It takes a lot of courage and bravery to stand up for what's right, even if its against your own family. But remember, Rainer you are not your grandfather!
I admire his courage to open up about this. It must be difficult to admit openly that you are connected by blood to people who have committed unspeakable crimes. He is very brave to be so vulnerable in the public eye.
Parinaz Serri l dont like the germans but this man had no say in the family he was born into.and l think he is a brave man and agood person,but he is still a german.
Peter Paterson, when I was younger each time I encountered an "old German" I couldn't help but wonder _what did HE/SHE do during WW2?_ Then I read more, talked more, and slowly came to understand that the 1st victims of Nazism were German (the German Jews, their sometimes non Jewish spouses & friends who tried to help them, German communists, socialists, clergy, Gays, all the very 1st concentration camp inmates). More importantly I came to understand that citizenship has nothing to do with how evil, or silently complicit of evil any human can be. So esp now that all the Nazis are basically dead, it makes no sense to dislike the Germans, no? Germany in 2018 is the least "Nazi" country in Europe: it far right party is quasi non existant compared to Hungary, Holland, France etc
He has a difficult life, but he should feel good about his actions. He is aware of what crazy political ideologies do with people, they destroy them and their families.
Just goes to show that hate can be learned but more importantly, unlearned. And so goes for compassion and kindness. Which is why it's important to teach children what is right and moral and human. This man obviously made the right and opposite choice from his grandfather. More power to him and people like him!
So much respect for Mr. Hoss. I have watched so many documentaries and interviews with him and others like him... I wish they could live a full day of no guilt. When he says "they talk to me like a normal person.." You are and really good one.
I like this guy and respect what he is doing> Is it a reminder to parents and grandparents. Your children will grow up and one day talk or write about you, whatever it is that you did to them and others.
Anyone who thinks he is the blame for the actions of someone else is an idiot. Good to see though he's doing good work and condemning his grandfather and helping to oppose modern day neo-Nazism.
Imagine growing up in his shoes, shrinking when History class mentions his g father, while his own family still supports exterminating innocent men, women & children..... I see him as a collateral victim.
Sad to see people negatively commenting on how he has decided to deal with his family history. You know nothing of his upbringing and the journey that brought him to where he is, jog on saddos.
I have been to auchuwits because im on a non combat deployment in Europe. It made me sick I was sick through the whole tour. One of the tour guide ladies was crying through one of the stops I asked if she was okay because she is makes those tours everyday or every week takes someone with a strong soul and mind because being their for one day tour my soul apart.
Horrible blood inheritance but Reiner is very brave HUMANE personality. I believe that the tattoo on his chest with the star of David is a symbolic act "I am jew too" and a way to curse the whole nazistic ideology!!!! MY RESPECT TO YOU, SIR AND MY BLESSINGS!!!! 👍👍👍👍🎩🎩🎩🎩🎖️🎖️🎖️
As a Jewish I’m adoring the huge responsibility that he takes. It is so easy to be a victim and says, fathers have eaten sour grapes and the children's teeth are set on edge. But it is different with this guy. He definitely came to this world to clean a karma. Bless you. ♾🎆🙏🏻💎
Soviet Union killed millions and distroyed/raped Poland and Polish people in every possible way. No, I do not thank Soviet Union. I also don't thank Americans or "allies" who decided to sacrifice Poland to Stalin. We have been trying to rebuild our country for decades. It will take us a few more decades to erradicate soviet mentality from Polish minds. Communism took many more lives than nazism.
@@nathantorresstanevil6958 FFS, dude. It's not like no one talked about it. ruclips.net/video/gmarFypO6oo/видео.htmlsi=_yXyplLtXTswWBcX He was there. You're denying reality.
This man tattooed his body the way he did and showcased it at Auschwitz... This is the pinnacle of human greatness, unlearning barbarism and doing so much out of the greatness of his heart. Many blessings. This is the kind of guy you'd want leading a party/nation.
I feel sorry for this man that he has to be disowned by his own family (although it looks like he's married and old enough to be a father himself so it looks like he might at least have that) for doing the right thing by trying to get restitution for his grandfather's wrongful acts. If only I could give him a warm handshake or a pat on the back to say "keep it up and you're doing the right thing". By the way I'm a Christian, believe in the right to religious freedom and love it when people of all faiths get along!
He knows the sins of his grandfather are not his sins. But no matter how many times you say that, there'll always be that small part of him that feels awful. All because of his sick, twisted Grandfather.
Rainer, you could hide. Your name is common enough. But, you did not. You were born from such a legacy of evil, and opted to raise above it. Still, these are not your sins; you do not have to do this, but you do. You are goodness. Know this, my friend.
Thank you for your testimony and attitude Mr Höss. During that war our countries were heavily fighting against each other. What for? You are a good guy.
God bless you Mr. Hoss for standing against the evil your grandfather did you are not responsible for what he did more men and women should stand up like you do but then maybe they are like their family acting like them I sure hope not my prayers are with you and am sorry they turned from you🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💝💝💝🙏🙏🙏
It's great he speaks up about this, but I honestly don't understand why more descendants of famed Nazi criminals don't do the same. I honestly can't imagine NOT speaking up if I were in their shoes. It's such an easy and obvious way to attain a platform to work for the greater good.
One fake individual, using todays "flaky media" to promote his "denouncing of the crimes of his grandfather". A couple of years ago he was in the middle of some controversy because he was caught by the media, scamming them, doing this. He was a cook, out of a sudden, unemployed, he came out with the idea of exploiting his name, and the world believed him (until he got caught).
kennedy john f you do know the Romans at that time crucified people right? They also had “Christian candles”, where they would dip Christians in tar and light them on fire.
Wow. Just wow. He actually bares some resemblance to his grandfather. Sometimes one has to disown one's family as they bring nothing but horror and suffering.
Since years Rainer is fighting against the far rights and for rememberance. He is a real great person who is brave getting out loud. Who is confronting deniers . We are a voice , not an echo. And we are responsible for the education of future generations to learn from history and to never forget!
l admire this man so much to grow up knowing his grandfathers dark history must have been devastating for him and now he's fighting against hate he's a remarkable man
Have to recognized that any human is capable of becoming the monster his grandfather was. The human weakness for power, and how easily we can follow a leader down a dark path of evil.
It's so sad that people can blame someone's descendents for the crimes of their ancestors... I guess this is the new flavor of entitlement! To me personally, anyone who is trying to blame people for the crimes of those people's ancestors are even LOWER forms of life than those who committed those unspeakable crimes against humanity!!! Yep, i said it and if it makes me a "rececismsis" or a "xenophobic person", then so be it! It's the cold, hard truth!
There used to be a video of this guy touring a concentration camp and speaking with relatives of survivors.... I'm not sure if it was a Vice or journeyman films documentary. I cannot find it anywhere. Does anyone know where it can be viewed? Thanks
Hi There is a documentary he was in called Hitlers Children from bbc in 2011 and he went to the villa by Auschwitz and spoke with a group of israeli students where he met a survivor

They hugged this man becoz their heart is so big & they are blessed people. Otherwise, those general or soldier's family should be removed from this world.
The atrocities his grandfather committed weigh heavily and this righteous humane person suffers for it. It's not easy and it is not fair. But amidst the darkness of his family's soul shone a light of courage of love and determination to atone. God works in misterious ways. 🙏✝️❤
It's NOT going to win. HATRED has never "won" even when it LOOKED like it was winning. Eric, my loved one who died in Tower 1 bc of someone's hatred, used to have a poem on his desk that said: He drew a circle that shut me out, Rebel, heretic, a thing to flout.

Creation is a nightmare spectacular taking place on a planet that has been soaked for hundreds of millions of years in the blood of all its creatures. The soberest conclusion that we could make about what has actually been taking place on the planet for about three billion years is that it is being turned into a vast pit of fertilizer. But the sun distracts our attention, always baking the blood dry, making things grow over it, and with its warmth giving the hope that comes with the organism's comfort and expansiveness.

No it doesn't. His grandfather is one of the worst humans ever to walk this planet. It would be very east to speak out against that.

He has a difficult life, but he should feel good about his actions. He is aware of what crazy political ideologies do with people, they destroy them and their families.
I salute Mr.Hoss for turning on his family and embracing their victims.
An admirable man doing what he can to reject a despicable man
This is a remarkable man. I thank him for what he does. 🌱
You Rainer are a brave man HOWEVER the sins of the father are not the sins of the child
It sure feels like it though.

It is impossible to inherit guilt. u do however inherit the huge responsibility to teach others and that is what this good man is doing ❤️
Why do you inherit that responsibility? Every single person had ancestors in some point in history that did degenerate crap.
Fix the description, it's not ''Rudolf Hoss' grandfather'', it's Rainer Hoss' grandfather... Reiner is not Rudolph
