Those children were NOT thrown out there by their parents...they were out there because their parents were most likely killed. These children had to care for themselves. No Jewish parent would throw their child out into the street to survive on their own. These Jewish parents protected their children until their last breath.
I think any parent would do that - Have you not seen Documentaries of these war torn countries after the war - hundreds and hundreds of children were without parents, the poor children were scavenging through garbage looking for food-- the lessen is NO one wins when there is war - let’s learn our lesson pray and fight that we never go to war ever again. God have mercy.
True;however Palestenian children are just shot dead or beaten up or blown up by bombs;courtesy of the current apartheid state fully supported by the usa;
@@robertlesslar8584 I think you mean courtesy of their "Palestinian" brethren who literally drop outdated, dysfunctional works on their own people, because they are fanatical jihadis who don't give a damn about the Arab Muslims of the Levant. All they care about is their Mosque and getting Jerusalem in Muslim hands again. Please. So many of the Palestinian dead are killed BY Palestinian mishaps and just sheer ignorance.
@@robertlesslar8584 Not us that would be the current Israeli government which never learned that they went through that. The Middle East is a mess of death anyways we can’t change them, as youve seen the past 20 years
Wow. The one German soldier who refused orders and wound up in a concentration camp. Wow. Amazing he survived. What a brave, brave man. I hope the rest of his life was a good one.
There where many that refused order's on many situations and where sent to essentially military death camps to carry out duties that was guaranteed death mine clearing or driving details or many other thing's
My father was a prisoner , in stalag 11A , He was 4 years POW. When liberation came , he saw the results of some of those camps . He believed it was important to let me learn about this history , so as a 10 year old he sat with me through documentaries on Nuremberg , and POW camps and places like Austwich. my mother objected, but dad said, I needed to know, I'm glad he taught me about TRUTH and mercy . And why I needed to pursue these in life. . NEVER AGAIN, AMEN,
It is important, Angela, and your father was correct, in my view. Trying to get closer to the truth and having mercy are the key things you learn after a long life.
With me it was the onherroepelijk was around. My father couldn't have any of it, my Mother had us watching the inferno of Belsen and more of that at that age....
My inlaws; one from Ukraine and the other from Belarus, were forced into a work camp in Germany. They were not Jews. They eventually made it to the US after the war, and in 1951, arrived into New York. My husband and his older sister were born in the Republic of Germany. My husband arrived in NY at age 2. My inlaws were taken away from their families and forced to work in these work camps. The Hitler era persecuted many people, but were especially cruel to the Jews.
As you know, there were different kinds of camps. Forced labor camps, while compelling people from all over Europe to work for endless hours on unsubstantiated diets, were still not the horror of concentration camps, and then even more lethal, death camps called die vernichtungslage. 6:17
These stories are stunning ! I am 71 retired and born on May 15th 1951. Bothy late parents were in WW2 in the Coast Guard my father on a Coast Guard giving to the Russians off the Alutian lslands in the war and my mother at Coast Guard Headquarters Washington DC helping women to set up radios also during the war ! I will always feel that I will always belong in the WW2 era then this generation !
My great grandparents immigrated to Canada after WW1 from Ukraine. After WW2 they helped some family both young and old to immigrate . The stories I heard from the perspective of multiple generations still haunts me .
@vyhozshu From the way you write one can bet that your grandfather or great-grandfather were murderous NKVD-KGB officers trying to abduct every potential opponent of the genocidal Russian communist state. I've read a number of their execution reports and you write exactly in that spirit and using that terminology. Only a KGB-FSB propagandist can name all the groups which the Russians had the habit of enumerating as working after WW2 for western intelligence services. You have exposed yourself, comrade vyhozshu, and it's time that you be placed on the list of war criminals for a trial in the Hague.
You should see some documentaries of what the Jews did in the Bolschivik revolution, these were jews not native Russians. What they did was killing 51 Milljion Christians.. Why do people only talk about the poor Jews. Why did we never learned about the hatefull Jews in History. Trotsky, Stalin, Lenin and so many other Jews.. go watch and learn about that.
Because their minds force them to distance themselves from the action. This is why the mass shootings started giving way to gassing. The Nazis didn't care about being more humane to the people being slaughtered. They were protecting their soldiers because many of whom were getting drunk and/or doped up to deal with their consciences.
Kurt Franz was a cook who worked at one of the training centers for those entering the T-4 Euthanasia Program. Everybody who joined T-4, regardless of their secondary job, such as a cook, had to learn how to kill "undesirables" by using gas. They started out killing the mentally ill, and when the mass extermination of the Jews began in Operation Reinhard, those members of T-4 were sent to the three camps, Belzec, Sobibor, and Treblinka. Franz was second in command at Treblinka, and for him to say he never saw certain scenes in this camp is a blatant lie. The place was tiny, but close to 900,000 Jews were murdered there, and everybody knew what was happening.
Unfortunately, those facts don’t fit in with the Jewish reasoning that they were the only ones persecuted and should now have a country of their own. How many Palestinians have died or continually suffer because of that point of view? I believe they actually learned a great deal from the SS.
I did something similar in the 80s, 40 years after the war. I interviewed dozens and dozens of Germans who had lived through the Nazi times--victims, resisters...and perpetrators. Thing is that those who willingly took part in the horrors would only talk to me if I didn't record them. No cameras, no tape recorders--even my notebook made them nervous, even though they had more or less escaped any real consequences. Once satisfied, these unrepentant Nazis, now in their 60s, 70s and 80s, became more and more animated as they spoke of the "glory days" of their youth and relived the"thrill" of the power of life and death that they wielded. And all of them, without exception, blamed everything that happened on the Jews, the Romani and the Slavs.. the victims. Even as spitting old men, these creatures were still terrifying.
@@lologege5466 Because they were still diehard Nazis who were still just as committed to the Führer's vision of the Herrenrasse as they were as young men.
My late father, a New Zealander who flew in the RAF would totally agree with your comments. He landed after D Day in Normandy and then traversed across France, into Belgium and then occupied Germany in March 1945. He was unusual I the sense that he was an airman who then got to meet many Germans - soldiers and civilians. He was very clear that they should under no circumstances be trusted. He saw firsthand what tge Germany did as he was present at the liberation of Belsen
The world treated the Jews VERY BAD- including my own people! As an Arab I fully acknowledge this painful truth and relentlessly trying to counterface hatred and prejudice against people who done nothing wrong except being Jewish.
I am if German descent and this is all I heard growing up. I don't want to hear this anymore . It's not going to undo anything. Why won't the world let the Germans move on from this. They were punished by the brutal bombing if their ciries
@@moniquedelaney7958wow. Thanks God Monique for bringing morality in. Look away we could be worse. You could have been bombed worse. The 7th could’ve been worse. The Holocaust could have had 7 million. Tell that to every Palestinian child.
It seems so hard to imagine. But then you see people just recently wishing the unvaccinated death or jail. Then you see how this went on. Propaganda. Fear. Division. Hate.
The unvaccinated HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON with the Jews, nor were the unvaccinated ever in any actual danger. Quite the contrary, as they were endangering others, not just virally but with mob violence. Such petulant selfish, arrogant, self-righteous children. You need to snap out of it. The Nazis were fascists. The Right are Fascists. Never Again is more than just a slogan to us Jews, it's a promise and a it's a threat to ALL fascists and their supporters. The unvaccinated???? Shame on you. Disgusting comparison.
So....the take away from the Kurt Franz interview is, he knew everything that was happening at Treblinka, but he never saw or participated in a single thing. Right. Monster.
@C A Campbell He was Nazi SS and one of the people in charge of the Treblinka extermination camp. He was sentenced to life in prison for war crimes in the 60s, but then released in early 90s. I can't remember exactly why but I think it was an illness and he was old as dirt and not expected to live much longer. I think he lived another 5 years or so, perfectly free, in a way he would NEVER have allowed a Jewish person to live. I was floored when I saw he agreed to be interviewed here. He basically says he was kinda aware of what was happening but never personally participated. It's a bunch of malarkey. Google him and his wiki page should list all the crimes he was convicted of. Sorry about the response being so wordy! Definitely watch this video. Very important stuff.
@@jscho8674 Just watched it Was he the one who was contradicting himself about the grid where they burnt the bodies ? My father was wounded and captured in Singapore and sent to a Japanese POW camp at Sandakan North Borneo From more than two thousand four hundred British and Australians originally held at Sandakan there were six survivors He testified at the War Crimes Tribunals at Rabaul and Toyko
I can never understand why these criminals were given such ridiculously light sentences.Why were they released early 😫 Were the German authorities in charge after the initial trials ?So these monsters were walking amongst us and .living comfortably. Maybe there were decent Germans but the vast majority worshipped Hitler
Kurt Franz , former S.S. commander of the Treblinka death camp interviewed here was known to be a cruel, sadistic official. Why was this not brought up?? And why was he released from prison? It's clear that he looks as healthy as a horse yet he was released after 28 years of imprisonment for reasons of ill health. We are talking about a man who was judicially declared to have been responsible for the collective deaths of 300,000 human beings. He should never have been released. Shame on the German judicial system.
That alone tells you that Germans knew what was going on. They just didn't care cause Hitler was making Germany great again. At least hat monster got 28 years cause many others got 1-3 years then were pardoned.
I keep going back to this , The Catholic Church had demonised the Jews for almost 2000 years, And they continued to do so DURING THE HOLOCAUST and right up till the end of the war ,when they helped Nazi war criminals escape to South America and other countries. . The German Protestant Church hated the Jews because it held them responsible for Germanys defeat in the First World war and the liberalism democracy and socialism of the Weimar Republic, Also The Protestant vote and influential Protestants and Catholics were instrumental in getting Hitler into power. Yet Both Churches , especially the Vatican and the Catholic Church have virtually escaped any criticism for their contribution to the Holocaust, and not just German Christians, In most European and eastern European countries Christians were complicit in the Genocide of the Jews. I The simple truth is that Christians were responsible for the Holocaust.
I agree. Almost everything that guy said was a lie. You can tell he knew so much, and very clumsily pretended to know nothing. What a creep. Typical German.
I cannot believe one guy talked about the gassing of 100s of thousands of people like matter of factly like oh well,just the way it goes,shit happens..OMG
@@edwardtasi2905 It goes a LOT deeper than your shallow comment. I'm not defending what they did but get a taste of the opposite side of the coin and try to broaden your horizons some........... ruclips.net/video/-dRd3Ajiu4Q/видео.html
How could anyone live with those terrible memories, especially if they were part of the actual killing? I can hardly bear to listen, but I feel I owe it to those who died.
@@Quaker-tc8ue they were abt to kill also the ppl involed in the camps, so yes, they had to follow orders, the WW2 Climate was like that, you dont follow an order that means usually Death either in a camp or prison time itself.
The scenes described here in Germany, Poland etc. did not occur in the Netherlands, including the provinces North and South Holland. People were deported from the Netherlands, but this went in very different fashion then what is described in this video.
Pretty depressing to see Kurt Franz living a good life as a free man....He was one of the more murderous and brutal guards (and eventually the commandant) of Treblinka....
I wonder if the civilians, police, the Nazis etc. who were photographed & videoed abusing & killing the Jewish people & other detainees while laughing ever saw any of themselves condoning the actions & felt guilt later. I doubt it. This was so disgusting!
@Y. Cuevas I did and couldn't find any satisfactory answers that I could believe. Also, you don't have to reply so rudely. What did I ever do to you? Why couldn't you just scroll by or mention and perhaps site a reference declaring someone did or didn't feel guilt to just be a kind helpful person.
Germans surely protected their war criminals. That alone shows you that Germans were perfectly okay with Hitler' cruelties and didn't care that he was gassing Jews and bombing civilians in other countries. They only cared when it was their turn to be bombed.
Was weird to see the camp commander get instantly a smile on his face when he started talking about the killing of people, as if at the back of his head he is proud of it and remembers it fondly. What’s even worse is that they pretended at the trials that justice is served, to please the international community and shortly after that, they let him out of prison, a mass murderer to roam free in this world.
The way he described how he think....he was never in charge.....how the people....all lies. I donot believe he had no idea. He think.....he think.....lies! He knew everything aboutvthe final solution. 😢
What we don't appreciate is it's even worse in Japan. They have absolutely no idea about what their people were doing and finding it confusing and difficult to explain why they were ever involved in fighting with their heroes the Americans.
The fact that Kurt Franz was released and died as a free man is infuriating and sickening beyond belief. If you want your blood to boil, read the Wikipedia entry on this man. His sadistic and cruel actions, and the atrocities that he committed, are some of the worst committed by any nazi during the war.
Germans fully protected their Nazi criminals. To peace other countries they gave these terrible monsters the death penalty then changed them to life. In a few years (1-8) they were pardoned and sent home. Most Nazi war criminals died peacefully at homes cause both Germans and Americans protected them. It's disgusting that such man died peacefully in his bed. I don't trust Germans and I truly think that they will start ww3 if their economy fails.
Yes. it is sickening, and hearbreaking. Certainly this was in part anti Semitic, a long tradition in Europe, including Germany! But there was more: Soon after WWII the zeal to prosecute Nazis was overtaken by the "Red Scare," or the newer threat of Communism. The Allies were suddenly eager to make friends with West Germany-- a safeguard against Russia taking over the entire former German nation, and , perhaps parts or all of Western Europe. No longer were Irreplaceable, innocent Jewish souls to be avenged,no longer were Nazis to face justice for their inhumanity. World politics-- about power, struggles sadly, not people--became quite intense during the "cold war." Nazis became old news. And many went ahead and did quite well for themselves. Some were eventually hunted down. Most, like Mengele, lived long lives in relative comfort and peace.
The people said there was nothing they could do, but there were those few who proved that thinking wrong. I'm sure that most Germans loved hearing how they were better, smarter, superior...God help us be like the ones who hid Jews and others in spite of the risk of losing their own lives.
Incredible piece of filmmaking, we are now quickly losing remaining survivors due to old age and documentaries such as these should really be digitally enhanced, upscaled and available on streaming services. It’s a moral responsibility to make it easily and readily available for current and future generations.
This subject turned into a money making issue in 1945,let’s keep the truth and facts because a lot of people have lied about this subject for many many years,any subject you can’t investigate and ask questions about is just nonsense,
No worries! We have people who are channeling survivors and also those who claim they were survivors in past lives. You can listen to them right here on RUclips.
Incredible filming yes, but much more incredible were some of the people. Some people being interviewed seem so unhuman. I think they who worked with prisoners. They talk normal but there seem to be little or no real sympathy for what happened to millions of people, including children. It's like Satan looked up from Hell and said these are my guys, when it came to that war. One guy even said our beloved Furher, amazing.
Becareful about seeing old documentaries as truth without question though. Context and content can so easily be reorganised to paint a picture that never was.
My grandfather was an Airborne Ranger and BAR gunner, and he helped liberate Dachau. The only thing he would say about it is that evil is real, and so is hell. He took lots of pictures, but he hid the negatives very well. I examined some but quickly lost my enthusiasm. The pictures he took are beyond description.
Hello My grandfather was in the 20th Armored Division and his scrapbook was horrifying . He brought back Nazi Paraphernalia like Swords and Knives - all lost over card Games .
The German worker in Warsaw is so non-cholent and uncaring about seeing dead in the street, it boggles the mind. It's clear he's a Nazi criminal and should have been prosecuted for neglect and mass murder. So cold and disinterested in anything but his own preservation there's no inkling of compassion or regret. I'm speechless.
Easy there people do become desensitized you would be surprised how quickly it can happen doesn't mean they agree just that it happened moving on for some is different from other's
I felt he was very honest and DID want to show the truth of what he did witness. No I don’t think he was overly emotional. I’m sure he spent much time very sorrowful and overwhelmed by it. I have lived through truly crushing years. Now when I tell others about it, I do speak very matter of factly. I am less emotional about it - I don’t tear up as much - because it’s simply TRUTH at this point. And I speak truthfully about it so that people do know ITS REAL. I speak in FACTS now. Not in hysterics. When you live with truth for so many years - it DOES become black and white. The emotional distress subsides, it’s deep in there. But the POINT now is not the emotion, but the FACT.
Leah, I survived what my Jewish, holocaust survivor psychiatrist termed as worse than what she saw, had to do and was forced to endure: incest from my father. Her reasoning was that, as horrifying as it is to say, Holocaust survivors had one another and they knew it was wrong. What I survived has a 40% suicide rate, and I'm still here, alive and LIVING, IN MY 70'S. I know the look of guilt in men who brush aside what they did for purely selfish reasons. This man was one of those who can not face nor atone for what they did. And I grow utterly furious every time the subject is raised. Bravo to you in your desensitized existence but I ask you this: are you truly alive?
To hear about the shopkeeper, wearing his military decorations from WWI- and having these physically stripped from him- was sobering. So much is said in just that little vignette. Many minor tragedies must have fallen to individual people to cope with, private horror stories unfolding against the backdrop of the overarching tragedy we do know about. Hearing about that shopkeeper, courageously displaying his patriotism (which now meant nothing), made me very sad. Something about that story hit home to me the real nightmare of helplessness that the victims were forced to privately and collectively endure.
Thos was a great & timely documentary to come across. In the US, black WWI & WWII vets were lynched in & for wearing their uniforms. We all need cleansing through education, truth-telling & grace.
Forgetting is too common. Even the makers of this documentary have forgotten the murder of the four million non Jews who died in the holocaust. History books since the mid fifties no longer mention them, or at best as a footnote.
What amazing testimonies of the people who lived through the second world war, and saw what happened to Jews. Thank you for this eye-opening and poignant video.
What do you realy know? only the storries, the propaganda... of the winners. The winners were Jewish Elite Bankers who started this war. You know Nothing.
Once I watched a similar documentary about a secretary who did the paperwork at a special office in Vienna for Jewish people who fled Austria and Germany because the living conditions became very difficult and unbearable for them. They asked her what she felt or if she cared about them. She said she would feel nothing, she would do her work and didn 't think much about them. This would be normal in those days , nobody would really think about it, they were following orders and the paper work was so exhausting that she would be too busy to care about their conditions! She didn 't recognize the cruelty of her words and later on she showed the reporters her appartement with a balcony and she played akkordeon singing a German or Austrian folk song! I was furious when I watched it and couldn 't understand how this was possible!!
@@strictlynortonYeah right, such a heroic freedom fighter rejecting a vaccination! 😅😅 We are soooo impressed by your tremendous effort fighting for YOUR personal right to behave like a antisocial id!ot! 😅😅
my father worked in a German forced labour camp for almost three years. He escaped and walked home for some months, at night. He was helped by so many good German people and he never hated the Germans in general. He was so thankful for the help he received,
There are stories of people escaping those camps. They were rare. People escaped from Soviet corrective labor camps. I even heard rumors that after the war German stragglers were seen in Ukraine and Belorussia. They would mooch food from the locals. The NKVD would catch them but they were not the big priority. The Bandera people and "forest brothers" were the NKVD priorities.
Unfortunate that the rest of the Allies did not take a leaf out of the Russians book. The Reds had a very correct attitude to the Nazi butchers: They hung the bastards after a short, sharp trial!
There is nothing to learn from the Russians. Their brutality and inhumanity is on a par with Nazis and continues the Nazi legacy to this day. Today Russians are the new Nazis.
The Israelis and the Russians were the only ones who punished those German cowards cause both the Americans and British protected them even though they bombed civilians and tortured American and British POWs.
even all these years Kurt Franz cant own up to his atrocities..he could'nt "bear the thought of what he witnessed" more like the things HE DID. read his wikipedia article to get an idea of just some of the sadistic crimes he committed while at Treblinka
This is a brilliant documentary.. These singular interviews constitute a well-crafted articulate historical document that should be praised for its focus. Bravo to the makers and the participants for expressing their POV ‘s of such a relentlessly unimaginable atrocity. It is up to us to interpret it, and to never forget
There was a lady who worked in one of the Department Stores I worked in; she was a very small woman (this was in the early 70's). She was a Nurse during WWII, and was the first female to enter Belsen. I felt both sorry for her, and proud to have met someone with such character. All if the Allies in both world wars are heroes to me. xx
You need to get a better understanding of history if you believe the defeat of Germany in WW II was an heroic enterprise. You probably believe the Yankees were the "heroes" in the Civil War.
I am SHOCKED that no one responded to the disgusting @aethervortex. He wanted slavery to continue and has no problem with the subject of this video. In the US, we must be vigilant because there are a LOT of people like this.
I was stationed in Germany during the 70s. One German told me that he remembered on Crystal Nacht that in Ludwigsburg and the Nazis busted windows of Jewish stores. They went into the synagogue and ransacked it. They took the Torah scroll outside and were wearing kippahs and kicking the Torah Scroll around. Then they set fire to the synagogue. The fire department showed up. But they didn't put the fire out. They just contained the fire to keep it from burning surrounding buildings and houses.
My mother was a child, about age 6 at the end of WWII. She lived in a part of Germany that is now Poland. She knew the Holocaust to be true. When she was a young adult, her employer and landlord told her that he had been a guard in a camp. The camps were real, the forced labor and murders. He was at one time visited by survivors who thanked him for allowing them to escape. He looked away rather than shoot them. But yes, he was a part of this and spoke the truth. It impacted him all his life. He never faced any court or jail time, and there must have been many other Germans like him. First hand witnesses.
@@dick_richards The Leucter report was compiled by a man claiming it was science when he had no understanding of what he was actually looking for in materials he stole from Auschwitz. He was attempting to prove in a Canadian court that a Holocaust denier was not wrong to say that gassings did not happen. He was thrown out as the expert witness because his report was flawed and false and total bullshit. And the man he attempted to defend was jailed for enciting violence. This report dates from 1988 and disregards the many authentic documents kept by Nazis themselves detailing the products and methods they used. So take that report and make use of it as toilet paper. But decent people wouldn't wipe their arse with it.
@Argenta Lol he literally holds the patents on gas chamber designs. Have you read it or watched his presentation??? I'll bet my next 5 paychecks, you didn't. Ignorance is bliss, eh??
@Argenta He literally went to Auschwitz himself and found ZERO trace of cyanide. Plus, what's a hanging, electric light bulb doing in an unsealed room full of explosive, poison gasses???? That was originally a 5 room barracks, and why wasn't the smoke stack attached and why were ZERO traces of human remains found in it?? Why???
I know this happened nearly 100 years ago, but that isn't that long ago. I just find it incredible that one group of humans could treat another with such cruelty. Especially children. Babies! The elderly, the sick. Women!
The cruelty happened because those inflicting it didn't see the Jews as human beings, same as the whites in America that treated the blacks with cruelty as well. Many atrocities in every corner of this earth, and still claiming they believe in God.
@@Emy53 thanks for your reply. I know what you're saying and I've heard it mentioned in documentaries over the years but I can't relate to that. They are human beings. They look, act, communicate the same. Not that I could be cruel to an animal either. I guess I'd have been murdered too had I been alive then and occupied by Nazis. Having said that, I wouldn't have had a problem killing Nazis. Horrible, evil, bastards. Regards from UK.

44:00 ... it is sooo important to have an acurate translation to really "understand the RIGHT context" ! This german dude, who is presumably no nazi, as he procecueted the Treblinka killers, does NOT say "Heydrich was assassinated", he says "Heydrich fell victim to an assassination" ... VICTIM ... Heydrich ... victim ... he was completly full of that shit still in this interview !
No, this is definitely not a correct interpretation. By using the expression of "falling victim to an assassination" for Heydrich, Alfred Spiess does in no way suggest that Heydrich was an innocent victim - it is just the kind of correct language he would use as a lawyer. There is no indication from this interview or other sources that Alfred Spiess in any way supported or defended Nazi crimes. Instead, he was instrumental in researching and prosecuting some of the most horrific Nazi crimes.
Back then, Germans and Austrians (and people in many other countries) blindfolded themselves for a variety of reasons. Most of them are shameful. How can somebody take a picture of a human being suffering and do nothing?
Well, the photographs by some were taken maybe to record history. There were many people that risked themselves to help the Jews. Many felt it was unjust, but a whole country uprising was no match to Hitler's army. The Hitler regime didn't care who you were even if you were German. If you helped a Jew, you were subhuman to them as well.
like the people nowdays with their iphones? Those civilized ones who like to start a video recording driving and record bad accidents and go sharing the sufferings online before they drive away? Never calling the police? in the year 2023...the young rich and healthy know better, right...I mean right??
As I've said on many of these, with no judgment, when you look at history as a whole, at this particular time in history, Germany was not the only Nation doing this, they were one of the first figure out how to kill people on an industrial scale, but there were many other Nations executing mass. Amounts of what they considered lesser people's, that was a normal practice going back for 1000's of years, I'm not trying to make excuses for what Germany did, I'm just trying to educate people that that was a normal fact of life not only up to then, it also carried on after WWII in China, Russia and many other countries, and even today it still goes on, the difference between all the others and Nazi Germany in modern times is, Germany lost war.
While in the military, I lived in Germany, and later, in the Middle East. Most Germans would never talk about the war, and as this was the late 1980s, most who had any first-hand knowledge of the war had died, or were becoming very elderly. However, my German neighbor and I once spoke, and he said, in his opinion, that everyone knew the Jews were being killed. And even though many Germans didnt approve, talking about it could land you in jail, and maybe even get you shipped out to a camp too. He said his biggest fear was not the SS, but other people ratting him out. He said it was easy to avoid speaking about it with people in uniforms, but he never knew which of his neighbors might be colaborators, and report him. So, the fate of the Jews became a sort of macabre non-subject among the people. They just avoided the subject outside close family members. I met more people in the Middle East who believed the Holocaust was fictional than in Germany. I didnt take a poll or anything, but I'd guess at least 75 percent of Saudis believed it was either made up, or vastly exaggerated.
@@kingpin5283 normally Nazis don't accept todate. Wait for your moment when some people rise up against you and kill your kids because of their ethnic or religious affiliation. Don't cry then. Deny then too.
@@jonathansamuel7033 there's numerous proof a lot from Nazis themselves including Hitler's speech at the Reichstag in 1939 when he threatened "the annihilation of the Jewish race from Europe." How stupid to deny it.
I believe many knew their fate. They didn't cry or scream because at that point, they must have felt no one was coming to save them, not even God, yet I feel that they believed in God until their last breath. I have to respect their beliefs even if I don't understand it.
You should find the Docu, Europa the last battle, this will tell you everything and then you will understand what happened in that time.. its a whole other story then you think now.
When it comes to faith I believe God allows this to show the rest of his creation how low evil will go. There is a bible text that supports that. The book of revelation speaks about a time when a death degree will take place against a certain group of people loyal to God. Millions of us can see the world shaping up for that time period.
They even carved the loss of their faith into the walls they were imprisoned in. To think they all held their faith is absolutely ignorant - and I say that with kindness. I say it’s ignorant to show that it’s silly to assume they held their faith. These people were crushed beyond belief. So BELIEVE me when I tell you - it was worse than you are currently imagining.
Amazing, no questions to Kurt Franz about his sadistic murderous activities. When he was arrested in 1959 a search of his home yielded a scrapbook with horrific photographs titled “beautiful years”.
yeah, infuriating. what a nation and culture of cowards and hand-washers. if you can’t administer justice to this murderer, i guess you don’t care, you just want it all to go away and be forgotten.
Franz claimed that he never hurt anyone.... Here's the problem - if one is "following orders" then the orders come from above. That means that Franz gave orders to sadists at the camps that he ran. So he is responsible for their behaviors.
I agree. You have to think about why a goverment would want to disarm their citizens ……It’s so the people can’t defend themselves…. Against anything the goverment wants to do to the people. I’ve read the Federalist papers , the ideas of our founding fathers about why they wrote the Amendments …what they have to say about militias and armed citizens, everyone should read…..it shouid be taught in schools…….
I get so angry when I hear these accounts .....I hate bullies....and that all the nazis were....sick minded bullies with absolute power. I hope such a thing never happens again....but we all know that it will and has.

Trudeau is one of them. There are many more. It is happening all over again
I agree. You can’t help but wonder what has to happen to an individual for them to behave with that level of evil, hate, and disgust. Because, we’re starting to see it in America, as a “culture” on Ivy League University campus’s. Which is almost EXACTLY how Nazi Germany started to take hold in the mid-30’s. They infected every major institution in the Germany, including medical. To think that we’re witnessing that, given how recently this evil horror took place is as terrifying as it is shameful. I have family who fought to help ride the world of this evil…and now, here it is festering in our own country.
Remarkable presentation. It should all be transcribed into a book for future generations. Every single individual account of what was done to these human beings is important. We must never forget.
There are many books and films about the atrocities perpetrated on the Jewish people and others. But there are still plenty of deniers still around regardless of the truth. Many still say it never happened. There are many neo Nazis today. There are statues and museums dedicated to those who survived and still people deny all of it. Even today the Jews are still the most persecuted group of people in the world.
There are tons of the video documented accounts on YT and online in general. Search for all the Spielberg Archive stuff. Last I remembered there were hours of survivor testimonies from the 70's, 80s and 90s. And the Speildberg Archive has all the raw footage from well, everything having to do with European Jews basically, from the early days of just daily life in places like Lviv, to the aftermath of the 2nd war. I wish more was saved for posterity, but at least we have a lot.

The interviewee that begins 14:10 gave a detailed description of what he saw as a young German soldier in the Warsaw ghetto. I wish the interviewer had asked him what his emotional reaction was when he saw people dead and dying in the street, etc. That would have been REALLY interesting.
How can you not see mass murder, when you claim you saw people emaciated, begging for food and water, and dead people lying in the street? Unless you, your families, friends etc., look and behave in the same manner ( beggiing, starving, and dying), you were witnessing mass murder...no matter how slow and long-suffering is was. To exploit them, by making them work for free, is taking part in the murders. How can people be so darkened to stand by and say nothing...and do nothing.
Words can not express how I feel . We can not bring back the dead and suffering; we can take better care of one another and that includes every human; even the ones that people judge and say they "deserve" to suffer or die.
I also believe that the West should boycott and protest Israel for what they do to the Arabs that have lived there for a few thousand years. The land grabbing is only the tip of the iceberg.

Paying attention and being aware is important. Turning your head away from everything that is going on around you will not make it better and being excessive about things can also be a distraction.

The man speaking from 36 minute mark onwards - he tells these stories in such a matter of fact emotionally detached way - the germans seem to have this quality far more then other nationalities.
Kurt Franz made me feel sick, he was all, "it wasn't me, I didnt know, I wasn't responsible, someone else did it" Then later he tells how he didnt hate Jews or anyone and didnt see the reason for the killing, indeed he had friends who were Jews etc.. I hope he burns in hell, what a disgusting creature, why was he allowed to live?
He knows a lot more than he’s telling, and every German involved with killings and camps knew it took at least 30 minutes but usually up to an hour and a half to kill people in the death trucks, they all complained about how long it would take killing people that way, he’s pushing hisself to the outside the picture as if not really having done anything or knew of anything wrong going on smh, to all the real ones that truly helped any of the prisoners may they repent, rest in peace and lord please have mercy on them
And it doesn't stop here, Americans are going to experience about the same thing with the New world Order, I've always believe that history repeats itself in one way or another,My sincere condolences to all that went through the Holocaust, may they rest in peace 🕊️
History doesn’t exactly repeat, but it rhymes. That is the problem, if it repeated , one could say “oh no , I recognize this, we are not letting this happen.” But because it rhymes , one doesn’t recognize the pattern until one is in the midst of it.
Not only Americans the western world you mean, and they are the same enemies now as in the time of WW2.. but for that to understand you need more knowledge
What is the point? The only guy who shows any guilt or emotion at all about their parts in the murder of 10 million human beings is the guy who lifted up off his chair with his eyes bugging out of his head filled with rage. The only one. The others are almost smiling as they calmly relate their stories! The one with the pictures he took in the Warsaw Ghettos disgusted me! The guy in the green jacket and white beard said "We weren't under orders to gas people every day" so was he ever charged? Were these men not investigated as War Criminals?
Kurt Franz 53.oo minutes onward was telling the truth when he said he did not have much to do with the gas chambers and such , however when it came to the work jews who had been kept alive there was no worse bully ,coward and sadist , in all my studies of the SS he was truly on of the worst , training his st bernard Barry to attack genitals ect. and making the lives of those who`s lot was ulready unbearable a living nightmare , he was possibly the worst SS man during that whole phase of the holocaust , I am sure there were others as bad , but I dont see how they could have been any worse .
And he also starved 2 million german pow's in open air camps by breaking international law by classifying them as "enemy combatants" Guy was an evil and wanted to eradicate the germanic race.
Profound Gratitude to the Man who spoke against the Nazi thugs! Truly Righteous. I hope he received decorations and respect for his rare decency and bravery.
In the sixties I studied the second World War.Our history teacher spent some effort to cover war crimes .He included the fire bombing of Dresden .He explained that if we had lost the war people would have hanged for this .He spent a strange amount of time going over this in some detail.His mood was strange .I later learned that he was on these raids.

Eugenics and oppression/exploitation of Black Americans were adopted by Hitler, then horrifically modified. SCOTUS Associate Justice, Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr, wrote the 8-1 majority opinion in Buck v. Bell, a case that upheld the Virginia Sterilization Act of 1924 - forced sterilization of institutionalized persons (USA) in the interest of "public welfare" outweighing the interest of individuals in their bodily integrity - the Virginia sterilization law.

To me all Germans and Austrians back then were monsters because they all knew and cooperated with Hitler. Germans were happy with Hitler cause he was going to bring them riches. They didn't care about gassing the Jews nor bombing innocent people in other countries. They only cared when it was their turn to be bombed. That said- Germans today are not the same as the monsters back then. They are completely different cause they have taken steps not to follow their grandparents. So it's is okay to travel to Germany and Austria.
I’m watching this with morbid curiosity. I wish to learn how an advanced civilization can descend to such depths of barbarism so that I can recognize the signs precluding it’s reoccurrence.
well the members of the Christian Churches protected them and helped them get new identities, especially the bishops, some Cardinals and thousands upon thousand of lay catholics from all over Europe,and the Vatican,who ensured these reptiles and monsters got money jobs property and new identities in the Fascist Catholic countries of South America, Spain, Ireland, and even Britian the USA and Australia.
Listening to these guys wanted to make me puke. How the strong would climb to the top and the weak would die at the bottom. Just listening to how they were killed in detail was just to much for me to take. The Germans showed what a man could do to another man, to innocent women and children, was beyond comprehension, and beyond imagination and pure evil. Just mind blowing and beyond words that can describe a living hell. How they can sit there and describe what took place is beyond me.
@@ThisNinjaSays_ That's cause Americans betrayed their own people and funneled money into Germany. Money that was supposed to be for poor Americans specially minorities. Do you know that black soldiers who fought in WW2 went back to a segregated cruel country?
The photographs, as horrific as they are, serve to record history. They are the proof that these human beings were persecuted because of their culture and beliefs. Those that did the persecution believed in God. This is not what God wanted. This is why I have stepped away from religion. This is pure "human" against "human" hatred and prejudices.
It doesn't prove any such thing Also the concentration camps in the East. Didn't feature emaciated people. It was in the west due to allied bombings crippling the infrastructure
You forget all those who helped and did what they could and so many lost their lives saving others. This horror shows the depths humans can sink to but we couldn’t recognize it if there weren’t heights of goodness to compare it to. People have choices to go either way. We are not puppets on a string.
Actually Hitler was not a believer in God. He believed that Christian faith was founded in Judaism. He persecuted Jehovah's witnesses as well as other faiths that stood against his rule.
It's easy to say I had nothing to do with it. Yes u do every! Everyone had a task. A football team has eleven players and it's like a defender says I had nothing to do with the goal scoring and the winning, u didn't score, but as a defender u were defending and passing the ball to ur team-mates. Maybe you didn't do the gassing, but u were a part of the whole picture! So in my opinion they all responsible n I'm not talking about the civilians, but those guards, doctors, ones doing the selections, etc in the camps!
Those children were NOT thrown out there by their parents...they were out there because their parents were most likely killed. These children had to care for themselves. No Jewish parent would throw their child out into the street to survive on their own. These Jewish parents protected their children until their last breath.
I think any parent would do that - Have you not seen Documentaries of these war torn countries after the war - hundreds and hundreds of children were without parents, the poor children were scavenging through garbage looking for food-- the lessen is NO one wins when there is war - let’s learn our lesson pray and fight that we never go to war ever again.

Listen to the bloodless way these Germans describe the killing, as if they were talking about an assembly line in a factory.
You should see some documentaries of what the Jews did in the Bolschivik revolution, these were jews not native Russians. What they did was killing 51 Milljion Christians.. Why do people only talk about the poor Jews. Why did we never learned about the hatefull Jews in History. Trotsky, Stalin, Lenin and so many other Jews.. go watch and learn about that.
Because their minds force them to distance themselves from the action. This is why the mass shootings started giving way to gassing. The Nazis didn't care about being more humane to the people being slaughtered. They were protecting their soldiers because many of whom were getting drunk and/or doped up to deal with their consciences.
It was an assembly line. An industrial project.
Why were these men allowed to live
@@raymondmanderville505 so that we didn't become the monster we hated.
Kurt Franz was a cook who worked at one of the training centers for those entering the T-4 Euthanasia Program. Everybody who joined T-4, regardless of their secondary job, such as a cook, had to learn how to kill "undesirables" by using gas. They started out killing the mentally ill, and when the mass extermination of the Jews began in Operation Reinhard, those members of T-4 were sent to the three camps, Belzec, Sobibor, and Treblinka. Franz was second in command at Treblinka, and for him to say he never saw certain scenes in this camp is a blatant lie. The place was tiny, but close to 900,000 Jews were murdered there, and everybody knew what was happening.
let's not forget the Romany gypsies and communists and real socialists and homosexuals and disabled people please along with the Jewish people
and 3 million Russian POW's....
Right on, both of you. We should remember the victims of the Holocaust, all of them.
And thousands of Jehovah's Witnesses along with everyone else mentioned.
Unfortunately, those facts don’t fit in with the Jewish reasoning that they were the only ones persecuted and should now have a country of their own.
How many Palestinians have died or continually suffer because of that point of view? I believe they actually learned a great deal from the SS.
Its not a competition. This video was made to disprove those that say that jews were not murdered by the germans.
I did something similar in the 80s, 40 years after the war. I interviewed dozens and dozens of Germans who had lived through the Nazi times--victims, resisters...and perpetrators. Thing is that those who willingly took part in the horrors would only talk to me if I didn't record them. No cameras, no tape recorders--even my notebook made them nervous, even though they had more or less escaped any real consequences. Once satisfied, these unrepentant Nazis, now in their 60s, 70s and 80s, became more and more animated as they spoke of the "glory days" of their youth and relived the"thrill" of the power of life and death that they wielded. And all of them, without exception, blamed everything that happened on the Jews, the Romani and the Slavs.. the victims. Even as spitting old men, these creatures were still terrifying.

Who was Kurt Franz? (Have forgotten and haven’t watched the film yet.)
@C A Campbell He was Nazi SS and one of the people in charge of the Treblinka extermination camp. He was sentenced to life in prison for war crimes in the 60s, but then released in early 90s.

I think he lived another 5 years or so, perfectly free, in a way he would NEVER have allowed a Jewish person to live. I was floored when I saw he agreed to be interviewed here. He basically says he was kinda aware of what was happening but never personally participated. It's a bunch of malarkey. Google him and his wiki page should list all the crimes he was convicted of.

What an unrepentant, lying piece of filth.
Kurt Franz , former S.S. commander of the Treblinka death camp interviewed here was known to be a cruel, sadistic official. Why was this not brought up?? And why was he released from prison? It's clear that he looks as healthy as a horse yet he was released after 28 years of imprisonment for reasons of ill health. We are talking about a man who was judicially declared to have been responsible for the collective deaths of 300,000 human beings. He should never have been released. Shame on the German judicial system.
That alone tells you that Germans knew what was going on. They just didn't care cause Hitler was making Germany great again. At least hat monster got 28 years cause many others got 1-3 years then were pardoned.
I’m surprised that he served 28 years. A lot of these degenerates were released by the mid fifties.
Mhm shame! 😒🙂↔️
it stays beyond comprehension how people , human beings were so mistreated... it feels like an act of the devil .. no words.
I keep going back to this , The Catholic Church had demonised the Jews for almost 2000 years, And they continued to do so DURING THE HOLOCAUST and right up till the end of the war ,when they helped Nazi war criminals escape to South America and other countries. . The German Protestant Church hated the Jews because it held them responsible for Germanys defeat in the First World war and the liberalism democracy and socialism of the Weimar Republic, Also The Protestant vote and influential Protestants and Catholics were instrumental in getting Hitler into power. Yet Both Churches , especially the Vatican and the Catholic Church have virtually escaped any criticism for their contribution to the Holocaust, and not just German Christians, In most European and eastern European countries Christians were complicit in the Genocide of the Jews. I The simple truth is that Christians were responsible for the Holocaust.

Kurt Franz not dying in prison is something I can’t understand.
It is hard for some of us to behave like them ,hence they get released eventually.
BB nu y😂😊
Germans surely protected their war criminals. That alone shows you that Germans were perfectly okay with Hitler' cruelties and didn't care that he was gassing Jews and bombing civilians in other countries. They only cared when it was their turn to be bombed.
Was weird to see the camp commander get instantly a smile on his face when he started talking about the killing of people, as if at the back of his head he is proud of it and remembers it fondly. What’s even worse is that they pretended at the trials that justice is served, to please the international community and shortly after that, they let him out of prison, a mass murderer to roam free in this world.
Remember that Germans supported Hitler and gave him power so they were just like him.
well he only roamed for 3 years.
The way he described how he think....he was never in charge.....how the people....all lies. I donot believe he had no idea. He think.....he think.....lies! He knew everything aboutvthe final solution. 😢
I know a "denier". He sends articles to "prove" that the numbers of camps and extermination were/are greatly exaggerated.
What we don't appreciate is it's even worse in Japan.
They have absolutely no idea about what their people were doing and finding it confusing and difficult to explain why they were ever involved in fighting with their heroes the Americans.
The fact that Kurt Franz was released and died as a free man is infuriating and sickening beyond belief.
If you want your blood to boil, read the Wikipedia entry on this man. His sadistic and cruel actions, and the atrocities that he committed, are some of the worst committed by any nazi during the war.
Germans fully protected their Nazi criminals. To peace other countries they gave these terrible monsters the death penalty then changed them to life. In a few years (1-8) they were pardoned and sent home. Most Nazi war criminals died peacefully at homes cause both Germans and Americans protected them. It's disgusting that such man died peacefully in his bed. I don't trust Germans and I truly think that they will start ww3 if their economy fails.
Yes. it is sickening, and hearbreaking. Certainly this was in part anti Semitic, a long tradition in Europe, including Germany! But there was more: Soon after WWII the zeal to prosecute Nazis was overtaken by the "Red Scare," or the newer threat of Communism. The Allies were suddenly eager to make friends with West Germany-- a safeguard against Russia taking over the entire former German nation, and , perhaps parts or all of Western Europe. No longer were Irreplaceable, innocent Jewish souls to be avenged,no longer were Nazis to face justice for their inhumanity. World politics-- about power, struggles sadly, not people--became quite intense during the "cold war." Nazis became old news. And many went ahead and did quite well for themselves. Some were eventually hunted down. Most, like Mengele, lived long lives in relative comfort and peace.
I agree the monster should have been sentenced to death!
God sees everything and forgets nothing
This is why God says vengeance is hi! God will surely avenge every cruel act!!
The people said there was nothing they could do, but there were those few who proved that thinking wrong. I'm sure that most Germans loved hearing how they were better, smarter, superior...God help us be like the ones who hid Jews and others in spite of the risk of losing their own lives.
Incredible piece of filmmaking, we are now quickly losing remaining survivors due to old age and documentaries such as these should really be digitally enhanced, upscaled and available on streaming services. It’s a moral responsibility to make it easily and readily available for current and future generations.
Amen!!
This subject turned into a money making issue in 1945,let’s keep the truth and facts because a lot of people have lied about this subject for many many years,any subject you can’t investigate and ask questions about is just nonsense,
No worries! We have people who are channeling survivors and also those who claim they were survivors in past lives. You can listen to them right here on RUclips.
Impressive how many survivors there originally were from a death camp though?
I thought the Germans were known for efficiency.
Incredible filming yes, but much more incredible were some of the people. Some people being interviewed seem so unhuman. I think they who worked with prisoners. They talk normal but there seem to be little or no real sympathy for what happened to millions of people, including children. It's like Satan looked up from Hell and said these are my guys, when it came to that war. One guy even said our beloved Furher, amazing.
I really like old documentaries. They aren’t flashy and loud, they just try tell the truth (or as close to it as possible).
And no blaring dance music in the background which is so annoying.
Becareful about seeing old documentaries as truth without question though. Context and content can so easily be reorganised to paint a picture that never was.

My grandfather was an Airborne Ranger and BAR gunner, and he helped liberate Dachau. The only thing he would say about it is that evil is real, and so is hell. He took lots of pictures, but he hid the negatives very well. I examined some but quickly lost my enthusiasm. The pictures he took are beyond description.
My father didn't talk about it either, just said that he'd seen it and would tell us about if we wanted to hear.
Hello
My grandfather was in the
20th Armored Division and his scrapbook was horrifying . He brought back Nazi Paraphernalia like Swords and Knives - all lost over card Games .
Happy to say, during the Dachau liberation was the only time the SS were shot on the spot. God bless your father and I thank him for his service
My uncle helped liberate one of the camps in Germany. Until the day he died he never spoke of what he saw.
They were not allowed to talk about it
The German worker in Warsaw is so non-cholent and uncaring about seeing dead in the street, it boggles the mind. It's clear he's a Nazi criminal and should have been prosecuted for neglect and mass murder. So cold and disinterested in anything but his own preservation there's no inkling of compassion or regret. I'm speechless.
Easy there people do become desensitized you would be surprised how quickly it can happen doesn't mean they agree just that it happened moving on for some is different from other's
I felt he was very honest and DID want to show the truth of what he did witness.
No I don’t think he was overly emotional. I’m sure he spent much time very sorrowful and overwhelmed by it.
I have lived through truly crushing years. Now when I tell others about it, I do speak very matter of factly. I am less emotional about it - I don’t tear up as much - because it’s simply TRUTH at this point. And I speak truthfully about it so that people do know ITS REAL. I speak in FACTS now. Not in hysterics.
When you live with truth for so many years - it DOES become black and white. The emotional distress subsides, it’s deep in there. But the POINT now is not the emotion, but the FACT.
Leah, I survived what my Jewish, holocaust survivor psychiatrist termed as worse than what she saw, had to do and was forced to endure: incest from my father. Her reasoning was that, as horrifying as it is to say, Holocaust survivors had one another and they knew it was wrong. What I survived has a 40% suicide rate, and I'm still here, alive and LIVING, IN MY 70'S. I know the look of guilt in men who brush aside what they did for purely selfish reasons. This man was one of those who can not face nor atone for what they did. And I grow utterly furious every time the subject is raised.

Take a pill.
To hear about the shopkeeper, wearing his military decorations from WWI- and having these physically stripped from him- was sobering. So much is said in just that little vignette. Many minor tragedies must have fallen to individual people to cope with, private horror stories unfolding against the backdrop of the overarching tragedy we do know about. Hearing about that shopkeeper, courageously displaying his patriotism (which now meant nothing), made me very sad. Something about that story hit home to me the real nightmare of helplessness that the victims were forced to privately and collectively endure.
Thos was a great & timely documentary to come across.

Forgetting is too common. Even the makers of this documentary have forgotten the murder of the four million non Jews who died in the holocaust. History books since the mid fifties no longer mention them, or at best as a footnote.
What amazing testimonies of the people who lived through the second world war, and saw what happened to Jews. Thank you for this eye-opening and poignant video.
What do you realy know? only the storries, the propaganda... of the winners. The winners were Jewish Elite Bankers who started this war. You know Nothing.
5 million Jews and 25 million Russians. But sure, Jews are your chosen people in Anglo cultures.
Once I watched a similar documentary about a secretary who did the paperwork at a special office in Vienna for Jewish people who fled Austria and Germany because the living conditions became very difficult and unbearable for them.
They asked her what she felt or if she cared about them.
She said she would feel nothing, she would do her work and didn 't think much about them. This would be normal in those days , nobody would really think about it, they were following orders and the paper work was so exhausting that she would be too busy to care about their conditions!
She didn 't recognize the cruelty of her words and later on she showed the reporters her appartement with a balcony and she played akkordeon singing a German or Austrian folk song!

Wow you must be really old yourself by now if your father was a victim of the Nazis..
That is so amazing. I bet your dad was a really good man.
Where and why?
There are stories of people escaping those camps. They were rare.
People escaped from Soviet corrective labor camps.
I even heard rumors that after the war German stragglers were seen in Ukraine and Belorussia. They would mooch food from the locals.
The NKVD would catch them but they were not the big priority. The Bandera people and "forest brothers" were the NKVD priorities.
Are your family Prussian aristocrats?
Unfortunate that the rest of the Allies did not take a leaf out of the Russians book. The Reds had a very correct attitude to the Nazi butchers: They hung the bastards after a short, sharp trial!
There is nothing to learn from the Russians. Their brutality and inhumanity is on a par with Nazis and continues the Nazi legacy to this day. Today Russians are the new Nazis.
And the US brought some Nazi scientists here ro the us and on condition they would work for the US they weren’t tried , put in prison or killed.
They didn't because they needed those same monsters for their projects and scientific research. Western hypocrisy never fails to disgust me
Act like Americans didn’t kill all the Guards at the Concentration Camp they liberated
The Israelis and the Russians were the only ones who punished those German cowards cause both the Americans and British protected them even though they bombed civilians and tortured American and British POWs.

I was stationed in Germany during the 70s. One German told me that he remembered on Crystal Nacht that in Ludwigsburg and the Nazis busted windows of Jewish stores.
They went into the synagogue and ransacked it. They took the Torah scroll outside and were wearing kippahs and kicking the Torah Scroll around.
Then they set fire to the synagogue. The fire department showed up.
But they didn't put the fire out. They just contained the fire to keep it from burning surrounding buildings and houses.
1:16 Ella Lingens testimony is compelling.
My mother was a child, about age 6 at the end of WWII. She lived in a part of Germany that is now Poland. She knew the Holocaust to be true. When she was a young adult, her employer and landlord told her that he had been a guard in a camp. The camps were real, the forced labor and murders. He was at one time visited by survivors who thanked him for allowing them to escape. He looked away rather than shoot them. But yes, he was a part of this and spoke the truth. It impacted him all his life. He never faced any court or jail time, and there must have been many other Germans like him. First hand witnesses.
there are always good people to counteract hatred and war, I have met lots of great German people who despise what their ancestors did
What about the gassing?? Look up the Leucter report. By a jewish gas chamber specialist.
@@dick_richards The Leucter report was compiled by a man claiming it was science when he had no understanding of what he was actually looking for in materials he stole from Auschwitz. He was attempting to prove in a Canadian court that a Holocaust denier was not wrong to say that gassings did not happen. He was thrown out as the expert witness because his report was flawed and false and total bullshit. And the man he attempted to defend was jailed for enciting violence. This report dates from 1988 and disregards the many authentic documents kept by Nazis themselves detailing the products and methods they used. So take that report and make use of it as toilet paper. But decent people wouldn't wipe their arse with it.
@Argenta Lol he literally holds the patents on gas chamber designs. Have you read it or watched his presentation??? I'll bet my next 5 paychecks, you didn't.
Ignorance is bliss, eh??
@Argenta He literally went to Auschwitz himself and found ZERO trace of cyanide. Plus, what's a hanging, electric light bulb doing in an unsealed room full of explosive, poison gasses???? That was originally a 5 room barracks, and why wasn't the smoke stack attached and why were ZERO traces of human remains found in it?? Why???
I know this happened nearly 100 years ago, but that isn't that long ago. I just find it incredible that one group of humans could treat another with such cruelty. Especially children. Babies! The elderly, the sick. Women!
The cruelty happened because those inflicting it didn't see the Jews as human beings, same as the whites in America that treated the blacks with cruelty as well. Many atrocities in every corner of this earth, and still claiming they believe in God.
@@Emy53 thanks for your reply. I know what you're saying and I've heard it mentioned in documentaries over the years but I can't relate to that. They are human beings.

44:00 ... it is sooo important to have an acurate translation to really "understand the RIGHT context" ! This german dude, who is presumably no nazi, as he procecueted the Treblinka killers, does NOT say "Heydrich was assassinated", he says "Heydrich fell victim to an assassination" ... VICTIM ... Heydrich ... victim ... he was completly full of that shit still in this interview !
No, this is definitely not a correct interpretation. By using the expression of "falling victim to an assassination" for Heydrich, Alfred Spiess does in no way suggest that Heydrich was an innocent victim - it is just the kind of correct language he would use as a lawyer. There is no indication from this interview or other sources that Alfred Spiess in any way supported or defended Nazi crimes. Instead, he was instrumental in researching and prosecuting some of the most horrific Nazi crimes.
Back then, Germans and Austrians (and people in many other countries) blindfolded themselves for a variety of reasons. Most of them are shameful. How can somebody take a picture of a human being suffering and do nothing?
Well, the photographs by some were taken maybe to record history. There were many people that risked themselves to help the Jews. Many felt it was unjust, but a whole country uprising was no match to Hitler's army. The Hitler regime didn't care who you were even if you were German. If you helped a Jew, you were subhuman to them as well.
like the people nowdays with their iphones? Those civilized ones who like to start a video recording driving and record bad accidents and go sharing the sufferings online before they drive away? Never calling the police? in the year 2023...the young rich and healthy know better, right...I mean right??
@Þorkell Egilsson agree , 2023 they'd rather film then act & help ...similarities yes ✅️
As I've said on many of these, with no judgment, when you look at history as a whole, at this particular time in history, Germany was not the only Nation doing this, they were one of the first figure out how to kill people on an industrial scale, but there were many other Nations executing mass. Amounts of what they considered lesser people's, that was a normal practice going back for 1000's of years,
I'm not trying to make excuses for what Germany did, I'm just trying to educate people that that was a normal fact of life not only up to then, it also carried on after WWII in China, Russia and many other countries, and even today it still goes on, the difference between all the others and Nazi Germany in modern times is, Germany lost war.
Its happening everyday in our time too, its human behavior..
While in the military, I lived in Germany, and later, in the Middle East. Most Germans would never talk about the war, and as this was the late 1980s, most who had any first-hand knowledge of the war had died, or were becoming very elderly. However, my German neighbor and I once spoke, and he said, in his opinion, that everyone knew the Jews were being killed. And even though many Germans didnt approve, talking about it could land you in jail, and maybe even get you shipped out to a camp too. He said his biggest fear was not the SS, but other people ratting him out. He said it was easy to avoid speaking about it with people in uniforms, but he never knew which of his neighbors might be colaborators, and report him. So, the fate of the Jews became a sort of macabre non-subject among the people. They just avoided the subject outside close family members.
I met more people in the Middle East who believed the Holocaust was fictional than in Germany. I didnt take a poll or anything, but I'd guess at least 75 percent of Saudis believed it was either made up, or vastly exaggerated.

I believe many knew their fate. They didn't cry or scream because at that point, they must have felt no one was coming to save them, not even God, yet I feel that they believed in God until their last breath. I have to respect their beliefs even if I don't understand it.
You should find the Docu, Europa the last battle, this will tell you everything and then you will understand what happened in that time.. its a whole other story then you think now.
They worship the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They don't believe in JC and the NT.
When it comes to faith I believe God allows this to show the rest of his creation how low evil will go. There is a bible text that supports that. The book of revelation speaks about a time when a death degree will take place against a certain group of people loyal to God. Millions of us can see the world shaping up for that time period.
Many denounced god - it was THAT horrible. They lost their faith and felt god had absolutely abandoned any corner he could have hid in.
They even carved the loss of their faith into the walls they were imprisoned in.
To think they all held their faith is absolutely ignorant - and I say that with kindness. I say it’s ignorant to show that it’s silly to assume they held their faith. These people were crushed beyond belief. So BELIEVE me when I tell you - it was worse than you are currently imagining.
Amazing, no questions to Kurt Franz about his sadistic murderous activities. When he was arrested in 1959 a search of his home yielded a scrapbook with horrific photographs titled “beautiful years”.
yeah, infuriating. what a nation and culture of cowards and hand-washers. if you can’t administer justice to this murderer, i guess you don’t care, you just want it all to go away and be forgotten.
Franz claimed that he never hurt anyone....
Here's the problem - if one is "following orders" then the orders come from above. That means that Franz gave orders to sadists at the camps that he ran. So he is responsible for their behaviors.

Thank you for making this documentary.
How can you not see mass murder, when you claim you saw people emaciated, begging for food and water, and dead people lying in the street?
Unless you, your families, friends etc., look and behave in the same manner ( beggiing, starving, and dying), you were witnessing mass murder...no matter how slow and long-suffering is was. To exploit them, by making them work for free, is taking part in the murders.
How can people be so darkened to stand by and say nothing...and do nothing.

Yea like let's NEVER FORGET the 3 MILLION Indians "Uncle Winni' " starved to death by taking their food supplies JUST IN CASE he ran out of food stores in another part of the war......(Just-In-Case) Its called the BENGAL Famine of 1943... ruclips.net/user/shortsOV807zgLalQ Somehow you Never hear about that ! ! WHY? Must not be as important as Jews.........
A ninety plus year old lady from Klagenfurt Austria refuses to believe all those nice foreign volunteers for the SS could do anything bad! There was a training base in Klagenfurt.
After my grandfather and his family were placed at the last nazi base captured my father talked to the Germans and being young he asked how they let this happen and many said that they never saw it coming. Paying attention and being aware is important. Turning your head away from everything that is going on around you will not make it better and being excessive about things can also be a distraction. You have to find a balance and never take anything for granted
I have met multiple Germans who served in that time they all said the same thing the war sucked all the attention up the jews where simply swept away in the hype for many but some say there was nothing that could be done and the one's who did were quickly killed or sent straight to the front line
Aka guaranteed death
Give me a break dude...

How come Nazi trolls always lurk in the shadows, never posting their own comments, instead just spewing their idiotic nonsense on the comments of others? I thought you guys were the superior race, manly men who weren't afraid of anything...

The man speaking from 36 minute mark onwards - he tells these stories in such a matter of fact emotionally detached way - the germans seem to have this quality far more then other nationalities.
He is a scientist, so he gives a scientific relay of events, what’s so strange about that?
Germans are great liars
One of the testimonies about the holocaust by Germans witnesses. It should be adopted to curriculum of schools and universities worldwide. Inspiring!
Why?
Kurt Franz made me feel sick, he was all, "it wasn't me, I didnt know, I wasn't responsible, someone else did it"
Then later he tells how he didnt hate Jews or anyone and didnt see the reason for the killing, indeed he had friends who were Jews etc..
I hope he burns in hell, what a disgusting creature, why was he allowed to live?
He knows a lot more than he’s telling, and every German involved with killings and camps knew it took at least 30 minutes but usually up to an hour and a half to kill people in the death trucks, they all complained about how long it would take killing people that way, he’s pushing hisself to the outside the picture as if not really having done anything or knew of anything wrong going on smh, to all the real ones that truly helped any of the prisoners may they repent, rest in peace and lord please have mercy on them
RASCALS GERMANS should have been NUKED like JAPAN
Terrible. Should not be denied or forgotten.
HA, I want a rerun

And it doesn't stop here, Americans are going to experience about the same thing with the New world Order, I've always believe that history repeats itself in one way or another,My sincere condolences to all that went through the Holocaust, may they rest in peace 🕊️
Screw the Democrats .
History doesn’t exactly repeat, but it rhymes. That is the problem, if it repeated , one could say “oh no , I recognize this, we are not letting this happen.” But because it rhymes , one doesn’t recognize the pattern until one is in the midst of it.
Linda..you are SPOT ON. Yes, the new world order wants this so bad. Luciferians. All of them. God have mercy on us all.
@Nicole Channel ,thank you, you are 💯 accurate!!!
Not only Americans the western world you mean, and they are the same enemies now as in the time of WW2.. but for that to understand you need more knowledge
What is the point? The only guy who shows any guilt or emotion at all about their parts in the murder of 10 million human beings is the guy who lifted up off his chair with his eyes bugging out of his head filled with rage. The only one. The others are almost smiling as they calmly relate their stories! The one with the pictures he took in the Warsaw Ghettos disgusted me! The guy in the green jacket and white beard said "We weren't under orders to gas people every day" so was he ever charged? Were these men not investigated as War Criminals?
Kurt Franz 53.oo minutes onward was telling the truth when he said he did not have much to do with the gas chambers and such , however when it came to the work jews who had been kept alive there was no worse bully ,coward and sadist , in all my studies of the SS he was truly on of the worst , training his st bernard Barry to attack genitals ect. and making the lives of those who`s lot was ulready unbearable a living nightmare , he was possibly the worst SS man during that whole phase of the holocaust , I am sure there were others as bad , but I dont see how they could have been any worse .
Eisenhour went to personally view these horrors specifically for this reason, so no one could deny what he had seen with his own eyes!
And he also starved 2 million german pow's in open air camps by breaking international law by classifying them as "enemy combatants" Guy was an evil and wanted to eradicate the germanic race.
That was all BS
Incredibly important documentary. Is there a longer version, or a second part? There are people at the end that I don't remember seeing interviewed.
Profound Gratitude to the Man who spoke against the Nazi thugs! Truly Righteous. I hope he received decorations and respect for his rare decency and bravery.
Someone very wise said the evil it not "out there" but crosses every man's heart.
In the sixties I studied the second World War.Our history teacher spent some effort to cover war crimes .He included the fire bombing of Dresden .He explained that if we had lost the war people would have hanged for this .He spent a strange amount of time going over this in some detail.His mood was strange .I later learned that he was on these raids.
Your professor sounds like a balanced,well studied, logical person
I flew on the dresden mission... the true story of dresden has never been told...
@@jamescrane1987 - ahh read Fred Taylors Dresden 1945 book in auckland libirary- it had nasty events in it. Yank pilots the worse as they shot at anything that moved in daylight includeing zoo animals.
@@jamescrane1987 any way to find the true story?
@@ImreAMXit’s not a secret. The Allies firebombed Dresden, which wasn’t really an important military target, as retribution to kill civilians.
The denial by perpetrators of any responsibility for their crimes is always quite amazing, as though they were simply onlookers.
I dont understand, nazis thought they were the good people and what they did was just. Why would they say what they did was wrong?
Very insightful, disturbing, sad, unsettling, though provoking. I cannot describe the mixture of emotions I had while watching this. Brilliantly done. Thank you.
I don't believe the world will ever change. History will repeat itself somewhere- different people, different settings, but the same hatred, prejudice and "-isms" will prevail...
Eugenics and oppression/exploitation of Black Americans were adopted by Hitler, then horrifically modified. SCOTUS Associate Justice, Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr, wrote the 8-1 majority opinion in Buck v. Bell, a case that upheld the Virginia Sterilization Act of 1924 - forced sterilization of institutionalized persons (USA) in the interest of "public welfare" outweighing the interest of individuals in their bodily integrity - the Virginia sterilization law.
Agree
And the way they get this to happen is they don't teach REAL HISTORY, just the spoon-fed slop the victors construed. You know the saying, Those Who Win The War Get To Write The History ! ! Outlets like this definitely help curtail that. Read The Unseen Hand by Ralph Epperson and you'll see just how slanted the history govts. WANT you to know really is........
And, so they will...
Hitler spent 10 years , preparing before he was elected , Joe Biden has been busy for decades . Freedom of speech was hitlers menacing tool , Biden is interfering with freedom of speech today . FOOD rationing was another tool of Hitler , along with division of communities , Biden has FBI infiltrating church groups , DISMANTELLING THE FOUNDATIONS OF EVERYTHING IS THE WAY OF TYRANTS , FOOD RATIONING IS COMING TO THE USA, OBIDEN IS A TYRANT .
75 years later an some of these people are acting like.. no big deal.wow.. this could happen again
Im concerned here with WOKE.
WHEN I WENT TO EUROPE I REFUSED TO GO TO GERMANY OR AUSTRIA. I WOULD NOT SPEND ONE DIME IN THOSE COUNTRIES. GOAT NATIONS.
The bible says , The sins of the father shall visit the son.--- we have to learn otherwise the sins will return.
Die Österreicher hatten in der Corona- Zeit schon wieder die Ungeimpften markieren wollen....
Diese Leute sind wegen des blinden Gehorsams so verachtenswert!!!
I agree with you
To me all Germans and Austrians back then were monsters because they all knew and cooperated with Hitler. Germans were happy with Hitler cause he was going to bring them riches. They didn't care about gassing the Jews nor bombing innocent people in other countries. They only cared when it was their turn to be bombed. That said- Germans today are not the same as the monsters back then. They are completely different cause they have taken steps not to follow their grandparents. So it's is okay to travel to Germany and Austria.
That’s just silly.
Great stories and first-hand testimonies.
Since time began, humans have revelled in xenophobia and cruelty.
Sadly, we as a species have learned nothing...so sad 🙏🇬🇧😢
I’m watching this with morbid curiosity. I wish to learn how an advanced civilization can descend to such depths of barbarism so that I can recognize the signs precluding it’s reoccurrence.
These people hit the depths of depravity. Why were they even allowed to live after taking part in such monstrosity?
What would you do in their shoes?
Germans protected them all the way. That tells you that Germans knew, all of them.
well the members of the Christian Churches protected them and helped them get new identities, especially the bishops, some Cardinals and thousands upon thousand of lay catholics from all over Europe,and the Vatican,who ensured these reptiles and monsters got money jobs property and new identities in the Fascist Catholic countries of South America, Spain, Ireland, and even Britian the USA and Australia.
This is Amazing! A Very Important Doco.
This is such a valuable film. Thank you for posting.
Listening to these guys wanted to make me puke. How the strong would climb to the top and the weak would die at the bottom. Just listening to how they were killed in detail was just to much for me to take. The Germans showed what a man could do to another man, to innocent women and children, was beyond comprehension, and beyond imagination and pure evil. Just mind blowing and beyond words that can describe a living hell. How they can sit there and describe what took place is beyond me.
And they went on to live their best lives, becoming Europe's economic powerhouse...Truly sickening.
@@ThisNinjaSays_ That's cause Americans betrayed their own people and funneled money into Germany. Money that was supposed to be for poor Americans specially minorities. Do you know that black soldiers who fought in WW2 went back to a segregated cruel country?
@@ThisNinjaSays_ cruel animals.
that was excellent..it shows how very important personal testimonies from those that were there is.
You see kiddy's this isn't ancient history the war ended only 77 year's ago
The photographs, as horrific as they are, serve to record history. They are the proof that these human beings were persecuted because of their culture and beliefs. Those that did the persecution believed in God. This is not what God wanted. This is why I have stepped away from religion. This is pure "human" against "human" hatred and prejudices.
The Holocaust is the reason I am an atheist.
It doesn't prove any such thing
Also the concentration camps in the East. Didn't feature emaciated people.
It was in the west due to allied bombings crippling the infrastructure
You forget all those who helped and did what they could and so many lost their lives saving others. This horror shows the depths humans can sink to but we couldn’t recognize it if there weren’t heights of goodness to compare it to. People have choices to go either way. We are not puppets on a string.
@@louisecordier9428 it's lies
Actually Hitler was not a believer in God. He believed that Christian faith was founded in Judaism. He persecuted Jehovah's witnesses as well as other faiths that stood against his rule.
Oh my God. How can anyone hate that much?😪😥😢😭
And we're still alive, jews forever, never forget
It's easy to say I had nothing to do with it. Yes u do every! Everyone had a task. A football team has eleven players and it's like a defender says I had nothing to do with the goal scoring and the winning, u didn't score, but as a defender u were defending and passing the ball to ur team-mates. Maybe you didn't do the gassing, but u were a part of the whole picture! So in my opinion they all responsible n I'm not talking about the civilians, but those guards, doctors, ones doing the selections, etc in the camps!
So you’re responsible for ISIS?
Thank you for creating this video. I hope this kind of atrocity will not repeat in the human history any more.
But it will happen again… and again
