I visited the Holocaust museum in Washington DC the first week it opened. If you think you can’t hear silence , you can. The silence was tangible in the museum as I stared at each glass case that represents history. It was such a silence walking through the museum that it evolved to be my greatest and most compelling tutor. It was when I arrived to the enclosed glass cases filled with brown and black shoes piled on top of each other , I felt paralyzed with sorrow and grief. I understood just then that we all needed to bare witness in one way or another to the memory of the Holocaust in order to recover and to truly understand the words “ Never again.” Shalom 🙏🏼 ☮️
Thank you for understanding.
Tell us what happened in Russia??
@@geozap4518 get over it
get over it cry me w river
What about the Palestinian people you peace of sh**t
“May our fate be a warning to you.”
May we be smart enough to heed that advice.
The Israeli government is currently doing this to palestinians. I'm not knocking Jewish individuals, rather I'm trying to expose and shed/illuminate the actions of the state/government of israel. Just as guilty as the nazi's!
No one can erase history no matter how hard they try.
And it tends to repeat itself. Buckle up my friends.
Govt's erase history all the time, China, Russia, North Korea, even the good ol USA has practiced this. Hell, Florida and
Texas right now are removing and destroying books in schools as an excuse over the gays. All dictators practice erasing history, Trump has managed to also erase important documents as we all well know. He flushed them down the toilet, bahwooosh and thats why the white house had many flooded toilets in his part of the white house wing where the Trump family made a living. Now we know why he alawys made odd remarks of toilets with low water pressure.
All debunked.
Tell that to the Japanese
@@darrenscott6982 Debunked??
"Let our fate be a warning to you" is chilling. Makes my blood run cold as it is entirely possible, or probable that it happens again. I'm afraid the further away we get from it the easier it would be to happen again.
This is what's happening in PPalestine to the Palestinians. There is a genocide that's taking place at the hands of the Zionist terrorists... I hope that also makes your blood boil....
Israel is currently doing this to palestinians! Suck bastards!
And some Israelis are Christian , so this isn't a knock on Jewish individuals, I'm commenting on the Israeli government. Israel is a state of murder, they are just as bad as the Nazi's were.
It already has happened multiple times, both before and since ww2. Palestinians, Uyghurs, Darfur, Rwanda, Indigenous populations, and countless others. The list is very long.
It's happening in China and nobody is doing anything.
I simply cannot see concentration camps without getting deeply sick and nervous. And I have visited the “easiest” one, Terezin, where the Czech elite was arrested after the occupation (artists, writers, bankers, journalists, politicians, lawyers… women, children…). The dark and long corridors are claustrophobic. We shall never forget the Holocaust.
This is what the state of Israel is doing to palestinians! The state of Israel are a bunch of murderers
You should then visit the current largest concenration camp...Palestine!!
We are heading down that road again a most people can’t even see it.🙏🙏👍💪
we as human society must never forget but we have as its happened again all over the world darfur cambodia bosnia how will ever evolve above such in humanity
I wouldn't be able to handle seeing a place like these...Just the thought of how much evil and suffering went on there, it would crush me to pieces.
You should look, and fight so it never happens again. Like now in America with the Republicans!🤔
I cannot fathom how cruel mankind can be to each other. It’s doesn’t seem real that this atrocity happened within 100 years ago. Sickening
@@beholden1663 ..and it is hapening right now in Palestine!!
I feel so sad for all the kids and people that died! 😭😭😭
Germans were BRAINWASHED by One sick psychopath. Like Trump. Trump has said NOvember 2023 he will build CONCENTRATION CAMPS for ENEMIES. GENERALS. ANYONE NOT SALUTING HIM. FOLLOWING HIM 100%. America is being brainwashed and scared. Millions of IDIOTS FOLLOW THIS SICK BASTARD
Do u feel the same for the kids killed in Palestine!!! Jews are doing the same !!! Hypocrisy!!!
The one thing I really appreciate about Germany is unlike Japan, UK or even the US it doesn't hide from its horrible past. They are even taught the horrors of Nazi crimes from a very young age. It takes strength to actually acknowledge and make amends with the victims of such a brutal past even if it wasn't done by you but rather your ancestors. Yes the Nazis were horrible people but today's Germany is far from them.
No what you said that's worng
@@karunakarvullamparthi4218 how? I may have the wrong information so happy to learn something new based on facts
@@nikefreak6257 You're completely right, from a German. That guy is just ignorant
..and same thing is happenning in Palestine...
As a Jewish, i completely agree
I couldn't imagine having to burn corpses or doing hard labour while starving knowing my time could be up any minute. How terrifying for them
Basically living in a human slaughterhouse. Its so grim
@@Redonepunch exactly. It's hard to understand how humans could do this to one another. I know there are still horrible people in this world too but I wouldn't be able to live with myself
3:52 The sadness in his sigh is so sad. May those who died there rest in piece ❤
@3:40 He admits it was a labor camp.
We pray to God that it never does! My grandfather’s both fought in that war as did my father-in-law! Never again! I made sure my children know and understand what the Holocaust was about and the atrocities that occurred. As the schools don’t teach much about it anymore!
Beyond nightmares, beyond hell
Out of all of the things I've learned in history the Holocaust is definitely the most horrible one, I cried in front of everyone when I learned and I still cry...It has scarred me for life but not more than the poor victims, some of which had no idea what was going to happen to them and the victims families...I am so sorry people had to go through that...My sorrows and prayers are with you🙏
Try to stop thinking with emotions and examine the story a bit closer
@@dpjbdpjb You don't believe it happened? Careful what you read.
There are reports from people who witnessed it all, that is what you should be reading.
@@antseanbheanbocht4993 Lots of survivors from these “dEaTh caMpS”
Look up the history of China during the communist takeover. They where more brutal than Hitler.
@@antseanbheanbocht4993They are just damn retarded .
A very humbling tribute to the survivors of these atrocities.
They way that this inhumanity happened is so unbelievably sad. The Holocaust & Slavery are two parts of history that give me horrible chills because I don’t understand treating humans like worse than garbage. Whippings, getting sold, getting shot, bullied & emotional fear, forced separation from your family, removal from your home, Gas chambers, forced labor, disease, just awful overall treatment.😢 Horrible things.
There are 2,000,000 people being held as slaves TODAY
Just knowing that the place was the final destination for many is pretty chilling.
It was an awful pit stop. Not final. They will stand again. John 5: 28
Blessed is the match that is consumed in kindling flame.
Blessed is the flame that burns in the secret fastness
of the heart.
Blessed is the heart with wisdom to stop its beating for
honor's sake . . .
Blessed is the match that is consumed in kindling flame.

This voyage into this Nazi Concentration Camp where Jews and other non-Aryans were tortured is like revisting an American cotton field or slave auction were Black slaves were forced to endure labor.
Except this got ZERO justice
@@420crim3 & WE DIDNT EITHER!
I've been to an old slave house, this seems way worse IMO
Those things aren't even comparable..
@@Kaiserin why not???
That was overpowering. And I don't mean the Nazis. The man who spoke with you guys was a pure professional. Absolutely a stunning piece
you were suckered
@@dpjbdpjb besides your mom I'm not sure who
@@richlewis1879 I would wager you would look great with a steely to the head
Show me the history of Native American reservations
Native American Indians SLAUGHTERED. 80 Million killed by White Europeans PSYCHOAPTHS. Using WINCHESTER RIFLE. How the West was won. America was built on DEATH & DESTRUCTION. sick now we have TRUMP. HE WILL KILL ALL HIS ENEMIES GIVEN ANOTHER CHANCE FOR POWER/
Honestly, I have read historical accounts in college about these concentration camps, but I didn’t know they were located in Poland ...as well. It’s a journey in this video of the chilling effects used against these victims of ww2. For peace of mind, it’s not easy to merely see this presentation. May peace come soon to Eastern Europe in this war... and then to battered Ukraine. May Russian aggressors met their destinies with charges of war crimes... as well. If ..the war ends and the people are freed in Ukraine’s bombed out regions, then what? . Horrifying video otherwise. Thank you for this reporting job as well! 💜☮️⭐️
There's a lot in poland
All 6 Death Capms were located in Poland. Concentration camps were all over Germany and Poland. I think there was a death camp in Romania as well.
@@Sean-ix2tb good boy
Pray for palestine. Israel, stop murdering palestinians!
@@robertgronowski6341Palestines stop murdering the Jews! Pray for Israel🇮🇱
Phil Lipof has become my favorite ABC News reporter. His broadcasting is full of empathy and this video is no exception from the said. He is going well in the footsteps of the late Peter Jennings. And last but not least, this video is so chilling to see. Lest we forget what happened in the past. The craziest is , that we are going through a war in Europe again these days. Every war leaves behind many dead, lives destroyed, families torn. In the past, and nowadays.....
I just know the energy here is heavy this is so heartbreaking
Purple triangles. Jehovah’s Witnesses were also murdered and persecuted. I like the book: “Facing the Lion” by Simone Arnold. So deeply sad for everyone who suffered at the hands of these monsters.
"Call on the Lord in the day of trouble,
and He will deliver you"
Psalm 50 :15
Weird and inappropriate thing to comment, on this video especially, given that millions of people did just that... and were systematically tortured and exterminated anyway.
that did not really work out.
I was watching this while having lunch, had to stop midway as I lost my appetite.
Why doesn't anyone ever show us the huge piles of bone chips that would be left from the cremations?
says on the sign at the crematoria they were used as fertilizer. If you can believe that. Why were there a lot of urns found at this location?
It was obviously removed
@@shrekxrohankishibe apologies, I do not understand
@@dpjbdpjb before the museum opened the bones were removed. No one wants to see human remains when visiting the camp and they have to clean the museum.
@@shrekxrohankishibe Hello again, Please reference this video at 4:39. This structure you see was built in 1969. Before that, there was a mountain of something on a platform located at the same spot that people could see very easy. There was no roof to this platform . If I could, I would send you a photo I have from 1967 but You Tube will not allow links or attachments. If interested, you would have to do a search to see this platform. Good day
I have read the book true to life story in concentration camp of Corrie Tin Boom
I have never in my life felt the way I felt when I walked through Auschwitz and Dachau. I sobbed the entire time. You hear things and you see videos like this, but it is exponentially more intense to see it in person.
Will not forget about the people that unfortunately died. ❤
He was crying for sure, which I would be too. (It sounded like he was crying to me) God bless the victims of the Holocaust...💔💔💔
Did he say one of the most important buildings😳 unbelievable rip to all those lost
Disgusting 😪words cannot express the shocking things that were done to those poor innocent people 💔
This is what is happening to Palestinians, stop murdering these people!
@@robertgronowski6341 true
@@robertgronowski6341 totally in agreement!!
It never stopped. Human bondage is growing. Middle East, Africa,South American,European, USA almost everywhere.
Did the guard pull out each body after they were gassed
You can see how unsettled the reporter is.
“Can I stand on the grass?” You can tell Phil is really enjoying it..
Purple Triangles…..😢
Although nowadays we only are able to speak with precious few survivors of these concentration camps, we must never forget the scale of these terrible crimes against humanity. Entire cultures which thrived in Europe for centuries were pushed to the brink of extinction, and are now shells of their former selves.
Dear God, please forgive our inhumanity toward each other.
War is a terrible thing. I pray it never happens again but history unfortunately repeats itself. God Bless.
When we were kids, we used to play a game we called “Nazi Concentration Camp”. My friend had a fenced in garden we used as a concentration camp and convinced younger children to play the prisoners. We told them that we we playing “Hogan’s Heros” an that they were American soldiers. Though, we weren’t playing colonel Klink or Sergeant Shultz. We were Himmler and Goebbels even though those guys never worked the camps. We would make them line up for count and then play beat them. Eventually, we got too aggressive with the prisoners and their parents found out. Little did I know that they were actually Jewish. I wasn’t the one who picked them. I was a guard. I was just doing my job.
Thats a warped game.normal children would never think about playing a game like that!
What is wrong with you? Why would you leave a comment like this?
@@juliebryne2903 it was so much fun! I was absolutely vicious with my role. You wouldn’t want to have crossed me.
@@nancyayala2217 we did have a lot of fun playing this game. I just wish I could play something similar as an adult.
@@AtomicB-zq2cw wow are you sick or something? I’m completely shocked that you feel that way.
My we all be blessed enough to never see these types of tragedies never happen again.
@1:05 explains why I usually feel the need to cover my head with a hat and hood when healing
What the hell do “heels” have to do with dignity? That was a stretch.
Unfortunately things like the Congolese Massacre by Leopold is barely documented like this
What! they had FREE CREMATION!!!
What? there were urns
Truly sick what happened, Evil in human form.
Humans are flesh and flesh is evil.
but something like this has happened, and it keeps on happening. It's a crime. Crimes happen. And we as countries sometimes can't interfere into another's politics without inducing war. It's not a solution to remember. There needs to be more.
Id break down if i ever visited tbis place 😭😭😭😭😭 disgusting people who killed innocent people for been different 💔💔 no need at all! R.i.p to all the people that lost there lives
@3:40 Reporter admits it was a labor camp.
@@roostercogburn7243many people died at the labor camps, what point are u trying to make?
Duh... It's already happened several times since. Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, etc. It's always happening in different places at different times.
That quote on the mausoleum should be on every capital building in the world. “MAY OUR FAITH BE A WARNING TO YOU”. History must never forget and for those that don’t understand why Israel insists on securities should watch these documentaries.
It could happen again but doubt it and hopefully it doesn’t
looks like its fake story anyone agree
You silly troll.
Why did they keep there shoes
Majdanek was a shoe repair facility
🙏
Can you imagine the horror and anxiety this people lived day by day knowing that your time is up at any moment..and yet the Nazis lived in comfort knowing they had family's too..how could you sleep at night knowing you just murdered 18 thousand people in one day....this Nazis where total monsters ..but at the end they were found guilty for there crimes and expected for what they did..
Ethiopian regime did the almost same thing to civil Eritrean but western did absolutely nothing.
Its still happening for a fact
Reliving a nightmare
Whats happening in Gaza today?
Americans should show their brutalities when they invaded Iraqi and other countries too. They are too criminals of wars. Really double standards
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
There is no judge on morality if there was we would blame all Americans right no double standards
In every war there are war criminals on all sides. But NOTHING done by anyone during war even comes close to what happened in WW2. This was a premeditated genocide in an attempt to wipe out the entire Jewish community. Americans didn't go in to Iraq looking to target and wipe out every Muslim.
Taking out Saddam Hussein was definitley a bad thing
@@josephgirard4145 If they want to kill Sadam, they could have used CIA. Not at the expense of killing innocents
😳😳😲 Omg speechless
Mujdanek was a death camp and the color on the walls is Prussian Blue
Oh? Why is it that Prussian Blue is in two rooms only? One room has doors that open inward into the room and a breakable window. The other room has NO holes in the ceiling and blue staining, but the room next to it has no Prussian blue staining and has a ceiling hole. why is that? That Zyklon was used to control the lice population so people do not get typhus
Never again
Although current generations of Germans are not responsible for these truly evil deeds, the endless list of atrocities and crimes against humanity their forefathers perpetrated during the Herero Nama Genocide, WW!, Armenian Genocide, bombing civilians during the Spanish civil war, the Holocaust and WW2 leaves a huge permanent stain on the history of what was considered one of the most educated nd cultured nations at the turn of the 20thy century.
R.I.P. to all the victims of German aggression.
The way they played cheerful music while murdering those poor people is so sickening.
Hogwash
Absolute Lies
The only thing im confused at why is the "palestine supporters" Not attacking this video?
What is there to say bruh, netanyahu's forefathers are not really happy with his acts...he is just out of his damn mind
@@greenpanther3451 1 month ago..
at 4:20, see all those pipes going into a big pipe? There are 4 of these. These pipes provided warm water showers to the inmates. During a 20 hour day, supplying 50 shower heads, roughly 5000 people could be cleaned here. Purveyor of what secret? Heck there is a sign on the wall in this building saying they were for showers.
Of course the sign says it's for showers. Imagine herding them in if the sign said it was for Zyklon B
Now they’re doing the same thing to Palestinians. The oppressed became the oppressor.
You offended holocaust survivors just there. Comparing Gaza War to Holocaust where 17-19 million people killed, mostly jews, how disgraceful.

After the end of World War II, the Soviet Union first operated against the forest brothers of the states that had joined its territory. When the Cold War and the like are not included, but only clear armed clashes, the Soviet Union and Russia have since waged the following wars:
* 1946 Soviet troops provide military aid in Manchuria to the Chinese Communists
* 1950 The Soviet Air Force participated in the Korean War
* 1956 The Soviet Union occupies Hungary
* 1960, 1964 and 1969 Soviet forces were active in Laos
* 1962 Soviet troops were involved in Algeria
* 1962 and 1967 Soviet troops were involved in Yemen
* 1965 Soviet troops were involved in Vietnam
* 1967-1974 Soviet troops support Egypt in wars between Arabs and Israel
* 1967 Soviet troops were in Syria
* 1967, 1975 and 1984 Soviet troops were involved in Mozambique
* 1968 Czechoslovakia is occupied by Soviet forces
* 1969 Soviet forces clash with the Chinese army on the Ussuri River
* 1970 Soviet troops were involved in Cambodia
* 1974 Soviet troops were involved in Bangladesh
* 1975-1979 Soviet troops were involved in Angola
* 1977 Soviet troops were involved in Ethiopia
* 1978 Soviet troops were involved in Nicaragua
* 1979 Soviet troops occupy Afghanistan for 10 years
* 1982 Soviet troops were involved in Syria and Lebanon
* 1987 Soviet troops were involved in Chad
* 1988 Soviet troops were involved in Karabakh
* 1989 Soviet troops kill 19 and wound 291 Georgians in Tbilisi
* 1991 Soviet troops were involved in South Ossetia
* 1991 Soviet troops kill 15 Lithuanians in Vilnius and attack protesters in other cities
* 1991 Soviet troops kill seven Latvians
* 1991 Soviet forces kill three in Moscow
* 1991 Unorganized Russian troops sent by Moscow took part in the Yugoslav war
* 1992 Russian troops are involved in Abkhazia
* 1992 Russian troops are involved in Tajikistan
* 1992 Russian troops are involved in Moldova's Transnistria
* 1993 Russian troops kill about 150 in Moscow alone
* 1994 Russian troops start the first Chechen war
* 1999 Russian troops start the second Chechen war
* 2008 Russian troops attack Georgia
* 2014 Russian troops occupy Crimea, which annexed Russia, and occupy part of Donbass
* 2015 Russian troops took part in the war in Syria
For example, the 1962 missile crisis in Cuba and the Moscow peacekeeping operations in Sierra Leone, Sudan, Burundi, Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Liberia, Chad and Angola are missing from the list.
My family was murdered in the Shoah. As a Jew I will never forget!
My God..... how many Human slaughter houses did those german murderers build☹️😬😪
Nazi germany had at least one concentration in each country they occupied to send all non aryans , jews etc… and execute them
"and if there is a god, he will have to beg for my forgiveness".
Let's talk about Gaza.
Let's talk about almost pratically every terror attack ever everywhere That's an Arab. From an American Israeli
In 2005, Israel got out of Gaza; in return, they got thousands of projectiles fired at them!
there are camps like this in palestine today run by the IDF
It does happen to the Palestinians and Jews by HAMAS, free Palestine from Hamas. Free the world from Hamas, Hizabllah, Iran, Alqueda, Taliban, elshabab, I can go on and on.
Still crying for this barbarism of the hitlers regimen!!! From Northern California!!!
We said never forget, and we said never again. And now we have Russia and China doing it all over again while we watch.
The crematoria you see was put into service in January 1944 and according to the Majdanek Museum own website, gas chambers shut down in Early days of September 1943. Before cremations were done in the middle of the camp. My question is, what is the big secret the Germans were trying to keep?
Emotional journey at Auschwitz
Your problem is you think with emotions, not critically
They had sophisticated gadgets detectors etc to draw on graph papers with ink of birds of india
huh?
The most disgusting thing I've ever known.. how nicely Nazi soldiers were treated after we found out what was happening in 1944
They are white who thought they were going to be treated horrible with all the famous technology they had American elites were not willing to lose that let's just say no one can set moral standards on anyone sorry
German Concentration Camps
German Soldiers paid by German Government
Wermacht was a German Army
@@LK-W like they shoulf
Just seeing these camps as a museum now, Germany should be ashamed of their own past even being proud of being German
It’s a reminder of how this actually happened and should never happen again. This is what your cancel culture is doing. You try and erase anything evil and then that leaves no examples to teach the upcoming generations. The German people are not proud of this, they are bearing the ugly scars of their heritage. I’d wager that there are no sites to demonstrate the horrors of slavery in the United States like there won’t be any mention of the residential school horrors in Canadian text books, and it really goes to show. You can’t erase the past and expect a better future as a result. You can be ashamed of your past while still acknowledging it. This is neither the time or planet to be sensitive in.
There are many that are. Germans are not nazis and if u don't distinguish between the two u are no different then those that did what they did to my people and countless others
I’ve never been to Germany and I’m sure there is beautiful scenery and vibrant cities like many countries in Europe. But there must be an underlying energy of sadness and despair that’s a dark cloud over it.
Are you the moral judge now I'm sure your country did some horrible crimes and let's not start comparing now
@@chanabayla1823 Actually no it’s different. One speaks over RUclips and the other actually killed those people. Get your facts straight first
6:29 😢 sadly happening now that too by a jew...I'm sure his ancestors are not happy with his doings
rest in peace so sorru ops
Now Jews showing the same to the Palestinian people !
You mean the ones that cheered on 10/7?
Meanwhile China
This is a sad day in history. 18,400 people is a lot of people to kill in one day. However, the Americans killed approximately 140,000 Japanese people in one day in the city of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945. Which is worse? Both are facts.
Tis not
Aye Japan shouldn’t have done Pearl Harbor then they wouldn’t had to
America gave Japan many chances to give up. they didn't want to nuke them but what other choice did they have.
Japan lost most of their navy fighting the US and they had nothing left to fight with. Yet they didn't give up.
the only other way to make them give up was to do a land invation which would lead to the unnecessary deaths of many American and Japanese soldiers.
Nuking them was the only realistic choice the US had war isn't nice things happen that one side never wanted to happpen.
@@somebluestaroutinspace5625 I hope you are being sarcastic wtf
Maybe Japan shouldn't have murdered those millions of random civilians they did.
This is how history will remember Israel's crime against Palestinians!!!
Shut up
In Nov 1944 the Majdanek museum claimed 2 million murdered, In 2005 it was announced by the Majdanek Museum that 78,000 people died. Lets do some simple math. 78K / 2M = .039 or 3,9%..... 100% - 3.9% = 96.1% thus an inaccurate estimation of 96.1%. Things that make you go hmmm
#neverforget

What about the The American Genocide of the Indians.
When Native Americans Were Slaughtered in the Name of Civilization.
It was tthe way of the world back then and even in later years. Britain, Spain, Portugal, Belgium etc all expanded their empires worldwide killing and enslaving. Not just the United States. So easy to look back through 21st century lenses
Half way there at the Southern US border....
Theyre already here and they're called MAGA aka nazis!
It's worste in federal high security here in USA
Pressing [X] on this one.
It was true horor! I am so soory for what the jews had to go through! I love Israel, I pray for Israel.🙏🇮🇱💙
