Mr Gabbai lived until March 2020. He was such a lovely, gentle, sweet man. The horrors he witnessed and endured are more than most could have survived. He would have be right to hate, but he chose to love. He was loved and respected for his dignity. I have seen this interview many times, and many additional interviews to watch and read. I would encourage all who see this to search for more on this very special man. May his memory be a blessing.
it really is as society tries to whitewash over it sanitizing the horror of the time by blurring and banning sharing or viewing of it. no wonder we keep doing it people do not see really see what happens and listen to any teen killer almost every one regrets it after seeing it it aint hollywood
His was the most detailed, and I am sure the truest account of what he went through and saw, and forced to do, throughout his grueling time as a Holocaust prisoner. Bless his time and long life he was able to survive and live as a free man. May his soul rest in peace.
@@Historia.DFG. 2 hours interview and "everything he says doesn't make sense" to you?!? Well, it makes sense to everybody else. This is not a history lesson for uneducated people, bro.
He mentioned Otto Moll at 48:00 this man was a monster inmates called him cyclops because he had a glass eye. At least his victims got justice in the end he showed up at Dachau one day before the camp was liberated. He was convicted at the Dachau trails and hanged in 1946.
I’ve viewed many of these testimonies. They always stay with me. Unimaginable horrors. The Jewish people suffered in every way. 🇮🇱🇮🇱We stand with Israel 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
What a wonderful interviewer. She tried so hard to get the details! And what horrible details this man was recounting. This is the first survivor I've heard give a testimony about this job at the crematorium.
I understand the need to document details of this atrocity but is so painful to hear “let’s take you back and step by step” repeated. The interviewer is so incredibly invasive and pushing on an incredible trauma. This man I have no words for the strength and humanity he was able to hold on too 😮 ❤
Kelly, I do understand what you’re saying, but remember why these interviews were made. They were made for future generations to hear the reality of what happened. Fact, and the documents recovered support Mr Gabbai’s memory, that cause emotional response now will be imperative once there are no survivors left. Many of these witnesses said little-or-nothing for decades, although wanting to tell their realities. These same people understand the tremendous importance their testimonies have, and will have, as more generations come and go.
They probably warned him ahead of time. There was going to be tough questions but... I can't imagine going through that again of remembering. But the poor man probably always thought about it anyway:/
WTH are you even talking about?!?? The survivors of The Holocaust know as well as this man that their story is the only way to (hopefully) prevent this from happening again. This is history. He's not being blind-sided by any questions that he wasn't aware of going into this interview.
@@kellyreilly-robinson2130 I like how you presented this statement. Powerful thoughts. Twitter has so many holocaust deniers and minimisers; it’s enough to make me sick. Now that so few witnesses remain, these narratives have become even more important, do you agree?
Hard to imagine this horrible job!! He must have had so many nightmares from this time after the war. Rest in peace Dario and thank you for your testimony!
His elder brother Yaacov is interviewed in Gideon Greif's book "Wir weinten tränenlos.." This contains interviews with Sonderkommando survivors. At the time of that interview, younger brother Dario still could not speak about the past. It takes immense courage to decide to speak out, finally, so late in his life, in this interview.
The self-preservation instinct is what helped him to continue living the horror he never thought of! Thank you for your testimony and for your dissemination work, hearing your experiences from your own voice makes my heart shrink and makes me ashamed of what the human condition is capable of.
Im Greek Italian, and I just found out after my DNA test, that I have Askenazy , And Mishrahi Jewish line of relatives the 1800 from Spain and Eastern Europe. I can't describe how I feel right now about this man's life experience. He is a survivor ... Im sorry he had to go through this hell. No one in this world must go through this kind of tragic experience. Very soon God will stop suffering....
I want to thank you for sharing your story. I read many holocaust survivor stories. I will never understand what kind of human beings could do this to human beings. These people they had their small possessions, their dignity everything was taken from them just to be cast down. Why I ask myself why Well God knows thank you for your story
BDH Hero. I admire your courage and dignity in such a hard environment. I would like to add that kapo Kaminski survived the war. He was a very good man too.
Whomever has finance power is able to tell their story. I think Gypsies today are no different than 80 yrs ago , only difference is that nobody sees killing civilians profitable except Israeli doing that to Palestians
The language on the stone at the top right is in Yiddish - קיינמאל מער - Never again! So the languages on the right are Yiddish, Russian, English, French, German, and Polish on the left.
You could tell he was having a ptsd anxiety attack talking about it. Dry mouth. Sweat. They should have taken a break and given him some water and time to cope with retelling the most horrific thing that can happen to a human being
56:40 Putting women who had more fat on the outside than men, to burn the bones....... that does'nt sound right? More body weight means more fluid does'nt it? Fluid here being water. I am missing something here? Can anyone help here please?
@@sabreecarpenter4285 Someone told me that these were not industrial furnaces as cremating more than one body was not allowed, as is the case today. How did that work with four if there is only one metal stretcher on wheels to put them in at 1500 degree F?
"what exactly"...is there not a more gentle way of asking? There is such insensitivity in that relentless desire for sometimes useless precision. I wonder if those interviewers were trained before the interview.
This chap admits to helping kill tens of thousands of people under orders to do so, as did many Nazis who said had they disobeyed they'd have been shot. Interesting moral case, one of course has sympathies for his situation.
@@Vacherie.de.vacherie Apparently no humans have choices, an illusion. One can argue if someone helps make a gun then they are also guilty of murder. We end up with all Non Vegans 'cause' war type arguments.
@@user-sc3ts6lf8r So follow through for once explain why he knows nothing tell him your brilliant answer. See you always condemn without giving your view.
He has a very selective memory. I appreciate his will to survive but his complicity in so many deaths is reprehensible. He was part of the final solution.
I get what your saying but don’t judge. None of us know what we would do to survive, one must shut down become emotionally void to survive a situation like that.

Respect for this man, i salute him, May he rest i peace 🌹
Wow he looks so good here for being in his 70's
RIP
He was a very handsome guy like all in his family.
I'm so grateful these testimonies are recorded. Horrifying, yet so important.
Yes, because when you compare his telling to reality could you find that a lot of what he says was actually scientifically impossible.
@melodyharpole8272 where you there?
Whether something is scientifically possible or impossible, doesn't change based on my feelings or yours.

Thank you, @Blastman8888
I had not known if this Moll monster.
Because if your info, I am not going to read about him.
and it wasnt even for the crimes committed at Aushwitz but Dachau
He was hanged at Landsberg prison in 1952 and is buried there in an unmarked grave.
the mans strength is amazing you can see how hard it is to talk about yet he maintains his composure
Thank you for your testimony Dario. Rest with God at peace🙏

Though some may find the interview style harsh or invasive, it is important to document as many details as possible, both mundane and horrific.

Wow, thank you!
No wonder they wanted him to be in the movies! He was Hollywood material.
Thank you for sharing your story.

He looks so good for 74 and for all he’s been through. A very attractive man.

Thanks for your contribution to this project Mr. Gabbai, despite the questioning not always relevant to what really needs to be said,
My darling - all my love to you . I cry with you and admire you xxxxxxxxx

Rest in eternal peace Mr. Gabbai
Interesting that Mr. Gabbai has a distinctive Italian accent while Mr Venezia’s accent is Greek.
I noticed that too. And he spoke so many languages, he was a very bright person.
What an amazing man.

Another man who also gave his testimony said the woman would always be placed in the middle. They had more body fat which helped the fire continue.

The jewish people will always survive. They have survived many persécutions through the centuries. God knows God sees.
@@dominiquerivero6611 There are no God/s. Grow up. Thankfully most folks I know who are labelled as or even identify as ''Jewish'' are Atheists!
No, he admits to have worked to survive. Everyone today working in the gun industry helps to kill people, by choice, he didn’t have a choice.
