Imagine not only Voldemort being only your second most evil character portrayed, but the most evil character you played is the *tamer* version of the real person you're portraying
I mean if we're imagining HP as real life Voldermort is Hitlers 's equivalent. The whole HP storyline concerning pure bloods is based on Nazi Germany so funnily the roles have their similarities.
@@charliecatesby3346it’s also accurate. Voldemort was a half blood who sought to destroy any non pure blood. Just like Hitler who had partial Jewish blood sought to destroy all non pure Germans.
Goth is often used as a psychology model because his brutality came hand in hand with the permissiveness he was given. If placed in a situation where he cannot act brutally, he doesn't act brutally and place in a situation where his brutality can be unbounded then his brutality knew no end.
Unhinged or not, he was a monster. I read that during the filming of Schindlers List, because Ralph Fiennes captured and portrayed his sadistic character so Brilliantly, the Plaszkow survivors that were extras were terrified of him. One poor woman would shake uncontrollably every time she saw him. He felt terrible he traumatized these poor people all over again
Ralph Fiennes as Goeth reminds me of Margaret Hamilton who played the Wicked Witch of the West. One of the most infamous villains in the history of film making. She loved children. She once taught kindergarten. It tormented her that she scared the daylights out of children.
Ralph Fiennes didn't win the Oscar because the Academy wasn't going to award an actor playing an evil war criminal ,When making "Schindler's list " I read somewhere that Spielberg got angry with him because he played the role so real, But if you're playing an evil Nazi war criminal you can't show kindness or Humanity . Liam Neeson also should have won an Oscar.
On his birthday in 1943, Göth ordered Natalia Karp, who had just arrived in Płaszów, to play the piano. Karp performed Frédéric Chopin's Nocturne in C-sharp minor so well that Göth allowed her and her sister to live.
It's a cool anecdote, but imagine deciding to murder people or not based on their ability to play piano. She played it perfectly, but the piano was a little off tune from transporting it. " I'm just going to annihilate this human and her family from existence. " or " Great job that was beautiful. I was going to have Henry here shoot you in the head, but that was so pretty I'm going to allow you to live. What's for breakfast? Is anyone else hungry?" This story has lived on for 80 years; it was so incredible, but that was just a Thursday morning to that guy. That really amazes me. That level of psychopathic behavior is terrifying
I was treated very badly by my so called late parents and my one and only sibling, a brother 12 years my senior. I was kept like a prisoner, made to constantly do housework, and called horrid names on a daily basis. When i became a teenager, i was not still not allowed to go out or to wear make up and fashionable clothes. I soon became, from an early age, a target for all of the neighbouring kids and the kids at school, for being in their words, "weird and stupid" ........... When i reached the age of 18, i left their house and their town, and went to the opposite side of the country to live, never to see any of em again! I am now 60 years old with no happy memories at all and a very nervous personality. I have become a recluse with an eating disorder and other mental heath issues, but guess what??? ..... I have never, ever, had a compulsion to go around killing people, so i really do not have much sympathy for this man. Sorry! ....

Yup . . . I just answered my own question. This is DEFINITELY a computer voice . . . don't waste your fucking time. Christ, the depths these idiots go to . . . I'll BET there are 100,000 people with great voices who would jump at the chance to narrate a video. It doesn't matter how professional they sound-it's gonna be BETTER THAN A FUCKING COMPUTER. Just you watch-soon RUclips is going to be overrun by these "Fakumentaries" (I said it first!)
Ralph Fiennes played him so chillingly that real life survivors on the set were apprehensive about shaking his hand. He even gained weight for the role. Left me chilled and those eyes of his 😱😳😨
Göth is the prototype of the highly educated Nazi. In reference to this and to the movie Schindlers List, when the ghetto is being destroyed, one particular scene accentuates the fact that they did not care nor did they have any feelings of guilt. An officer starts playing the piano in the middle of the destruction of the people living there. Two soldiers ask the man if he is playing Bach or Mozart as if nothing special is going on around them. It was just a job for most of the Nazis and SS members. I do not want to give Göth the benefit of considering the posibility of being mentally ill and subsequently becoming one of those who is excused. He was very aware of his doings as by far most of the SS officers and military were. These are not sociopaths or psychopaths. This kind of people do live among us, and are living a life like most of us do. They will show their real mentality in situations such as a war. It could be anyone, even you who did just read these lines.
I refuse to belive that he is not sociopath or psychopath. My brain can't accept that somebody who is not mentally ill is capable to do that magnitude of evil without regret.
@@mikegrizzly4188 No, his history is very well known. Both from written historical records kept by the Gestpo and from witnesses on both sides. Mentally ill? I think Millgram's experiments showed that people will conform to total psychopath type behavior given orders and most importantly, a promise that _you_ do not have to take responsibility for your actions. Stanford prison experiments shows how long normal people can turn into monsters very quickly given the right situation. I think Gothe was just another idiot with a uniform a gun and a promise of no recorse.
One of the best performances of all time. Unlike Longshanks I actually pittied Goth in the movie. Fiennes made him look so emotinally bankrupt that when Oscar sugessted he pardon people you breifly saw humanity behind the monster and you wanted him to succeed.
Apparently his appearance almost caused an extra (an elderly Holocaust survivor) to have a heart attack. She was convinced Fiennes actually *was* Göth.
Schindler was a fraud. His wife condemned him in a South American newspaper cover story about 20 years ago, then cashed in by writing a book about him.
In 2015 I visited Auschwitz-Birkenau, Schindler's factory & the site of the camp at Plaszow. Watching a doco or reading about these places hardly prepares you for what it's like to stand in the spot where millions were killed. Everyone should visit & we should learn never again.
Amazing work! Thank you for putting this out. You invested so much time into your research and it shows. I used to watch another RUclips channel for documentaries but that particular gentleman didn't like being called out when he got information wrong. (A certain documentary of theirs was chalked full of errors. I worked in the field they were covering and I sent them many messages with corrections. They deleted my responses and reported me for harassment.) I will now come to your channel for my documentaries...yours are done much better. Keep up the great work.
While filming some of the survivers of the camp were present to help Spielberg with authentication. During this one a women was introduced to Ralph Fiennes while he was in uniform and on set, and naturally in the role, the experience overcame her, as he had she said resembled the man so well, it made her afraid. And when I think Brad Pitt was given an Oscar for his part in once upon a time in Hollywood, which was a crap film, and Pitt was crap, and Ralph Fiennes getting nothing, shows how the Oscars are to me a set up.
I remember reading about how Ralph Fiennes was dressed up as Goth on the set of Schindler's List and one of the Schindlerjuden saw him and was absolutely terrified that Goth had returned from the dead.
In his words it almost destroyed him, seeing the Schindlerjuden's reaction. It was one of the many reasons and encounters that he took a lot of time off, for an actor that achieved international recognition overnight, from acting.
Wowzers!!! I did not Know That!!! :0 But I do know that in an early 1920 Census, in America. There was only 200k, of us left, due to the American Government Policy, of Extermination, of the American Indian. Yikersz!!! So I am very Interested, in Historical Facts, about WW2 Holocaust!!! I think in the Beginning of the 1600's, there was about 140 million Injuns across Northern American Continent.
@@miketalas7998 The largest genocide ever committed was that against the Native Americans. It is approximated that over the years over 150 million were killed.
The funny thing that is unfortunately not mentioned here is that Amon Göth has a granddaughter who is black. Her name is Jennifer Teege and she has his undeniable facial features. She wrote a book called -My grandfather would have shot me-
she doesn't look like him!! She looks just like a very typical black woman with thick lips and prominent jaw😂, haha where is the resemblance? You certainly have to be very careful when engaging to someone
This documentary was one of the finest I have watched on any topic. Well researched and with a rich array of relevant video and images. It mostly covered facts but the commentary was insightful and prudent. Kudo's to all your creators! Subscribed.
Very well done. Goeth's life shows how easily a person, in search of meaning, can get caught up in previously unimaginable evil. As armchair moralists we sit in judgement of these men. Had we lived in post-Versailles Germany or Austria, it could well have been us.
My Father Heinrich.and my grandfather Friedrich..were in the German military...what you say is true it was different times....hard time...and now we are in 2022 and we have not learn anything..the future is not looking good...😭💀
@@Doogydoog Because the circumstances gave rise to opportunist and gave the freedom to act like the animals they were. Nobody to really answer to and indeed actively encouraged.
I would love to agree with you but living in in Germany and knowing Germans not Jews but Germans who missed the death Chambers by only minutes the reason why is because they refuse to go along with the program so just like here in America we have those right-wing fascists who get caught up you know and what one must say misguided Direction I mean that's the great excuse we could use yeah it's all a trip though blessings for documentaries like this stay safe in the world for the chaos
I had no idea Austria had an anti-Nazi stance. What I remember learning in school was that a) Hitler was born there and b) that the Anschluss was virtually painless so I assumed that Austria just welcomed the Nazis with open arms. This is the first time I've heard that Nazism was illegal there for a time and there were politicians who were totally against it. Weird.
Interesting. Before and after WWII Austria made Jews "donate" art to the Belvedere Museum in exchange for exit visas. Look into Woman in Gold painting owned by a Jewish family (stolen by Austrian govt) and their fight to get the art back. Antisemitism in Austria was systemic.
The man who succeeded the assassinated Austrian PM Dolfuss mentioned in this documentary was Schuschnig who countered the Nazis and ended up in Dachau. Luckily, his life and that of his family, who were imprisoned with him, were saved by a German Wehrmacht colonel who was a fellow-prisoner for being against Hitler.
Very well narrated with spot on pronunciation of rather difficult place names . An unredeemable character . It is quite striking how many of the perpetrators of war crimes were in fact Austrian . Austria was indeed very lucky to have bargained itself out of the grip of the Eastern Block pact post war by remaining neutral .
WTF ? It is terrible narration. I could only watch the first four minutes of this. It sounds "computerised", as if the original narration was a different language and a computer has translated it. The sentences are all broken - in tone, pitch and tempo. It is definitely not an English speaking human talking naturally.
@@simonrisley2177 If you speak of the FPÖ, the Freedom Party, I support them and also the AfD. You say they are right wing and imply that they have something to do with the nationalsocialists, but they were left wing, as the word socialist says. They were also a workers party, also left wing. Today only the AfD and the FPÖ stands for freedom, all other parties in Germany and Austria stay for vax and mask mandates and remove our freedom, especially the left wing parties.
@@Greyhound0111 Try "Europa The Last Battle" .. basically the bible in WW2 truth along with "The Greatest Story Never Told" and a supplement is "Communism by the back door". The are way way way more truth and precise ! and non biased ..
Can we now have another based on the symilarites between Amon Goethe and Bibi Netanyahu please. Both ordered the murdering of thousands of innocent people. Both were meniacle sadists. Both boasted of his exploits.
The only reason Fienne didn't get the Oscar was because he played Göth so well that people feared he would thank Adolf Hitler in his Oscar acceptance speech.
Anyone who had been wanted for terrorist activities in Austria, moving constantly across the border, joining a SA and later the SS, doesn't sound like someone just wanting to fight for the "Fatherland". Plus his treatment of the prisoners was terrible. You should read the book about Schlinder's life where it goes into more detail of what it took to deal with Goeth.
I've been to the site a number of times. The liquidation scene where the little boy hides in the 'toilet' I'm in contact with the original victim. He has a book ' A lasting legacy' by Johnny Jablon, he's a lovely kind man. He speaks about this horrible cruel individual. His whole family was shipped off to Belzec.
So as a fan I understand stand adds and paid promotions. But I absolutely find they break the flow of the videos. If I could buy the episodes without any adds I absolutely would. I love the videos keep em coming
Goeth was an opportunist with a streak of grandeur over the prisoners he oversaw. Someone that punishes people below him but never above. Given the position and opportunities, we'd find many people capable of doing the same thing he did under the circumstances.
Weird that people hear an evil person’s background and immediately jump to the conclusion that you’re trying to excuse that person’s actions. It’s like they start to feel bad inside and then jump to lashing out because they can’t personally parse those feelings and still keep their “hate” for that person.
Hi, very good documentary. I am currently in my final few weeks of an honours degree in History, I am doing a review of the film Shoah at the moment and I came across this documentary. Shoah is very interesting and disturbing at the same time. Hard to believe at times how cruel goeth and other nazi's were. I often wonder about humans.
Emma Byme * Emma God create men in His own image and likenesses, men was with an innocent nature he was living with Eve in Paradise where God provide them with every fruit and food so delicious that was no needs to look for something better (there was nothing better) God give Adam the power to rule earth, God place all creature and creation under Adams command; Adam name all creatures in one day, so he was wise, God give them just one law to followed,not ever eating the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; Satan took his opportunity' tor go against God and his precious Creation, so he came to the garden as a serpent and lie to Eve, saying : God don't wanted you to eat this fruit because if you tasted it you will be like Him knowing Everything! Eve feeling the temptation of all that power and delicious new fruit took one bite and, taste the fruit....Really it was good! So she give some to Adam repeating the lies of the serpent to Adam, so he also found that it's enjoyment in sin for sometime, The story goes on but read it on the Bible by your self and then you will understand how evil entered to the heart of men, Most of the crimes since then over shadow what the Nazis did, they were the real face of the Devil But so Much like them hàd and still happening each minute on all the World. I am a Christian serving The Lord all my life, I have seen terrible things,! Terrible things I also suffer as a child and as an adult, but God was and is with me holding my hands. And my heart! Jesus is The Savior, he also is our best friend that will never, ever forsaken us! May God bless you and keep you Always!🍑!
Thank god he didn’t have a close relationship with his kids. Knowing what kind of horrors lurked inside him, he might have inflicted terrible things upon them.
I never understood how a group of people shared the same brain with hatred. Since little I have seen how criminals, murderers , prejudice , bigotry, and everything wrongful gets together.
If your government were persecuting and killing a percentage of miniorities in your country- and offered you a position of power (real power) you would most likely take it (considering the alternative). I'm convinced that most people do what they think they can get away with. Why throughought history is rape and pillaging so rampant? Because itsva Free For All where the Strong prey on the WEAK.
He's not in a grave , his ashes were spread in the waters of the Vistula River and his soul is burning in Hell if there is one. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Britain and France declared the war on Germany on September 1939 but they did nothing and Poland was attacked by USSR two weeks later. I could be great if you could add it.
Germany invaded Poland 1st September 1939’ therefore breaking the Munich agreement. Britain & France had guaranteed Poland military support & declared war 3 September. Germany & Russia had a non aggression pact & Russia invaded Poland 17 September. Supposedly to come to the aid of Ukrainian & Belorussia who were in territory which they said was illegally annexed by Poland. The British expeditionary forces started to go to France 9 Sept, But spent seven months training. No hostilities between German & Allied armies took place until April 1940. The period between September & April was nicknamed the phoney war. Germany attacked Russia June 22 1941. USA entered war on 11 December 1941 after being attacked by Japan. Complicated isn’t it. I would recommend a series called The world at War which was made by British tv company In 1973 if you ever come across it. Brilliant series.
Like before watching because this is one of the first I do not know of the series - even though im german and kinda a history nerd. Excited to watch it.
If you havent seen it already watch Schindlers list. That is a must see movie for every human and then read Frankls book “ A mans search for meaning” …with just those you will get a good understanding of everything involving the holocaust. The movie also shows how ruthless Amon Goeth was as well.
@@PeopleProfiles yay you guys were recommended to me when I started watching some of your documentaries they're very little done so I'm a new subscriber thank you for all the hard work you put into this
@@Xassaw i am saying , he was not evil. my grandfather served our regime in WW2 in same thing as Goth was in. i support our regime of this time. i am banned from naming my grandfathers division because my account is monitor and restricted by "enemies of free speech ".
So what. My Dad was given to his Uncle and Aunt and had to grow up away from his siblings and parents. It was a common practice is some European countries back then. I was also told he was not treated well by his Aunt and Uncle, although I cannot verify since he did not tell me himself, but he was the kindest man you could ever meet. His hard childhood and also surviving a Nazi forced labour camp when he was in his teens, did not turn him into a monster. It is not an excuse.
Drunk with both power and alcohol it seems. Interesting what being a SS prison commander does to the mind. There is an interesting real-life study about how quickly men can become tyrannical over prisoners. Goeth was like the ultimate descent into madness with his unbridled power in his little fiefdom. It may be why he went mad after, not having access to the power and influence he had, and living as a nobody. All very interesting.
It's telling that Goth was arrested by his fellow National Socialists for committing crimes against their prisoners. That would be like Stalin becoming uncomfortable with those who commit his political killings at his prompting. The irony is astounding. The Nazi's truly were a conflicted group of psychopaths.
It hadn't occurred to me before, but I believe you are spot on with your speculation about the cause of Goeth's breakdown. For a sadistic sociopath to have lost his total domination and control over others must have been unbearable for him. Good.
A very well done piece. All of humanity has a a good side and unfortunately a dark side. Most of us have learned through our elders on which side we belong. Then there's others. My Grandfather fought in ww1. He came back and lived out his life in V.A.. My father fought in WW2 . He saw heavy action in a place called the schelt. I am now a senior citizen and have been fortunate enough to have escaped the horrors of esr that so many very brave young people went through for me and for you. We go to war to stop Amon Goeth.
I'll bet it took sometime for actor Ralph Fiennes to get Amon Goth out of him...Al Pacino once said "it took several years before I got Tony Montana out of me."
Excellent bio as usual , wasn’t aware of his excessive drinking or breakdown one wonders if ever questioned his violence so chillingly portrayed in Schindlers list as you referenced.
In his work Pensées, French philosopher Blaise Pascal observed: “Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.” National Socialism almost immediately became Germany's religion and encouraged any idea or action that contributed to the Party's goals. The only behavioral restraints it left (if any) were internal, and so it produced both Goths and Schindlers. Happily, the Goths did not prevail.
Thank you for yet another historical video on another Nazi war criminal named Amon Goeth. It is amazing that some people such as him are capable of inflicting terrible suffering on other human beings. We must never forget the innocent victims of the Holocaust, even though it is unpleasant to think of them. At the same time we must be constantly on guard against denial of the Holocaust as well hatred against one another.
Poetic justice is a beautiful thing. Goeth being exposed by the only person he failed to kill, there's no more fitting way for him to have been found out and captured. This documentary was fascinating and deeply disturbing. Excellent work as always.
Could you possibly do a similar story about kurt franz, the sadistic killer of treblinka death camp? This topic receives no attention to students, trebllinka was the deadliest camp, surpassing auschwitz which gets all the attention.
Great Channel. Getting my son to watch these so he can connect how easily and quickly a society can degrade when it follows a pied piper that touts the big lie.
You describe politics in general .. Teach children to have their own views yes , But our enemy is the media who promote political partys they want and to decrie and run down partys they dont....
I applaud you for exposing your son to the horrors of history. My father did the same with me. Unfortunately the most recent generations of children are not being taught history - the observation realized long long ago still applies and always will, if we don't know our history - we are condemned to repeat it. Evidence of this is not only in the history books, it's happening right before our eyes RIGHT NOW - you can see it on every communist, Marxist sympathizing main stream media conglomerates and their paid sources of propagandist and indoctrination methods that mirror the beginning of the 1930's in Germany and Russia, just not anywhere near the violence..YET This country is on the path to assured collapse, perpetuated from within. And once again it will show that the people that had the most to lose, did the least to prevent it!
🤣🤣says the one who bought 5 years of leftist propaganda saying "orange man bad"....and then believed them when a geriatric, brain dead racist supposedly gets the most votes in an American election ever.....LMAO.....you would have followed the Nazis straight to their demise 🤣🤣 Propaganda works well on your weak mind......
There is something about power over people that can often lead to violence towards them, the Stanford experience clearly showed that the students who had been appointed as guards over the students who were appointed as prisoners gradually became more brutal and the experiment had to be closed down. The experiment was only stopped when the wife of the physiologist complained about what was going on or it would have continued and who knows someone could have been really violently beaten up. I visited Bergen Belsen when I was only 11 and I was so horrified what happened there I suffered terrible after affects, I couldn't sleep properly or understand why these things happened so when I was older I researched how these things came to be, in the process many of horrors I read and saw re documentaries etc, had an affect on me, I started to feel less horror and shock, it was as if the more horror I saw my thinking became dulled and I wasn't as upset on a gradual basis to where an incident that would have been very distressing to me stopped being so. I believe this can happen to many people, some good people at that, if you think of even now in Ukraine of the war crimes being committed we seem capable of cruelty so nothing changes because in humans there is the propensity to be cruel and inhumane
@@cindys9491 I heard German children go at a certain grade level on field trip to visit the camps, I don’t think they go as young as op, but I know when I attended a Jewish private school we learned about the holocaust in 2nd grade. I think we learned about it too early imo too.
@@tiahnarodriguez3809 In germany we learn about the holocaust all the time through media and stuff like that, but in school we deeply learn about it in 9th grade. That's when we usually visit a concentration camp, too.
Goeth (and others) did exactly what he was positioned to do, which was to exterminate those in the camps. He was successful in that context. He would then be exterminated himself after his mission was accomplished. Sad and heinous but true.

On his birthday in 1943, Göth ordered Natalia Karp, who had just arrived in Płaszów, to play the piano. Karp performed Frédéric Chopin's Nocturne in C-sharp minor so well that Göth allowed her and her sister to live.

It's a cool anecdote, but imagine deciding to murder people or not based on their ability to play piano.

When i reached the age of 18, i left their house and their town, and went to the opposite side of the country to live, never to see any of em again!

Excellent work! Most docs on Goeth just cover his time and atrocities at the camps. This shows what made the man what he was.
Not knocking the time and effort that goes into these vids, but they are not documentaries. It’s someone reading an essay over some stock footage.

Just you watch-soon RUclips is going to be overrun by these "Fakumentaries" (I said it first!)
Schindlers list is a work of fiction based on a novel
Ralph Fiennes played him so chillingly that real life survivors on the set were apprehensive about shaking his hand. He even gained weight for the role. Left me chilled and those eyes of his 😱😳😨
Apparently the characters actions were toned down in the film , as we know he was a proper sociopath and sadistic piece of work .
Göth is the prototype of the highly educated Nazi. In reference to this and to the movie Schindlers List, when the ghetto is being destroyed, one particular scene accentuates the fact that they did not care nor did they have any feelings of guilt. An officer starts playing the piano in the middle of the destruction of the people living there. Two soldiers ask the man if he is playing Bach or Mozart as if nothing special is going on around them. It was just a job for most of the Nazis and SS members.
I do not want to give Göth the benefit of considering the posibility of being mentally ill and subsequently becoming one of those who is excused. He was very aware of his doings as by far most of the SS officers and military were. These are not sociopaths or psychopaths. This kind of people do live among us, and are living a life like most of us do. They will show their real mentality in situations such as a war. It could be anyone, even you who did just read these lines.
I refuse to belive that he is not sociopath or psychopath. My brain can't accept that somebody who is not mentally ill is capable to do that magnitude of evil without regret.
@@nikolahekler2713 cope
There is also the possibility that this might not be an entirely “accurate” depiction of the historical record.
@@mikegrizzly4188 No, his history is very well known. Both from written historical records kept by the Gestpo and from witnesses on both sides. Mentally ill? I think Millgram's experiments showed that people will conform to total psychopath type behavior given orders and most importantly, a promise that _you_ do not have to take responsibility for your actions. Stanford prison experiments shows how long normal people can turn into monsters very quickly given the right situation. I think Gothe was just another idiot with a uniform a gun and a promise of no recorse.
@@mr.hitchens dude. Both of those experiments were bullshit.
And you probably know that.
Ralph Fiennes was too beautiful to portray Amon Goeth realistically.
Yes, he was. ❤
Ralph Fiennes nailed this role in Schindler's list. Terrifying every time he was on like Longshanks (McGoohan) in Braveheart lol
And being Voldemort
One of the best performances of all time. Unlike Longshanks I actually pittied Goth in the movie. Fiennes made him look so emotinally bankrupt that when Oscar sugessted he pardon people you breifly saw humanity behind the monster and you wanted him to succeed.
Except Braveheart is historical garbage.
Apparently his appearance almost caused an extra (an elderly Holocaust survivor) to have a heart attack. She was convinced Fiennes actually *was* Göth.
Schindler was a fraud. His wife condemned him in a South American newspaper cover story about 20 years ago, then cashed in by writing a book about him.
In 2015 I visited Auschwitz-Birkenau, Schindler's factory & the site of the camp at Plaszow. Watching a doco or reading about these places hardly prepares you for what it's like to stand in the spot where millions were killed. Everyone should visit & we should learn never again.
Really appreciate your fairly accurate Polish pronunciations.
Amazing work! Thank you for putting this out. You invested so much time into your research and it shows. I used to watch another RUclips channel for documentaries but that particular gentleman didn't like being called out when he got information wrong. (A certain documentary of theirs was chalked full of errors. I worked in the field they were covering and I sent them many messages with corrections. They deleted my responses and reported me for harassment.) I will now come to your channel for my documentaries...yours are done much better. Keep up the great work.
While filming some of the survivers of the camp were present to help Spielberg with authentication. During this one a women was introduced to Ralph Fiennes while he was in uniform and on set, and naturally in the role, the experience overcame her, as he had she said resembled the man so well, it made her afraid. And when I think Brad Pitt was given an Oscar for his part in once upon a time in Hollywood, which was a crap film, and Pitt was crap, and Ralph Fiennes getting nothing, shows how the Oscars are to me a set up.
Agreed. No comparison between the acting talents of Fiennes and Pitt.
Or Art Carney winning in 1975 for another crap movie called Harry and Tonto, when Al Pacino should have won for Godfather Part 2.
It’s all rigged
Awards mean nothing
brad pitt "won" that year because joe pesci had already won for doing what fiennes did he brought a monster back to life
I remember reading about how Ralph Fiennes was dressed up as Goth on the set of Schindler's List and one of the Schindlerjuden saw him and was absolutely terrified that Goth had returned from the dead.
oy vey
In his words it almost destroyed him, seeing the Schindlerjuden's reaction. It was one of the many reasons and encounters that he took a lot of time off, for an actor that achieved international recognition overnight, from acting.
Wowzers!!! I did not Know That!!! :0 But I do know that in an early 1920 Census, in America. There was only 200k, of us left, due to the American Government Policy, of Extermination, of the American Indian. Yikersz!!!

@@miketalas7998 The largest genocide ever committed was that against the Native Americans. It is approximated that over the years over 150 million were killed.
@@kristiskinner6485 not only that, but it was what inspired the nazis.
I enjoy watching your videos and seeing how your channel has grown. It keeps me motivated to keep working on my own. Keep the great content coming!
The funny thing that is unfortunately not mentioned here is that Amon Göth has a granddaughter who is black. Her name is Jennifer Teege and she has his undeniable facial features. She wrote a book called -My grandfather would have shot me-
she doesn't look like him!! She looks just like a very typical black woman with thick lips and prominent jaw😂, haha where is the resemblance? You certainly have to be very careful when engaging to someone
And her book is excellent!
Wow, really? His daughter married a black man? Or son married a black woman? How ironic.
This documentary was one of the finest I have watched on any topic. Well researched and with a rich array of relevant video and images. It mostly covered facts but the commentary was insightful and prudent. Kudo's to all your creators!

Ralph deserved that Oscar!🏆👏
Very well done. Goeth's life shows how easily a person, in search of meaning, can get caught up in previously unimaginable evil. As armchair moralists we sit in judgement of these men. Had we lived in post-Versailles Germany or Austria, it could well have been us.
He seems to have been a sadist. I don't see how that would follow from political turmoil in the wake of the first war or a search for meaning.

@@Doogydoog Because the circumstances gave rise to opportunist and gave the freedom to act like the animals they were. Nobody to really answer to and indeed actively encouraged.
I would love to agree with you but living in in Germany and knowing Germans not Jews but Germans who missed the death Chambers by only minutes the reason why is because they refuse to go along with the program so just like here in America we have those right-wing fascists who get caught up you know and what one must say misguided Direction I mean that's the great excuse we could use yeah it's all a trip though blessings for documentaries like this stay safe in the world for the chaos
Ya, I'm a judging this evil all the way to hell.
He pursued the nazi's.
I had no idea Austria had an anti-Nazi stance. What I remember learning in school was that a) Hitler was born there and b) that the Anschluss was virtually painless so I assumed that Austria just welcomed the Nazis with open arms. This is the first time I've heard that Nazism was illegal there for a time and there were politicians who were totally against it. Weird.
Interesting. Before and after WWII Austria made Jews "donate" art to the Belvedere Museum in exchange for exit visas. Look into Woman in Gold painting owned by a Jewish family (stolen by Austrian govt) and their fight to get the art back. Antisemitism in Austria was systemic.
The man who succeeded the assassinated Austrian PM Dolfuss mentioned in this documentary was Schuschnig who countered the Nazis and ended up in Dachau.
Luckily, his life and that of his family, who were imprisoned with him, were saved by a German Wehrmacht colonel who was a fellow-prisoner for being against Hitler.
"I felt that the Jews were being destroyed. I had to help them; there was no choice." (Oskar Schindler)
Ralph finnes was super frighting as goeth
Goeth clearly skipped the catechism class teaching “Do unto others as they would do unto you”.
The very first organisation to sign a treaty with Nazi Germany was the Catholic Church, so I don’t think it applies.
Very well narrated with spot on pronunciation of rather difficult place names . An unredeemable character . It is quite striking how many of the perpetrators of war crimes were in fact Austrian . Austria was indeed very lucky to have bargained itself out of the grip of the Eastern Block pact post war by remaining neutral .
They were Swiss.
Hitler himself was Austrian. He got German citizenship 6 month before he came to power.
WTF ? It is terrible narration. I could only watch the first four minutes of this. It sounds "computerised", as if the original narration was a different language and a computer has translated it. The sentences are all broken - in tone, pitch and tempo. It is definitely not an English speaking human talking naturally.
@@simonrisley2177 If you speak of the FPÖ, the Freedom Party, I support them and also the AfD.

Another excellent documentary. I loved the contrast between Göth and Schindler.
Can we now have another based on the symilarites between Amon Goethe and Bibi Netanyahu please. Both ordered the murdering of thousands of innocent people. Both were meniacle sadists. Both boasted of his exploits.
LIam Neeson was robbed from an Oscar. He was brilliant too.
Ralph Fiennes was so good he was better than the actual person. So chillingly macabre
I think most people are better than the actual man!
The only reason Fienne didn't get the Oscar was because he played Göth so well that people feared he would thank Adolf Hitler in his Oscar acceptance speech.
Really interesting documentary! Great clear narration with properly paired music. Thank you for the research and dedication that your team achieved!
Amon Goth is a classic example of power corrups and absolute power corrups absolutely. He was a barberacy run amok...
Anyone who had been wanted for terrorist activities in Austria, moving constantly across the border, joining a SA and later the SS, doesn't sound like someone just wanting to fight for the "Fatherland". Plus his treatment of the prisoners was terrible.

I hope that those who gave their life during this war know that they truly fought a war against the forces of Satan on earth.
Absolutely
Goeth was an opportunist with a streak of grandeur over the prisoners he oversaw. Someone that punishes people below him but never above. Given the position and opportunities, we'd find many people capable of doing the same thing he did under the circumstances.
Fantastic work we have been starved of proper documentary making for years
Agreed. The newer works on You Tube have facts we’ve not not heard ad naseum and bring the characters to life.
Weird that people hear an evil person’s background and immediately jump to the conclusion that you’re trying to excuse that person’s actions. It’s like they start to feel bad inside and then jump to lashing out because they can’t personally parse those feelings and still keep their “hate” for that person.
Oskar Dirlewagner made Goeth look tame in comparison. Dirlewagner even disgusted other SS with his level of sadism.
Good Lord, I'm sorry I looked him up but burying one's head in the sand does no good 🥺
Thanks for the comment. I'm lookin him up now. Never heard of him before.
Hi, very good documentary. I am currently in my final few weeks of an honours degree in History, I am doing a review of the film Shoah at the moment and I came across this documentary. Shoah is very interesting and disturbing at the same time. Hard to believe at times how cruel goeth and other nazi's were. I often wonder about humans.
Emma Byme * Emma God create men in His own image and likenesses, men was with an innocent nature he was living with Eve in Paradise where God provide them with every fruit and food so delicious that was no needs to look for something better (there was nothing better) God give Adam the power to rule earth, God place all creature and creation under Adams command; Adam name all creatures in one day, so he was wise,
God give them just one law to followed,not ever eating the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; Satan took his opportunity' tor go against God and his precious Creation, so he came to the garden as a serpent and lie to Eve, saying : God don't wanted you to eat this fruit because if you tasted it you will be like Him knowing Everything! Eve feeling the temptation of all that power and delicious new fruit took one bite and, taste the fruit....Really it was good! So she give some to Adam repeating the lies of the serpent to Adam, so he also found that it's enjoyment in sin for sometime, The story goes on but read it on the Bible by your self and then you will understand how evil entered to the heart of men,
Most of the crimes since then over shadow what the Nazis did, they were the real face of the Devil But so Much like them hàd and still happening each minute on all the World. I am a Christian serving The Lord all my life, I have seen terrible things,! Terrible things I also suffer as a child and as an adult, but God was and is with me holding my hands. And my heart! Jesus is The Savior, he also is our best friend that will never, ever forsaken us! May God bless you and keep you Always!🍑!

Britain and France declared the war on Germany on September 1939 but they did nothing and Poland was attacked by USSR two weeks later. I could be great if you could add it.
Germany invaded Poland 1st September 1939’ therefore breaking the Munich agreement. Britain & France had guaranteed Poland military support & declared war 3 September. Germany & Russia had a non aggression pact & Russia invaded Poland 17 September. Supposedly to come to the aid of Ukrainian & Belorussia who were in territory which they said was illegally annexed by Poland. The British expeditionary forces started to go to France 9 Sept, But spent seven months training. No hostilities between German & Allied armies took place until April 1940. The period between September & April was nicknamed the phoney war. Germany attacked Russia June 22 1941. USA entered war on 11 December 1941 after being attacked by Japan. Complicated isn’t it. I would recommend a series called The world at War which was made by British tv company In 1973 if you ever come across it. Brilliant series.

Worth watching the documentary on Amon Göth’s grand daughter as a complement to this.
There aren’t any documentaries on her but there are on his daughter, her mother
Like before watching because this is one of the first I do not know of the series - even though im german and kinda a history nerd. Excited to watch it.
You should watch Schindler's list as well.
If you havent seen it already watch Schindlers list. That is a must see movie for every human and then read Frankls book “ A mans search for meaning” …with just those you will get a good understanding of everything involving the holocaust. The movie also shows how ruthless Amon Goeth was as well.
Apparently when the maid of Amon met Ralph Fiennes dressed up, she began shaking uncontrollably from fear.....

Unsettling how much can change in such a short time.
So what. My Dad was given to his Uncle and Aunt and had to grow up away from his siblings and parents. It was a common practice is some European countries back then. I was also told he was not treated well by his Aunt and Uncle, although I cannot verify since he did not tell me himself, but he was the kindest man you could ever meet. His hard childhood and also surviving a Nazi forced labour camp when he was in his teens, did not turn him into a monster. It is not an excuse.
Drunk with both power and alcohol it seems. Interesting what being a SS prison commander does to the mind. There is an interesting real-life study about how quickly men can become tyrannical over prisoners. Goeth was like the ultimate descent into madness with his unbridled power in his little fiefdom. It may be why he went mad after, not having access to the power and influence he had, and living as a nobody. All very interesting.
Yeah agree. Humans can be rubbish….
It's telling that Goth was arrested by his fellow National Socialists for committing crimes against their prisoners. That would be like Stalin becoming uncomfortable with those who commit his political killings at his prompting.
The irony is astounding. The Nazi's truly were a conflicted group of psychopaths.
It hadn't occurred to me before, but I believe you are spot on with your speculation about the cause of Goeth's breakdown. For a sadistic sociopath to have lost his total domination and control over others must have been unbearable for him. Good.
I hope people learn from some of these documentaries about how a "Cult of Personality" can lead to repeating that history.
Gee, what might you be referring to? I wonder...
Absolutely

A very well done piece. All of humanity has a a good side and unfortunately a dark side. Most of us have learned through our elders on which side we belong. Then there's others.

I am now a senior citizen and have been fortunate enough to have escaped the horrors of esr that so many very brave young people went through for me and for you. We go to war to stop Amon Goeth.
Sure, unless Goeth is in your own government.

Brilliant documentary. Very interesting, informative and entertaining.👍👍👍👍🙂💯💯🏴
I'll bet it took sometime for actor Ralph Fiennes to get Amon Goth out of him...Al Pacino once said "it took several years before I got Tony Montana out of me."
Excellent bio as usual , wasn’t aware of his excessive drinking or breakdown one wonders if ever questioned his violence so chillingly portrayed in Schindlers list as you referenced.
The whole Nazi party was filled with misfits and paranoid nut jobs.
According to Spielberg, he had to tone down Göth’s violence because he was worried it would not be believable.
Give someone absolute power over others and there’s no telling w they will do.
True, good and evil are inherent in mankind and only lack of absolute impunity keeps us in check.
Like in Israel, you mean?
this guy is an amature. real pros NEVER leave anybody alive
There are probably many more Goeth's walking around today than ever before. We just don't know about them.
This is very detailed. Good job.
"Make me a hinge"
well done. Detailed,, without dumbing down.
In his work Pensées, French philosopher Blaise Pascal observed: “Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.” National Socialism almost immediately became Germany's religion and encouraged any idea or action that contributed to the Party's goals. The only behavioral restraints it left (if any) were internal, and so it produced both Goths and Schindlers. Happily, the Goths did not prevail.
The Goth's did prevail . They slaughtered 2/3 of Europe's Jews and whole communities and cultures were wiped from the face of the Earth.
Clearly this man was missing something called compassion. Instead replaced with Evil
The contrast with the great Goethe cannot be overstated. How did this civilized people fall into such barbarism?
Thank you. Excellant and informative. I will recommend this channel. X
process of Amon was in Krakow St.Michael Prison, not in Warsaw. That makes difference. Thanks for biography
Thank you for yet another historical video on another Nazi war criminal named Amon Goeth. It is amazing that some people such as him are capable of inflicting terrible suffering on other human beings. We must never forget the innocent victims of the Holocaust, even though it is unpleasant to think of them. At the same time we must be constantly on guard against denial of the Holocaust as well hatred against one another.
Simply and wisely stated.
And his grand daughter turned out to be a beautiful, considerate, colored woman. Read her story as well

Helen said - 'When he got on his white horse, it was known
he'd kill a LOT of people on that round'.
Poetic justice is a beautiful thing. Goeth being exposed by the only person he failed to kill, there's no more fitting way for him to have been found out and captured. This documentary was fascinating and deeply disturbing. Excellent work as always.
Could you possibly do a similar story about kurt franz, the sadistic killer of treblinka death camp? This topic receives no attention to students, trebllinka was the deadliest camp, surpassing auschwitz which gets all the attention.

I applaud you for exposing your son to the horrors of history. My father did the same with me.

There is something about power over people that can often lead to violence towards them, the Stanford experience clearly showed that the students who had been appointed as guards over the students who were appointed as prisoners gradually became more brutal and the experiment had to be closed down. The experiment was only stopped when the wife of the physiologist complained about what was going on or it would have continued and who knows someone could have been really violently beaten up.
I visited Bergen Belsen when I was only 11 and I was so horrified what happened there I suffered terrible after affects, I couldn't sleep properly or understand why these things happened so when I was older I researched how these things came to be, in the process many of horrors I read and saw re documentaries etc, had an affect on me, I started to feel less horror and shock, it was as if the more horror I saw my thinking became dulled and I wasn't as upset on a gradual basis to where an incident that would have been very distressing to me stopped being so. I believe this can happen to many people, some good people at that, if you think of even now in Ukraine of the war crimes being committed we seem capable of cruelty so nothing changes because in humans there is the propensity to be cruel and inhumane
