  • In April 1944, two Jewish prisoners miraculously escaped from Auschwitz. When they recounted what they had left behind, their harrowing testimony revealed the true horror of the Holocaust to the outside world for the first time. They described in forensic detail the gas chambers and the full extent of the extermination programme. The news they brought presented the Allies with one of the greatest moral questions of the 20th century: Should we bomb Auschwitz?

      The true horror is that it's not beyond evil. It's within the realms of possibility for ordinary men and women. Once a society begins the process of committing a genocide, then men and women will carry it out believing what they're doing is for the greater good. I know we want to believe that we've somehow advanced as a species, that we would not repeat such atrocities of the past. However, that's just a belief and the reality is, we're no different then the men and women of the past. You and I could easily be rounded up for extermination or be a cog in the machine committed to the extermination of people. It can happen again and by the time people begin dying it's far too late to speak up.

    As a history professor I felt a sense of responsibility to explain to people why this Holocaust Remembrance Day is different than all others. So, I made a short video and included many resources for people to learn more about the Holocaust. Soon the entire generation of survivors will be gone. Now is the time to learn the lessons of the past.

Or a holocaust? I've listened to scores of holocaust survivor's stories . They talked about how the nazis would force them out of their homes, at gunpoint, and crowd them into ghettos where people literally starved and died of disease. The European ww2 refugees came in and did the SAME EXACT THING. And kept it up to this day.
      You should search for some interviews with a Jewish historian originally from Iraq. Very highly regarded . A little short round old man and I cant remember his name. Bald on top with white hair. Glasses. Very informative about the regional events of the last 80 years.
      Genocide I'd defined as trying to destroy a people. It doesn't matter what their numbers are. And several officials including Netanyahu have made public statements about their intent to destroy Palestinians ( and Christians by the way) out of the area, and absorb parts of lebanon, syria and Jordan . Not muslims, just Palestinians, arabs and Christians. Some muslims they seem to feel they can live with.

    Most of the reasons why Auschwitz wasn't bombed were touched on in this vid. But one reason was not fully explored, and that is the military men running the war for the Allies had one objective - to win. They assumed those running the war in Germany had the same objective, and they couldn't fathom Germany would divert such massive resources from their war effort to carry out an ideological pursuit that had no military value. The Germans were losing on three fronts. It didn't make sense to the Allied military commanders and I'm not sure they fully believed or understood the reports coming out of Auschwitz. My dad was a POW at Lamsdorf, in the same part of Poland as Auschwitz. I've been to Auschwitz and have talked to guides and the local historians about this.

    In regards to stopping the Holocaust, there's not much the Allies could've done. Take into account that there are 42,500 camps total, the Holocaust would've continued and not to mention the severe reprisals that would've happened. The only way to really stop the Holocaust in its tracks for good was to win the war. If anyone wants to know more about the story shown on screen, I highly recommend a book titled The Escape Artist by Johnathan Freedland. It's easily my favorite book despite the grim subject it pertains to.

    There were no 'deniers' right after the war because there were too many people who saw proof with their own eyes. But as more and more of the witnesses passed on, the deniers started to become more. _This should tell you something about the people who say it never happened. More specifically, their lack of courage._

Others to the US. I remember some time ago a man was arrested from somewhere in the upper midwest and extradited.
      Obviously, a whole nation can't be punished as some of those that fought in the German armies had to do so or their family would be killed. And i don't have hate in my heart for the living in either Germany or Japan. Just my private choices to not buy certain things.

    Can we not pretend there weren't people in the Allied governments who heard this and just thought "I hope they get all of them"? The United States, Canada, and Britain all refused to let jews into their countries, even when they arrived in their harbors in the thousands on ships. The people on those ships were sent back to Germany to be murdered. This is why Jews need a state: everyone needs a place where they know they can escape persecution if things go off the trails. We just saw this happen in Nagorno-Karabach when Azerbaijan invaded and forced the Armenians to leave, sending them to Armenia. Armenia has taken them in, despite the massive strain on their resources. Contrast this with the Kurds, who have been the victims of repeated atrocities because their land is spread between multiple countries where they're a minority, instead of having their own country where they're a majority. Even if it meant some Kurds living outside Kurdistan, they'd have the security of knowing they can leave.

    I can't comprehend the suffering that must have been endured. That being said, this documentary clearly states those who were gassed were done so almost immediately upon arrival. It also shows multiple survivors that were deported and arrived there more than a year before the war ended let alone many others before that who would have almost certainly been killed by a bombing raid .
    Please listen starting at 42:25
    IF the bombers even managed to hit to crematorium and gas chambers and destroy them, given hitler's dedication to the final solution; would have been rebuilt as soon as possible. He denied frontline troops supplies to transport people to the camps. Also look at the raids on german oil production or other (for example aircraft) factories, rebuilt back to 75% or more capacity in sometimes less than a month, if not 1-2 months. In the meantime the condemned would have been deported to other death camps while future survivors would have needlessly been killed and would not be here today to share their testimony . Just my view, but have studied both world wars for easily 14-15 years.

      Due to MULTIPLE issues.
      Let's list some
      Battle deaths: Soldiers killed in battle
      Mass executions: Deliberate genocide and massacres
      Forced labor camps: Soviet prisoners of war were deliberately mistreated and starved, and millions died in German captivity
      Mass deportations: Millions of civilians, including Soviet Jews, were killed in the Holocaust
      War-related problems: Civilians were hurt by bombings, disease, and starvation
      There's always more deaths when the war is in your country. And the soviet doctrine was to just throw men into fire for no other reason than they had the number to do so.
      I'll put it another way.
      So you'll comprehend it.
      Let's say there's one guy you need gone:
      The USA would use one bullet with a sniper
      Russia would use 500 bullets with a machine gun.
