Notice at how usa who sent two atomic bombs killing millions of civilians in japan don't like to show what they did, same for the murder of a million and half iraki childs killed by usa and their jewish defense secretary who declared that "it was worth it".
My Uncles Aunt, Joyce Richardson, was attached to the British 11th Armoured Division as a nurse when they liberated Belsen. More than 60,000 prisoners were still barely alive on the day that they were freed with 13,000 bodies in the camp. Many of the soldiers gave the concentration camp inmates food from their rations and a scores died as their bodies could not cope with what they had had so little of for so long. She stopped the soldiers handing out the rations willy nilly and organised a proper feeding programme which probably saved many lives, of which we are very proud. She had also been at Dunkirk much earlier in the war, treating British and German wounded in a Church in the town. During the North African Campaign she demanded that a jeep stop so she could rescue a young German soldier who was laying beside his knocked out tank. She nursed him for a number of days, barely leaving his side, but as he was so badly injured he was repatriated back to his own lines and comrades. A German messenger, some days later, handed a letter over to the British which was addressed to Joyce at her unit. When she opened it she was flabbergasted as it was a personal thank you from no lesser a man than General Erwin Rommel, showinhg his appreciation of her care for his Panzer soldier as he had told everyone about her. Her fiance, a navigator, was killed when his Lancaster was shot down over Berlin in 1943 and she never married but trained as a physiotherapist and travelled the world for many years lecturing as well as practising. She was the youngest of 14 girls, her parents no doubt hoping for a boy at some time. She died aged 88 and she is, although no blood relative of mine, my heroine.
@@t.h.8475 My uncle, who himself passed away 3 years ago, pleaded with her to write a book but she always said that she was no more special than any one else who lived through WW2. She was the nicest person I have ever met. Her sister Mary (the 13th born) had learning difficulties and Joyce looked after her at home rather than having her placed into an institution which was then the norm. She looked after Mary for at least 30-35 years and yet she was the most jolly person you could meet. I hope one day, if their is anything after we kick off this mortal coil, to meet her again and explain just what she meant to me. I forgot to mention that she had refused to leave the wounded she had under her care at Dunkirk and, along with other nurses and doctors, was captured by the Germans. She was repatriated so she could nurse some severely wounded British soldiers who were sent back to the UK. A swap was done so that some badly wounded Germans who had been brought back to England went back to Germany at the same time. No matter how exciting my life may be, although so far that has not happened, it could never match what life threw at her or her generation. She was in the Queen Alexander's Imperial Military Nursing Service which was formed in 1902.
@@nickrobinson8339 you are so right about that generation. My stepdad lied about his age so he could join up really young right after Pearl Harbor. He ended up serving 20 years with the Airforce (it was previously known as the Army Air Corp). He went on to be deployed to Korea and served during Vietnam. My step grandfather fought in the Pacific. He experienced horrors no one would ever want to.. My paternal grandfather served during the war as well but I don't know anything about his service history. He died before I was born. The sheer grit it took for them to survive and then change to civilian life was nothing like people today. No whining or complaining, just doing.
@@t.h.8475 100% Agree. Respect for your families service. My father did 2 years compulsory National Service in the Royal Engineers and came out just before the Korean War just as his brother went in. His brother was in the Black Watch or Seaforth Highlanders, I cannot remember which. It was a Scottish Regiment but at that time it had many many Londoners in it, having recently recruited for some reason in East London. My uncle being one of them. He fought the Chinese and was wounded twice. His platoon was all but overrun and I believe he was only one of 6 out of 30 or so from the platoon to come home. He would never talk about the war and ,only just before he died, did he tell his wife about his luck and the fate of his friends. Their father, my grandfather, fought in the Essex Regiment in WW1 and was in the trenches for almost 4 years, also being wounded twice, once in 1915 by shrapnel and then in 1918 by a bullet in the leg. My fathers cousins, seven of them, all fought in WW2 and one of them was wounded in North Africa by an 88mm shell that killed most of his section. Another was so traumatised by what happened to him in Italy that he spent much of his life in and out of psychiatric hospitals. My Uncle Vic, married to the 7 brothers only sister, was on British aircraft carriers as a rear Bofors AA gunner and was the only member of his gun grew to survive when a Kamikaze smashed into the flight deck nearby. He used to say that he had fired tons of high explosive into the Pacific sky but only ever holed clouds.My parents were Londoners and had a few narrow escapes during the Blitz and later in 1944 when the V1 and V2 bombs were being targeted on the South-East of England. A stick of bombs obliterated a row of houses at the end of their road killing 24 people and wounding as many again. A factory a few streets away was hit that killed 71 women who worked making British Army uniforms. They are still both alive, in their early 90s, and love to talk of those times and I suppose I have just been immersed in all this history for as long as I can remember.
to see these women smile after all that they had endured was so beautiful. The doctors treated them with such loving care and dignity. This made me cry🙏
You do important work. The AI restoration makes it feel as if it happened now, which is what people need to feel because it might as well be now and it's happening again. People are much the same now as they were then. We aren't different because time has passed.
I have studied the holocaust for almost 50 years. This colorized film has *power* in bringing to life priceless documents: seeing the faces of the people who suffered in the camps in color as they experience kindness is so moving. Thank you for your work!
@@Hallo81398 perhaps you should watch the US army film crew's film "DDay to Berlin." That show the decomposing bodies piled high at camps that they found. If that doesn't drive it home then nothing will.
@@Hallo81398 I kinda have doubts that Germany exists. Seems pretty fake to me. Also how would you study a country for 50 years? There isn't that much to it. This is actually the first comment I've read that was supposedly written by a German person. There's a place on the map called "Germany" and lots of footage showing supposedly Germany but I doubt it's real.
@@dougstewart61 I couldn't disagree more. I think that most humans can relate more to something that has been colourised than not. Look at Peter Jackson's We Shall Not Grow Old. Although the colourisation process isn't a natural process it adds an element that makes it far more relatable to a species that sees and thinks in colour.
the really awful thing is that some of these people still might have died. Many, many people died after liberation. The whole Holocaust is beyond comprehension, but to have survived all of that only to die anyway is so haunting. I really hope that everyone in this video went on to have a full and healthy life
One tragic thing is that some former prisoners died from murder after liberation; many people still hated Jews, and there were cases of escapees being killed by people living in villages surrounding concentration camps. Truly horrific stuff
Tragic to have died after liberation, but I imagine, breathing free air at death's door is better than breathing stale oppressive concentration camp air. I hope that thought helps soften the sadness for you.
To go from a world of horror to a clean, comfortable and caring environment, must have seemed a miracle to those who survived those camps. Bless them all.
@Scrap Metal Moves! and this folks is the poison of religion. I have crystal clear understanding. 😉What a lot of dribble. To think this is what you think your life is about. Show yourself some respect and catch up to 2022. Pull your head out of the proverbial sand and love the natural world and not some hideous belittling ancient story full of hatred, sacrifice, murder, judgemental, slaughter, bloodshed, slave endorsing, homosexual hating and boy does the list go on………… would you go to a school of young children and stare them in the face and call them sinners? What type of belief is that!!!? Disgusting 🤮
I just imagine the pain they were still feeling even after being rescued. They lost their families, everything they loved and owned. They must have just felt dead inside.
@@GebbieFilms There was a lady who survived Auschwitz (may she rest in peace!) and immigrated to the US in the 50s. She started a food cupboard in my area in a very wealthy town partnered with Wegmans (an upscale supermarket in the eastern US). We miss you, Ursula!
What makes me sick is the way the term "Nazi" Is being watered down today. Seeing people who are in a war of words with one another, just for disagreeing with them they call their opponent a nazi. That should not be something watered down, that term is for the lowest of the low. The things those people did to their own people is disgusting.
I can’t imagine the impact treating those people had on those medics. As a former army medic myself, imagining providing compassionate care to those people, with true love and empathy for them, I probably would have cried in every private moment I would have had between caring for them.
I cried watching their faces in this film, you could see their facial expressions so clearly, and they are very different from ‘normal’ ones. There’s nothing worse in the world than human suffering inflicted by other humans.
I can’t imagine how these people were feeling. They were almost certainly facing death and were saved. But who is to say they didn’t lose half, if not most of their family in those places. Terrible. May those souls Rest In Peace ❤️
My grandmother did lose her extended family..aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, etc. Her parents made the trip to take their family to the United States before things got "bad". I reminded my children that the sacrifice of their ancestors is why they are alive today.
My Grandparents families reached the UK ( Scotland) before world war one. I learned about my Jewish heritage later in my life. It's sad how it was covered up for so long
As a teenager, when I discovered the horrors of pogroms and concentration camps, I started to have nightmares that lasted for years. The cruelty of humans is immeasurable. It is impossible to ignore that it manifests itself every day around the world, in many ways. It thrives when it is allowed or sponsored or ignored.
@@davidknichal6629 The Algerian War serves as a good example of the contemptible mindset that the Western world still held even in the 1960s. Or just think of Australia, where the Britiish treated Aboriginis even in the 1920s as animals and hunted them. The pictures look cruel but its basically anti-German propaganda in the light of the MANY atrocities and genocides the Americans and British commited. The Americans and British wiped out whole nations and in contrast to post war Germany ("Stunde Null") they still live in exactly the same states. Nowadays UK or USA are exactly the same states who commited all these many crimes.
@@g.f.w.6402 I am pretty well aware of British crimes they commited back at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries no fear. Britons are the only and true inventors of systematical annihilation but I understand that is too painful for them to acknowledge it. Germans only mastered this "invention"
Such big smiles from many of these women despite the horrific conditions they managed to survive. I'm glad that back then someone thought to document this on film so that we never forget.
@@merylbonderow5993 many haven’t forgotten. But, many others have. Look all around the world at how many countries are turning towards fascism. Even in the United States we can see large groups of people showing a complete disregard for their fellow citizens and are willing to do anything to get their way.
We are so used to know about the holocaust, see movies about holocaust and often it feels so abstract to us but when you see footage like this with actual people from those actual times... When you see that mix of happiness, sadness, tragedy, confusion it hits you hard, very hard! Good job you are doing with these videos!
The filming of these moments by the cameramen is extraordinary. I've never seen film coverage like this from so many different angles. And the colorization of the film makes these scenes even more moving and impactful.
This video is objectively one of the most important recolored videos I've ever seen. I truly think this should be shown at holocaust memorials because seeing it in color makes it seem more real, more recent, than watching in black and white. It's important that we never forget these events, and that we preserve the originals, but colorizing has enormous potential to show history as something more tangible than historic videos often are.
First do a good job of colorizing it. The colorization's terrible. Trucks, and men's shirts randomly changing colors. People's faces have tone one second then are white the next. It's an insult when compared to the gravity of what is being depicted.
@@DavianSinner it is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to colour videos, you're being disrespectful to everyone who put in their effort to bring colour to these very important videos and in turn insulting those in the videos
I just can’t watch videos like this without crying and thinking of all the horrible things these innocent people went through. Can you imagine being treated so horribly because of your religion? What these people went through were so horrible. I will never forget the impact it had on me in middle school when some holocaust survivors came and told us their stories. It really had a huge impact on me even at such a young age.
The jews weren't the only target of the nazis. More slavs were killed than jews. 12 milliom soviet citizens alone. They also targeted gays, roma, the mentally incompetent as well as other groups.
It wasn't because of religion. It was because of two failed communist revolutions in Germany. And people in Germany have seen how successful communist revolution in Russia lead to 20 million victims.
So told their tall tails? Did you hear the one where they went into the swimming pool? Or the Drama Theatre? Or how they went into a gas chamber that had a smoke stack was physically disconnected from the building and built by the Soviets? Perhaps she told you how the delousing chambers were covered in cyan blue, an indication of zyklon B, a delousing agent, while the "gas chambers" walls were bear.
The fact that these people experienced so much pain and torment and to see how some of them were still able to smile just brought tears to my eyes. They were tears of every emotion one could think of...
That's the question what are they smiling for? Maybe they were told to smile in front of camera? Knowing the history of propaganda it could be the case.
As a nursing student who is also considering a second bachelors in history.. video like this is powerful. Thank you for this work. Color brings life into the people shown here - no matter how uncomfortable, we are responsible to not let this happen to anybody again. Knowing the bad things that medical professionals have done against the victims here -it brings bittersweet comfort to see survivors being tended to with compassion and mercy
Imagine being the allies as these camps start to be liberated, realizing you can’t just send these people on their way. You have to find a way to get them medical care… urgently. And there are so many of them. They can’t have been prepared, at least not at first. What an undertaking, and I’m so proud that it appears to have been done with genuine compassion.
Also amazing how many US & British weapons had a malfunctioning safety that resulted in a Camp Guard bering shot..... And I don't blame them one bit!!!
After all the horror, atrocities and death, it's amazing that anyone could smile. I hope for those who had PTSD there would be lots of healing kindness and therapy. When I saw those who smiled, I imagine the thoughts of relief, gratitude and total joy of being rescued. Those soldiers and nurses were indeed angels.
Тоже самое с людьми делают сейчас украинские фашисты и весь запад делают вид , что ничего не происходит. Украинские фашисты пытают и массово расстреливают людей. Женщин , стариков , детей!!!

The face and eyes of the two women at around 5 minutes is absolutely heartbreaking, what have they been through and seen. I really hope they went on to have good lives.
This was well made. Some of the footage, like the footage of the girl in the thumbnail, and the girls sitting up to give the camera a smile, and some others were so clear and well done that it made it look modern.
That is why we have kodachromes. Everything isn't as black and white as B&W film and this horrid ai technique makes it seem to be. God I hate 1930's-1940's and 1950's home movies with AI putrization. So far from what it looks like.
I just got done reading Gerda Weissman's heartbreaking autobiogphy, "All But My Life". She writes about her experience as a young Jewish woman living in Poland through the war. She survived Auschwitz and the "death march". When she was rescued, she weighed 70 lbs. One of the American soldiers who cared for her eventually became her husband. I encourage everyone to read this book. We must never forget what happened.
@@MrSupernova111 Gerda was not at Auschwitz when it was liberated. She was sent on the “Death March”, where she was discovered in American-occupied Czechoslovakia.
Seeing a smile on some of their faces gave me tears of joy. To see someone try and restore a human being after being stripped down to nothing is beyond words..
My Grandpa serviced in WW2 in Germany.He’s gone to Heaven 18 years ago.I remember him disliking 4th of July fireworks.PTSD from it I’m sure.He saw his Best friend die there,the Nazis.May they all RIP!! Thank You for this in color.❤️
Your grandfather is a true hero for all mankind! Thanks to all allies around the world, from Germany! No words can do justice to the immense importance of their heroic deeds! May your grandpa and all heroes rest in paradise! They will never be forgotten!
Wow It’s crazy how much better they looked after just getting a little treatment and warm clothes and blankets and you can see in their eyes how thankful they were to be saved. I know not all survived but I am glad we got to help some….if it had only been one it was worth it all. I am so scared this could happen again and it’s terrifying.
It is happening again yet people aren’t catching on. The propaganda is here in all the media you enjoy. The wicked people are much more cunning this time. Did you take the needle? Haven’t you noticed all the young people dying suddenly? The scholarly papers are out there and available to find out the truth. We are being replaced by robots that look like us? We are going cashless? What if there is an error and they take all your money? What if you oppose the Govt? Think. Think.
It's called propaganda. It's designed to evoke these fuzzy feelings. Remember, the Americans KNEW about the concentration camps years before. They didn't attack or liberate the camps until they saw the Russians doing it.
I work for a 94 y old survivor. I always say, he is the history himself. When I arrive in the morning and say a " good morning, how are you? " he answers: " good morning, I am fine and I think I will never die :)
the colorization really makes it easy to almost mentally transport yourself back to those moments as if you’re the one either recording the footage or seeing it with your eyes…. as a jew this brought me to tears. beautiful work.
This is truly remarkable. Somehow the colorization makes it so much more relatable. As if we were watching this in real time rather than knowing that nearly all of these people are long gone by now. We need more of this.
The human spirit is absolutely incredible. There were many Holocaust survivors in my late grandmother’s neighborhood. The ones I met tended to be some of the kindest people, which amazed me.

Wow the Restoration is just amazing, especially in 1080P it's hard to imagine that this was filmed 82 years ago, hearing about stories from my grandfather born in 1946 tells about his Labors, sweats, struggles and naivette but in this film he is not been born yet. The people and adults in this film Have lived smoothly.
Many of those who survived physically, died on the inside. It returned to haunt them stronger, the older they got. Life long Health issues, especially depression. You're body and soul never gets over this kind of trauma. So in fact, a lot more perished in the Holocaust than we could ever grasp. I'm the third generation of survivors and also those, who didn't.
The look of horror on the US soldier's faces, the look of almost disbelieving hope and relief on the victims faces. It may be impossible to truly know what that intensity of feeling is like - and I hope I never have to find out personally.
Chi non ha memoria del passato non ha futuro. Grazie per il lavoro che fate. Whoever has no memory of the past has no future. Thanks for the work you do.
My great grandpa was a medic with the 188th airborne division in WW2 and was nicknamed "Doc". I couldn't fathom being kept in a camp worse than livestock just hoping another country is strong enough and cares enough to come help in time
Such a powerful reminder that each of those precious human beings who were murdered and so mistreated were just that... precious human beings. I can only imagine the trauma felt in each of these beautiful persons as they lay under a blanket, clean, safe, and wondering if they are in a dream.
As someone who has for decades read,watched and listened to the horrors of the Shoah,I am in awe of the impact of these clips.Colorization makes every scene look more current ,real and as a result more shocking.Thank you for your work
Thank you. So many of those that were rescued died. They were so far gone. But look at the smiles. For those that died, even under care, they were just happy to know they were free. No one knew how to feed people that had been that starved. It was a very difficult process, even when hunger came back, food had to be limited and simple.
These soldiers show compassionate and humanity to these survivors.. Although soldiers see so much destruction . I wonder how difficult it was for the soldiers to see horrific conditions of these people who survivor the nightmare...my heart goes out to the survivors ❤
It’s hard to believe anyone could have a shred of sanity left after what these people had gone through. I hope their lives got better and better after the war
@יונתן זנטון I can’t even imagine. I live in Connecticut, US and worked as a home care nurse. I did home health visits with a survivor who had her entire spare bedroom filled with food. She kept her curtains closed and rarely left her house. It was heartbreaking
Haunting, the colourisation and restoration makes the piece look like something that happened yesterday, and we need to be reminded that man's inhumanity to man is only a stone's throw away if we close our eyes to the lessons of history.
The look on a lot of their faces is truly heartbreaking. Thank God they were rescued but tragically a lot of their family, if not all, weren’t as lucky.
I've watched many documentaries on the holocaust but this was so powerful..the color in the film really brings it home..and seeing their beautiful smiles knowing they were finally safe was truly moving
there would be thousands of motivations and the triangle were: pink if gay, yellow for jew, brown for rom, violet Geova, red political(many many were just red), blue immigrats, green delinquents
The dark haired turban woman in the first scene looking right at the camera who's bed is to the right is haunting. She's looking at us through the camera almost into our soul. Terrifying. You can see she's been through so much terror.
I’m German and I feel terrible for what happened idk it just breaks my heart and even in days like this it sucks to get called a nazi sometimes I mean I’m 27 years old it sure as hell wasn’t this generations fault. However it is amazing to see it colorized and thank you for doing this! Absolutely amazing!
Same with being racist because you're white on USA, just ignorance... At least its freedom to be ignorant, think ignorant.. Buy But even your ancestors, hell even most the actual Nazis were against this personally, but like Russians now, you gdt brainwashed, used to it.. Speak up, run away, get shot, family might die as well
Germans just wanted food and liveable lives again, you guys fought Hitler, the night of a thousand knives was the beginning of the the end, noone else could stand up to him, without dying. Most under 30 Heck, 40 don't understand germans weren't Nazis, Nazis weren't ss, everyone was human, a few nuts in power, everyone had no choice , to live is to fight another day.. Most didnt know about death camps
The things those people had been through and seen. Can't imagine. The starvation, cold, torture, watching people be beaten and killed, forced to fight for scraps of food and loosing family left right and center. This footage is just the beginning of a long road to mental and physical recovery.
My grandfather was a medic in WW11, and after liberation day, when his tent was loaded with women and children, he walked up to a little girl, and said “jesteś bezpieczny”
I remember the absolute terror that Dwight D. eisenhower shared when he entered the body compartments. He came out pale as frost, stuttering, and giving immediate orders to the soldiers to evacuate the victims.
This is absolutely astonishing. Seeing this in colour makes it feel like a modern day news report or documentary. It really beings these survivors and victims back to life and gives you a sense of surrealism. They are so lucky to have been saved and taken care of.
This is absolutely heart breaking ... it makes me so sad and so angry all in the same breath. My next door neighbor who was in his mid 60's when I was a kid in Topeka Kansas in the mid 1980s, a very nice black man was bought in with a lot of other US black soldiers to help clean some of those camps up, body removal and he said the smell was the most terrible thing he experience and it was something he said he would never forget
Incredible footage restoration. What surprises me the most is seeing German POWs assisting the US Army in caring for the victims getting them to the hospital and such. Granted, they're most likely not the SS soldiers that ran the camps, and most Wehrmacht soldiers despised the SS and what they were doing to people, but to still see the victims allow some kind of German soldier remotely near them and assist them is just stunning.
I saw no SS uniforms just German regular military, I studied boy language/facial expressions as a LE Officer, I noticed the real concern and gentleness the young soldier who aided the sick older women exhibited, supporting her by the arm like he would his own grandmother. Most German soldiers heard the stories but could not imagine how bad it really was and had no ability to end the nightmare.
This needs billions more views. What a powerful and beautiful glimpse of the fruit of a generation bent on overcoming the evils they saw imposing itself with a depravity of heart and soul that's incomprehensible. 🙏🙏
This one breaks my heart. My grandfather fought in the Polish Army and then the Red Army, he ended the war in the Sudetes, in Czechoslovakia. And he did not do this so that the heirs of this victory would so ineptly dispose of it. Peace and goodness to all. I hug everyone from Belarus.
This is unbelievable quality and restoration. The content is even more haunting than in it's original form(if thats possible). To think there are still vile people who deny this ever happening. WATCH THIS FILM AND SHARE IT.
@@bulgariannationalist5719 They are definitely POWs, but what I wonder is if they were already medics, were they forced to help, or did they volunteer for to help.
This is so terrifying to see what human can do. And it's even more horrible to see that it still happen. We never learn. Seeing those faces, those eyes, painting the horror they've been through. How can you mentally survive this, is this even possible?
My great uncle Glenn fought in Africa, Italy, France, and Germany. He was the first wave on Omaha Beach. He would talk about these journey, no problem. Expect for two things. The Battle of the Bulge he would stumble through, trying not to cry. He said he would rather go through D Day 100 times then to go through the Bulge. Then you would ask him about the concentration camps. He would shake his head, and get all choked up. He said he couldn't tell. For he did not want to relive it.
Imagine being one of these soldiers and knowing there are some crazy people out there who claim that none of these terrible things happened. I wonder how they would feel having seen it with their own eyes. Thankfully we have this footage to show the truth of those terrible times.
We all have to make sure that this never happens again , what these beautiful people had to go through must have been horrific , it is sad that we still have so much hate in this world. God bless everyone who was in the holocaust , I hope you had a chance to live a good life after the war was over, and to the men and women in the US ARMY and the RED CROSS , thank you for taking care of them.❤🇨🇦.
Both heartbreaking and joyous at the same time. One can only imagine the horrors they endured. Footage like this is important and should be seen by all.
What a haunting thing to see. I can't even begin to imagine what they must have been feeling, having survived such horrors but many if not all of their family were not so lucky. No doubt the hardest part was rebuilding their lives and the PTSD that persisted decades after
My grandfather fought in the First Canadian Division during World War 2 and was involved in the invasion of Sicily. He never talked about the war. What humanity is capable of is shocking. What a piece of work is man.
My God.... This looks as if it was made yesterday... I... I... You can just really FEEL the victim's shock and pain.... And that restored glimmer of hope in their eyes thinking: "I am saved! I'm out!" I'm so glad to bear witness to this important piece of history captured.
@Poisson4147 I think it's something in the water. It has to be. They are praising bin laden too. I'm just waiting for them to glorify the evil man responsible for the atrocities in his video. They already support the same ideology in supporting Hamas
The part from 4:50 - 5:00 hits different for me. These people went through literal hell for years, and to see them smiling with that angelic sparkling in their eyes really tugs on my heart strings.
They found one of my grandmother's brothers like that. He was laying with the dead first until they noticed he was still alive. He survived 5 camps. After the war he got killed in a motorcycle accident.
Hello.... That story is.... tragic. My grandfather fled from the Nazi Germany in 1938, he was from Berlin, he knew what was going on. He didn't want to join the army and kill. He married my grandmother in Argentina. I was born there. Now, I live in Germany, where he just couldn't come back (too old, all friends already dead....get the image?). And I ride motorcycles since I was 8.... And I was close to death many times (2 times really really close....). We don't know each other, but your comment somehow triggered me..... Thanks. Peace.
@@horsthinze4048 Great story to hear. Those were different times, yes. My grandmother's husband, my grandfather, got executed by german soldiers in our town in '45 after he went to a café. Nobody knows exactly why they killed him. All we know there were german soldiers in the café too and when they left they killed him together with 2 other random civilians from our town.
Power, guns, brainwash, fear.... manipulation...all that and more like that makes people do stupid things. To take the life of someone else, just like that..... it's sick. But that didn't change a thing at all. And that's really sad.... that's happening now, all around the world. Better not to think a lot about it Always follow your guts and your heart.

“You who live safe In your warm houses, You who find warm food And friendly faces when you return home. Consider if this is a man Who works in mud, Who knows no peace, Who fights for a crust of bread, Who dies by a yes or no. Consider if this is a woman Without hair, without name, Without the strength to remember, Empty are her eyes, cold her womb, Like a frog in winter. Never forget that this has happened. Remember these words. Engrave them in your hearts, When at home or in the street, When lying down, when getting up. Repeat them to your children. Or may your houses be destroyed, May illness strike you down, May your offspring turn their faces from you.” ― Primo Levi, Survival in Auschwitz
I am literally crying right now. We always hear about the liberations of the camps, but very few things are know about how they got back home, or could actually get out of the camp. They could hardly walk… A good friend of mine told me a couple of weeks ago that her mom, a camp survivor and now in her 90’s, still is afraid of showers and blatantly refuses to go in it. I will share this movie. It has to be shared. It can not happen again…
The treatment by the Russians against the Ukrainians, adult and child, is no different than that by the NAZIs. The Polish, after being aware of the Russian slaughter of 20,000 of their Polish soldiers in 1939, and the violence, suppression of thought and Catholicism in the 50's-80's, leave them furious to this day. They want to punish the Russians in their blind rage to take revenge. I bet that most of them would kill every Russian they could encounter in Russian held Ukraine, and beyond.
I wonder if they thought it really was over when they were liberated or if they had gone to the other side. Thank you for sharing this powerful primary source that reminds us of the horrors of what humans can do to each other.
My grandmorhers brothers wife was a prisoner in Auschwitz and she was the only one in her family to survive. So important to keep talking about this so it will never be forgotten.

@@shaunsteele8244 I`m born in 1993 you are exactly right
Still people that experienced it first hand alive, it's easy to forget sometimes.
My Uncles Aunt, Joyce Richardson, was attached to the British 11th Armoured Division as a nurse when they liberated Belsen. More than 60,000 prisoners were still barely alive on the day that they were freed with 13,000 bodies in the camp. Many of the soldiers gave the concentration camp inmates food from their rations and a scores died as their bodies could not cope with what they had had so little of for so long. She stopped the soldiers handing out the rations willy nilly and organised a proper feeding programme which probably saved many lives, of which we are very proud. She had also been at Dunkirk much earlier in the war, treating British and German wounded in a Church in the town. During the North African Campaign she demanded that a jeep stop so she could rescue a young German soldier who was laying beside his knocked out tank. She nursed him for a number of days, barely leaving his side, but as he was so badly injured he was repatriated back to his own lines and comrades. A German messenger, some days later, handed a letter over to the British which was addressed to Joyce at her unit. When she opened it she was flabbergasted as it was a personal thank you from no lesser a man than General Erwin Rommel, showinhg his appreciation of her care for his Panzer soldier as he had told everyone about her. Her fiance, a navigator, was killed when his Lancaster was shot down over Berlin in 1943 and she never married but trained as a physiotherapist and travelled the world for many years lecturing as well as practising. She was the youngest of 14 girls, her parents no doubt hoping for a boy at some time. She died aged 88 and she is, although no blood relative of mine, my heroine.
That would make such an interesting book or movie. She was quite heroic.
@@t.h.8475 My uncle, who himself passed away 3 years ago, pleaded with her to write a book but she always said that she was no more special than any one else who lived through WW2. She was the nicest person I have ever met. Her sister Mary (the 13th born) had learning difficulties and Joyce looked after her at home rather than having her placed into an institution which was then the norm. She looked after Mary for at least 30-35 years and yet she was the most jolly person you could meet. I hope one day, if their is anything after we kick off this mortal coil, to meet her again and explain just what she meant to me. I forgot to mention that she had refused to leave the wounded she had under her care at Dunkirk and, along with other nurses and doctors, was captured by the Germans. She was repatriated so she could nurse some severely wounded British soldiers who were sent back to the UK. A swap was done so that some badly wounded Germans who had been brought back to England went back to Germany at the same time. No matter how exciting my life may be, although so far that has not happened, it could never match what life threw at her or her generation. She was in the Queen Alexander's Imperial Military Nursing Service which was formed in 1902.
@@nickrobinson8339 you are so right about that generation. My stepdad lied about his age so he could join up really young right after Pearl Harbor. He ended up serving 20 years with the Airforce (it was previously known as the Army Air Corp). He went on to be deployed to Korea and served during Vietnam. My step grandfather fought in the Pacific. He experienced horrors no one would ever want to.. My paternal grandfather served during the war as well but I don't know anything about his service history. He died before I was born. The sheer grit it took for them to survive and then change to civilian life was nothing like people today. No whining or complaining, just doing.
@@t.h.8475 100% Agree. Respect for your families service. My father did 2 years compulsory National Service in the Royal Engineers and came out just before the Korean War just as his brother went in. His brother was in the Black Watch or Seaforth Highlanders, I cannot remember which. It was a Scottish Regiment but at that time it had many many Londoners in it, having recently recruited for some reason in East London. My uncle being one of them. He fought the Chinese and was wounded twice. His platoon was all but overrun and I believe he was only one of 6 out of 30 or so from the platoon to come home. He would never talk about the war and ,only just before he died, did he tell his wife about his luck and the fate of his friends. Their father, my grandfather, fought in the Essex Regiment in WW1 and was in the trenches for almost 4 years, also being wounded twice, once in 1915 by shrapnel and then in 1918 by a bullet in the leg. My fathers cousins, seven of them, all fought in WW2 and one of them was wounded in North Africa by an 88mm shell that killed most of his section. Another was so traumatised by what happened to him in Italy that he spent much of his life in and out of psychiatric hospitals. My Uncle Vic, married to the 7 brothers only sister, was on British aircraft carriers as a rear Bofors AA gunner and was the only member of his gun grew to survive when a Kamikaze smashed into the flight deck nearby. He used to say that he had fired tons of high explosive into the Pacific sky but only ever holed clouds.My parents were Londoners and had a few narrow escapes during the Blitz and later in 1944 when the V1 and V2 bombs were being targeted on the South-East of England. A stick of bombs obliterated a row of houses at the end of their road killing 24 people and wounding as many again. A factory a few streets away was hit that killed 71 women who worked making British Army uniforms. They are still both alive, in their early 90s, and love to talk of those times and I suppose I have just been immersed in all this history for as long as I can remember.

Although the colourisation process isn't a natural process it adds an element that makes it far more relatable to a species that sees and thinks in colour.
the really awful thing is that some of these people still might have died. Many, many people died after liberation. The whole Holocaust is beyond comprehension, but to have survived all of that only to die anyway is so haunting. I really hope that everyone in this video went on to have a full and healthy life
One tragic thing is that some former prisoners died from murder after liberation; many people still hated Jews, and there were cases of escapees being killed by people living in villages surrounding concentration camps. Truly horrific stuff
Tragic to have died after liberation, but I imagine, breathing free air at death's door is better than breathing stale oppressive concentration camp air. I hope that thought helps soften the sadness for you.

That should not be something watered down, that term is for the lowest of the low. The things those people did to their own people is disgusting.
I can’t imagine the impact treating those people had on those medics. As a former army medic myself, imagining providing compassionate care to those people, with true love and empathy for them, I probably would have cried in every private moment I would have had between caring for them.

The filming of these moments by the cameramen is extraordinary. I've never seen film coverage like this from so many different angles. And the colorization of the film makes these scenes even more moving and impactful.
This video is objectively one of the most important recolored videos I've ever seen. I truly think this should be shown at holocaust memorials because seeing it in color makes it seem more real, more recent, than watching in black and white. It's important that we never forget these events, and that we preserve the originals, but colorizing has enormous potential to show history as something more tangible than historic videos often are.
First do a good job of colorizing it. The colorization's terrible. Trucks, and men's shirts randomly changing colors. People's faces have tone one second then are white the next. It's an insult when compared to the gravity of what is being depicted.

Perhaps she told you how the delousing chambers were covered in cyan blue, an indication of zyklon B, a delousing agent, while the "gas chambers" walls were bear.
The fact that these people experienced so much pain and torment and to see how some of them were still able to smile just brought tears to my eyes. They were tears of every emotion one could think of...

Such a powerful reminder that each of those precious human beings who were murdered and so mistreated were just that... precious human beings. I can only imagine the trauma felt in each of these beautiful persons as they lay under a blanket, clean, safe, and wondering if they are in a dream.
As someone who has for decades read,watched and listened to the horrors of the Shoah,I am in awe of the impact of these clips.Colorization makes every scene look more current ,real and as a result more shocking.Thank you for your work
Thank you. So many of those that were rescued died. They were so far gone. But look at the smiles. For those that died, even under care, they were just happy to know they were free. No one knew how to feed people that had been that starved. It was a very difficult process, even when hunger came back, food had to be limited and simple.
It just breaks my heart to see all these poor innocent people and think about how they were treated.
These soldiers show compassionate and humanity to these survivors.. Although soldiers see so much destruction . I wonder how difficult it was for the soldiers to see horrific conditions of these people who survivor the nightmare...my heart goes out to the survivors ❤
Hello how are you doing?
It’s hard to believe anyone could have a shred of sanity left after what these people had gone through. I hope their lives got better and better after the war
@יונתן זנטון I can’t even imagine. I live in Connecticut, US and worked as a home care nurse. I did home health visits with a survivor who had her entire spare bedroom filled with food. She kept her curtains closed and rarely left her house. It was heartbreaking
Priceless tribute to, maybe the biggest tragedy in history (until now). Such a capital reminder in our troubled time...
Wow you truly worship you little hats overlords, don't you?
"biggest tragedy in history". What a joke
Biggest in history? Are you kidding? Stalin and Mao both killed MANY millions more than Hitler EVER dreamed of......
This took place in the twentieth century.
Editing these videos together and publishing them online is very important work. Well done to all involved. First class.
Haunting, the colourisation and restoration makes the piece look like something that happened yesterday, and we need to be reminded that man's inhumanity to man is only a stone's throw away if we close our eyes to the lessons of history.
The look on a lot of their faces is truly heartbreaking. Thank God they were rescued but tragically a lot of their family, if not all, weren’t as lucky.
17 of my family was murdered in the holocaust. Thank you for honoring their memory.
I've watched many documentaries on the holocaust but this was so powerful..the color in the film really brings it home..and seeing their beautiful smiles knowing they were finally safe was truly moving
there would be thousands of motivations and the triangle were: pink if gay, yellow for jew, brown for rom, violet Geova, red political(many many were just red), blue immigrats, green delinquents
The dark haired turban woman in the first scene looking right at the camera who's bed is to the right is haunting. She's looking at us through the camera almost into our soul. Terrifying. You can see she's been through so much terror.
Right
Should be retitled: “Typhus victims with spooky, maudlin music dubbed over for maximum propaganda”.
Keep the 7 Noahide commandments and leave Jews alone.
I’m German and I feel terrible for what happened idk it just breaks my heart and even in days like this it sucks to get called a nazi sometimes I mean I’m 27 years old it sure as hell wasn’t this generations fault. However it is amazing to see it colorized and thank you for doing this! Absolutely amazing!
You're not at fault for the actions of your ancestors
Same with being racist because you're white on USA, just ignorance... At least its freedom to be ignorant, think ignorant..
Buy But even your ancestors, hell even most the actual Nazis were against this personally, but like Russians now, you gdt brainwashed, used to it..
Speak up, run away, get shot, family might die as well
Germans just wanted food and liveable lives again, you guys fought Hitler, the night of a thousand knives was the beginning of the the end, noone else could stand up to him, without dying.
Most under 30 Heck, 40 don't understand germans weren't Nazis, Nazis weren't ss, everyone was human, a few nuts in power, everyone had no choice , to live is to fight another day.. Most didnt know about death camps
Moi aussi je suis allemande je 47 ans je comprends pas comment des gens s ont capable de faire ca
It's definitely nothing you should feel guilty about. But what's funny is that Germany still treats us, Poles, like their servants and colony.
The things those people had been through and seen. Can't imagine. The starvation, cold, torture, watching people be beaten and killed, forced to fight for scraps of food and loosing family left right and center. This footage is just the beginning of a long road to mental and physical recovery.
My grandfather was a medic in WW11, and after liberation day, when his tent was loaded with women and children, he walked up to a little girl, and said “jesteś bezpieczny”
What does that mean
I remember the absolute terror that Dwight D. eisenhower shared when he entered the body compartments. He came out pale as frost, stuttering, and giving immediate orders to the soldiers to evacuate the victims.
This is absolutely astonishing. Seeing this in colour makes it feel like a modern day news report or documentary. It really beings these survivors and victims back to life and gives you a sense of surrealism.
They are so lucky to have been saved and taken care of.
Should be required viewing in every U.S. High School and College.
And to think there are monsters who say this never never happened.
This is absolutely heart breaking ... it makes me so sad and so angry all in the same breath. My next door neighbor who was in his mid 60's when I was a kid in Topeka Kansas in the mid 1980s, a very nice black man was bought in with a lot of other US black soldiers to help clean some of those camps up, body removal and he said the smell was the most terrible thing he experience and it was something he said he would never forget
Ironic really. Don't you think?
@@juliaforsyth8332 what is ironic... Explain?
The relief felt at being safe must have been overwhelming. I loved how gentle and respectful the soldiers were. We must never forget.
Incredible footage restoration. What surprises me the most is seeing German POWs assisting the US Army in caring for the victims getting them to the hospital and such. Granted, they're most likely not the SS soldiers that ran the camps, and most Wehrmacht soldiers despised the SS and what they were doing to people, but to still see the victims allow some kind of German soldier remotely near them and assist them is just stunning.
I saw no SS uniforms just German regular military, I studied boy language/facial expressions as a LE Officer, I noticed the real concern and gentleness the young soldier who aided the sick older women exhibited, supporting her by the arm like he would his own grandmother. Most German soldiers heard the stories but could not imagine how bad it really was and had no ability to end the nightmare.
Yeah, not all Germans were Nazis, and not all Nazis were Germans. I would imagine a lot of the Wehrmacht soldiers had no idea what was going on.
Judging by the tabs on their uniform, they were Luftwaffe medics.
German POWs were probably not given a choice to help or not. But that one luftwaffe medic bloke looked more than happy to be helping people
@@juliaforsyth8332 Yes, I noticed the Luftwaffe emblem on their caps and blouses, and their collar patch.
This needs billions more views. What a powerful and beautiful glimpse of the fruit of a generation bent on overcoming the evils they saw imposing itself with a depravity of heart and soul that's incomprehensible. 🙏🙏
This one breaks my heart. My grandfather fought in the Polish Army and then the Red Army, he ended the war in the Sudetes, in Czechoslovakia. And he did not do this so that the heirs of this victory would so ineptly dispose of it. Peace and goodness to all. I hug everyone from Belarus.
This is unbelievable quality and restoration. The content is even more haunting than in it's original form(if thats possible). To think there are still vile people who deny this ever happening.
WATCH THIS FILM AND SHARE IT.
Is it possible to share what is happening in Palestine now?
People also
suffer because of religion, race and apartheid because they are Palestinian
There are people who deny what is happening in Palestine despite the presence of the latest technology in the 21st century
I really like the trucks randomly changing color. Great work.
4:38 It shows German Luftwaffe soldiers helping victims, not US troops, as the title says. You can see the eagle on their uniforms.
It’s a mix of both I believe
Us on the vehicles
@@Thenextperson Most likely they are POWs
@@bulgariannationalist5719 They are definitely POWs, but what I wonder is if they were already medics, were they forced to help, or did they volunteer for to help.
@@mattkaustickomments A good people
This is so terrifying to see what human can do. And it's even more horrible to see that it still happen. We never learn.
Seeing those faces, those eyes, painting the horror they've been through. How can you mentally survive this, is this even possible?
Imagine being one of the soldiers who was part of these camp liberations. The sights and smells would never leave your soul.
My great uncle Glenn fought in Africa, Italy, France, and Germany. He was the first wave on Omaha Beach. He would talk about these journey, no problem. Expect for two things. The Battle of the Bulge he would stumble through, trying not to cry. He said he would rather go through D Day 100 times then to go through the Bulge.
Then you would ask him about the concentration camps. He would shake his head, and get all choked up. He said he couldn't tell. For he did not want to relive it.
Imagine being one of these soldiers and knowing there are some crazy people out there who claim that none of these terrible things happened. I wonder how they would feel having seen it with their own eyes. Thankfully we have this footage to show the truth of those terrible times.
This is a very important part of history. Thank you for all you do for us. We appreciate you and your channel.
Nowhere was the line ever clearer between the 'good guys' and the 'bad guys' than in WW2.
At 4:55, glimmer of hope in the little girls eye is stunning. I hope she had a long loving and productive life.
I dont know what i see there 5:47 in the eyes
We all have to make sure that this never happens again , what these beautiful people had to go through must have been horrific , it is sad that we still have so much hate in this world. God bless everyone who was in the holocaust , I hope you had a chance to live a good life after the war was over, and to the men and women in the US ARMY and the RED CROSS , thank you for taking care of them.❤🇨🇦.
A lot of them didn't survive although they were rescued...
Both heartbreaking and joyous at the same time. One can only imagine the horrors they endured. Footage like this is important and should be seen by all.
What a haunting thing to see. I can't even begin to imagine what they must have been feeling, having survived such horrors but many if not all of their family were not so lucky. No doubt the hardest part was rebuilding their lives and the PTSD that persisted decades after
First relief, then the tsunami waves of survivor's guilt must have driven so many to unimaginable pain and sorrow.
My grandfather fought in the First Canadian Division during World War 2 and was involved in the invasion of Sicily. He never talked about the war. What humanity is capable of is shocking. What a piece of work is man.
Diese bewegenden Bilder treiben mir die Tränen in die Augen....Was war das für eine schreckliche Zeit......
Твои предки творили такое фашисты
Mir geht es genauso. Was haben wir Deutschen nur getan.
My God.... This looks as if it was made yesterday... I... I... You can just really FEEL the victim's shock and pain.... And that restored glimmer of hope in their eyes thinking: "I am saved! I'm out!" I'm so glad to bear witness to this important piece of history captured.
"Made yesterday"😆 Yeah, if it were recorded on an old, beat-up VHS camcorder from 1980.
I still can't believe there are people who deny this happened at all
They’re already on this thread. How can people be so blind and hateful???
@Poisson4147 I think it's something in the water. It has to be. They are praising bin laden too. I'm just waiting for them to glorify the evil man responsible for the atrocities in his video. They already support the same ideology in supporting Hamas
One of the first victims, the young woman with the lovely gray eyes, she said thank you to the camera.
In English, no less. Touching.
0:20
Preserving this footage is extremely important. Thanks!
One of the most powerful videos I've ever seen on RUclips. Thank you.
The part from 4:50 - 5:00 hits different for me. These people went through literal hell for years, and to see them smiling with that angelic sparkling in their eyes really tugs on my heart strings.
They found one of my grandmother's brothers like that. He was laying with the dead first until they noticed he was still alive. He survived 5 camps. After the war he got killed in a motorcycle accident.
Hello....
That story is.... tragic.
My grandfather fled from the Nazi Germany in 1938, he was from Berlin, he knew what was going on.
He didn't want to join the army and kill.
He married my grandmother in Argentina.
I was born there.
Now, I live in Germany, where he just couldn't come back (too old, all friends already dead....get the image?).
And I ride motorcycles since I was 8....
And I was close to death many times (2 times really really close....).
We don't know each other, but your comment somehow triggered me.....
Thanks.
Peace.
@@horsthinze4048 Great story to hear. Those were different times, yes. My grandmother's husband, my grandfather, got executed by german soldiers in our town in '45 after he went to a café. Nobody knows exactly why they killed him. All we know there were german soldiers in the café too and when they left they killed him together with 2 other random civilians from our town.
Power, guns, brainwash, fear.... manipulation...all that and more like that makes people do stupid things.
To take the life of someone else, just like that..... it's sick.
But that didn't change a thing at all.
And that's really sad.... that's happening now, all around the world.
Better not to think a lot about it
Always follow your guts and your heart.
That's the right thing to do.
Peace.
I hope each of these poor ladies recovered and moved on to a good life. ❤️❤️
Ladies? Just about the ladies? What about the innocent men and children in this video??
Please don't let this happen again. Please don't let this EVER happen again...
“Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses -because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.”
― Dwight D. Eisenhower
He wasn't wrong was he?
“You who live safe
In your warm houses,
You who find warm food
And friendly faces when you return home.
Consider if this is a man
Who works in mud,
Who knows no peace,
Who fights for a crust of bread,
Who dies by a yes or no.
Consider if this is a woman
Without hair, without name,
Without the strength to remember,
Empty are her eyes, cold her womb,
Like a frog in winter.
Never forget that this has happened.
Remember these words.
Engrave them in your hearts,
When at home or in the street,
When lying down, when getting up.
Repeat them to your children.
Or may your houses be destroyed,
May illness strike you down,
May your offspring turn their faces from you.”
― Primo Levi, Survival in Auschwitz
I am literally crying right now. We always hear about the liberations of the camps, but very few things are know about how they got back home, or could actually get out of the camp. They could hardly walk… A good friend of mine told me a couple of weeks ago that her mom, a camp survivor and now in her 90’s, still is afraid of showers and blatantly refuses to go in it. I will share this movie. It has to be shared. It can not happen again…
I'll take "things that never happened" for $1,000
The treatment by the Russians against the Ukrainians, adult and child, is no different than that by the NAZIs. The Polish, after being aware of the Russian slaughter of 20,000 of their Polish soldiers in 1939, and the violence, suppression of thought and Catholicism in the 50's-80's, leave them furious to this day. They want to punish the Russians in their blind rage to take revenge. I bet that most of them would kill every Russian they could encounter in Russian held Ukraine, and beyond.
I wonder if they thought it really was over when they were liberated or if they had gone to the other side. Thank you for sharing this powerful primary source that reminds us of the horrors of what humans can do to each other.
I was deeply moved by their faces, eyes...and those rescuing them. God bless us all.
My grandmorhers brothers wife was a prisoner in Auschwitz and she was the only one in her family to survive. So important to keep talking about this so it will never be forgotten.
