of your sources mention the science and chemistry behind first hand accounts?? Thanks.
No, but I shall look further as that is an interesting point you raise. 👍🏻
There are no mass graves there because none of this happened, it was a transit camp.
Shoah should be compulsory viewing for the whole world. It is a unique documentary and unfortunately Lanzmann and his team had to cut it down for general release. However we have those outtakes/B roll available and they are well worth tracking down and watching. They reveal even more about the subject. Shoah helped propel niche history to the wider audience. The team that made it often put their own lives at risk to capture what they did. Essential documentation in a class all of it's own 🎥
This sounds like you are referring to experiments with all kinds of chemicals conducted in the early stages of the Shoah. The Einsatzgruppen, Kriminalpolizei and various disposal experts such as Widmann, Blobel, With et al spring to mind. If you can watch Amen (2004 I believe) which dramatises Kurt Gerstein's account of the various experiments which reached the allies via the Vatican. Hard to find sadly but worth it. Chelmno and Belzec were the T4/Reinhard labarotories (pardon the expression). Alan Heath presents meticulous docs about this on YT. You might find more info there
This is a REALLY GREAT DOCUMENTARY! I respect all the time it must have taken to research a.this material. It's written and presented really well. Thanks alot! I'm looking forward to more of your videos.
Thank you. Yes, I’m quite proud of it, given it was my first video.
To this day my heart skips a beat whenever I hear "Wannsee" in association with WW2 as it is my home"town". I live pretty close to the house of conference too. It's simply unimaginable what these monsters once decided in this quiet part of the city.
Have you seen either of the two movies about that conference? One is German and one British. Both are very good. I would like to visit that villa.
@@renejean2523 Yes, I've actually seen the German one during my time at high school. It was a ride emotionally, I'll admit that. If you ever happen to be around Berlin, I strongly recommend visiting the villa. It's horrifying, but it reminds us of what happened- and what should never happen again.
Thank you for sharing these comments. You are both very civilised human beings. Blessings 🙏
Mind-blowing that men convicted of hundreds of thousands of murders were released from prison early on compassionate grounds.
I suppose the principle of “two wrongs don’t make a right” was invoked.
Thank you, I'm afraid I haven't been able to finish watching the video as the content is more than I can emotionally bear at the moment, but I really appreciate your work. Hopefully subscribing and commenting will help your work be found by others.
I understand. I'm currently writing a script about the Aberfan disaster and I have found the subject matter quite overwhelming, expecially becaus eit mostly involves children. I have had to come away from it and jump onto other scripts on more than one occasion, so that project has taken a lot longer than the more recent ones.
Why are you watching videos like this if you are so emotionally weak
@@DiD86 I remember Aberfan, I was but 6, watched the BBC news in b&w.
Simply, I remember it.
@@devondetroit2529 It is not a matter of emotional weakness but compassion and empathy. Also, one needs to be aware of the depths to which humanity can sink as well as the heights to which it can rise. Why? Well to quote the American philosopher, George Santayana, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it". We must always be on guard to prevent the likes of Treblinka ever happening again.
My heart goes out to you, im sorry this video and or similar one's have such a deep effect on you, i hope you find some peace within such turmoil ❤️🙏❤️
Promoting Dr. Felton and his work was a good idea.
I wouldn’t have it any other way. Credit where credit is due.
I'm also aware of the artist who did the drawing of Treblinka show at the timestamp 1:22. His name Samuel Willenberg and he's quite a good artist. He was one of only 86 people who survived Treblinka out of a total of about 900,000 people. I first heard about this place when I was only 13 years old and I'm now 20 years old. One thought of mine has never changed during that time. How can someone commit such a horrible crime and still be able to live with themselves afterward? That's is something I've never truly understood.
i recommend the movie 'The act of killing' for a thorough exploration of that question
@@kimjune Thx for the recommendation! I'll check it out! :)
Kudos to you for pronouncing every german word in german! It really makes it a pleasure to listen to you :) Sounds great!

“Never happen again?” - keeps happening since: Cambodia, Rwanda, China today as I write this. 😳
Very sadly you’re correct.
But one can dream of peace.
North Korea?
And Palestine.
You can add Gaza do the list
What you give you get back, nazi did it and they are destroyed, now it come to Jews. they are doing the same mistake to implement the genocide to Palestine people. They just repeat the history. Same mistake and same ending. #freepalestine
I have a Jewish friend who lost all four of her grandparents in concentration camps. Fortunately, her parents, who were just children at the time, had been sent overseas to safety. One to the UK, one to America.
My folks on my mother's side appear to have been Lithuanian Tatars and if they hadn't gotten out in the 1880s or so, would no doubt have been vacuumed up and killed. Too brown and all that.
My mother-in- law was being held by her mother and was pulled away from her mother, she saw her mother go into the gas chamber is so sad and she was just a kid and she found another kid it was a hard life Wow the stories they tell but they stowed away on a ship and made it to Canada. I can't believe people tonight is I just wow
Saving to show to my children when they are older....perfect detail and length for a classroom presentation.
I can't believe that any kind of compassion would be given to these bastards.
But when you consider the fact that virtually EVERY American slave owner got away with much worse, and for a far longer time period, it should become easier to understand.
Best narration I've heard on any UA-cam channel.
😇👍🏻 thank you very much.
Yes the very best.
Aptly named channel, this is truly a descent into the darkness of human bestiality. Very interesting to hear the justifications they offered, such as "just doing my job, I had no choice" We could also feel your emotional difficulty in narrating those horrors, but the truth must always be told in order to set us free from lies.
Strangely enough, when police officers use that old tired line, too many people expect them to be believed!!
May all of the victims memories be for a blessing
We hope the younger generation take the good advice of the narrators words 'we should never allow this to happen again'...Its up to them and documentry makers and historians to do there part and for this we thank you for the rendering of an history thats so terrble in its telling but so important that you do...Thanks!
I hope so too
Thanks...Please do keep posting these documentaries as it's important not only from an historical perspective as you've clearly done the hardwork and the research such as your facts are straight but do this for the sakes of all the innocent victims because those victims include even today's entire mass of humanity...
@@ericjarvieUnfortunately, California hasn't learned that lesson; back before the turn of the century, a governor committed crimes against humanity by installing lethal electric fences around the prisons. Since the existence of such fences is an element of the Nazi holocaust, their existence constitutes a crime against humanity.
Another holocaust element are the blanket condemnations against sex offenders; the sex offender laws do absolutely NOTHING to protect society or its children, but instead serve as a clever cover for the future extermination of the Jews of the western hemisphere. As Jews were required to renew their Stars of David annually, sex offenders are also required to renew their registration annually.
The connection to Jews being "sex offenders" will be made thru a scripture in the Talmud: 2nd Chronicles chapter 8, verses 7 and 8, mention "forced labor" which will be construed by the powers that'll be to mean "grooming", "trafficking", "molestation", "prostitution", etc., and the Jews will be punished as such.
In prisons today, Jewish inmates cannot be placed with the white inmates although most Jews share the same skin color; most sites in prison belong to some white supremacists gang, and such gangs have a history of being virulently anti-Semitic. This leaves only ONE placement option: Protective Custody (PC).
In California prisons, the PC and Admistrative Segregation (AdSeg) are very close together, often occupying the same building and even sharing the exact same yard facilities. In one medium-to-maximun facility, the two units are separated by just ONE thin steel siding door!
Other states have such sections separated by as much distance as is practicable!
Just think of what'll happen if both sections were to be released to the yard simultaneously; what would take place are the Ustachi-like mass slaughters I mentioned earlier.
“Nothing of that which is human is foreign to me”
And this chapter of history demonstrates what Man is truly capable of.
And so we have a duty of memory and vigilance
There are several movies about the Wannsee Conference. There is the HBO movie "Conspiracy", with Kenneth Bragnaugh, Colin Firth and Peter Toochi as well as numerous other excellent British actors. There is the 1984 German TV movie, "The Wannsee Conference", which although it's in German with English subtitles, seems the more accurate depiction of certain historical figures involved. A much more recent movie is out there but only in German language and I forgot the name.
Incredible narration, calm but nuanced. The right way to educate all who need to know this. Do not worry, none of this will ever disappear from the human record 🙏😞
Yeah no I can't deny it anymore. I've become greatly enamored with your content, I save you for last whenever I binge documentaries on heinous events on history so that the information can sink in. I'm following, keep up the damn good work.
Thank you. I’m glad I finally broke your spirit! 😂😂😂😂
Seriously though, I appreciate your kind words and your support.
I appreciate this very much. As someone adopted into a convert family (some of the family converted to Christianity, while the rest remained Jewish. I'm sure many of those in Europe were murdered in the Holocaust), I found your presentation very respectful without being sensationalistic. But I carry Roma heritage, so this was extra personal. Thank you for keeping the memories of these innocent victims alive.
a good watch, though difficult, Claude Lanzman's Shoah, there is an interview done in secret w/ a Franz Suchomel who was commissioned to work in Treblinka as an SS officer. I still remember his account where he did in fact admit he did initially suffer from the realization that he was in a death camp. So he says in the interview. However, a very gripping part of the film with his description of attempting to halt further transport since there were too many 'Leichen' corpses and the subsequent horror of dealing with a pit of rotting dead.
Like many people I had heard of Treblinka but didn't know any details, thanks for the information. NEVER FORGET!
You’re most welcome. And absolutely NEVER FORGET, NEVER AGAIN!
The photograph shown at 20:34 is an extremely rare picture taken on the Umschlagplatz in the Warsaw Ghetto. Many forget that the Trawniki Guards also worked within the Ghetto itself, and after filling rail cars at the Umschlagplatz, they would ride on top of the cars taking Jews to Treblinka. They were notorious for randomly shooting their rifles through the roofs of the train cars and killing people for no reason other than their hatred of the people they were transporting to the death camp.
They were referred to as Hell Dogs that ones that rode the trains. There is a very good photo, maybe 'good' isn't that best word to describe it but it shows very clearly a Trawniki man on transport duty taken by a Wehrmacht soldier passing through Bialystok I believe in 1942. It's in Gotta Sereny's haunting Into that Darkness. Highly recommended. If not it's probably in the Holocaust Research Museum's photo library if you Google it. The Jews that are getting into the cattle cars are literally packed in there with children on their parents shoulders, malnourished and dressed in rags. Lord, the inhumanity of these events is off the scale. Never again, never!!!
For Gotta, read Gitta that's predictive text for you always defaulting to slang. I gotta be more careful!
It's infuriating how many of those murderous bastards never faced justice for what they did and lived normal lives afterwards.
I guess the indians could say the same about britain. Or the native tribes about the americans.
Unfortunately, the same thing happened with those who ran Stalin’s gulags. Just faded back into everyday life.
@The Richest Man In Babylon Oh so it depends on how you kill millions of people when you speak of a crime against humanity? Hmmm well, if this is your standard then the british are nice innocent people.
@@garvielloken4114 Any race, tribe, nationality and country can say the exact same thing, that's history for you. People get slaughtered, that's it.

Thank you for this very important documentary. I've bought some fabulous books over the last 6 months. I've learnt so much by reading them. Your docume
Well done. Again, having Richard Burton narrating is an asset to the film! Just kidding but what a voice!
One of the best camp documentaries i’ve ever seen !
Thank you. 😇
The best I have seen,and thank you from me ,and my school friend who lost his family in one of the camps
Hello, and Thank You for an Extremely Well Done, Important, and Informative video, on a Heart Shattering period of time.
My mother had a family member who died in the camps ,I know this terrible thing happened, no one else I pray this will happen to,may they all rest inpeace
My sympathies to your mother. The wickedness of these camps is incomprehensible.
The R camps were set up in areas where the railroad track styles changed. The USSR used broader gauge railway tracks than the rest of Europe, so the same trains could not be used to travel into the USSR.
That's why they had to stop by these 3 camps which were close to the borders and that's why Himm wrote to Pol in the summer of 43 saying that the Transit Camp of Sob has to be converted into a concentration camp tor dismantling enemy weapons.
Treblinka wasn't a relocation camp, it wasn't a concentration camp, and had nothing to do with Soviet weapons. It existed for one purpose, murdering J*ws.
Very important video. The soldier from photo at 7:16 is from 1 World War and is experiencing shell shock. Those nazi who shot countless victims may have suffer similar psychological disorders. Nazi knew that. That's why gas chambers and burning furnaces for inmates were created.
Exactly. Unfortunately there wasn’t a perfect photo of a German WW2 soldier with shell shock so I had to go with that one instead but it illustrates the point nicely.
As my father used to comment, "only man is vile". Now I know how true this is. My brother in law was a Czech jew and lost all his family in the Holocaust. He was the best brother in law any one could wish for. I will never forgive the Germans for denying me the opportunity to meet his family!
I’m so very sad to hear of their plight. So many individual stories, lost in a crowd of voices.
NEVER AGAIN! ✊🏻
Remember. Not all Germans. Here in the states a portion of liberals are pushing book burning and hate.
"Only man is vile" ?
makes no fkn sense 😆
Clearly your old man wasn't into nature much. If he had studied ecology in school or gone to the zoo, he would have witnessed how vile the non human animal species are.
Ex. When parents kill a weak offspring. Humans are the only species that has evolved around supporting the weak via support structures and collective effort.
Also, there's Cannibalism...a practice common with most species. Yet again, only humans have progressed to the point where the majority view it as Taboo or Deranged to eat another person.
And Territorality>> Lions will kill the cubs of a lioness if they threaten their place in the pride, tho temporary it may be.
Few humans are psychotic enough that they are gonna murder kids over short-term relations. Those that do are the ones that end up in a Criminal Minds episode
Don't blame younger Germans for the crimes of their forefathers.
@@tancreddehauteville764 It is really that simple. Learn history, learn why, then the we can try to keep it from happening. Not forever unfortunately. Here in the US their is a far left group doing just what the "brown shirts" did. And they think its ok, and that they will be able to do it right. idiots.
When I was about 14 a maths teacher gave us a talk. This was prompted by someone jokingly snapping their heels together and giving a nazi salute. Miss Lee gave an explanation of a number tattooed on her arm and how she survived a concentration camp at the end of WW2 aged 18. What a lovely sunny day with the pleasure to know that my teacher survived. I loved the maths lessons but her story was more important.❤❤❤❤❤Miss Lee❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
They should show all the Documentaries I watched on A & E, in Germany. Born in 1959 in Germany, I can tell you that nothing like that was shown in Germany. No words can compare the horror that took place, back then. The Devil wanted to come back to earth and he almost succeeded !!!
He did come back, what do you call the Berlin Wall and Communist take over of Eastern Europe?
Germany is so lauded for addressing the horrors of the Nazis head-on, especially in school. Do Germans not see the old videos from tune camps?
It is mind blowing that Germany has the gall to once again send tanks east to kill Russians as in WW2. It is obvious Germany did not learn an important lesson. It will, once again, not work out well for Germany. Rise up before it is too late, Germans!
Interesting including the song's key. Having them sing in the enervating and melancholic D min would've been a bridge too far. The more sensible and euphonious Dmaj was a certain relief.
Oh absolutely. Got to give them SOME hope, after all!
Thank you for this video. Eye-opening truly disgusting what happened in the past but the story needs to be continually told so it can be never forgotten so it never happens again.
Thank you for one of the ONLY in depth explanation of Treblinka. This terrible death camp gets practically no coverage by scholars, only wish some original photos could be found like the ones recently of sobibor. Finally heard about some of the treblinka guards, hope at least some of them died in prison. Where are the trail transcripts from Dusseldorf trial 1965? Want to read for ourselves what the guards testified in court, how could they kill innocent people day after day? How could they take the stench of the dead getting in their clothing, hair, hands etc?.
Doesn’t bare thinking about how people could do such things.
I’ll be covering Sobibor soon enough. Hoping to hop over to Poland in the Summer and do some on-site research for Auschwitz & Majdanek.
Glad you enjoyed. Thank you for your support. 😁👍🏻
@@DiD86 went to Birkenau, Plaszow, and Belzec when I was in Poland last year. Definitely thought I knew alot about the Holocaust but I did not have the perspective that I thought I did
It was mostly destroyed leaving far less evidence than a camp that wasn't purposely erased.
Treblinka has been covered by many a scholar if you look for it. It's just that Auschwitz grabs all the attention as most of it you can still visit etc.
0.0096% ..... those were your odds for survival in Treblinka....what a tragedy. The devastation was, in no uncertain terms, utterly complete.
Very well done. So haunting no matter how far back in time.
Thank you. And yes, you’re so right. It casts a LONG shadow.
It's truly tragic and not really that far back in time. I'm sure the people alive at the time thought they were a part of an advanced society where atrocities such as this would not be carried out. 😔
Not that far back in time. Was in my life time.

Randy Meisner the king of the high-voice - F sharp 5 performance! I used to (and STILL do) listen to this same performance at least 4 times a week. It just makes me feel better when life has been particularly mean to me during the course of a day. Sometimes all of the days attack at once and I end up feeling beaten down by it. Randy has never failed to be my lifeline. His voice is so calm and soothing when he sings. The treatment he endured toward the end of his involvement with the Eagles, especially with Glenn Frye, he deserved a lot better than he got.
I pray I will meet him in Heaven and listen to him sing all day long. ❤️🐈
Whilst I agree on the highly accurate appraisal of the Eagles bassist, (I’m a big Eagles fan, myself) but I’m a little confused as to what inspired the comment? 😅
Very touching and enlightening presentation.
Prop for shouting out my boy Dr. Mark Felton. The last person I knew who was such an expert on WW2 was my grandfather and he was in the war

"vernichfungslager" (2:20) translates literally to "extermination camp".
