I completely agree! My dad was a soldier in the Second World War and he told me so many stories that I've written down and will pass on to my children.
The real problem is when a group holds a belief, to the point of certainty, that is not to be criticised or reasoned with. All beliefs, be they political or religious, should be held provisionally. We need to be skeptical of others and most importantly, our own beliefs and be willing and able to change them if necessary.
This is why it is so important to make sure history is never forgotten and that the holocaust is never forgotten. If we do not learn from history we are doomed to repeat it. No single group of people is better than any other. We are all precious 😢❤
I’ve seen and heard about the Holocaust before, but this puts such a personal story within the historical horrors, it makes it more powerful than anything I’ve ever seen. 😢
There were more than just Jews There are 9 others kinds of people they killed too. What surprises me they don’t include those other 9 categories of people
The sad part is it wasn't just one person. It was a whole lot of people who helped. We see it going on today where bad people are being helped by people we thought were level headed.
Worst part is that most of those those sick bastards had gotten away with their crimes… either they are dead now or too old for a trail to matter. So many actions taken in ww2 was a contest for who could commit the most crimes against humanity!
Man's capacity for evil is astonishing! Way beyond my comprehension to understand how the soldiers could obey these orders. Was it just that they feared the same fate would come to them and their families were they to dare to not follow their orders?
My grandfather whole family were killed. He was the only Is survivor of this family. An italian family took them as theirown to save his life. He is one of the many reasons we should never forget our history. They say history if forgotten it can repeat itself.
@@matthewmayhem9213 What part of "resurfacing" is so hard for you to understand? They did not do this day one you know. So many uneducated people. Sheesh.
@@flordelrio57 It was indeed a whole political party and not just one man. This video is also about the culmination of centuries of prejudices and hatred against Jews.
If only there were enough soldiers who could have joined together against the orders they were given. If only there were enough to tear the whole thing down. I hope at least most of them were not happy with what they had to do. The sheer horror of what happened here in devastating. We must never, ever forget. We owe all of those poor innocent people who suffered that at least.
So sad, so sorry. My great grandparents were from Ireland and left due to the Potatoe bilight. They were very very lucky to get to be in US. Homan Avenue in NY is my family
Its very upsetting to watch and the thought of all those responsible that got off makes me feel real anger, one of the great shames post war was that we let so many of them off easy. None of them should have been allowed to continue on.
My grandfather was amongst the British troops that liberated Belsen concentration camp - he could never talk about what he saw. Unfortunately, I don't think this lady was correct in talking about 'fear'. Anti semitism has been around in Europe for centuries and it is not based on fear, in my opinion. Germany, pre WW2 was the most sophisticated European country with brilliant universities and manufacturing businesses. The people did not become anti semites through 'fear'. The problem was far deeper than that.
😢This never should have happened then,and in the future, All People are Precious, like beautiful flowers and Trees and Nature Our Humanity ❤🌏🌎🌎❤🕊Precious.
People don't shoot children, generally. It's one imposition at a time. Ordinary People obey authority, when they know it's wrong. And the impositions then become increasingly severe from the authority figure. "Round up the townspeople" "Shoot the fighting age males", "Bomb the buildings harbouring terrorists" Etc Etc By the time the order came to shoot children, the threshold of evildoing & obedience had long since passed
In or from the US, the first examples that come to mind have been border guards, US soldiers at My Lai, police officers, and the ever-so-frequent school shooter. Sadly, the international example that comes to mind are Israelis who have suffered so much in the past currently shooting Palestinian children who have also suffered so much. Many never learn.
What is now Belarus used to be part of the old Poland before World War Two. Stalin claimed more land for Russia and it was agreed by the allies that the borders of Poland would move westwards. What is now the new Poland had taken land from the old pre-war Germany.
Heartbreaking. All people are created in the image of God, and have dignity and worth. History must be presented truthfully and honestly in schools and everywhere. We must not forget.
Absolutely heart wrenching. The way she described them being lined up, awaiting and knowing their fate is what we now do to billions of animals every year as well. Humans are awful.
Hey up Miss Kudrow. This video is very moving. I often wonder what happened to my great grand parents. My grandmother was 14 years old when she immigrated to Canada with her mother and family members. She couldn't speak English when they arrived.
I'm so sorry for your relative targeted by the Nazi'a in WW11 - I'm sure I lost relatives also in WW11 fighting for America -- i lost relatives in the potato famine in Ireland -- Russia lost 40 million people in WW11 -- so many tragedies on Earth, an evil paradise -- let's pray for a brighter future for everyone and not live in the past --- GOD Bless
Could someone explain to me please - when I watch this video, RUclips gives the description and now on top of that I see an inscription "for more context" which starts giving the info about Holocaust. BUT if I push the link it opens an article on wiki about denying Holocaust!!!! Why???
My brother was stationed in Germany about 35 years ago and he was there with a vcr camera and my dad told me about it he let me see the video. It was to my horror of what I saw: the pictures and where they were according to the historical aspects of it made me almost want to throw up. It's so sickening, very dark and lastly it had a overwhelming amount of sadness. I never been there but watching it made it feel like I was there through the video. I remembered seeing a movie in high school around that time. I couldn't fathom of what I have seen and the whole movie made me very angry I mean it's what I reacted to it at the time meaning that it was very upsetting to me to see the treatment towards innocent people. No person should have to be treated like that. Just saying. This is why I will never forget history and knowing history is very important no matter what.
@@desierhart7176 when I was walking around Auschwitz in the winter of 1993, I could still see ashes floating in pools of water. I remember getting more and more angry at the Germans for perpetrating this but then suddenly realized at the same time, anger is what created this place. It was so humbling, I cried. Later, on my way back to Amsterdam, I shared a train compartment with a young East German, Gunnar who was on his way to Med school. It was his first opportunity after the wall fell. He patiently listened to my reflections of Auschwitz and single-handly restored my faith in the German people. Truly life changing experiences.
@@Mako-hq6zc I hear you. I understand that anger is what we don't want. I agree. Yes to see the restoration of humanity brings us smiles and love. I do see alot of goodness out there. 😊❣
cruel... Mutch the same is unfortunately unfolding in ukraine :(. and probably several other places. We, the west must really try to build a better world for everybody.
We should despise the dictators and their insanity. It's the ordinary people following the orders to be inhumane to other people that bothers me. We see it, even today. Every living being whether human or animal, deserves respect and dignity. Will the human race ever evolve enough to learn this?
Funny way to spell Republicans. Let' me tell you this as a descendant of those Nazis: Never again. And you could not be further from the truth. In the US, some states make it worse for Women, POC and some want to outright cleanse their communities from trans people. And Europe leans to the right as well, even here in Germany where one would think we learned from history. I often post on thematics like that to remind people what could happen if we let it slide and to prevent Right Wing Nutjobs from spreading false claims and alternative facts.
That is why is so dangerous to forget or misrepresent history. No one should be forgotten.
Including the Palestinians who are slaughtered every day

Yes. Now the Republicans in the US are trying to erase the history and ban school teachers from teaching it. How ironic!
And hey. The Nazis are back. And we’re voting for them! Isn’t that great? I mean… horrible.

Sadly ethnic cleansing genocide has contunued across the world. E.g. Pol Pot.
Very sad news
While it may seem insensitive, her "huh" at 3:33 was a way to keep her composure. She fought so hard to keep from breaking down.
You'd have to be completely clueless to see that "huh" as insensitive. I immediately saw it for what it was.
It's her way
I’ve seen and heard about the Holocaust before, but this puts such a personal story within the historical horrors, it makes it more powerful than anything I’ve ever seen. 😢
This is just barbaric and completely inhumane. I cannot fathom to think of the atrocities that took place against a persecuted people.
There were more than just Jews
There are 9 others kinds of people they killed too.
What surprises me they don’t include those other 9 categories of people
It happened not too long ago. We can’t tolerate people who distort or trivialize the horrors of this event.
Very, very sad for Lisa. That is simply terrible.
The sad part is it wasn't just one person. It was a whole lot of people who helped. We see it going on today where bad people are being helped by people we thought were level headed.
Horrific. Those innocent people did not deserve their fate
Lord protect our children from politicians & ideologues 🙏

and no country from Eastern Europe got reparations for war only Westerns counters got like France or GB

Some of my family suffered the same fate in Poland. Horrible and it can happen again.
Mine in Hungary...so sad!😢

It is being repeated in Gaza.
When my high school class vusited the Holocaust museum, I fainted. Only time I ever fainted from a non-physical cause.

The cruelty of these mass slaughters... it's unimaginable... but yet it happened... and why??? Because of a madman and his lunatic visions...
This is terrifying given how this type of movement is resurfacing again in the US!
Yes, and the new group being targeted is the Trans Community. They always pick someone vulnerable because they really are cowards.
Where in the US are people being stripped naked and lead to a large hole in the ground and shot dead?

@@JonathanReynolds1that’s an oversimplification. Just take a look at Polish borders from 966 and how similar they are to what we have now.

And yet today in America, we're following the same path.
