A neighbor of my father who is now in her early 90s was in Auswitch as a child and still remembers her mother being killed. She is always kind and forgiving. She was a twin from Denmark. I will never know how she stayed saine.
I was lucky enough to spend time with and listen to a Ausutwittz survivor in the 6th grade. Seeing how entranced I was she took me aside & told me to never look away from what they did. I've watched every reel, video, & picture taken of what these devils did! I'll always remember her. I can still see her beautiful face.
I remember Demjanjuk in the 80s. US actually deported him to Israel to stand trail for war crimes against jews. Soviets had evidence he was not the man Israel and US thought he was. But the Soviets waited... I remember watching witness after witness, 5 total, seething with anger and hate, fingers pointing at Demjanjuk, claiming beyond any doubt whatsoever he was the person who committed the crimes. After the expected guilty verdict and sentence of death was pronounced, the Soviets then released the information they had which proved Demjanjuk was not the person in question.

I visited Auschwitz and Birkenau in 2023. This devil, Hoss, even had his 'villa' (where his wife and children resided), on the grounds of the camp! Their second floor bedroom windows had a view of the gallows. Perfectly played by his captors and executioners, Hoss was hanged with the same view his family would have had. Visiting this place has changed me forever... 😢 May we never see these horrors again. 🕊
At my first job there was an older man there who I never once heard speak. When I questioned someone about this I was told that he was a member of 63 Anti-Tank Regiment, Royal Artillery and was one of the first British Soldiers to enter Belsen.
When I visited Auschwitz, I found the gallows, on which Hoess was hanged (and is still there) was one of the most impactful reminders of what he and the SS did there. It’s next to the crematoria. We should never forget the unspeakable inhumanity perpetrated by the Nazis.
I was there the winter of 1972. I met several survivers, they never talked about it, they just wanted to forget, I respected that. The sad thing is we never learn from the past.....the hatered and insanity just goes on.
@@gowdsake7103 All the evidence points to there being an Ultimate Judge....and it's US, it's you and me.

What a gruesome story. How could any man or woman be so cruel and order the death of so many people in the most inhumane ways? It was fitting he was given a death sentence and it was carried out in the camp he once commanded. Thank you for this painful history lesson.
As a 16 yr. old girl I asked a survivor of the camps what happened to the guards who abused him and he told me, he and many other POWs beat them to death with their bare fists.
My Dad was in the first British troops that liberated Bergen Belsen. What I know was told to me by my Mum. He would never speak to anyone else about it. A few years ago I found some photos of the liberation online and there was my 25 year old Dad.
@@vintagetreasures That was because what he saw didn't match the official narrative. What he saw was caused by the British bombing campaign that caused shortages of food and supplies. The consequence was typhus and starvation.

When they slaughter civilian men, women and children and bring war to Gaza… when they hide amongst their fellow citizens… we can expect a lot of civilian casualties. It happens in all wars. Should we have not bombed German cities to beat the Nazis because civilians would die? Hamas can stop all deaths of their people today by surrendering. But they won’t because they don’t care if their people die. They believe that anyone killed is a martyr that will go straight to heaven. Also ask yourself why a fellow Muslim country, Egypt, that has a border crossing with Gaza, has not let in any refugees.

The seeds of this atrocity sits in the heart of all humans ,those that deny this are likely most likely to fall victim to the forces that manifest this horror . That is why it must not be forgotten , retribution, false witness, lies, lust, arrogance , revenge , jealously , hate infect all of us . Being aware of this is the only guard that allows our better angels of compassion , love, empathy to rise beyond the emotional weight to succumb to those basil animal instincts.
I remember reading the comment of one of Germany's famous statesmen who said something like , " Morals arent the German persons strongpoint , but put a uniform on him and they disappear out of the window ". On the other hand, I read somewhere that 15,000 German civilians were executed for helping Jewish people escape .
Probably because the Nazis hated Freemasonry and so did the Vatican, and also the Vatican were probably scared that Hitler started big time on Catholics!
And the role the Americans played, in giving their scientists jobs after the war, and the role the Vichy French played, many of whom went on to become civil servants and retired with good pensions.
I'm very sorry for all the suffering and pain that you and your family went through and continue to go through. I didn't mean any harm to anyone with my comments only the possibility that someone like Hoss could ask Jesus for forgiveness and if he meant it he could be in heaven. But I still believe we get crown and they are based on our lives here. So I'm sure what that would be like for a person that did commits great evil to others. God bless you and yours!
How random. "Yeah guys, after we arrest this war criminal we're assigned to replace the handles on these old axes, so I'll just leave this box of new ones here."
The book "Hans and Rudolf" by Thomas Harding covers this subject in more detail. It's a compelling read that parallels the life of Hoess and Hans Alexander, the German-Jewish British Army officer who hunted him after the war.
Little Known Fact: Were it not for the betrayal of trust by a Catholic Priest of Höss confession to his father, he would have entered the priesthood. Instead he was aimless until he encountered the Nazi party. This episode was described in Höss autobiography, "Commandant of Auschwitz : The Autobiography of Rudolf Hoess"

Actually, the Red Army liberated Auschwitz. Maybe your British medic somehow made it there later (but it was controlled by the Soviets, so I don't know when that would have been possible). The British only liberated one major concentration/death camp - Bergen-Belsen.
Imagine coming to terms with the fact that the man before you had m*rdered without compassion millions of men, women and children. And that you had seen at first hand the remains of his command and not seek retribution in the most basic way possible? I think anyone of us would have done the same.
Good morning, and Thank You. Your videos are Excellent! All your Research, Time, and Effort are Appreciated. Thank You for showing these Evil creatures 's Faces, and Names.
But what have we learned from Auschwitz? Learning about the Holocaust tells us not only about "then" and "there" but also about "here" and "now. After all, the dynamics and vices that made the horrors of the Holocaust possible, as well as the attitudes people adopted to stand up to unwanted influence and not fall into the trap of absolute obedience are also found in our own lives and society. The correct knowledge of the past and the importance of remembering and commemorating should be central, while also always scrutinizing the human behaviours that caused intolerance and exploitation, or resistance and positive change. That mirror of the past can be a way to achieve respectful dialogue now and in our contemporary society, characterized by super-diversity, and to work toward a world where positivity and connectedness triumph over hate, indifference and evil. Yesterday's cruelty must be known by our children to defend today's democracy. Democracy is a battle of every day. Forgetting is dangerous for humanity, for as Winston Churchill said: "A nation that forgets its past, is doomed to repeat it."
Then I guess Britain forgot the past altogether when they set up the concentrations camps to imprison the Kukuyu people during and after the Mau "rebellion" in Kenya in the late 1940s-early 1950s. Rape, torture, murder of women and children, forced labour, and starvation were the order of the day. Those camps created monsters like Uganda's Idi Amin who was taught how to torture his fellow Africans by British officers. Read Caroline Elkins' Pulitzer Prize winning book "Imperial Reckoning". All the Brits learned from the camps was how to do it themselves.
His sentence could never atone for the evil these people did to the millions they tortured and killed. I think Germans should never be pardoned for their part in this disgusting act
Repeated public degradation as fueled by Hitler to the point certain peoples (Jews and Roma among others) are no longer viewed as humans. He pinned Germany’s and the world’s woes on them. He envisioned a master German race and decided slaughtering them was how he wanted to accomplish it. Let me be clear - I’m not justifying any of it. It is a scourge on humanity that must never ever happen again. Hearing Trump essentially quote Hitler regarding immigrants, foreigners, and Muslims among others should terrify us all and disqualify him from ever holding office again. Hitler created a Cult of personality that was bought into (brainwashed into?) by a huge portion of Germans of the 1930’s and 40’s. They would willingly commit the most heinous of crimes on every level. It is horrifying to see history repeating itself with Trump. But sadly here we are 🥺
@@ReadTheHoaxof20thCenturyto the victors the spoils. Why would those evil men even think that they would be treated with respect after what they had done.
It's due in part to their inability to see their victims as human and their belief that "just following orders" relieved them of responsibility. It's how National Socialism corrupted their brains.
This could all happen again at any time. Look at the language about people who did not take the you know what during c0nv1d. Numerous countries talked about camps etc
I'm ashamed to say this about anyone's soul but I hope each and every second of the rest of eternity, his soul is experiencing the most agonizing pain imaginable by the human mind.
I feel bad for all the suffering that has occurred in any concentration camp whether it’s Nazi concentration camps, communist, Russian concentration, camps, or Chinese concentration camps. This action is still going on in China whether they admit it or not just like the Germans never admitted this yet when they got caught, there was no denying it and they paid the price in essence. What I am saying any death that is unnecessary is very disturbing and sad.
Absolutely even America has had camps not many but a bit .Look into the Japanese one here it happened and should not have. There is never a reason to have these places and its never ok to commit genocide and the murder of people because you don't like something about them. God bless you and yours.
„I commanded Auschwitz until December 1945“ has to be a mistake, I’m sure it must have been 44, the camp was liberated January 27th 1945. hard to believe they let him continue his command for almost a year after that😬
Original estimates: 2.5 million for 1000 days= 2400 per 24 hours, 104 per hour, 24 hours per day. in May of 1944 430,000 killed in 56 days = 316 per hour for 56 days.
Rudolf Hess He served a life sentence in Spandau Prison; I know I lived down the road from the prison in Berlin and on occasions watch him escorted to a British military hospital for check ups: the Soviet Union blocked repeated attempts by family members and prominent politicians to procure his early release. While still in custody as the only prisoner in Spandau, he hanged himself in 1987 at the age of 93.
Men of evil get others to do the dirty work. In the end you alone are the keeper of the soul. When we stand before God we cannot say "I was told by others to do thus or that there was place for virtue at the time".

I have seen very good motion pictures of hoss arriving at the army base after his capture. In fact the still pictures of him standing behind the army truck that delivered him, are taken from the movie. In the film it shows him exiting the truck and then boarding a plane. I have seen it 3 or 4 times, but a search for it yields nothing. There is also a picture of Hoss with Martin bormann when they were in their early 20s that I see once and a while but it can't be found with a search.
1:49 "He claimed at the trial that I commanded Auschwitz until the 1st of December 1945." Damn sure he didn't. The war was over on the 8th May 1945. Finished there with a Thumbs Down.
I really like watching your videos. I keep looking for an image of my father - but nothing yet. At the end of World War II, the US Government issed books that detailed all of these episodes and more. I do not know if those books could be gotten from maybe the Library of Congress. They might aid you in making these videos. Just a thought.
It blows my mind how much people kniw about Auchwitz, but how few kniw about: The Congo under Leopold II (9-10 million killed in 4 years) The Armenian Genocide: 1915-1916 Great Leap Forward (China) 35-50 million dead under Mao.
I watched the USA soldiers 35 mm films they made when entering the death camps. I was about 7 or 8 years of age. I now know that was a traumatic experience. Now at the age off 65 I know it happened time after time after time and it will continue to happen. Human kind is a sick race and breath.

Then I guess Britain forgot the past altogether when they set up the concentrations camps to imprison the Kukuyu people during and after the Mau "rebellion" in Kenya in the late 1940s-early 1950s. Rape, torture, murder of women and children, forced labour, and starvation were the order of the day. Those camps created monsters like Uganda's Idi Amin who was taught how to torture his fellow Africans by British officers. Read Caroline Elkins' Pulitzer Prize winning book "Imperial Reckoning". All the Brits learned from the camps was how to do it themselves.
December 1, 1945?????
You got that quote wrong.
It was 1943.
By December of ‘45, that camp had already been shut down for almost a year.
Thank you. Excellent.
His sentence could never atone for the evil these people did to the millions they tortured and killed. I think Germans should never be pardoned for their part in this disgusting act
“Germans not to be pardoned” - and how do you propose exactly to carry it out?
Both the previous owner of my house and myself have been to Auschwitz. I didn't stay there, she sadly had to against her will.
How do you become an expert in mass murder ,murdering 1 person I find impossible to comprehend
playing dumb comrade?
Repeated public degradation as fueled by Hitler to the point certain peoples (Jews and Roma among others) are no longer viewed as humans. He pinned Germany’s and the world’s woes on them. He envisioned a master German race and decided slaughtering them was how he wanted to accomplish it.
Let me be clear - I’m not justifying any of it. It is a scourge on humanity that must never ever happen again.
Hearing Trump essentially quote Hitler regarding immigrants, foreigners, and Muslims among others should terrify us all and disqualify him from ever holding office again. Hitler created a Cult of personality that was bought into (brainwashed into?) by a huge portion of Germans of the 1930’s and 40’s. They would willingly commit the most heinous of crimes on every level.
It is horrifying to see history repeating itself with Trump. But sadly here we are 🥺
After what those Nazis did, why did they think their treatment in the hands of the allied forces that they would be treated with kid gloves?
Were we the baddies then ?
@@ReadTheHoaxof20thCenturyto the victors the spoils. Why would those evil men even think that they would be treated with respect after what they had done.
It's due in part to their inability to see their victims as human and their belief that "just following orders" relieved them of responsibility. It's how National Socialism corrupted their brains.
This could all happen again at any time. Look at the language about people who did not take the you know what during c0nv1d. Numerous countries talked about camps etc
He was probably very lucky to even get a trial!
I'm ashamed to say this about anyone's soul but I hope each and every second of the rest of eternity, his soul is experiencing the most agonizing pain imaginable by the human mind.
I feel bad for all the suffering that has occurred in any concentration camp whether it’s Nazi concentration camps, communist, Russian concentration, camps, or Chinese concentration camps. This action is still going on in China whether they admit it or not just like the Germans never admitted this yet when they got caught, there was no denying it and they paid the price in essence. What I am saying any death that is unnecessary is very disturbing and sad.
Absolutely even America has had camps not many but a bit .Look into the Japanese one here it happened and should not have. There is never a reason to have these places and its never ok to commit genocide and the murder of people because you don't like something about them. God bless you and yours.
How does a human being turn into this kind of monster.
Religion
@@gowdsake7103 I don't think that's fare. A Cult maybe/Brainwashing. Something very evil no doubt.
@@gowdsake7103It’s not religion. It’s indoctrination.
Ikr. The question that scares me is could this ever be me?
The irony of the commandant of Auschwitz complaining about his treatment while in jail.
„I commanded Auschwitz until December 1945“ has to be a mistake, I’m sure it must have been 44, the camp was liberated January 27th 1945. hard to believe they let him continue his command for almost a year after that😬
I picked up on that as well.
Well.. it’s not Mark Felton is it.
Imagine what you have to do to bring the SS into shame and disrepute!
His wife revealed his location not to the allies but to the Russians because they threatened they would sent her son to Siberia.
I love this narrator's voice . They were not men but evil fiends.
Original estimates: 2.5 million for 1000 days= 2400 per 24 hours, 104 per hour, 24 hours per day. in May of 1944 430,000 killed in 56 days = 316 per hour for 56 days.
Rudolf Hess He served a life sentence in Spandau Prison; I know I lived down the road from the prison in Berlin and on occasions watch him escorted to a British military hospital for check ups: the Soviet Union blocked repeated attempts by family members and prominent politicians to procure his early release. While still in custody as the only prisoner in Spandau, he hanged himself in 1987 at the age of 93.
Watch Zone of Interest about Hoess
He was not “solely responsible” for all those deaths, he had a lot of help, that remain unpunished and unrepentant.
Men of evil get others to do the dirty work. In the end you alone are the keeper of the soul. When we stand before God we cannot say "I was told by others to do thus or that there was place for virtue at the time".
@@markwarnberg9504I just watched Kingdom of Heaven. Baldwin, the leper king, says almost exactly what you said to another man.
@@stevenmclaren2730 Yes it is. One of the most profound statements I´v ever heard. Pass it on.
@@markwarnberg9504 I like it, but I'm not superstitious, so I won't be worrying about my soul or explaining myself to a god.
@@ammocan2796 while you are asleep at the wheel, I love learning about the world and my environment. You relax back on your feather bed of religion if you want to. I will continue to learn and grow. Our destination is the same, it is about your journey there. I know more about world religions than you. I know this x
I don't think that man could have been beaten enough and put through enough pain for what he did --- perhaps hell will remind him of this for all eternity ...
He was an evil man. "However " he knew how too run a production line.
Absolutely disgusting and profoundly evil
I don’t agree with what is happening in Gaza now, but you must look at this history of what Jewish people have suffered to understand the reaction to being attacked and the thinking behind it on that horrific day last year
I have seen very good motion pictures of hoss arriving at the army base after his capture. In fact the still pictures of him standing behind the army truck that delivered him, are taken from the movie. In the film it shows him exiting the truck and then boarding a plane. I have seen it 3 or 4 times, but a search for it yields nothing. There is also a picture of Hoss with Martin bormann when they were in their early 20s that I see once and a while but it can't be found with a search.
Numbers are overwhelming. One victim was the beautiful kind good and smart 12 year old girl from the Netherlands. Her name was ann .
Brits take the Geneva convention seriously. But not in the case of Hoss.
I wonder if he was overseeing the J6 concentration Kamp currently active in D.C.?
i visited Auschwitz/Birkenau in 1997.it was almost a case of seeing it to believe it.
1:49 "He claimed at the trial that I commanded Auschwitz until the 1st of December 1945." Damn sure he didn't. The war was over on the 8th May 1945. Finished there with a Thumbs Down.
you have got the voice for this
I have never heard an accent quite like this, I think it sounds awful, irritating.
War is always bad and the victors are always the worst.
Life in a tough prison is a better punishment.
WE MUST NEVER FORGET!!!
I really like watching your videos. I keep looking for an image of my father - but nothing yet. At the end of World War II, the US Government issed books that detailed all of these episodes and more. I do not know if those books could be gotten from maybe the Library of Congress. They might aid you in making these videos. Just a thought.
He found a conscience? I doubt it
Playing the victim seems to have been the usual response.
What goes round comes round in the end and every human being will give an account of their lives before God one day,Heaven or hell thats it.
Aww bless your iron age superstitious ignorance
He was the last person executed at Ausutwittz. Sometimes life gives justice the way it’s supposed to be given.
It blows my mind how much people kniw about Auchwitz, but how few kniw about: The Congo under Leopold II (9-10 million killed in 4 years)
The Armenian Genocide: 1915-1916
Great Leap Forward (China) 35-50 million dead under Mao.
I watched the USA soldiers 35 mm films they made when entering the death camps. I was about 7 or 8 years of age. I now know that was a traumatic experience. Now at the age off 65 I know it happened time after time after time and it will continue to happen. Human kind is a sick race and breath.
Then you will probably want to read the title in my u'sername
"I'm against the death penalty. It's murder and it's not ok under any circumstance!"
See how stupid that sounds when your talking about murderers?
married an owl, nuff said
The ROUGH arrest !!!!! ??
This is happening today in north korea. To their own people..
Oh, poor baby. The way he was treated?
The gallows are not the original one, But the replica one is still on the same site
Those weren’t photos of Rudolph Hoss. You should show the real Rudolph Hoss.
