Sadly you will find many people who deny that it ever happened... people always say never again ... but ppl will do it again. It's just a matter of time as the nation's become more radical ... I would suggest you as a couple, watch Schindler's List .. it's a tough movie to watch (and it's long) but UT will give you a true feeling if what 1 plus 1 plus 1 really looks like....
it's not just a failure of the school system, it's a complete lack of intellectual curiosity by people. The majority of 'things' you know where not from school, but Osmosis, you just pick them up from other people, media, books. It would i think be harder not to know about the holocaust then to know about it. Schools are part of the problem, but not the only culprit, i hate the expression well i never learnt this at school, when you leave school that's not the end of your learning, it's the start.
@@davidrenton very true. Sadly people would rather keep up with what the latest tiktok dance is and who Kim Kardashian is currently pregnant by. All knowledge that will not pay dividends. I used to get in trouble for asking my parents too many questions about how everything worked and why and so on. End up being a valuable teammate on trivia night, and more importantly find the world more interesting with the understanding of history and science.
@@joshua_madison i'm british , born after the vietnam war, but when i was 12 ish brought all these books on it, studied them , probaly it was just after the movie 'platoon' came out. Had nothing to do with my School work, we might have covered it briefly. so i was quite the well informed 12 year on that war, which probaly makes me a bit odd compared to my peers. Schools are not there to fill your brains with every bit of information, they alongside parents are there to facilitate the tools within you to learn, reading, writing, summarisation skills, critque, analysis and say there now go out and learn it yourself, you have the skillset My parents where not rich , but 2 things stand out, we always went to museums as a kid, i grew up in London , so had a wide choice, but be it birthday, christmas, there was always a smattering of books alongside toys. Those books would be fiction, non fiction and i grew to love reading at an early age
@@davidrenton it is a failure of the school system as they stopped talking about the vile shit that happened in the past and the media for spinning it to be about something it is not.
Infants sure but children by the what third grade maybe that's a little young but 4th grade anyway should have some rough idea of most big wars and what they entailed.
@@sabin97. There have been other genocides, the Turkish genocide of the Armenians comes to mind, but “The Holocaust” denotes the specific WWII genocide attempt of the Jews as carried out by the Germans.
they are all survivors what about the BOLSHEVIK (communist jews ) who ran the soviet union and murdered 100 million white russians and 20 million germans and 30 million ukranians ? watch HELLSTORM learn some facts , the ONLY HOLOCAUST WAS IN DRESDEN
no one should have to live what german did in 20s and thats why they got rid of marxist and communist . and the bolsheviks (jewish communist) killed 66 MILLION white russians and 30 million ukrainians and germans soo cry me a river
As a Jew, I just want to make it known that other victims also deserve respect. Gays, handicaps, romans, black people, russian prisoners were also killed.
Exactly, Jews were definitely the biggest target. However this video is outright false when it came to blacks in Germany. They were persecuted and killed also.
@@AguedaG I knew him as "Spanish Schindler". Honestly, anyone who helped even 1 person, was a hero. peoples lives were worth very little back then. so it was a huge risk.
@@zanccarrdo Actually there is no evidence of a targeting of blacks, those that were killed were jews it was not because they were black it was because they were Jewish.
Oh and are we not repeating that hystory right now with the russiaphobia?seems that way to me.come on the other day a polish bloke was comparing putin to hitler...so?
My take: Our young are being purposefully denied real education and are getting indoctrination instead. We are being force fed a steady diet of DEI, Social Justice and extreme racism disguised as diversity. Our leaders want a dumbed down population they can control that have zero education or knowledge to understand that everything they tell us is a lie. Science has been corrupted by politics and agendas. The media is invested in pushing an agenda and the truth is called misinformation. America, including Canada, is being manipulated in very similar fashion to 1930s Germany. Instead of Jews and minorities, the enemy they have chosen to demonize are white people, and anyone that supports the values the US was founded on.....freedom, small government, personal responsibility, and dispersed authority, mostly on the local level, then state. Our federal government is so far beyond its Constitutional limits, I doubt is it possible to reverse it with the administrative state and politicians we have. Voting when there are no candidates that support the reduction of federal power is meaningless. This uneducated, indoctrinated population just votes for whoever will give them things, like free healthcare or forgiving their student loans. Selfishness is the current American value. We are watching our country go down the tubes and there is nothing we can really do about it. I am glad I am almost 60 but I fear for the young people who will end up dealing with a collapse or dictatorship if the government continues down this path. This is by design...Canada, the UK and Europe are all dealing with similar issues..all being pushed by some power that is hiding from view. Call me paranoid, but you cannot deny it is happening.
No, but they know about the umpteen thousand flavors of gender. That's why the department of 'education' needs to be either disbanded or completely replaced with sane people. One's not pushing an agenda... of *ANY* sort. Ones just interested in making sure our children are well rounded and well educated in *facts,* not indoctrinated into one particular ideology.
@@ladyalaina42 i might be the other way around - bad politicians teaching "american supremacy" and the chanting of " USA #!" - lets show trhem the videos of America turning back that ship of escaping jews to Nazi Germany (other countries did this aswell but USA prides itself of beeing a "safe haven" for the opressed... atleast it says so on the statue of liberty)
They don't teach it so that when people use terms like dictator and holocaust, the masses being told that don't have context and just accept it as "really bad" without understanding what it really is. That's the same way you end up getting people calling Jews Nazis. They just associate Nazis with "far right" and call Ben Shapiro a Nazi, not realizing he'd be one of the many people the Nazis would be trying to genocide.
Coming from England I find it so very disturbing that young people are so lacking in history education. I don’t think anybody in Europe is ignorant about the holocaust. America needs to up their education levels something is very lacking
I'm Irish, at our last census (2022), the population of Ireland was just over 5 million people. If my entire country was wiped out, it would be still less people killed than the number of Jews murdered by the Nazis during the Holocaust... that is a very sobering thought.
And these are still ONLY the Jewish victims of the Nazis, not even counting Sinti & Roma, homosexuals, Christian priests, communists and disabled people...
I write about this era and these topics. I teach this. On the Eastern Front of WWII alone, the number of soldiers killed plus the civilians who were systematically murdered by Germans and Russians equals the entire population of California. Nearly 40 million.
This is a very simplistic explanation, remember the nazi party came to power in the early 1930's and immediately started to round up all they regarded as not required, gypsy's slavs, mentally and physically disabled, the educated, and dissenters.
In the 80's, a friend of mine had a Social Studies teacher who called the Holocaust a lie and wouldn't accept anyone saying it happened. Well, my friend's grandfather was an US Army photographer with one of the units that liberated a Concentration Camp. My friend told his grandpa, his grandpa took copies of the pictures he took at said Concentration Camp to the school principal and raised holy hell as he showed the proof of what he saw with his own eyes... The teacher was fired and no one ever dared say the Holocaust never happened while Craig was at that school.
Best check the dates on those photos. What month were they liberated, does the weather appear as it should? These lies keep being repeated. As for the US education system, they have terrorized every generation with film of bulldozers pushing emaciated bodies into ditches for several decades. The media continues to push the Anne frank lie too. There exists an agenda here.
Unfortunately, that view has become mainstream. Recent events show that the truth does not matter if it goes against people's interests. Here in Israel I saw hundreds of missiles exploding over my city with my own eyes , yet I guarantee someone here will tell me I'm lying even though our enemies proudly speak of doing it.
The rabbit hole of ignorance goes even deeper. Most of those that claim to know about the Holocaust don't know this term was used to describe the Armenian genocide before later being used to describe the Jewish one.
In 77 I visited the Dachau Camp outside Munich. The tour guide was a survivor and she showed us her Tattoo'd #. When asked why she kept it. "To remind the world what happened here and else where during the Holocaust. .She told us stories that me a lot of us GI's Cry.........I will never forget her name "Miram".....
There are many, many documentaries detailing the holocaust, but an example of the many brave kindnesses is revealed in this 1:50m clip of Sir Nicholas Winton (aka 'Britain's Schindler') meeting up again not just with one of the children he rescued at the time, but...well, the clip speaks for itself. It's heartwarming and overwhelmingly heartbreaking at the same time. ruclips.net/video/6_nFuJAF5F0/видео.html
good then you can watch HELLSTORM AND LEARN SOME FACTS - what about the BOLSHEVIK (communist jews ) who ran the soviet union and murdered 100 million white russians and 20 million germans and 30 million ukranians ? watch HELLSTORM learn some facts , the ONLY HOLOCAUST WAS IN DRESDEN
I knew a lady that survived the concentration camps. I saw the tattoo on her arm. After all the years that had passed she still woke in the night in terror. She passed away a few years ago. It was my privilege to know her.
@jerzykiler4386 This lady was a citizen of Poland. I know they were German camps and no one was spared. @TaySteph If you are into reading there is a book "The Diary of Ann Frank", a young girl living in hiding for most of the war.

Imagine when they hear about Mao's Great Leap Forward, Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge, Japan's Unit 731, The Armenian Genocide, Stalin's Gulags and Che Guevara's Camps for Gays.
Problem is is there's no brown or black people that were killed in these situation so of course no one would know about this other than historians and people that actually read world history.
My father had older brothers that were murdered by the Nazis. One was only a toddler. My grandmother was so traumatized by her children being shot to death that, to this day, we don't even know what one of them was named. She couldn't bear to speak their names.
How tragic! I’m so sorry - but very glad that both your grandmother and father survived. Painful as much of it is, thank God we continue to not only exist but mostly to thrive and increase our numbers.
yes, I'm an Israeli jew and half my family went through the holocaust in poland. it's very common that survivors of the holocaust don't speak about what they went through. at all. it was also considered rude to ask. it's just too big a trauma to unpack.
Tay & Steph, glad to see you getting some awareness of how bad it was. However, "The Fallen of WW2" will give you a realistic perspective on the numbers and what they mean in terms of human lives. It is an award winning documentary you can see here on YT. The real numbers and what they represent will shock and sicken you. You just won't believe how many people around the world were killed.
I don't see movies much anymore, but, there was a t.v. series about this year's ago. It was called The Holocaust. It started with a bunch of people locked in a building that was burning. The series was excellent.
The fact that anyone born in the last 30yrs or so know nothing about the Holocaust, or any other significant historical event, speaks volumes about the state of the education system. Unbelievable.
in all seriousness, how have you become adults and not learned about this? I am in awe - it should be deeply understood and remembered by every one of us.
I have serious doubts they didn't know, seeing who's video they used makes me think it's just more right wing propoganda. Try extra history for God's sake or something NOT from someplace who's mission is to provide one ideological viewpoint.
That's why history repeats. But to be honest, if you are from middle of Africa, WWII events may not be that important for you, it's mainly Europe and east Asia thing and we call it WORLD war.
@@Pidalin There were 99 countries worldwide in the 1940s. Only 14 weren't involved in WWII. The only continent that wasn't involved was Antarctica. So, 6 out of 7 continents (incl most of Africa) and around 75 of 99 countries. That's pretty much 'the world' lol. Cheers.
I'm 31 and I know. We were educated a lot on world history. It's the people about 25 and younger that are clueless. This really amped up and started becoming a big thing within the past few years. It's really bizarre and intentional by our government.
They've turned the education system into an indoctrination center that promotes a communist agenda which is why you have the younger generation promoting socialism, not understanding what that leads to.
I have come to notice this more and more with you tube videos where ordinary Americans are asked questions. It shocked me that simple questions like where certain countries are , or well-known capital cities in the world, or simple math questions could not be answered. There is an alarming lack of general knowledge.
My guess is they do know it, it’s the reaction thing. What bothers me is the video they’re reacting to because it left a lot off. Like the T-4 program that begins the gas chambers which was inspired by Americas eugenics programs (which arguably transgenderism is also inspired by). The Holocaust was a lot more about generic superiority
I’m from Poland and the most important thing I need to emphasize is the fact that concentration camps were located in Poland, but they were created and managed by Germans. We get really mad when someone says ‘Polish concentration camps’. Again, we are not responsible for Germany invading Poland, taking over our land and creating death camps. Polish ppl were the second biggest group (after Jews ofc) exterminated in those camps.
My father(age 6), uncle(age 7) g-ma, and g-pa were taken from Ukraine by cattle car and taken to a forced labor camp in Poland. After the Allies won, they were taken to a Displaced Person camp in Germany. They basically survived because they were Christian and my g-pa was an educated agronomist.
@@Mess2012Z I am glad to hear that, but I sincerely doubt it. No offence. May I ask you where are you from? - I would like to know where I can meet people who have such knowledge as you. Most of the people do not even know that there is a country named Poland on planet Earth. My guess is that you’re from Germany :)
My grandfather, a tank commander in the Us 3rd armored div, took pics when he and his men got to Dachau in April 45. I saw those pics when I was 4 y.o. which was *my* intro to the Holocaust. It shocks me that not only do ppl live today that have no knowledge of this but there are those who deny this history. Disturbing.
I just visited Dachau this past year. The tour guide told me they made every resident of Dachau walk through the camp to see what they had been denying and ignoring. Some today still deny it. I guess that's easier than living with guilt? After everyone was buried and the camp was cleaned up, the city wanted to raze it, but the French made them keep it up as the memorial it is today.
The irony of one man passing judgment on another fellow being for an implied opinion bias of beliefs that are unable to withstand even the slightest factual critique. Firstly, no state acting as a nation is blameless but specifically your numerical ‘stats’ are ALL blatantly incorrect. Your Jewish population as reported in the Encyclopadia Judaeica in 1938 identifies a Jewish population as 6, 347, 558, 852 not 17 million quotes, the Rhineland Famine 1945-46 caused by allied blockading etc, the Red Cross Organisational report to the Nuremberg War Crimes process was categorical in its documented experience of no witnessing any indications relating to any factor other than the abject starvation due to the logistical dismantling for Germany’s infrastructure. Quite frankly, as one of the most public-ally revered US Generals operationally when stated Gen Patton “I fear that we have fought on the wrong side in this war and in fact should have fought alongside Germany.” and with the Jewish Holocaust statistics in acknowledgement of the revised total of 78,000 deaths in camps in agreement with Jewish Israeli Holocaust groups. To summarise succinctly, why even attempt to have a intellectual engagement where others are so indoctrinated where they are completely programmed with an ideological belief of “the most evil person?” trained like a good hamster on a wheel whilst you accept a fiction that is a straw man! The “All liies” certainly weren’t about truth regarding the true financiers of if the famous “Internationalist Clique“ that destroy good people’s through deception for by lack of knowledge my people are destroyed!!
Thank you dear friends for posting this video. So many do not know the history and it appears the world is ripening for another Holocaust. May G-d forbid and may you be blessed for your efforts to educate! Shalom
Thank you for posting this video. My great grandmother’s cousin was in a concentration camp in Latvia. He survived and joined Stalin’s Red Army to fight the Nazis. The only family I have from my mother’s side (Jewish side) are the relatives who escaped Pogroms in Europe the late 1800s and made it to the USA. They lived in poverty for many years but no longer feared being murdered because they were Jews. All other relatives who stayed in Europe were exterminated by the Nazis.
My mother, along with my Grandmother and her little sister spent five years as little girls in a refugee camp in Russia after having to escape Latvia after the Nazi's took over. My mother's father went MIA as a fighter pilot. My father lost his father in a war camp when he was two, leaving just him and his mother. (my Grandmother) They were German Mennonite farmers. My Grandmother sent my dad to live with relatives where they hid him in an underground bunker until he was six because my Grandmother was terrified that the Nazi's would find out that she was spying for the Russians. She was hired as a Russian translator for an SS Officer because she could speak Russian and translate the Russian prisoners answers during Nazi interrogations. She witnessed horrific things. She managed to sneak out Nazi information to the Russian side. Her SS Officer boss eventually caught her. Instead of having her tortured and shot, he managed to convince her to trust him so he could help her. She did, and he secretly managed to not only reunite her with her son (my father) but he also snuck them out of Germany to safety and eventual freedom to Canada. My Grandmother testified on his behalf at the Nuremberg trials, saving his life. You see, he not only helped and saved her and my father, he also managed to secretly help and hide as many Jewish families as he could. My Grandmother only found this out after he caught her spying. We in Western society take what we have and have been given for granted. I was going to sleepovers and making Santa's lists when I was a child, while both of my parent's were hiding from Nazi's, losing father's, and praying they would see their next birthday. All experiencing this before they were the age of eight years old. This horrific time in history should be shared and taught to every younger generation so we hopefully never repeat any of it.
As someone who studies history in Germany with the goal of becoming a teacher, I think on the one hand, the video gives a appropriate insight onto the crimes commited by Nazi-Germany. However, it also lacks crucial information. Especially the hatred against jews. It was not Hitlers invention. Jews had been prosecuted since the middle ages, but with the 1860s a new kind of hatred emerged in all of Europe, not just Germany. The racial antisemitism. On top of that, since Hitler came to power in 1933, Jews were discriminated against step by step. They were fired, they weren't allowed in cinemas or public pools and their stores were forced to close. In the end, some of the richest companies in Germany were forced to be sold to "Aryans" for an abysmal low price. The Second World War and its industrialization of murder were the cruel climax of this hate. Never again, never forget
There are far too many coincidences, right up to Hitler's rise to power. That's why you can't look at it from a secular perspective; you should read the Tanakh or the Bible, that's where you'll find the answer. In the end, it was about the fulfillment of the prophecy that Israel was re-established.
As a historian, I agree. Learning how this happened in the everyday Germans backyard is probably more important really. We need to understand how it was allowed to happen so that we can stop arepeat. If we only recognize it when the exterminations start, then we are too late. The Holocaust started in 1933, and it was step by step all the way to 1945.
@@kaleidoscopingme- It's Prager U. They really do have an agenda. (I wonder what else the lady said, because it sure sounded as if she was about to add something.)
I had your basic high school education, back when students had to earn their grades. In college, I picked up a book from a 19th Century set entitled _3,000 Years of History._ That was when I learned that the 'Aryan' BS was a common belief. (And I wish I could remember how they dismissed the Great Wall of China, because it was a masterpiece of admitting it was impressive but not equal to anything white people had done.)
I remember when I was young and my father had me stay up late for a week as we watched a documentary on the Holocaust. I was maybe 9 years old and my mom didn't think that I should be staying up watching all of this, but, my father told her, "He needs to know this. He needs to know what happened so that he can tell other people and maybe stop it from happening again." My family is not Jewish, however, many of my family served during WWII and saw firsthand these concentration camps, saw the piles of bodies and saw how malnourished these Jewish people were when they were liberated. There is an old saying about if you do not learn from history that you are bound to repeat it. My father saw that people might not remember the past or even know what happened for whatever reason and he felt that I needed to know so that I could possibly help stop it from happening again. That documentary was a hard watch for me, but, I am thankful to have watched it as it has stuck with me ever since and if I have anything to do with the future, I will do whatever I can to ensure something like that never happens again.
Speak up loudly for Israel and the Jewish people, and speak up loudly for Ukraine. It's all the same evil all over again. Do the right thing and speak up publicly. If you are one of the 'silent majority' the others will take courage from your courage.
If you guys knew the details, you would be even more horrified. He also killed 5,000,00 Romanians, Gypsies, disabled, and people with Mental illnesses. But the full details are almost too horrible to be believed
and 5 million non Jewish Poles. And the other Poles that were r*ped, tortured, experimented on, endured forced labour in the most gruelling/hideous conditions.
The Nazis killed approximately 6 million Jews, but they also killed Soviet civilians, prisoners of war, Polish civilians, Serbian civilians, Sinti & Roma minorities, homosexuals, disabled people, Jehovah's Witnesses. In total...the Nazis killed approximately 17 million people between 1933-1945. There's another Prager video you should watch that compares the Nazis vs. Communist. The Communist killed more than 110 million people in over 100 countries all over the world. They had concentration and death camps as well. The Nazis are long gone, however, the Communist ideology still exist today. Both ideologies (Nazis & Communist) are truly evil and left death and destruction in the world.
Absolutely correct. They also killed a lot of Priests and Religious Sisters of the Catholic Church because our faith is Judeo Christian we identify with the Jews and also Protestant Preachers etc... Maximillion Kolbe was murdered by the Jews when saw a Jew was about to be murdered he said he would take the punishment for him - they starved him for weeks until he died in a cold dark dungeon of a cell and many other similar stories. Pope John Paul ll was imprisoned during that war and worked in a rock pit. Hitler hated the Jews but he also hated the Catholics.
I believe they are doing this on purpose as I see it repeating - starting again right now with the left as they are calling the right nazis and trump hitler. If you don’t know what it exactly was you can’t distinguish. And let’s see how long this comment lasts- my point.
I had to learn about the Holocaust by watching documentaries and reading books….on my own. And what I learned was so horrible I became obsessed to learn more because how could an entire country, as well as Nazi sympathizers in other countries go along with this for so long? How did one man convince so many people to be hateful, racist, cold blooded mass murderers?
religions... that wasn't the first time that the jews where almost exterminate in europa... even the pope and the church help the nazi to escaped . interest ? the usa intervened just because they wanted the scientists. They haven't any idea about the jews until they've found the camps.
I know I shouldn’t be but as a Brit, I’m constantly amazed by the ignorance of Americans about things that are common knowledge to Europeans and the rest of the world!
Please dont lump us altogether. I grew up in the 1970s, we were taught real history. The educational system has been taken over by liberals who dont care about anything other than victimhood.
Really? Ever spoken to people in your own country? I’ve been going to the UK since I was born and I’m astounded how little British people know about the world.

I was born and grew up in Belgium that was invaded and occupied by the Germans in May 1940. We learned about the war in history class and were taken on a school trip at age 13 to the only concentration camp that ever existed in our own country in Breendonk near Antwerp where we witnessed first hand the horrors of the war and the Holocaust. I can tell you standing next to the ovens seeing pictures of the people that were burned inside them for being Jewish leaves quite an impression you will never forget... now 60 years later I still see those images and of the courtyard against the back wall of the fort where people were tied up to be shot... Too bad they don't teach that in history class anymore...
My dad was a dentist and he had an older lady as his receptionist. Her husband survived the concentration camps. He was a boy at the time, but he showed me the tattoo on his arm of his number, and then showed me all the permanent scars on his back from where he was whipped.
Growing up I had a neighbor named Kellerman. He had concentration camp tattoos too. He and his wife had no children because he claimed the nazis injected acid into his balls. My dad worked with a German guy that knew "Kellerman" during the war. They were both German soldiers. Their job was to plant mines in roads to take out tanks. I'm curious how many fake concentration camp tattoos there were after the war. My opa on the other hand had a tattoo removed by a barber after the war with a straight razor and whiskey for the pain.
@@leifcatt this is not a case of the chicken and the egg. the fault clearly lies in the US school system. 70% of student don't pay attention (in history class) because history class is not taught in a manner that engages the students to get their attention. I grew up loving history and would always read the (entire) book in the first week or two of the school year. but even doing this i understood that the history books were the most poorly written text books in school. all fact throwing , with little to no creative sentence or paragraph structure ( how most bodies of text hook people to be interested in them). It's not just enough taht book tells students what happened and when , it needs to do so in a manner that doesn't put the kid to sleep.
My grandfather lived in Holland (non-Jew) and was placed in a concentration camp when Germany occupied the Netherlands. He survived and when the Canadians came in and liberated the country he was released. Him and my grandmother decided immediately that they had to move to Canada and immigrated after the end of the war. My grandfather never spoke to ANYBODY about the time he was in that concentration camp. NEVER.
My dad was 14 years old and living in Amsterdam when the Nazis invaded. They were a family from America, working abroad. However, his father was a German citizen and his mother was Jewish, so my grandfather was presumed to be a spy. He was eventually able to bribe an SS officer who he had to meet with on a weekly basis in order to get fake passports. They had to take the train to Berlin in order to get transport to Portugal where they were able to get a ship to the United States.
My grandparents on my father side were Jews and living in Paris when the Nazi's were rolling in. They escaped to Switzerland with my father when he was only a few months old, got out just in time. They spent the war years in a refugee camp there.
My Uncle was a Doctor and Captain in the Royal Army Medical Corps, British Army. In the second world war he crossed to France twelve days after D-Day and in April 1945 was amongst the first to enter Bergen Belsen concentration camp in Germany. There were 50,000 civilian prisoners in an awful state and ten thousand unburied dead. He was only 28 yrs old. My Auntie said he had nightmares every night for nearly three and a half years.. screaming. Poor man. I have the letter he wrote to his family from there.
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 errrr that’s why you send your kids to school !!!!!

It's not that it's not taught. It's how it's taught. I certainly remember when I learned about in school it was a fairly surface level of information, and that was 30 + years ago. I highly doubt more modern classes are any better at giving more detail about it. It was mostly just a part of history class that involved the entirety of learning about WW2.
@@Reba-123 If you are commenting on why schools don't teach about the holocaust, why should they? I didn't send my children to school to learn about the holocaust. I took them to Auschwitz and Dachau to learn about it.
It was also 3 million Polish Catholics and many millions of Russian POWs and civilians. Hitler had a thing about the Slavs as well as the Jews and whoever else he considered vermin.
Some of the ways they killed the gay prisoners were so horrible I can't even tell about them here. They would give you nightmares for the rest of your life. And even in America, the military was rounding up gay American soldiers and keeping them in DOG CAGES. Even though those American soldiers had fought for years to defeat the Nazis, after the war they were given dishonorable discharges and they never got any veterans benefits. They were sent home with a letter that would ensure they never got a job ANYWHERE. That is why San Francisco became a mecca for gay men. it was the only place in America besides NYC where they could find an apartment and a job. A lot of this is in the documentary COMING OUT UNDER FIRE.
I am an 80 yr old white woman living in SA but born in Holland during that war. As a toddler I have endured hardships with my parents from Hitler's cruel acts. I am not jewish but the way the Nazis went about bombing and killing in Holland left a big scar. Holland even had famine for a few years and we ate what fell out of the windows from moving trains carrying germans. In Amsterdam there was a big central paved plain amongst buildings. People with the Jewush arm bracelet, which they were forced to wear, were often stopped there by the nazis , especially older folks, and made to undress completely in the icy snow weather. Then they were made to walk in a circle with their noses stuck in the backsides of the people in front of them. Each person coming passed were forced to stop and look. The nazis, mainly all young men, would laugh and cheer for hour after hour at the circle of naked men and women. If one fell down because of freezing or tiredness, they woul beat them to a pulp. This was just one of the many despicable acts they did for their pleasure.
I'm also from Holland and although too young to have been there myself I remember my father telling me about how he had to scrounge through rubbish bins to find food. He had been isolated from his family during that time and was very young. Then on my mothers side, my Uncle had been ganged up on and beaten for protecting a Jewish friend.
Not so long ago you had torchlight processions in Charlottesville with the participants chanting “Jews Shall Not Replace Us!” You all saw how that turned out. It is still real!
WWII is the most important period of history for people to learn. It was wholesale murder on the world stage with staggering numbers. All the behavioral signs of the Nazis and the SS are right here in front of us today. People aren't reacted to this threat because they don't realize it's the same thing as the Holocaust at the outset
Nah! It is much much much worse. Lincoln was just one person. But the Holocaust and the consentration camps took the lives of probably more than 15 milion people. 6-8 million of them being jews.
Born in the U.S.A. to Serbian and Slovak parents that came to America on "The Boat" along with their mothers and fathers whom I never met. Once my father gained citizenship, he joined the Army and went back to Europe to fight the Nazis. Tours in France and Germany. Toughest man I ever met, all 5.4" inches tall. To all the woke a-holes out there, learn history. Genocide is real, the Holocaust was not fabricated, and the death of millions is a deep scar to humanity. Support Israel now in their time of need, not the Palestinian hate mongers.
“…all the woke aholes…”. WTF are you talking about? First, it’s not the left that is banning books that teach history. Second, it’s exactly that kind of stereotyping and dehumanization that lead to the holocaust in the first place. Why don’t you go and actually read about mid- to late 1930s Germany and then consider whether today’s “right” or “left” shows the same characteristics, talking points and tactics that we are seeing in the US today. Those who fail to learn history are doomed to repeat it. Let’s hope we all wake up soon.
I want to say I have a 19 year old granddaughter who knew nothing but what she got from the "public school" system and was pro-Palestine until my wife and I set her straight. I'd love to shake your dad's hand for what he did. I do feel sorry for your dad in what he saw and went through and wish he wouldn't have had to.
The "woke" side aren't the holocaust deniers. And just because Nazis and Hamas did evil things doesn't make the slaughter of Palestinian civilians right. Didn't your parents ever teach you two wrongs don't make a right?
please watch Shindler's list! This movie is so horrific and is a true story during WW2, nothing was dramatized for the movie, in fact, the director Steven Spielberg had to be lessened a little because of how horrific the real stories from the survivors were
@@williamwebb8908 Who wants to watch that depressing propaganda?

@@williamwebb8908well duh, if you actually educated yourself you would have known that social media has been one of the biggest entertainment platforms for a while now. Besides a few viral netflix programs most people are not watching television in the 2020s
What frightens me is the single most evil act in modern history is quickly being ignored and forgotten by the coming generations. It CAN, and WILL happen again, folks, once we no longer care.
Take a look around, it's already getting support with all the anti-Israel/pro-Hamas protests. These people also claim the Holocaust never happened even though there is so much evidence, pictures, books, personal stories, etc. It's horrible and it's being ignored for the most part
All the people who actually lived through and remember WWII are dying off, unfortunately. This is just... what happens--especially when grade school history education is so poor.
I learned about this in school and had Jewish friends who told me about it, but that level of evil is hard to comprehend. It became truly real for me when I had a client with numbers tattooed on his forearm. It was the only tattoo he had so I asked him about it. It was his tattoo from the Nazi death camp. He was only a young child when the Nazis tattooed that number on his arm. The rest of his family died in the gas chambers. He was fortunate to survive until the Americans came in and rescued the remaining prisoners at the end of WWII. Hearing his story made it very real for me. To hear young college students today chanting, "From the river to the sea," makes me so angy and fearful, for what that phrase represents is the goal of the total extermination of all Jews. Most of those kids have no idea that they are promulgating Hitler's wishes, and yet they are ever ready to call others with whom they disagree Nazis.
//The rest of his family died in the gas chambers. He was fortunate to survive until the Americans came in and rescued// Wrong. Death factories were on East, without any American help. 6 or more death camps were in german-occupied Poland. Poor your hasbara efforts.
100% correct. A friend of mine said to me that something like the Holocaust can never happen now and I was dumfounded. People will remain blissfully ignorant while right now as we are all discussing this subject, things are already in motion towards a very similar outcome in the United States. The writing is all over the wall and folks can't even realize that 2+2=4. Bottom line everyone is too worried about the money in their pockets instead of the collapse of any democracy that may be left in this country.
I'm German and I'm shocked and a bit disappointed that there are adults in the western world, that don't know about the holocaust. If we want to protect our democracies, I think it's extremely important to learn as much as you can about the 3rd Reich. And I'm happy that you are taking the first step right now. Also I think its imortant to learn about the faults of the Weimarer Republic. That was the democracy Germany had, before the Nazis took over. It wasn't protected enough against fascism. Today some laws are in place to protect Germanys constitution: the banning of extremist parties, more political education, no banning of books! (only restriction of distribution), more is done about inflation, partys have to get at least 5٪ of the votes to avoid the fragmentation of the parliament... All I would wish for is other countries learning from our mistakes instead of repeating them.
@@JJfromPhilly67 They're allowed to protest for palestine, but not for Hamas. Also they aren't allowed to scream antisemitic stuff or burn flags. That are among the only reasons the protests could be banned. Whether Palestinian protests themselves are already antisemitic, is heavily discussed here. Germany is generally really hesistant to forbid demostrations. Here are some reasons I could find: 1. the government prefers to ban the organizations, that plan the demonstrations (if proven to be violent) 2. people think that you have to listen to opinions opposite of your own, as long as the people who voice these opinions aren't politicians (even if they are as absurd as the 'Reichsbürger', some people that want the emperor back) 3. banning of demonstrations is seen as a radical move and has to be checked several times, before it can take place 4. bans in Germany are decided by each region independently, not throughout the whole country (some cities did ban the protests, others didn't)
@@JJfromPhilly67 i dont even know what to write. Palestinians are not all hamas there are a terror group its like saying all muslims are isis with is just wrong
Mean while in Italy we have fascists all over the place, from the president of the senate to the random man in the streets. I saw a fucking nazi-fascist funeral in Milan, have anyone got arrested? Obviously not, because according to the judges “they were just expressing a thought”. Welcome to Italy, a place where being a fascist is fine, but saying that someone is will get you in trouble.
@@JJfromPhilly67 A lot of these were actually not allowed. Democracy still applies to everyone here and not all protests were on the same "level" either. ppl have the right to protest. I dont agree any form of hate, but those who werent chanting slurs, antisemite slogans and other stuff can and should be able to protest.
As a German you have to deal with the topic and the history. This year I also did an Anne Frank tour through Germany and visited the many mass graves in Bergen-Belsen. This stuck with me for a long time and it's so crazy. Yes, they were Germans, but they were Nazis who followed a madman. The old, the weak, the disabled, political prisoners, Jews and everyone who didn't fit the Aryan image. It is a very dark chapter in our history and many no longer deal with it. Some things today also take on frightening aspects. It seems as if no one has learned from this and history is repeating itself in some ways.
I'm finding history repeating itself many different times going back to Charles Martel at least. You know, the French general who turned back the first Islamic invasion in the 700s.
@@terencejay8845 Yeah, that was always the most interesting hipocrysy of the Nazi ideology for me. They were all so hyped about the Herrenrasse, that they failed to notice that all their leading figures like Hitler, Himmler and Goebbels were, small, dark haired and brown eyed men and not tall, big blond and Blue-eyed Nordic Guys.
OK. 8 million Russians died to defeat German invasion. 7 million allies died, on the west. 6 million Jews died in Holocaust. 5 million minorities, gays, etc. died in the camps too. On D-Day alone 8,000 allied soldiers died getting a foothold on Europe. 8,000 soldiers IN ONE DAY. (Just learned that and I'm still stunned.) My Uncle Bill Lorenz died by machine gun fire from a church, 22 days before Germany surrendered. I sleep in his bedroom. Please say his name out loud. He's not just a statistic.
Very true. What makes killing easy? You first dehumanize a group of people. It then becomes easy. Abortion uses the same principle. If the unborn is not a human being then it is easy to abort.
@@mauricecohen3830 oh lord. Or maybe people understand that we shouldn't be able to force women to be unwilling incubators or charge them with murder for having a miscarriage.
@@TheJimicus How is a miscarriage the same as an abortion? One is a natural occurence, the other is a deliberate act. Btw, unwanted pregnancy is 99.99% preventable. Do you have a point to make about the video?
@@mauricecohen3830 do you? You're the one that brought up abortion. And states that outlawed abortion now have doctors scared to treat miscarriages (it's the same basic treatment) forcing women do go through it at home or try to leave the state. My state is even trying to make it a crime to go to another state for an abortion.
I was stationed in Northern Germany when I was in the service. While there, I visited a Nazi concentration camp called Bergen Belsen. Ann Frank was murdered there. Not much is left. Some of the fence line. A single building that is a recreation of the barracks that kept the victims. There were hundreds of these barracks. You walk along a path and you come up on a huge mound. In front of the mound is a sign. It reads in German “ten thousand buried.” Another sign, Fifth thousand buried. A few mounds read twenty five thousand buried. And there were at least ten burial mounds like this. The other thing I noticed was that there were no birds. None. The air was perfectly still. Not a sound. It was evil. Leading out of the camp was a small set of rail tracks. These tracks went along side a highway and lead into a swamp area. The Nazi’s would fill the ore carts with the victims and dump them into the swamp. The Germans call this area the Troifuls moor. In English it means the Devils swamp. If we, as a people, do not learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it.
Thank you for your testament. To Jewish people it means so much. We are not many, but we keep trying to survive the evil attacks on us. And things are about to get worse. Iran and Russia and China... they are all together in it.
You could say that Anne Frank was murdered by neglect, but she wasn't actually murdered in the camp, she died of typhus that was spread by lice in the camps, a very common death. The camp was released shortly afterwards, so it's very unfortunate that she died so close to being rescued. Anne Frank was deemed fit for work, the Nazis usually didn't kill those that were fit for work since they needed the workforce. Usually only men were deemed fit for work but many women were also saved because they couldn't kill at a fast enough rate so they were let in to the camps instead of being sent to the gas chambers.
Another good movie is "The Hiding Place" (1975) about a Christian family who went to prison for hiding Jews. Corrie ten Boom (one of the adult daughters) survived and this story is based on her book. She speaks at the end of the movie. But, I also recommend "Schindler's List."
@@CindyNavarro TY i will look it up! I guess I should also add The Diary of Anne Frank (1959) and the mini-series (2001) ruclips.net/video/-zNDe30_eKw/видео.html

The missing context in this video is the long history of general anti-Semitism in the US and Europe. There were very many enthusiastic "fellow-travellers" with the Nazis in the countries that they controlled. Many countries including the US, refused to take Jewish refugees from Nazi persecution before the war started. The Nazis were the worst because they made it government policy, but just constantly saying "the Nazis did it" ignores the culpability of all the other people that turned a blind eye, or even cooperated with the Nazis.
Another item that mustn't be forgotten is the fact that the United States literally taught the Nazis the science of mass murder; before Hitler came to power, the states of California and Colorado were using poison gas to kill people in enclosed spaces....
My grandmother was German and Christian. Her mother was euthanized because she was sick, her brothers were killed for refusing to join Hitler’s third Reich, she and her sister were able to leave the country. Something the video did not mention, but I also truly believe that this was a spiritual battle of good versus evil and it’s still a spiritual battle now. Prayer is powerful. If you want to read a book about that time, there are two books one is called the “diary of Anne Frank” who was a young girl at that time. The other book which is also a movie free on RUclips is called “the hiding place.“
"Night" by Eli Wiesel is a better book for older students or at least taught in conjunction with Anne Frank. "Night" is the true account of what happened in the camps. Anne Frank's story ends with her journal, readers are not aware of how horrible her death was.
If this is the first time these two have heard of the Holocaust, it speaks volumes about the public educational system in this country and how bad it's become in some areas.
They're just not taught about it, and they're not inclined to read much about the past. If they do, it's some manipulated texts that are trying to reinforce the fake garbage they're now taught in schools. I feel sad for them all. An awful world is being created.

This is beyond the pale. Every single person on this planet should know about the Holocaust. Who has not seen the pictures? I just can't express my dismay sufficiently. The Holocaust can not be taught in 5 min. It is not just Germany that committed atrocities. It is not just jews that were persecuted. Black people were on his kill list, too! This means there is an ignorance of WWI and WWII. Many black Americans fought in these wars! What is being taught in February? Juneteenth? Being black is not singularly about slavery.
@@regularsizeruss3874 The phrase “beyond the pale” is often confused with “beyond the pail,” but it has no connection to buckets. A “pale” is a stake or pointed piece of wood. “Paling” is a related term, seen in “paling fence” and “impale”. The “pale” was the enclosed and safe area, inside the paling fence. To be “beyond the pale” meant being outside the accepted home area. Catherine the Great established the Pale of Settlement in Russia in 1791 for Jews, restricting trade between Jews and Russians. Some Jews were allowed to live “beyond the pale”.
NO black people werent on hitlers kill list they were on the dont have sex with because of racial purity but no the nazis werent going to exterminate black people
My uncle was sent to Auschwitz at the age of 14, along with 20 or so members of his extended family - grandparents (both sets) parents, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts and cousins; also numerous friends and neighbours. When the evil place was liberated by the Allies at the end of the war, my uncle was the only one left out of his whole family. He kept his tattoo for the rest of his life, but very rarely spoke about his experience.
I think this is amazing to teach some real history to young people like yourself. I’m so proud of this work. Can’t wait to see what you have next. Bless you 🇺🇸
The fact that you didn't know what the holocausts was is terrifying. WHen they open the death camps Eisenhower (who was a 5 star general and in charge of the allied forces) ordered that everything be documented. I don't remember his exact words but to paraphrase "We need to record this. THe time will come when people will say it never happened." It appears he was right!
The US is divided into two hostile camps. Each believes that the other is not only wrong, but incurably stupid and/or willfully evil. Both think the other side is out to destroy their way of life. Each believes that the other has a philosophy antithetical to the traditions our nation was founded upon. Both believe unshakingly that voting for THEIR leader is the only way to save civilization, even if he is deeply flawed, because the other side MUST be kept out of power at all costs. One of these sides is called the Democrats. The other side is called the Republicans. If you believe that the political class of either party cares about anything but protecting their own wealth and dominance, you are part of the problem and one of the 100,000,000+ reasons this country is going to end up with either a Hitler or a Stalin in the next few decades. Both are examples of what happens under one-party rule.
Worst man? Stalin. During Stalin's rule in the USSR, there was mass state terror, which claimed the lives of 20 million people, (his people, his nation) of which 11 million died of starvation, and the number of victims of Soviet deportations, exiles and slave labor in labor camps is difficult to determine.
Do you know what was so scary about the Third Reich as a whole? How normal people could become monsters, who then, after losing the war, claimed to have known nothing about it. Parents who willingly let their sons, some of whom were under 14, go to war as part of the Hitler Youth. An entire people who actively witnessed the November Kristallnacht pogroms, but consciously decided to remain silent. An entire people who were willing to die for "Führer, people and fatherland", to sterilize and murder people for "Führer, people and fatherland". An entire nation that skillfully ignored all the freight trains full of people heading east. Neighbors who betrayed each other to the Gestapo, children who betrayed their parents at school. People who threw all their Christian faith, all their morals overboard, driven by the indoctrination of the Nazis. THAT is the Holocaust. A result of maximum violent indoctrination. A collective act of an entire people. An entire state, not just the leadership, but every citizen, guilty of crimes against humanity.
so much horror , and I dont understand how the HOLDOMOR in Ukraine the most underrated and underreported , man made starvation/genocide where almost 7 million lives in Ukraine, where the population was forced to cannibalism ...
"No one"? People talk about that all the time, maybe not as much as Nazi Germany, but still.... you are right that it's important to remember that fascism and murderous authoritarianism can creep up no matter the country, ethnicity, or economic ideology.
I was born in New Zealand in 1962 and had family who fought in WW2; it is staggering to think that there are grown adults who know little or nothing about the Holocaust. I became a historian, and of modern (as opposed to ancient) history, WW2 is something which everyone should know about. Not in a strictly 'names and dates' sense, but to learn what human beings are capable of. WW2 was a masterclass in human capacity for sheer evil and cataclysmic destruction; old cities and their architecture maimed or destroyed, artworks lost (along with artists and architects), fearfully destructive weapons invented, and the last word (hopefully!) in dehumanisation was reached with the mechanized, 'industrial' obliteration of designated sections of humanity and turning entire time-honored urban and rural communities of human beings alike into mere numbers on a page. Besides the Holocaust there was of course the 'sci-fi made real' development of jet engines and the German V2 rocket (the first man-made object to reach outer space) as well as the atomic bomb. Women again proved to be as efficient a workforce as the men they replaced, the soldiers and their support-structures in supply, administration etc. came in different hues, but all fought for the same side. WW2 was a crucial episode in history for a great many reasons, but the Holocaust is the most crucial thing to know about of it all. Just how bad can human nature be? This bad.
@@theduke8504 One of the most truly chilling aspects of both Hitler's Nazi and Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge regimes; the 'banality of evil' personified by all those office buildings full of ordinary 9-to-five clerical staff who went to work every weekday to meticulously sort, count and grade names, numbers and statistics so literally millions of people were systematically put to death. The clerks, secretaries and such were just ordinary people who were concerned about their rent, their pets' health, what to wear to the party on Saturday or if they would find a suitable life-partner, while at the same time they were condemning people to the death camps or authorising requisitions for supplies to make their mechanised, systematic death-machine rolling...

I’m so pleased that you are learning about the holocaust. I’m also surprised that this is not taught in schools. It wasn’t that long ago in our country’s history. I’m also pleased that you are using Prager U material. Very excellent data and information. Keep learning and I hope that you’ll do even more research on the holocaust because we do not want a repeat of that abomination.
It’s not surprising. If we are even only judging that moment in history, the Japanese did a lot more horrific things even the Nazis wouldn’t. Even when it comes to death toll, Mao killed far more. Schools are very lax teaching these things
"Sir Nicholas George Winton MBE (né Wertheim; 19 May 1909 - 1 July 2015) was a British stockbroker and humanitarian who helped to rescue Jewish children who were at risk of being murdered by Nazi Germany during the Holocaust. Born to German-Jewish parents who had immigrated to Britain at the beginning of the 20th century, Winton assisted in the rescue of 669 children, most of them Jewish, from Czechoslovakia on the eve of World War II." He kept his secret for over 50 years
Growing up in the U.S., I remember there was this man that lived near me. I didn't know him, but I would see him walking down the street now and then. He had this way about himself, the way he walked slowly, the look on his face that I'll never forget, even 50+ years later. He was a survivor from one of the prison camps. I had an uncle (my Mom's only brother) that I never met as he died in Austria fighting in WWII, before I was born. My Dad also fought in WWII, in the Phillipines. Luckily he made it out ok and lived a long life. As the phrase goes: Never Forget.
I love to see black people doing this video, thanks. As a Jew my parents fought alongside blacks in the civil rights movement. Jews volunteered and came to the aid of Martin Luther King. They help with groups on the ground, finances, and political influence. Jews have always been a natural alliance with blacks and black causes, but in the last half century American antisemites have been working hard to turn blacks against the Jews and break up the alliance. Now there is a disconnect based on lies and we need to get it back.
@@Rollergirl1980 The MAIN reason being is that some prominent Jews rose up and shouted to high heaven about the holocaust being "the greatest tragedy of all time, for all people" when the United States committed far worse evils against Blacks and indegenous peoples of this land.... The holocaust was a PUNISHED EVENT; the perpetrators were rounded up, put to actual justice, and some were even EXECUTED....contrast this with the United States, where NONE of the benefactors of slavery and the deliberate extermination of the natives were ever punished, but instead very well REWARDED! Furthermore, the holocaust had an actual end; meanwhile, slavery STILL CONTINUES in the United States, using the administration of "justice" as an excuse!
Precisely the tactic of accusing Israel and the IDF of being 'Nazis'. Diminishes the meaning of the word, negates the Holocaust, creates a vacuum to be filled with fascist lies about how glorious 'the struggle' (war) is. All to bring down our democracies in a chaos of war.
Meanwhile I suppose it's on purpose. Educated people would never give the orange criminal a chance regarding elections. It's not for nothing that he said "I love the uneducated".
Or just the lack of interest people have in the world around them. Everything I know about the Holocaust I learned on my own. Instead of watching reality shows or Tik Tok videos, I read biographies and watch documentaries most of the time. Everyone needs to give their brain a rest from time to time, but that should account for much less time than actually putting it to use.
Hello, Austrian here. Here and i assume in germany too majority of our history classes are about this time. From 5th grade until where i am now at the end of 11th, we have done atleast half a yer abou this topic. We've seen vile documentaries, pictures and actual artifacts from there, read the Anne Frank book and have met a timewitness, additionally we will visit an actual camp in the next year. The classrooms were filled with hatred to the nzis , tears have flowed and people have thrown up just thinking about those pictures and what people had to endure. Which is why many of us are so confused how the far right has once again risen to one of the top parties, even after they have given comments about how "a second holocaust is needed". We sincerely hope things wont repeat themselves. I am very glad you chose to educate yourself about this topic and appreciate everyone who chooses to educate others about it.
I saw my family tree, my mom and dad had it made up. 2/3rds of the names had stars by them, indicating they perished in the holocaust. My great grandfather and great uncle were killed in pogroms.

@@sabin97. There have been other genocides, the Turkish genocide of the Armenians comes to mind, but “The Holocaust” denotes the specific WWII genocide attempt of the Jews as carried out by the Germans.
The same people also cry racism…. Ain’t that funny?
@@plaguedoctor5657
what do you mean by "the same people" and by "cry racism"? do you think racism is somehow ended?
My grandma was a Holocaust survivor. She passed last year.
No one should ever have to witness or live through anything like this.
they are all survivors what about the BOLSHEVIK (communist jews ) who ran the soviet union and murdered 100 million white russians and 20 million germans and 30 million ukranians ? watch HELLSTORM learn some facts , the ONLY HOLOCAUST WAS IN DRESDEN
considering the official numbers, it's quite amazing the sheer number of holocaust "survivors".
@johndoe2-ns6tf I know, you'd rather have it be close to 0!
@johndoe2-ns6tf 6 million of them
no one should have to live what german did in 20s and thats why they got rid of marxist and communist . and the bolsheviks (jewish communist) killed 66 MILLION white russians and 30 million ukrainians and germans soo cry me a river
As a Jew, I just want to make it known that other victims also deserve respect.
Gays, handicaps, romans, black people, russian prisoners were also killed.
Exactly, Jews were definitely the biggest target. However this video is outright false when it came to blacks in Germany. They were persecuted and killed also.
At Flossenberg, Germany, there's a large memorial to the numerous nationalities who were victims alongside the Jews.
And Spanish. Thank you. Do you know who was Angel Sanz Briz?
@@AguedaG I knew him as "Spanish Schindler".
Honestly, anyone who helped even 1 person, was a hero. peoples lives were worth very little back then. so it was a huge risk.
@@zanccarrdo Actually there is no evidence of a targeting of blacks, those that were killed were jews it was not because they were black it was because they were Jewish.
Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it
However,some KNOW history and WANT to repeat it…
Oh and are we not repeating that hystory right now with the russiaphobia?seems that way to me.come on the other day a polish bloke was comparing putin to hitler...so?
Especially if you nose why
It's repeated everyday.
Oh yes I was out there exterminating people until I learned about the holocaust and then I finally stopped.
So let me get this straight. These young people don't know what the holocaust is?! What is going on in America?
My take: Our young are being purposefully denied real education and are getting indoctrination instead. We are being force fed a steady diet of DEI, Social Justice and extreme racism disguised as diversity. Our leaders want a dumbed down population they can control that have zero education or knowledge to understand that everything they tell us is a lie. Science has been corrupted by politics and agendas. The media is invested in pushing an agenda and the truth is called misinformation. America, including Canada, is being manipulated in very similar fashion to 1930s Germany. Instead of Jews and minorities, the enemy they have chosen to demonize are white people, and anyone that supports the values the US was founded on.....freedom, small government, personal responsibility, and dispersed authority, mostly on the local level, then state. Our federal government is so far beyond its Constitutional limits, I doubt is it possible to reverse it with the administrative state and politicians we have. Voting when there are no candidates that support the reduction of federal power is meaningless. This uneducated, indoctrinated population just votes for whoever will give them things, like free healthcare or forgiving their student loans. Selfishness is the current American value. We are watching our country go down the tubes and there is nothing we can really do about it. I am glad I am almost 60 but I fear for the young people who will end up dealing with a collapse or dictatorship if the government continues down this path. This is by design...Canada, the UK and Europe are all dealing with similar issues..all being pushed by some power that is hiding from view. Call me paranoid, but you cannot deny it is happening.
No, but they know about the umpteen thousand flavors of gender. That's why the department of 'education' needs to be either disbanded or completely replaced with sane people. One's not pushing an agenda... of *ANY* sort. Ones just interested in making sure our children are well rounded and well educated in *facts,* not indoctrinated into one particular ideology.
Pathetic teachers unions and woke dept of ed.
@@ladyalaina42 i might be the other way around - bad politicians teaching "american supremacy" and the chanting of " USA #!" - lets show trhem the videos of America turning back that ship of escaping jews to Nazi Germany (other countries did this aswell but USA prides itself of beeing a "safe haven" for the opressed... atleast it says so on the statue of liberty)
They don't teach it so that when people use terms like dictator and holocaust, the masses being told that don't have context and just accept it as "really bad" without understanding what it really is. That's the same way you end up getting people calling Jews Nazis. They just associate Nazis with "far right" and call Ben Shapiro a Nazi, not realizing he'd be one of the many people the Nazis would be trying to genocide.
Coming from England I find it so very disturbing that young people are so lacking in history education. I don’t think anybody in Europe is ignorant about the holocaust. America needs to up their education levels something is very lacking
Agreed. They purposely won't teach the kids here. It's completely intentional and we walk on eggshells everywhere anymore.
I'm Irish, at our last census (2022), the population of Ireland was just over 5 million people. If my entire country was wiped out, it would be still less people killed than the number of Jews murdered by the Nazis during the Holocaust... that is a very sobering thought.
And these are still ONLY the Jewish victims of the Nazis, not even counting Sinti & Roma, homosexuals, Christian priests, communists and disabled people...
Thank you for the perspective. That really drives home for me just how many people it takes to total 6 million.
I write about this era and these topics. I teach this. On the Eastern Front of WWII alone, the number of soldiers killed plus the civilians who were systematically murdered by Germans and Russians equals the entire population of California. Nearly 40 million.
This is a very simplistic explanation, remember the nazi party came to power in the early 1930's and immediately started to round up all they regarded as not required, gypsy's slavs, mentally and physically disabled, the educated, and dissenters.
And that you're willing to have that happen to you by your own government so they replace you with foreigners is mind boggling.
In the 80's, a friend of mine had a Social Studies teacher who called the Holocaust a lie and wouldn't accept anyone saying it happened. Well, my friend's grandfather was an US Army photographer with one of the units that liberated a Concentration Camp. My friend told his grandpa, his grandpa took copies of the pictures he took at said Concentration Camp to the school principal and raised holy hell as he showed the proof of what he saw with his own eyes...
The teacher was fired and no one ever dared say the Holocaust never happened while Craig was at that school.
תודה שסיפרת .
Best check the dates on those photos. What month were they liberated, does the weather appear as it should? These lies keep being repeated. As for the US education system, they have terrorized every generation with film of bulldozers pushing emaciated bodies into ditches for several decades. The media continues to push the Anne frank lie too. There exists an agenda here.
Sad, teachers have so much influence on the kids. Some of them don't want to tell the truth about history.
Unfortunately, that view has become mainstream. Recent events show that the truth does not matter if it goes against people's interests. Here in Israel I saw hundreds of missiles exploding over my city with my own eyes , yet I guarantee someone here will tell me I'm lying even though our enemies proudly speak of doing it.
The 1980s was the height of WWII revisionism, with people denying what actually happened in Europe.
This is an embarrassing hole in the US education system.
Please watch Schindler list it’s the best movie
The rabbit hole of ignorance goes even deeper. Most of those that claim to know about the Holocaust don't know this term was used to describe the Armenian genocide before later being used to describe the Jewish one.
So is the horrif8c history of the Democrat party toward black lives AFTER the Civil war
you're attacking Our Democracy by attacking our educational system.
I bet you hate teacher's unions too

Yes.
There's an amazing number of holes in the U.S...Period.
In 77 I visited the Dachau Camp outside Munich. The tour guide was a survivor and she showed us her Tattoo'd #. When asked why she kept it. "To remind the world what happened here and else where during the Holocaust. .She told us stories that me a lot of us GI's Cry.........I will never forget her name "Miram".....
Steve. It is noble of you to remember her name. Thank you for your service :)
The amount of knowledge that you have not been told is staggering.
It's appalling
There are many, many documentaries detailing the holocaust, but an example of the many brave kindnesses is revealed in this 1:50m clip of Sir Nicholas Winton (aka 'Britain's Schindler') meeting up again not just with one of the children he rescued at the time, but...well, the clip speaks for itself. It's heartwarming and overwhelmingly heartbreaking at the same time. ruclips.net/video/6_nFuJAF5F0/видео.html
Why is it always the responsibility of teachers i made sure my sons were told about what happened and how it can happen again
I applaud anyone who does not know something and is willing to learn about it.
Especially on the Internet for everyone to watch.
good then you can watch HELLSTORM AND LEARN SOME FACTS - what about the BOLSHEVIK (communist jews ) who ran the soviet union and murdered 100 million white russians and 20 million germans and 30 million ukranians ? watch HELLSTORM learn some facts , the ONLY HOLOCAUST WAS IN DRESDEN
The fact that anyone over the age of 10 doesn't know about this is truly mind blowing.
I knew a lady that survived the concentration camps. I saw the tattoo on her arm. After all the years that had passed she still woke in the night in terror. She passed away a few years ago. It was my privilege to know her.
@jerzykiler4386 This lady was a citizen of Poland. I know they were German camps and no one was spared. @TaySteph If you are into reading there is a book "The Diary of Ann Frank", a young girl living in hiding for most of the war.

Imagine when they hear about Mao's Great Leap Forward, Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge, Japan's Unit 731, The Armenian Genocide, Stalin's Gulags and Che Guevara's Camps for Gays.
The “Top Trumps “ of genocides right there.
Props for calling out the Armenian genocide. It often gets forgotten along with the Greek and Assyrian genocide.
Problem is is there's no brown or black people that were killed in these situation so of course no one would know about this other than historians and people that actually read world history.
@@NouraZahle Yep, they're not "mainstream" I guess 😕
Let me rephrase….Wait till they hear?about THE BLACK HOLOCAUST!?
My father had older brothers that were murdered by the Nazis. One was only a toddler. My grandmother was so traumatized by her children being shot to death that, to this day, we don't even know what one of them was named. She couldn't bear to speak their names.
😔 that's so sad. I'm sorry that happened to your family.
I'm so sorry your family had to go through that.
So sad.
How tragic! I’m so sorry - but very glad that both your grandmother and father survived.
Painful as much of it is, thank God we continue to not only exist but mostly to thrive and increase our numbers.
yes, I'm an Israeli jew and half my family went through the holocaust in poland. it's very common that survivors of the holocaust don't speak about what they went through. at all. it was also considered rude to ask. it's just too big a trauma to unpack.
Tay & Steph, glad to see you getting some awareness of how bad it was. However,
"The Fallen of WW2" will give you a realistic perspective on the numbers and what they mean in terms of human lives.
It is an award winning documentary you can see here on YT.
The real numbers and what they represent will shock and sicken you.
You just won't believe how many people around the world were killed.
I don't see movies much anymore, but, there was a t.v. series about this year's ago. It was called The Holocaust. It started with a bunch of people locked in a building that was burning. The series was excellent.
@@BettyCraig-x8l Seen it.
The fact that anyone born in the last 30yrs or so know nothing about the Holocaust, or any other significant historical event, speaks volumes about the state of the education system.
Unbelievable.
i'll basically copy paste what i just said - well whats the point of education once they're finished burning(banning) all the books?
the fact that you refer to it as "the" implies you are not aware of any of the others. unbelievable.....

@@sabin97 In the video, they referred to it as 'THE' holocaust, which I was commenting on. Idiot.

in all seriousness, how have you become adults and not learned about this? I am in awe - it should be deeply understood and remembered by every one of us.
Terrifying, isn't it? Countless books, articles, movies, T.V. shows (even a sitcom!) and still people don't know.
It's pathetic.
I have serious doubts they didn't know, seeing who's video they used makes me think it's just more right wing propoganda. Try extra history for God's sake or something NOT from someplace who's mission is to provide one ideological viewpoint.

That's why history repeats. But to be honest, if you are from middle of Africa, WWII events may not be that important for you, it's mainly Europe and east Asia thing and we call it WORLD war.
The us school system barely wants to acknowledge slavery
@@Pidalin There were 99 countries worldwide in the 1940s. Only 14 weren't involved in WWII. The only continent that wasn't involved was Antarctica. So, 6 out of 7 continents (incl most of Africa) and around 75 of 99 countries. That's pretty much 'the world' lol. Cheers.
No its living in the now, keeping the youth stupid is the name of the propaganda.
I cant believe Americans dont know this. It made me realise how much information they dont know.
I'm 31 and I know. We were educated a lot on world history. It's the people about 25 and younger that are clueless. This really amped up and started becoming a big thing within the past few years. It's really bizarre and intentional by our government.
You didn't learn about this in school? Geeeeeez, the American education system really does suck.
They've turned the education system into an indoctrination center that promotes a communist agenda which is why you have the younger generation promoting socialism, not understanding what that leads to.
They're too busy indoctrinating rather than educating.
I have come to notice this more and more with you tube videos where ordinary Americans are asked questions. It shocked me that simple questions like where certain countries are , or well-known capital cities in the world, or simple math questions could not be answered. There is an alarming lack of general knowledge.
My guess is they do know it, it’s the reaction thing. What bothers me is the video they’re reacting to because it left a lot off. Like the T-4 program that begins the gas chambers which was inspired by Americas eugenics programs (which arguably transgenderism is also inspired by). The Holocaust was a lot more about generic superiority
@@Catherine.Dorian. You're probably right, just making RUclips content I suppose
I’m from Poland and the most important thing I need to emphasize is the fact that concentration camps were located in Poland, but they were created and managed by Germans. We get really mad when someone says ‘Polish concentration camps’. Again, we are not responsible for Germany invading Poland, taking over our land and creating death camps. Polish ppl were the second biggest group (after Jews ofc) exterminated in those camps.
? Never heard that Poland was blamed for the KZ's. It's all our guilt. always.
People born in the last century understand it merely means camps that were located in Poland, not that the Polish people were complicit in any way
My father(age 6), uncle(age 7) g-ma, and g-pa were taken from Ukraine by cattle car and taken to a forced labor camp in Poland. After the Allies won, they were taken to a Displaced Person camp in Germany. They basically survived because they were Christian and my g-pa was an educated agronomist.
@@Mess2012Z I am glad to hear that, but I sincerely doubt it. No offence. May I ask you where are you from? - I would like to know where I can meet people who have such knowledge as you. Most of the people do not even know that there is a country named Poland on planet Earth.

Thank you for spending the time to find out about this and keeping people aware.
My grandfather, a tank commander in the Us 3rd armored div, took pics when he and his men got to Dachau in April 45. I saw those pics when I was 4 y.o. which was *my* intro to the Holocaust. It shocks me that not only do ppl live today that have no knowledge of this but there are those who deny this history. Disturbing.
I just visited Dachau this past year. The tour guide told me they made every resident of Dachau walk through the camp to see what they had been denying and ignoring. Some today still deny it. I guess that's easier than living with guilt? After everyone was buried and the camp was cleaned up, the city wanted to raze it, but the French made them keep it up as the memorial it is today.
The irony of one man passing judgment on another fellow being for an implied opinion bias of beliefs that are unable to withstand even the slightest factual critique.
Firstly, no state acting as a nation is blameless but specifically your numerical ‘stats’ are ALL blatantly incorrect. Your Jewish population as reported in the Encyclopadia Judaeica in 1938 identifies a Jewish population as 6, 347, 558, 852 not 17 million quotes, the Rhineland Famine 1945-46 caused by allied blockading etc, the Red Cross Organisational report to the Nuremberg War Crimes process was categorical in its documented experience of no witnessing any indications relating to any factor other than the abject starvation due to the logistical dismantling for Germany’s infrastructure.
Quite frankly, as one of the most public-ally revered US Generals operationally when stated Gen Patton “I fear that we have fought on the wrong side in this war and in fact should have fought alongside Germany.” and with the Jewish Holocaust statistics in acknowledgement of the revised total of 78,000 deaths in camps in agreement with Jewish Israeli Holocaust groups.
To summarise succinctly, why even attempt to have a intellectual engagement where others are so indoctrinated where they are completely programmed with an ideological belief of “the most evil person?” trained like a good hamster on a wheel whilst you accept a fiction that is a straw man!
The “All liies” certainly weren’t about truth regarding the true financiers of if the famous “Internationalist Clique“ that destroy good people’s through deception for by lack of knowledge my people are destroyed!!

Thank you dear friends for posting this video. So many do not know the history and it appears the world is ripening for another Holocaust. May G-d forbid and may you be blessed for your efforts to educate! Shalom
Thank you for posting this video. My great grandmother’s cousin was in a concentration camp in Latvia. He survived and joined Stalin’s Red Army to fight the Nazis. The only family I have from my mother’s side (Jewish side) are the relatives who escaped Pogroms in Europe the late 1800s and made it to the USA. They lived in poverty for many years but no longer feared being murdered because they were Jews. All other relatives who stayed in Europe were exterminated by the Nazis.
My mother, along with my Grandmother and her little sister spent five years as little girls in a refugee camp in Russia after having to escape Latvia after the Nazi's took over. My mother's father went MIA as a fighter pilot. My father lost his father in a war camp when he was two, leaving just him and his mother. (my Grandmother) They were German Mennonite farmers. My Grandmother sent my dad to live with relatives where they hid him in an underground bunker until he was six because my Grandmother was terrified that the Nazi's would find out that she was spying for the Russians. She was hired as a Russian translator for an SS Officer because she could speak Russian and translate the Russian prisoners answers during Nazi interrogations. She witnessed horrific things. She managed to sneak out Nazi information to the Russian side. Her SS Officer boss eventually caught her. Instead of having her tortured and shot, he managed to convince her to trust him so he could help her. She did, and he secretly managed to not only reunite her with her son (my father) but he also snuck them out of Germany to safety and eventual freedom to Canada. My Grandmother testified on his behalf at the Nuremberg trials, saving his life. You see, he not only helped and saved her and my father, he also managed to secretly help and hide as many Jewish families as he could. My Grandmother only found this out after he caught her spying. We in Western society take what we have and have been given for granted. I was going to sleepovers and making Santa's lists when I was a child, while both of my parent's were hiding from Nazi's, losing father's, and praying they would see their next birthday. All experiencing this before they were the age of eight years old. This horrific time in history should be shared and taught to every younger generation so we hopefully never repeat any of it.
As someone who studies history in Germany with the goal of becoming a teacher, I think on the one hand, the video gives a appropriate insight onto the crimes commited by Nazi-Germany. However, it also lacks crucial information. Especially the hatred against jews. It was not Hitlers invention. Jews had been prosecuted since the middle ages, but with the 1860s a new kind of hatred emerged in all of Europe, not just Germany. The racial antisemitism.
On top of that, since Hitler came to power in 1933, Jews were discriminated against step by step. They were fired, they weren't allowed in cinemas or public pools and their stores were forced to close. In the end, some of the richest companies in Germany were forced to be sold to "Aryans" for an abysmal low price. The Second World War and its industrialization of murder were the cruel climax of this hate.
Never again, never forget
There are far too many coincidences, right up to Hitler's rise to power. That's why you can't look at it from a secular perspective; you should read the Tanakh or the Bible, that's where you'll find the answer. In the end, it was about the fulfillment of the prophecy that Israel was re-established.
This. This needs to be pinned.
The Video is lacking allot of important informatio.
As a historian, I agree. Learning how this happened in the everyday Germans backyard is probably more important really. We need to understand how it was allowed to happen so that we can stop arepeat. If we only recognize it when the exterminations start, then we are too late. The Holocaust started in 1933, and it was step by step all the way to 1945.
@@kaleidoscopingme- It's Prager U. They really do have an agenda. (I wonder what else the lady said, because it sure sounded as if she was about to add something.)
I had your basic high school education, back when students had to earn their grades.
In college, I picked up a book from a 19th Century set entitled _3,000 Years of History._ That was when I learned that the 'Aryan' BS was a common belief. (And I wish I could remember how they dismissed the Great Wall of China, because it was a masterpiece of admitting it was impressive but not equal to anything white people had done.)
I remember when I was young and my father had me stay up late for a week as we watched a documentary on the Holocaust. I was maybe 9 years old and my mom didn't think that I should be staying up watching all of this, but, my father told her, "He needs to know this. He needs to know what happened so that he can tell other people and maybe stop it from happening again." My family is not Jewish, however, many of my family served during WWII and saw firsthand these concentration camps, saw the piles of bodies and saw how malnourished these Jewish people were when they were liberated. There is an old saying about if you do not learn from history that you are bound to repeat it. My father saw that people might not remember the past or even know what happened for whatever reason and he felt that I needed to know so that I could possibly help stop it from happening again. That documentary was a hard watch for me, but, I am thankful to have watched it as it has stuck with me ever since and if I have anything to do with the future, I will do whatever I can to ensure something like that never happens again.
Speak up loudly for Israel and the Jewish people, and speak up loudly for Ukraine. It's all the same evil all over again. Do the right thing and speak up publicly. If you are one of the 'silent majority' the others will take courage from your courage.
Why does the title say "Black people..." instead of the hosts names?
If you guys knew the details, you would be even more horrified. He also killed 5,000,00 Romanians, Gypsies, disabled, and people with Mental illnesses. But the full details are almost too horrible to be believed
Guess they don't really have an idea about large numbers, like most people.
also gay people
Full details are lacking all too often
And they did more than kill people. People were humiliated and tortured, physically and emotionally. Horrific experiments were performed on some. 😭
and 5 million non Jewish Poles. And the other Poles that were r*ped, tortured, experimented on, endured forced labour in the most gruelling/hideous conditions.
The Nazis killed approximately 6 million Jews, but they also killed Soviet civilians, prisoners of war, Polish civilians, Serbian civilians, Sinti & Roma minorities, homosexuals, disabled people, Jehovah's Witnesses. In total...the Nazis killed approximately 17 million people between 1933-1945. There's another Prager video you should watch that compares the Nazis vs. Communist. The Communist killed more than 110 million people in over 100 countries all over the world. They had concentration and death camps as well. The Nazis are long gone, however, the Communist ideology still exist today. Both ideologies (Nazis & Communist) are truly evil and left death and destruction in the world.
Absolutely correct. They also killed a lot of Priests and Religious Sisters of the Catholic Church because our faith is Judeo Christian we identify with the Jews and also Protestant Preachers etc... Maximillion Kolbe was murdered by the Jews when saw a Jew was about to be murdered he said he would take the punishment for him - they starved him for weeks until he died in a cold dark dungeon of a cell and many other similar stories. Pope John Paul ll was imprisoned during that war and worked in a rock pit. Hitler hated the Jews but he also hated the Catholics.

They still focus on slavery.
I had to learn about the Holocaust by watching documentaries and reading books….on my own. And what I learned was so horrible I became obsessed to learn more because how could an entire country, as well as Nazi sympathizers in other countries go along with this for so long? How did one man convince so many people to be hateful, racist, cold blooded mass murderers?

We learned about the war in history class and were taken on a school trip at age 13 to the only concentration camp that ever existed in our own country in Breendonk near Antwerp where we witnessed first hand the horrors of the war and the Holocaust. I can tell you standing next to the ovens seeing pictures of the people that were burned inside them for being Jewish leaves quite an impression you will never forget... now 60 years later I still see those images and of the courtyard against the back wall of the fort where people were tied up to be shot... Too bad they don't teach that in history class anymore...
My dad was a dentist and he had an older lady as his receptionist. Her husband survived the concentration camps. He was a boy at the time, but he showed me the tattoo on his arm of his number, and then showed me all the permanent scars on his back from where he was whipped.
Growing up I had a neighbor named Kellerman. He had concentration camp tattoos too. He and his wife had no children because he claimed the nazis injected acid into his balls. My dad worked with a German guy that knew "Kellerman" during the war. They were both German soldiers. Their job was to plant mines in roads to take out tanks. I'm curious how many fake concentration camp tattoos there were after the war. My opa on the other hand had a tattoo removed by a barber after the war with a straight razor and whiskey for the pain.
The American education system has a lot to answer for...
Well, 70% of students don't pay attention. So start there.
@@leifcatt this is not a case of the chicken and the egg. the fault clearly lies in the US school system. 70% of student don't pay attention (in history class) because history class is not taught in a manner that engages the students to get their attention. I grew up loving history and would always read the (entire) book in the first week or two of the school year. but even doing this i understood that the history books were the most poorly written text books in school. all fact throwing , with little to no creative sentence or paragraph structure ( how most bodies of text hook people to be interested in them). It's not just enough taht book tells students what happened and when , it needs to do so in a manner that doesn't put the kid to sleep.
The US is showing disturbingly similar signs, right now. Wait until you read PROJECT 2025...
Ever hear you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink,..
They just worried about 20 genders and white people are evil. BTW Jewish isn't a race.
My grandfather lived in Holland (non-Jew) and was placed in a concentration camp when Germany occupied the Netherlands. He survived and when the Canadians came in and liberated the country he was released. Him and my grandmother decided immediately that they had to move to Canada and immigrated after the end of the war. My grandfather never spoke to ANYBODY about the time he was in that concentration camp. NEVER.
And now you have a dictator by the name of Trudeau
I am glad they made it out. My father was there for the liberation and never forgot the gratitude of the Dutch people.
Its like he was writing about my grampa.
My dad was 14 years old and living in Amsterdam when the Nazis invaded. They were a family from America, working abroad. However, his father was a German citizen and his mother was Jewish, so my grandfather was presumed to be a spy. He was eventually able to bribe an SS officer who he had to meet with on a weekly basis in order to get fake passports. They had to take the train to Berlin in order to get transport to Portugal where they were able to get a ship to the United States.
My grandparents on my father side were Jews and living in Paris when the Nazi's were rolling in. They escaped to Switzerland with my father when he was only a few months old, got out just in time. They spent the war years in a refugee camp there.
My Uncle was a Doctor and Captain in the Royal Army Medical Corps, British Army. In the second world war he crossed to France twelve days after D-Day and in April 1945 was amongst the first to enter Bergen Belsen concentration camp in Germany. There were 50,000 civilian prisoners in an awful state and ten thousand unburied dead. He was only 28 yrs old. My Auntie said he had nightmares every night for nearly three and a half years.. screaming. Poor man. I have the letter he wrote to his family from there.
It is inconceivable to me that anyone would not know all about the Holocaust. Is our education system that bad now? That is terrifying.
Why is it the responsibility of the education systems fault? Are parents too lazy to inform their children?
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 if you're stupid enough to ask that question then you don't deserve an answer.
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 errrr that’s why you send your kids to school !!!!!

It's not that it's not taught. It's how it's taught. I certainly remember when I learned about in school it was a fairly surface level of information, and that was 30 + years ago. I highly doubt more modern classes are any better at giving more detail about it. It was mostly just a part of history class that involved the entirety of learning about WW2.
@@Reba-123 If you are commenting on why schools don't teach about the holocaust, why should they? I didn't send my children to school to learn about the holocaust. I took them to Auschwitz and Dachau to learn about it.
Important to note it wasn't just Jews, it was also homosexuals, gypsies and travellers and the disabled.
Anyone deemed unfit.
Exactly. Basically anyone considered 'other'
It was also 3 million Polish Catholics and many millions of Russian POWs and civilians. Hitler had a thing about the Slavs as well as the Jews and whoever else he considered vermin.
And Jehovah's Witnesses.
Some of the ways they killed the gay prisoners were so horrible I can't even tell about them here. They would give you nightmares for the rest of your life. And even in America, the military was rounding up gay American soldiers and keeping them in DOG CAGES. Even though those American soldiers had fought for years to defeat the Nazis, after the war they were given dishonorable discharges and they never got any veterans benefits. They were sent home with a letter that would ensure they never got a job ANYWHERE. That is why San Francisco became a mecca for gay men. it was the only place in America besides NYC where they could find an apartment and a job. A lot of this is in the documentary COMING OUT UNDER FIRE.
I am an 80 yr old white woman living in SA but born in Holland during that war. As a toddler I have endured hardships with my parents from Hitler's cruel acts. I am not jewish but the way the Nazis went about bombing and killing in Holland left a big scar. Holland even had famine for a few years and we ate what fell out of the windows from moving trains carrying germans. In Amsterdam there was a big central paved plain amongst buildings. People with the Jewush arm bracelet, which they were forced to wear, were often stopped there by the nazis , especially older folks, and made to undress completely in the icy snow weather. Then they were made to walk in a circle with their noses stuck in the backsides of the people in front of them. Each person coming passed were forced to stop and look. The nazis, mainly all young men, would laugh and cheer for hour after hour at the circle of naked men and women. If one fell down because of freezing or tiredness, they woul beat them to a pulp. This was just one of the many despicable acts they did for their pleasure.
❤
I'm also from Holland and although too young to have been there myself I remember my father telling me about how he had to scrounge through rubbish bins to find food. He had been isolated from his family during that time and was very young. Then on my mothers side, my Uncle had been ganged up on and beaten for protecting a Jewish friend.
I'm so sorry that you had to witness that 😢

So, you're presently living in SA?! if that's south Africa, the invading Europeanoids did the same, or even WORSE, to the indegenous Blacks....
Not so long ago you had torchlight processions in Charlottesville with the participants chanting “Jews Shall Not Replace Us!” You all saw how that turned out. It is still real!
The craziest part is this wasn’t even that long ago. 80 years.
When Joe Biden was born, Hitler was still alive. Biden born in 42, Hitler died in 45.
The Holocaust happened within living memory.
not even 80 yet it was 79 years ago and its feels so wierd to think about
MLK and Anne Frank were born the same year.
I would say that the craziest part is that there is genocide even nowadays.
Our school system has gone to hell if you never heard of the Holocaust that's like saying I didn't know Lincoln was shot.
Not all schools.
WWII is the most important period of history for people to learn. It was wholesale murder on the world stage with staggering numbers. All the behavioral signs of the Nazis and the SS are right here in front of us today. People aren't reacted to this threat because they don't realize it's the same thing as the Holocaust at the outset
Lincoln was shot!? Rip to him 😪
Nah! It is much much much worse. Lincoln was just one person. But the Holocaust and the consentration camps took the lives of probably more than 15 milion people. 6-8 million of them being jews.
They probably have no CLUE who Lincoln is.
"Just some ole White Dude." to these types.
Born in the U.S.A. to Serbian and Slovak parents that came to America on "The Boat" along with their mothers and fathers whom I never met. Once my father gained citizenship, he joined the Army and went back to Europe to fight the Nazis. Tours in France and Germany. Toughest man I ever met, all 5.4" inches tall. To all the woke a-holes out there, learn history. Genocide is real, the Holocaust was not fabricated, and the death of millions is a deep scar to humanity. Support Israel now in their time of need, not the Palestinian hate mongers.
“…all the woke aholes…”. WTF are you talking about? First, it’s not the left that is banning books that teach history. Second, it’s exactly that kind of stereotyping and dehumanization that lead to the holocaust in the first place. Why don’t you go and actually read about mid- to late 1930s Germany and then consider whether today’s “right” or “left” shows the same characteristics, talking points and tactics that we are seeing in the US today. Those who fail to learn history are doomed to repeat it. Let’s hope we all wake up soon.
I want to say I have a 19 year old granddaughter who knew nothing but what she got from the "public school" system and was pro-Palestine until my wife and I set her straight.
I'd love to shake your dad's hand for what he did. I do feel sorry for your dad in what he saw and went through and wish he wouldn't have had to.
As a Romani Gypsy who lost my Grandfather and my twin Aunts in the camps, I 💯 stand by Israel 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
The "woke" side aren't the holocaust deniers. And just because Nazis and Hamas did evil things doesn't make the slaughter of Palestinian civilians right. Didn't your parents ever teach you two wrongs don't make a right?
Excuse me. Most "woke" people know about the holocaust. It's the ones who complain about them that don't.
please watch Shindler's list! This movie is so horrific and is a true story during WW2, nothing was dramatized for the movie, in fact, the director Steven Spielberg had to be lessened a little because of how horrific the real stories from the survivors were
Even if they don't teach this in school, there's an endless supply of movies and documentaries about this subject. There's no excuse for not knowing.
you can't blame youth if the people influencing their learning don't refer them to the literature.

What frightens me is the single most evil act in modern history is quickly being ignored and forgotten by the coming generations. It CAN, and WILL happen again, folks, once we no longer care.
Take a look around, it's already getting support with all the anti-Israel/pro-Hamas protests. These people also claim the Holocaust never happened even though there is so much evidence, pictures, books, personal stories, etc. It's horrible and it's being ignored for the most part
Did it happen though???
All the people who actually lived through and remember WWII are dying off, unfortunately. This is just... what happens--especially when grade school history education is so poor.
@@Willy_Tepes Considering that literally anybody involved fully acknowledged that it happened, yes, it happened.
@@Crazy_Diamond_75 You are wrong about that, but I am not allowed to argue otherwise. YET.
I learned about this in school and had Jewish friends who told me about it, but that level of evil is hard to comprehend. It became truly real for me when I had a client with numbers tattooed on his forearm. It was the only tattoo he had so I asked him about it. It was his tattoo from the Nazi death camp. He was only a young child when the Nazis tattooed that number on his arm. The rest of his family died in the gas chambers. He was fortunate to survive until the Americans came in and rescued the remaining prisoners at the end of WWII. Hearing his story made it very real for me. To hear young college students today chanting, "From the river to the sea," makes me so angy and fearful, for what that phrase represents is the goal of the total extermination of all Jews. Most of those kids have no idea that they are promulgating Hitler's wishes, and yet they are ever ready to call others with whom they disagree Nazis.
//The rest of his family died in the gas chambers. He was fortunate to survive until the Americans came in and rescued// Wrong. Death factories were on East, without any American help. 6 or more death camps were in german-occupied Poland. Poor your hasbara efforts.
I love how the Italians were left out of the Axis in this video.
History repeats itself when we refuse to learn from it.
It's why certain groups always complain about having historical information available to the public.
100% correct. A friend of mine said to me that something like the Holocaust can never happen now and I was dumfounded. People will remain blissfully ignorant while right now as we are all discussing this subject, things are already in motion towards a very similar outcome in the United States. The writing is all over the wall and folks can't even realize that 2+2=4. Bottom line everyone is too worried about the money in their pockets instead of the collapse of any democracy that may be left in this country.
Yes, and we are very close to it. Read Project 2025. Anyone who isn't MAGA will be horrified.

Add Ghengis khan to the list and you got the top 4 of the top ten. Btw George W Bush comes in at number seven.
I'm German and I'm shocked and a bit disappointed that there are adults in the western world, that don't know about the holocaust. If we want to protect our democracies, I think it's extremely important to learn as much as you can about the 3rd Reich. And I'm happy that you are taking the first step right now. Also I think its imortant to learn about the faults of the Weimarer Republic. That was the democracy Germany had, before the Nazis took over. It wasn't protected enough against fascism. Today some laws are in place to protect Germanys constitution: the banning of extremist parties, more political education, no banning of books! (only restriction of distribution), more is done about inflation, partys have to get at least 5٪ of the votes to avoid the fragmentation of the parliament...
All I would wish for is other countries learning from our mistakes instead of repeating them.
And I am shocked that Germany today tolerated the Palestinian protests after Hamas attacked Israel.
@@JJfromPhilly67 They're allowed to protest for palestine, but not for Hamas. Also they aren't allowed to scream antisemitic stuff or burn flags. That are among the only reasons the protests could be banned. Whether Palestinian protests themselves are already antisemitic, is heavily discussed here. Germany is generally really hesistant to forbid demostrations. Here are some reasons I could find: 1. the government prefers to ban the organizations, that plan the demonstrations (if proven to be violent)
2. people think that you have to listen to opinions opposite of your own, as long as the people who voice these opinions aren't politicians (even if they are as absurd as the 'Reichsbürger', some people that want the emperor back)
3. banning of demonstrations is seen as a radical move and has to be checked several times, before it can take place
4. bans in Germany are decided by each region independently, not throughout the whole country (some cities did ban the protests, others didn't)
@@JJfromPhilly67 i dont even know what to write. Palestinians are not all hamas there are a terror group its like saying all muslims are isis with is just wrong
Mean while in Italy we have fascists all over the place, from the president of the senate to the random man in the streets. I saw a fucking nazi-fascist funeral in Milan, have anyone got arrested? Obviously not, because according to the judges “they were just expressing a thought”. Welcome to Italy, a place where being a fascist is fine, but saying that someone is will get you in trouble.
@@JJfromPhilly67 A lot of these were actually not allowed. Democracy still applies to everyone here and not all protests were on the same "level" either. ppl have the right to protest. I dont agree any form of hate, but those who werent chanting slurs, antisemite slogans and other stuff can and should be able to protest.
How is it possible this was your first time hearing this??

They teach world history too, but they tend to skip the holocaust or barely touch on it. @@KnightmareUSA
They said themselves they learned about it in school but watched the video to widen their knowledge on the subject.

I can't believe that there are people who don't know what the holocaust is !
As a German you have to deal with the topic and the history. This year I also did an Anne Frank tour through Germany and visited the many mass graves in Bergen-Belsen. This stuck with me for a long time and it's so crazy. Yes, they were Germans, but they were Nazis who followed a madman. The old, the weak, the disabled, political prisoners, Jews and everyone who didn't fit the Aryan image. It is a very dark chapter in our history and many no longer deal with it. Some things today also take on frightening aspects. It seems as if no one has learned from this and history is repeating itself in some ways.
I'm finding history repeating itself many different times going back to Charles Martel at least. You know, the French general who turned back the first Islamic invasion in the 700s.
Holodomor
at least germany does enough measures to protect its jews, wish all countries followed germany, they know what happened to the jews the best
The Aryan image aspect is extremely odd, as Hitler was far removed from that himself.
@@terencejay8845 Yeah, that was always the most interesting hipocrysy of the Nazi ideology for me. They were all so hyped about the Herrenrasse, that they failed to notice that all their leading figures like Hitler, Himmler and Goebbels were, small, dark haired and brown eyed men and not tall, big blond and Blue-eyed Nordic Guys.
“One death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic” Joseph Stalin another evil monster but in this he had a point.
OK.
8 million Russians died to defeat German invasion.
7 million allies died, on the west.
6 million Jews died in Holocaust.
5 million minorities, gays, etc. died in the camps too.
On D-Day alone 8,000 allied soldiers died getting a foothold on Europe. 8,000 soldiers IN ONE DAY. (Just learned that and I'm still
stunned.)
My Uncle Bill Lorenz died by machine gun fire from a church, 22 days before Germany surrendered. I sleep in his bedroom.
Please say his name out loud. He's not just a statistic.
Very true. What makes killing easy? You first dehumanize a group of people. It then becomes easy. Abortion uses the same principle. If the unborn is not a human being then it is easy to abort.

@@TheJimicus How is a miscarriage the same as an abortion? One is a natural occurence, the other is a deliberate act. Btw, unwanted pregnancy is 99.99% preventable. Do you have a point to make about the video?

And states that outlawed abortion now have doctors scared to treat miscarriages (it's the same basic treatment) forcing women do go through it at home or try to leave the state. My state is even trying to make it a crime to go to another state for an abortion.
I was stationed in Northern Germany when I was in the service. While there, I visited a Nazi concentration camp called Bergen Belsen. Ann Frank was murdered there. Not much is left. Some of the fence line. A single building that is a recreation of the barracks that kept the victims. There were hundreds of these barracks. You walk along a path and you come up on a huge mound. In front of the mound is a sign. It reads in German “ten thousand buried.” Another sign, Fifth thousand buried. A few mounds read twenty five thousand buried. And there were at least ten burial mounds like this. The other thing I noticed was that there were no birds. None. The air was perfectly still. Not a sound. It was evil. Leading out of the camp was a small set of rail tracks. These tracks went along side a highway and lead into a swamp area. The Nazi’s would fill the ore carts with the victims and dump them into the swamp. The Germans call this area the Troifuls moor. In English it means the Devils swamp. If we, as a people, do not learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it.
Thank you for your testament. To Jewish people it means so much. We are not many, but we keep trying to survive the evil attacks on us. And things are about to get worse. Iran and Russia and China... they are all together in it.
You could say that Anne Frank was murdered by neglect, but she wasn't actually murdered in the camp, she died of typhus that was spread by lice in the camps, a very common death. The camp was released shortly afterwards, so it's very unfortunate that she died so close to being rescued. Anne Frank was deemed fit for work, the Nazis usually didn't kill those that were fit for work since they needed the workforce. Usually only men were deemed fit for work but many women were also saved because they couldn't kill at a fast enough rate so they were let in to the camps instead of being sent to the gas chambers.

The missing context in this video is the long history of general anti-Semitism in the US and Europe. There were very many enthusiastic "fellow-travellers" with the Nazis in the countries that they controlled. Many countries including the US, refused to take Jewish refugees from Nazi persecution before the war started. The Nazis were the worst because they made it government policy, but just constantly saying "the Nazis did it" ignores the culpability of all the other people that turned a blind eye, or even cooperated with the Nazis.
And sadly, antisemitism today has n America and Europe is the highest since the Holocaust
@@hpys. This is true, but it being spurred on by the awful ideology that the West has allowed to invade over the last 20 years.
Another item that mustn't be forgotten is the fact that the United States literally taught the Nazis the science of mass murder; before Hitler came to power, the states of California and Colorado were using poison gas to kill people in enclosed spaces....
My grandmother was German and Christian. Her mother was euthanized because she was sick, her brothers were killed for refusing to join Hitler’s third Reich, she and her sister were able to leave the country. Something the video did not mention, but I also truly believe that this was a spiritual battle of good versus evil and it’s still a spiritual battle now. Prayer is powerful. If you want to read a book about that time, there are two books one is called the “diary of Anne Frank” who was a young girl at that time. The other book which is also a movie free on RUclips is called “the hiding place.“
Tqvm for suggesting the titles of the book 😊
"Night" by Eli Wiesel is a better book for older students or at least taught in conjunction with Anne Frank. "Night" is the true account of what happened in the camps. Anne Frank's story ends with her journal, readers are not aware of how horrible her death was.
And don't forget to read the War Novel "MILA 18" by Leon Uris

The Holocaust can not be taught in 5 min. It is not just Germany that committed atrocities. It is not just jews that were persecuted. Black people were on his kill list, too! This means there is an ignorance of WWI and WWII. Many black Americans fought in these wars! What is being taught in February? Juneteenth? Being black is not singularly about slavery.
Nice use of "beyond the Pale"! I see what you did there.
@@regularsizeruss3874 The phrase “beyond the pale” is often confused with “beyond the pail,” but it has no connection to buckets. A “pale” is a stake or pointed piece of wood. “Paling” is a related term, seen in “paling fence” and “impale”.
The “pale” was the enclosed and safe area, inside the paling fence. To be “beyond the pale” meant being outside the accepted home area. Catherine the Great established the Pale of Settlement in Russia in 1791 for Jews, restricting trade between Jews and Russians. Some Jews were allowed to live “beyond the pale”.
@@Jackalhit I am well aware. That was what I was referring to. Using that phrase in that context struck me.

I think this is amazing to teach some real history to young people like yourself. I’m so proud of this work. Can’t wait to see what you have next. Bless you 🇺🇸
The fact that you didn't know what the holocausts was is terrifying. WHen they open the death camps Eisenhower (who was a 5 star general and in charge of the allied forces) ordered that everything be documented. I don't remember his exact words but to paraphrase "We need to record this. THe time will come when people will say it never happened." It appears he was right!
This is what we need to be so careful about in our times, right now the USA feels like Germany just before the rise of Hitler.
Trump with no restrictions will make Hitler look like Mother Goose.
The US is divided into two hostile camps. Each believes that the other is not only wrong, but incurably stupid and/or willfully evil. Both think the other side is out to destroy their way of life. Each believes that the other has a philosophy antithetical to the traditions our nation was founded upon. Both believe unshakingly that voting for THEIR leader is the only way to save civilization, even if he is deeply flawed, because the other side MUST be kept out of power at all costs.
One of these sides is called the Democrats. The other side is called the Republicans. If you believe that the political class of either party cares about anything but protecting their own wealth and dominance, you are part of the problem and one of the 100,000,000+ reasons this country is going to end up with either a Hitler or a Stalin in the next few decades. Both are examples of what happens under one-party rule.

Neighbors who betrayed each other to the Gestapo, children who betrayed their parents at school.
People who threw all their Christian faith, all their morals overboard, driven by the indoctrination of the Nazis.
THAT is the Holocaust. A result of maximum violent indoctrination. A collective act of an entire people. An entire state, not just the leadership, but every citizen, guilty of crimes against humanity.
so much horror , and I dont understand how the HOLDOMOR in Ukraine the most underrated and underreported , man made starvation/genocide where almost 7 million lives in Ukraine, where the population was forced to cannibalism ...
@@johndoe-pp4vo ...as opposed to Hitler,Genghis Khan,Pol Pot?
agreed. At least Hitler killed other people. Stalin killed his own people
What is more surprising is that no one talks about the mass murders by Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and others in the name of communism.
"No one"? People talk about that all the time, maybe not as much as Nazi Germany, but still.... you are right that it's important to remember that fascism and murderous authoritarianism can creep up no matter the country, ethnicity, or economic ideology.
I was born in New Zealand in 1962 and had family who fought in WW2; it is staggering to think that there are grown adults who know little or nothing about the Holocaust. I became a historian, and of modern (as opposed to ancient) history, WW2 is something which everyone should know about. Not in a strictly 'names and dates' sense, but to learn what human beings are capable of. WW2 was a masterclass in human capacity for sheer evil and cataclysmic destruction; old cities and their architecture maimed or destroyed, artworks lost (along with artists and architects), fearfully destructive weapons invented, and the last word (hopefully!) in dehumanisation was reached with the mechanized, 'industrial' obliteration of designated sections of humanity and turning entire time-honored urban and rural communities of human beings alike into mere numbers on a page. Besides the Holocaust there was of course the 'sci-fi made real' development of jet engines and the German V2 rocket (the first man-made object to reach outer space) as well as the atomic bomb. Women again proved to be as efficient a workforce as the men they replaced, the soldiers and their support-structures in supply, administration etc. came in different hues, but all fought for the same side. WW2 was a crucial episode in history for a great many reasons, but the Holocaust is the most crucial thing to know about of it all. Just how bad can human nature be? This bad.
Pol Pot did a bang up job of showing just how bad can human nature be.
@@ricklorimer9984 Pol Pot was more demented and evil than Hitler in my opinion although both burn in Hell today...
Most American kids can't tell you what WW2 was about. That's staggering.
@@theduke8504 One of the most truly chilling aspects of both Hitler's Nazi and Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge regimes; the 'banality of evil' personified by all those office buildings full of ordinary 9-to-five clerical staff who went to work every weekday to meticulously sort, count and grade names, numbers and statistics so literally millions of people were systematically put to death. The clerks, secretaries and such were just ordinary people who were concerned about their rent, their pets' health, what to wear to the party on Saturday or if they would find a suitable life-partner, while at the same time they were condemning people to the death camps or authorising requisitions for supplies to make their mechanised, systematic death-machine rolling...
Try Stalin, killed many more. The west ignored this, never taught in school. Pol Pot under US control, 2 million at least.
how in the h3ll can two adults get through education without learning about the holocaust?! sad
This is the "picture" of hell that the bible talks about, a place white out hope , repent while you can, jesus is the only way to ceep you out of hell and thats way he died on a cross for you and for me, be blest my friends!
How does any individual with a public education in the USA not know this?
The term "Public Education" is the answer to your question.
They are being taught that denial of trans rights is the real holocaust.
I’m so pleased that you are learning about the holocaust. I’m also surprised that this is not taught in schools. It wasn’t that long ago in our country’s history. I’m also pleased that you are using Prager U material. Very excellent data and information. Keep learning and I hope that you’ll do even more research on the holocaust because we do not want a repeat of that abomination.
How could this be the first time they have heard of the holocaust? This is unbelievable.
We have students who don't learn about any military actions except the War on Terror up to the withdrawal from Afghanistan (maybe).
It’s not surprising. If we are even only judging that moment in history, the Japanese did a lot more horrific things even the Nazis wouldn’t. Even when it comes to death toll, Mao killed far more. Schools are very lax teaching these things
They say they have heard of the Holocaust, just not to this depth.
"Sir Nicholas George Winton MBE (né Wertheim; 19 May 1909 - 1 July 2015) was a British stockbroker and humanitarian who helped to rescue Jewish children who were at risk of being murdered by Nazi Germany during the Holocaust. Born to German-Jewish parents who had immigrated to Britain at the beginning of the 20th century, Winton assisted in the rescue of 669 children, most of them Jewish, from Czechoslovakia on the eve of World War II." He kept his secret for over 50 years
God Bless him ❤️
They weren't taught this in school? Wow.
Growing up in the U.S., I remember there was this man that lived near me. I didn't know him, but I would see him walking down the street now and then. He had this way about himself, the way he walked slowly, the look on his face that I'll never forget, even 50+ years later. He was a survivor from one of the prison camps.
I had an uncle (my Mom's only brother) that I never met as he died in Austria fighting in WWII, before I was born.
My Dad also fought in WWII, in the Phillipines. Luckily he made it out ok and lived a long life.
As the phrase goes: Never Forget.
I love to see black people doing this video, thanks. As a Jew my parents fought alongside blacks in the civil rights movement. Jews volunteered and came to the aid of Martin Luther King. They help with groups on the ground, finances, and political influence. Jews have always been a natural alliance with blacks and black causes, but in the last half century American antisemites have been working hard to turn blacks against the Jews and break up the alliance. Now there is a disconnect based on lies and we need to get it back.
My dad did the same. It seems so strange that the black community turned on the Jewish community
@@Rollergirl1980Jews enslaved black people, I'm not surprised the black people finally figured it out.
@@Rollergirl1980 The MAIN reason being is that some prominent Jews rose up and shouted to high heaven about the holocaust being "the greatest tragedy of all time, for all people" when the United States committed far worse evils against Blacks and indegenous peoples of this land....
The holocaust was a PUNISHED EVENT; the perpetrators were rounded up, put to actual justice, and some were even EXECUTED....contrast this with the United States, where NONE of the benefactors of slavery and the deliberate extermination of the natives were ever punished, but instead very well REWARDED!
Furthermore, the holocaust had an actual end; meanwhile, slavery STILL CONTINUES in the United States, using the administration of "justice" as an excuse!
Not letting the people know the real truth is the best way to repeat the same tactics on another group of people.
Precisely the tactic of accusing Israel and the IDF of being 'Nazis'. Diminishes the meaning of the word, negates the Holocaust, creates a vacuum to be filled with fascist lies about how glorious 'the struggle' (war) is. All to bring down our democracies in a chaos of war.
Or the same ones
This shows the POOR Education in this country.
Meanwhile I suppose it's on purpose. Educated people would never give the orange criminal a chance regarding elections. It's not for nothing that he said "I love the uneducated".
Or just the lack of interest people have in the world around them. Everything I know about the Holocaust I learned on my own. Instead of watching reality shows or Tik Tok videos, I read biographies and watch documentaries most of the time. Everyone needs to give their brain a rest from time to time, but that should account for much less time than actually putting it to use.
Hello, Austrian here.
Here and i assume in germany too majority of our history classes are about this time.
From 5th grade until where i am now at the end of 11th, we have done atleast half a yer abou this topic. We've seen vile documentaries, pictures and actual artifacts from there, read the Anne Frank book and have met a timewitness, additionally we will visit an actual camp in the next year. The classrooms were filled with hatred to the nzis , tears have flowed and people have thrown up just thinking about those pictures and what people had to endure. Which is why many of us are so confused how the far right has once again risen to one of the top parties, even after they have given comments about how "a second holocaust is needed". We sincerely hope things wont repeat themselves.
I am very glad you chose to educate yourself about this topic and appreciate everyone who chooses to educate others about it.
This is why we must teach ALL of real history in our schools. If we hide or forget our past we are doomed to repeat it.
As a jew which is a descend to 3 different holocaust survivor families, this is very disturbing...
I saw my family tree, my mom and dad had it made up. 2/3rds of the names had stars by them, indicating they perished in the holocaust. My great grandfather and great uncle were killed in pogroms.
I’m floored how little younger people know about major historical events.
Yes, but they can rattle off all 536 genders and their corresponding pronouns.
Don’t they teach this in school anymore? Man, we must have spent at least 2 weeks on it. I’m still horrified. Clearly there are certain selfish woke people who have no idea about this.
As a child of Holocaust survivors I’m glad you made this discovery.
Serios question. How do you feel about what Israel is doing?
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 What does that have to do with understanding the Holocaust? Why would you ask?
The only connection one can derive today is that Jews couldn’t defend themselves from the forces of annihilation in the past and now we can and we will.
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 You mean defending itself?
@@CallMeChato So do you support Israel and are you anti what Pro Palestinian supporters are doing?
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 Israel is defending itself, any other country would've done much worse.
It's sad that so many people have such high expectations for Israel, and only Israel, like it's impossible to wage a war without casualties, especially when the enemy is intentionally using it's own civilians as shields just to pump up the numbers.
I’m proud of y’all for educating yourselves about these atrocities.
I remember talking to a young navy reserve sailor in my office about 40 years ago and he had no idea about the Holocaust. Amazingly, we had this conversation right in front of a Jewish couple of about 60 years old and their jaws just dropped
