A Day In The Life Of A Nazi Guard In The WORST Concentration Camps
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 июл 2022
- For those of you new to this topic there were basically two types of Nazi camps: the “extermination camp”, for which the sole purpose was the mass killing of human beings. The German word for extermination camp is “Vernichtungs Lager”. The “Konzentrations Lager”, or concentration camp, was also a place of horror, but while in hundreds of thousands of cases, there was no real difference between the two types of camps, very generally speaking, there was a greater chance to survive in the camps designated “KZ” or “kah tsett”, as the letters and acronym was pronounced in German. In the extermination camps one's chances of survival were dramatically reduced.
Though it is the most infamous camp, Auschwitz was actually three camps: Auschwitz I, Auschwitz II - Birkenau, and Auschwitz III - Monowitz. As you may know, “Auschwitz” is the German word for the town of Óswięcim ( pronounced “Ohss vee etch im”) in south-west Poland, where the camp was located. By the time Auschwitz II-Birkenau (“beer keh now”) was gassing its first victims in March, 1942, the name “Auschwitz” already chilled the blood, at least for those “in the know”.
By the time the name filtered down to the people on the lowest rung of the hierarchy of the Nazi state, the Jews and others who made up the Nazi's victims, rumors abounded about what really lay at Auschwitz, and make no mistake, by 1943, the knowledge of what Birkenau, whose name “place among the birches” peacefully belies its function, was an open secret. Escapees and the Polish resistance disseminated the information - though most of the information went to governments and military men in the Allied countries. But, as one saw in the famous movie “Schindler's List”, the Jews, who made up 90% of the victims of the Holocaust, had heard rumors about what happened at Auschwitz, although they, like many Nazi victims, went into denial, for to believe the rumors was to lose all hope.
There were six extermination camps: Auschwitz-Birkenau, Chelmno, Majdanek, Sobibor, Belzec, and Treblinka. All were located in Poland. At Sobibor, Belzec, and Treblinka, fences covered with pine branches hid the main extermination areas, which, at all three camps, were gas chambers harnessing the exhaust from truck and/or tank engines.

There's SO much more to the Holocaust than this video, and it's essential to know and understand the truth. In the description, I've compiled a list of must-read books that tell a fuller story of what really happened. Check it out!
I don't know where I first learnt about concentration camps I just remember when I heard the concentration camps I knew what they were.
Thank you.
Thank you for the video. You have a narrators gift. If i may make one critique please, the video doesn't need so many camera click sounds or these brief distortions, for me personally it detracts from your spoken word and i found it hard to watch fully. Thank you.
@@albertusanoniem9043 The music is very beautiful. The images and videos are absolutely disgusting.
I don't know how you can say that the music is disgusting because it accompanies such vicious,murderous, images that the Germans perpetrated.

My great grandmother was born in 1921, during the war she had a very privileged job of working in a Nazi hotel in Danzig. She nearly went to Auschwitz in August 1943 when a high ranking Nazi complained about her performance, the one and only reason why she wasn't sent to Auschwitz was because she had blond hair, blue eyes and could fluently speak German. This effectively saved my entire family blood line and is the only reason why I am alive today.
Glad ur blood line and family members survived
That is crazy, I know the nazis were psychopaths but wanting to send someone to Auschwitz for for their job performance is extreme (tbh everything they did in relation to holocaust is crazy).
Damn that’s crazy
You are a lucky person. Enjoy life.
So glad she survived
This is absolutely horrifying it breaks my heart to know people can treat other people this way
It's unbelievable that so many STILL try to push their lie that this "never happened." The most outrageous method they use is "It was impossible to kill so many in so little time." Yes, they really say shit like that. I'm glad some countries make holocaust denial a crime but sadly the South Americans are the WORST. They seem to hate Jews the most and so many countries there are fiercely Hitler supporters today. I wonder if that is why monsters like Augustine Pinochet came to power...
It's unfathomable. The only people who need exterminated are pedophiles
SS and Nazis aren't people
punishment well deserved
What was going on in America during this time, it shouldn't. We had horrors going on right in our backyards.
My grandfather was in Szczecin labour camp in Poland it was “only” a labour camp as he was a Russian POW so treated marginally better than the Jews. He said he could hear the wailing of the neighbouring Jewish camp in the nights. They had no mess tins so would have to make a hollow in their coats to be served the soup rations.
My reading indicates a stout stick was used (not a crowbar) AND very few women prisoners at Auschwitz 1
To crush a prisoner's throat on the floor a spade or shovel was used.
Mount each end and see-saw (see Himmler's Double)
At Treblinka Sobibor and Chelmno the Jews undressed indoors in barracks. I don't know about Belzecs. To drown any cries from the gas chambers, flocks of geese were driven around and their honking
drowned out cries
Stettin*
@SC oh no not the nerd
He was lucky he survived. Majority of Russian POW never survived they were executed, starved, put in trenches with live grenade. Most Russian POW were sent to Auschwitz not labor camps. Initially they were went to Sorbibor.
I used to have a neighbour, old Joe. Joe was just a quality human being, always on his pedal bike, whistling, and always made time to talk to people, he used to give me a flat cap everytime i seen him as i loved them as a kid, he even played for Sunderland before the war! He liberated a concentration camp in Germany in 1945 (i cant remeber which one) i remember having a pint with Joe when i was about 15, he was getting on in age by then, but still sharp as a tack, and i remember asking him about the war and he just broke infront of my eyes, and ill never forget what he said " The Evil i saw that day at the hands of them German bastards has haunted me for 60 odd years, and to the day i die I'll never forgive them for it ". Whatever he seen fucked him up, and for such a cheerful man the venom in his voice when he shouted that out has never left me and it honestly scared me
No need for vile language

@@BS-qg4ep All of those millions bones buried in the ground are not "alleged." With all the records, written by the Nazis, and all the photographs, etc., removes "alleged" from the entire story.
And apparently, realising millions of people couldn't have died in the manner taught makes you evil.
@@jocktheripper2073 Anyone who has read about the precision of the killing machines will believe. When I learned about the planning and construction of them, I was horrified. They approached it as if building a factory for maximum efficiency. It was very clear that those creating them had no heart for them being built to destroy human beings.
@@GlennaVan You have to be really really stupid to believe that nonsense.
Please don't have children.
How could people be so evil. Such horrific torture for amusement, absolutely disgusting.
Read up on the brutality of Genghis Khan, Japanese treatment of Americans and Chinese civilians during WW2, Cambodia post Vietnam War, the Crusades, Spanish Inquisition, the Tower of London torture, the list is endless. The American Indian learned Scalping from the French, and both sides knew all about torture. Can you say crucifixion? The Romans invented it. The Japanese used it during feudal times. The Assyrians sceuward their prisoners and cooked them over an open fire. Their cries could be heard 15 miles away and took three days to die. Nobody has a monopoly on virtue and everyone is capable of evil. Welcome to the human race.
We're all capable of it given the right upbringing,relationships,friendships,beliefs,surroundings,situations etc,humans are the most violent and destructive species on earth,we kill anyone and anything just to satisfy our greed of lust,power and money
The gulag was worse
Just a prank bro
@@thesecondsilvereich7828 No IT wasn't
breaks my heart what the prisoners went through, makes me appreciate the time and place I live in
The song that Suchomel mentions was not sang by the camp-guards as you explained it. It was sang by the inmates (and had to be sang everyday in the morning and in the evening), that's a huge difference. New inmates had to learn the song from day 1 even though it is in german language.
I thought Treblinka was a dedicated death camp? There would have been no time for prisoners to learn any song.
Most people were murdered within 2 hours of arrival at Treblinka. The guards sang that song.
I did not know that. Thank you for teaching me something. I had a bit of a problem with hearing Bach in the background. I understand the Toccata and Fuge but to equate such a musical genius with these murderers did not sit well with me. I wouldn't' have wanted to hear Wagner either.
Yes copyrights and all that. Had to get that off my chest. Otherwise SUPERB video!
@@waynebrown616 not all of the prisoners were killed immediately some were used for disposal of bodies and sorting of clothes. They were able to revolt August 2nd 1943 and the 70 that survived the war were the survivors plus a couple that escaped beforehand. For reference the number of people selected to live was sometimes none sometimes a few (20-30) or as one survivor said 6 out of 6000 it depended on what was needed as any mistakes could be corrected with the next transport in a couple hours
@@eelsie Outstanding observation and deduction, Sir. Few people have read, or taken note of that, in the overall scheme of things. People know what they are told , but fewer actually look into things exhaustively. The issues to be " ironed out" , could always be solved with the next transport. Was that testimony from a former guard, Kommandant,Jewish Sonderkommando, etc? I like to read first person accounts.
My great grandpa was born in 1919. When the Germans occupied yugoslavia him and his parents were sent to a concentration camp with him being the only surviving person and his parents, brother who was just 11 and his sister got shot. He later joined the partisan and met with tito few times and he's the only reason why I am here.
This should never be forgotten 😪

Very informative. The exact type of tortures is left out of other posts. The Boger Swing seems to be the most barbaric inhumane sadistic torture done in any prison camp in Germany. Surprised Boger wasn't sentenced to the death penalty vs life in prison.
The answer is simple: there is no death penalty in the penal laws of the Federal Republik of Germany. As hard as it might emotionally be to understand: that's one lesson learned from our history. NEVER again will German laws allow the killing of people as punishment..
Death is too fast. There should be psychological torture instead of just life sentence, sitting around bored.
@@doomhippie6673 Disgusting take. Kinda ironic how death would never again be a means of punishment only when it was about the German beasts that killed so many. While that rule didn't apply to the Nazi victims
@@dimitrisgouv2554 exactly
@@dimitrisgouv2554Should you fight fire with fire?
Based of survivors per extermination camp the survivalrate is as follows:
Madjanek 4,8% survived
Auschwitz 0,7% survived
Sobibor 0,03%
Treblinka 0,007% survived
Chelmno 0,0006% survived
Belzec 0,0003%
Treblinka, Chelmno and especially Belzec we're the deadliest camps with the lowest survival rate -basically zero change of survival- but are "forgotten camps" since these we're destroyed by the nazi's. Auschwitsch remained and has become the symbol of these horrific camps.
Surprised Zyclon-B wasn't mentioned. I can't imagine the fear these people went through. They had to fear the guards during the day, then go back to the barracks and fear their own people. And there were plenty of them to fear let's be honest.
Zyclon B was not used at Treblinka Sobibor and Belzecs. They used carbon monoxide from large engines. Chelmno used gas vans with carbon monoxide. The same gas used at the Euthenasia centres
Only Audchwitz stumbled on Zyklon B by accident.
@@von-Adler Which is something I wish they would have touched on. Thank you for shedding some light on it.
Diesel engines meant for German Uboots were used. Very high carbon monoxide output.
@@louisavondart9178 No descriptions spoke of heavy engines such as from a tank or heavy lorry
@@von-Adler
Funny thing is... Zyklon B wasn't stumbled on by accident at Auschwitz... You realize Zyklon B was used against Typhus, correct?
Those sent to Auschwitz were given new clothes and shoes upon arrival, removing their old clothes/shoes which were sent to the actual "gas chambers" that was used for de-lousing clothing (lice carried Typhus). The 3-4 gas chambers even had warnings, alerting people to the use of gas and chemicals that could kill you...
Those sent to Auschwitz had to have their hair shaved off... Was this for humiliating purposes or for a legitimate reason? For a legitimate reason...Once again, Lice carried Typhus....
Those sent to Auschwitz found themselves led to a shower room... For what purpose? To de-louse. To prevent an outbreak of TYPHUS. TYPHUS which killed millions during WWI.
Wake up, realize you're being played a fool.
It’s sickening how sadistic human beings can be…. Just sickening…
May we never be the same
huh out of all the history youtube channels, there is something raw about how A Day In History presents its video and how they tell the history. Im hooked now, sometimes i forget how savage humanity can be.
A lot of people don't truly understand how little effort it takes to turn what seems like a normal everyday person into a monster. It's inside of you and you don't even realize it. It gets easier in groups. The Nazi camps weren't hiring the most sadistic guards those guards were probably pretty normal people at one point they evolved into those monsters for instance let's say there were 3 guards numbered 1 , 2 , 3 ,1 was normal 2 yells and 3 gets physical 1 starts to yell but feels getting physical is going too far 2 starts to get physical and thinks 3 just goes too far because they are now killing and so on and so on eventually they get more and more desensitized and they turn into mass murderers and if you put just about anybody in the right environment and you could turn them into the same thing with way less effort than you care to know we all have that kind of evil laying dormant inside of us and that's a very terrifying thought
I saw this in my 2d grade self, engaged in minor acts of vandalism with classmates. Leader & led seemed to have less to do with wealth & position and just inside some people. I always thought too much, not always about the subject at hand. As a "White fragile", I changed schools one too many times to become a monster.
@@tomfrazier1103 soo edgy
Speak for yourself. There's no excuse for that behavior and their were many people who understood that at the time. Don't group everyone in your way of thinking.
@@mommyanddaddy I don’t think the person is using this logic as an excuse for the behavior of the Nazi guards but as a reason. Something can have a reason without that reason being an excuse. Humanity has proven over and over again that ANY and ALL of us are capable of unspeakable acts, especially when placed in a scenario where those acts are not only encouraged but praised by peers. It happens within human social groups on both small and massive scales. The Nazis are on the extremist end of this, but I’m sure you’ve been involved in a friend group at least once in your life where one person is exhibiting toxic behaviors and then other friends in the group jump onto that bandwagon and since all of them behave the same way and make excuses for each other and themselves, that whole friendship group can become a group of bullies. This example isn’t at all comparable to the Nazis but it’s a similar premise. Groupthink/mob mentality is incredibly common in human nature, whether you’d like to admit it to yourself or not. All I can tell you is trying to be ignorant to the reality of what humanity is capable of will do you no bit of good in your life.
@@lukasyn666 again. Speak for yourself, Luka. How ignorant of you to assume that just because a few people has done something, "ANY and ALL" people will do the same. I never said humanity isn't capable of doing horrific things. I said not EVERYONE is. Ignorant of you to put words in my mouth in order to try and prove your point. I wish you all things good in your life, Luka.
Have a great one.
This is a major factor in my personal distaste for anyone arrogant, thinking they are somehow better or above other people. This is where that leads to.
We are all the same, all equal. Understanding that people want the same as you; food, happiness and comfort should be easy to empathize with if you don’t have delusions of superiority.
My good Jewish friend and neighbor was politically savvy in Berlin and planned to leave asap. He tried to get friends and family to go too, but were in denial. He left with his fiancee to be married in England. Her mother said 'no way! I'll be there with her until you're married '. By the time they made arrangements it was obvious Mom could never go back. The 3 of them is all that's left of their entire family.

My grandfather was send here in 1944 i was 4 and i still remember the most heart breaking moment in my life 😭 and having nightmare still in About 1980s..
Good presentation of the Nazi guards. More should be added such as the guards day to day activities in overseeing the prisoners. The various cruelties heaped on the prisoners by the guards alone both men and women guards. Especially, the women guards. Perhaps another video on female guards should be explored. There are a few infamous female guards such as Irma Grese and Maria Mandl. A more overall comprehensive lesson needs to be explored but a good effort.
Give us a link to your video then, we all want the most thorough information possible. Please
This video was very well done. Very descriptive. I honestly couldn't finish watching it.
The sound effects are horrible and unnecessary
How the hell did the nazis cremate 12-14 thousand people per day?
Jewish mathematics
Consider how most of us can go on to live lives of 60 years (at the least), and that 60 years ago we would still today be reeling from these sorts of events.
It’s crazy how much people look past that this didn’t happen that long ago.
I remember being a 6th grader and we were reading the Diary of Anne Frank and we had holocaust survivor woman visit our school and spent a week with my class each day in the library, learning extensively about the Holocaust, the night of the broken glass, the ghettos, we learned and saw difficult images/footage of how brutal this truly was. Really makes you realize just How many people this must of effected and sadly became victims to this horrendous situation. (Some might say: oh how could you expose and show young kids to such graphic information?) Well I just want to answer by saying: it was these exact moments of my Life, that I realized just how important empathy was. I experienced attempting to consider what these poor souls must have felt like? All around, you try and analyze the entire situation, and honestly, even tho it was very graphic material, it was a key factor that built compassion with-in myself. How I saw just how important it was to treat others around you with kindness and understanding. It motivated me to never let that level of hatred happen with-in me because I realized that "what those (evil people) were feeling and acting like is inside all of us if you let it fester and grow and flourish from inside to transfer to external communal group behavior. So rather than deny that all humans are capable of evil, actively face it, and actively chose to not let that evil and hatred grow in you." So by being self aware, allows me to realize, ok, so we all have our own unique perspective and there's no reason to force anyone to not be themselves, so it's okay to learn patience and understanding and not letting things bug you or get to you. Where you can disagree with someone but just let it go, you can even still interact with them, be friends , and you don't have to fully see eye to eye on everything, that's okay. Diversity makes life interesting and adds depth instead of everything being copy paste images of each other. (The one thing we all should agree on is people should not be able to go around hurting others around them no matter what.) So at the end of the day im very greatful for that experience in middle school of learning and facing deep parts of our mortality, our inner dark corners of the human mind, our ability to gather together and get carried away. Most of all tho, that no matter what I felt I learned humanity was capable of overcoming any amount of suffering and atrocities. That somehow someway we will find a way to live on and compassion and hope will always somehow live on. Somehow. Like nature, even forest fires occur, volcano eruptions, etc. Nature finds a way to live on, to find the good in things, to convert energy rather than waste it, it takes even difficult things and finds ways to utilize things to help with it grow and keep going even after the difficulties. Somehow turning negative into fuel for creativity and motivation. Nature is amazing, I love hiking my dogs In the dense forest here in NW Oregon. I'm always so facinating with it's abilities and the things I can observe from it if I look at it right and pay attention to it the right way. There's so much complexity going on, even just within the forest floor, or a decaying fallen old mossy tree. There's so many things that we can utilize from learning about what's going on and they almost can be transferrable attributes to other aspects of the natural world and you really see the interconnected systems, with-in different ecosystems in different ways. It's really amazing that nature finds a way and a way to find balance, hardly wastes anything, rather it finds creative manners to utilize things. It's inspiring and kinda gives hope to unknown bleak situations.
As a Holocaust and general genocide researcher and educator, I can attest to the fact that if one can get the attention and imaginations of kids, 10-14, one they can understand the need to understand difficult information and the empathy required to process it positively.

Most of these concentration camps are museums now. And the European educate their children. In Europe with school you go to visit one of the concentration camps. And that will make you never forget. I was there as a 10 year old and that’s now almost 40 years ago. I was at the concentration camp Struthof in Natzwiller. Still today I have tears rolling down my cheeks when I think of what I have seen and felt there.
Using Gavrilo Princip picture.... :(
I've been too Auschwitz too pay my respects.. it's the saddest bleakest soul destroying place I've ever been it is EXTREMELY hard not too break down but I think it's crucial that these poor unfortunate souls are NEVER forgotten and there horrendous story is spread far and wide.. R.I.P. too every single person who perished have mercy on their souls :(
I agree. I went there, thought I was prepared, and boy, oh boy, how little was I. After 20 years I still have some pictures in my head. I wished I had never seen. But as a German history teacher I feel that it is necessary to fight against denial and complacency.
The story of Franz Stangl is just as shocking on a different level - having once been awarded a medal for his achievements in the fight against nazi terrorism in Austria prior to the annexation by Germany, he was afterwards as a police officer taken over by Germany, forcefully integrated into the SS and put in charge of a death camp to "make up for his former failings". In very subtle ways the SS reminded him that he had wonderful children and didn't really want anytging to happen to them now, did he? Not trying to defend the man but that story just escalates the horror surrounding his activities.
I've been to Auschwitz three times and I actually find it frustrating more than anything because it is always full of teenagers on school trips who are completely not taking it seriously and just giggle and take selfies with their boyfriends/girlfriends. I'd like to visit the sites of the less famous death camps in Poland.

What makes me so angry 😡 is the young today who either have no knowledge or have no interest in finding out about what happened to these poor people!! Many of them feel it has nothing to do with them and they have no need to learn....they fail to realize that if you don't learn from the past you are doomed to make these mistakes over and over again!!!!....We older generations must continue to tell our children and our grandchildren what happened so that this is never forgotten!!!!My Father was in the army in WW11.

It's unimaginably sad that we can inflict this kind of terrible evil on one another. A true low point in humanity.
I've watched "Shoah," so recognized the guard who spoke and sang. Also, three or four Zondercommamdo survivors were interviewed. There was such pain and sadness in their eyes
Thank you for sharing. 😪
It is shocking and saddening how some people could be so cruel and evil as to abuse innocent civilians in concentration camps, as the SS and their cohorts, the Kapos, did. In my opinion, the SS and others who committed those sadistic crimes described in this video were the real "subhumans" or, in German, "untermensch". I am afraid that those monsters are now in Hell, that is, if they did not repent of their wickedness before they died.
Thank you for this video.

@@Metromania2022 Of course, what the British did to the Indians was abhorrent and needs to be talked about more.

You see the Deaths head on the collar. The Totenkopfverbaende guards of camps were separate from the 960,000 Waffen SS who fought alongside the Army in tanks, firing Artillery or as infantry. Both on the Russian front ans to a lesser degree in France and elsewhere, Partisans and Resistance knew their attacks would lead to reprisals yet they continued.
Don’t forget the Einsatzgruppen.
Dave. You might know why Himmler or Heydrich did not have the SS collar patch. I saw a picture of Heydrich with and SD patch on his sleeve. Also why did Himmler's license plate say SS 1 and Heydrich's plate says SS 3. Just thought you may know.

But they don't like to mention that.
Stalin Order 0428 is rather interesting as well, concerning reprisals.
Ist ja echt gut informiert. Gibts da offizielle Dienstpläne oder wie wurde das so genau erklärt
My great grandmother survived 14 different death camps during the Holocaust. She accounted for 88 attempts on her life in her diary which she managed to hide from those Nazi scum by hiding the pages and a ballpoint pen in a stale loaf of bread.
The worst attempt was when she escaped with fellow prisoners and was hunted down with the mobile diesel powered gassing truck. When they caught her, they brought her back becuase they were so sadistic that they wanted to turn her into soap and a lampshade to make an example out of her.
Luckily, the Allies liberated the camp just in time before the next bulk order of jewskin lamps had been placed by the SS.
People really need to understand history and so they will never again question how much the Jewish people have suffered.
My great grandfather told me a similar story. The atrocities are hard to write about but he luckily survived thanks to a malfunction in the Donkey Kong like minecart aka the roller coaster of death.
Never forget.
The jews and many other people suffered.Tere is no question about it, but even Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington would say the story you are telling is bullshit.
Did you even watch the video, at 12:12 he clearly says that there were 6 camps designated as death camps, not 14 and those SS were good, they would not miss 88 times, how dare you insult them.
Sometimes I feel ashamed to be a part of what we call humanity, It breaks me to see what evil there is in our fellow beings, God, don't ever forgive them.
But didn't Jesus die for ALL our sins? As the British executioner once said after some assistants didn't treat the dead bodies of executed war criminals in a dignified way "Their guilt ends with their punishment".
But I can understand your sentiment.
I agree. Jews have done some awful things over time
perfect answer to the "where do you see yourself in 5 years" question.
Truely tragic, my great grandpa died at auschwitz aswell...😢😢
He fell from the guard tower... 😢😢😢
OMG
It blows my mind how many people went along with this inside the camp. Its bad enough hearing about it on the outside but I couldn't imagine witnessing it in person. I understand theirs some sick people in the world but to have 1000s of guards kill children blows my mind.
Plus all the people who didn't work in the camps - people of the railroad, people working in the administration in communities, companies who took advantage of slave labor (Oscar Schindler BEFORE his change).... "We didn't (want to) know anything."
@@doomhippie6673 I didn't even think about the railroad works that seen them stuck in a railrod carts for days without food or water.
@@doomhippie6673 before his change??? Lmao he only CHANGED when he realized the Nazis were losing and he hurried up and tried to make himself look good.
Stop lying
I was not aware that people were released and set free after serving time in the camps.
Earlier periods of time before the Jewish community mass slaughter! This didn’t happen overnight.
The suffering those poor people went through is unimaginable. Those standing cells are nightmarish
Great research and work! Just one a suggestion: the click-sounds at cuts are a bit stressful and don't really add value.
Truly baffling.
At 9:39 there’s a girl who looks eerily similar to Anne Frank. I’m not saying it was, my own mother resembled Anne Frank when she was young as she had the same dark hair and Jewish looks. I’m merely pointing it out because it’s quite haunting how similar the girl looks to Anne Frank.
Please change the sound effects on the video, they are very loud and unpleasant for headphone users. I thought my airpods were malfunction until I realised it's the weird noise you guys use to change inbetween shots.
Love these guys
Absolutely horrifying.
I had a coworker who was a Hungarian Jew. He showed me the number, which was tattooed on his arm as a young teen. I wished that I had asked him a lot of questions. He said that if you can't keep up while on a long march and fall by the wayside, the guard would just come up and shoot you.
Unimaginable. My heart aches for the people.
Thanks for that. Good history lesson.
This made my blood pressure high.. I'll never understand fully how humans can have such evil capabilities to them, Yet also it's gross to be a human, knowing so many do have such capabilities today.
It is in human nature to destroy ourselves. Humans will always pick destrution over salvation.
I just found out about that Hitler guy. NOT very happy right now.
Really? The Scriptures will tell you exactly why humans are evil.
People thinking we’ve evolved since the Middle Ages lmao , when we’re the same as those who burned people on wooden stakes and much worse
I wonder what prompted the Germans to have this response?
My great uncle was in the wermacht , he was captured at Stalingrad. He was one of the few released in 1955, my grandma said that one day a train just showed up and there he was. Of course I was too young and didn’t probe her with questions.
I never got to speak or meet with him but I often wonder if he knew what he was fighting for.
Fighting for the freedom of Europe, fighting for your freedom, remember him as the hero he was!
He probably knew.
@@susannetroost5634 Shut up troll
No words can describe the disgust I have for this German guards for their absolute inhumane punishments and killing of innocent civilians and Jews in this death camps!I just pray that such cruelty is not repeated again
All of this evil will repeat itself unfortunately just like it always has. Human nature is messed up in general and there are more genocides happening right now and pretty much is always happening. Extremists are growing in number here in America too with different sides hating the others and it's a time bomb basically. Sorry for the depressing comment tho my faith in humanity is very low atm 😣
They were not german nazi guard SS most of them were foreigner.and not german
Human are cruel no matter how you see it. And it took many WAYS to suppress the cruelty. Anyone can be wicked and cruel.
I ask myself sometimes if this is the result of stupidity or pure evil. I remember as a fourth grader taking world history being offput by the amount of war and violence.
Yes, we were given from choice and Satan's evil can go to anyone who welcomes it.
Humans are also the ones, who defeated it. Never forget that.
Jesus, I got like 20 seconds into the video before the TV glitching you edited in annoyed me so much I had to stop 🤣
How could people do such a thing, this is just unbelievable to think it actually happened
the insane thing is this still going on in north korean concentration camps as were watching this
All the pics are terrible - but this one in particular breaks my heart 10:31
I recognized the still from *War and Remembrance. I read that and *Winds of War* one summer. It felt as though I'd been through the war by myself! Seven years separated the publication of the two books
The song wasnt written by Franz Stangl. It was written by an prisoner from Buchenwald. The text was altered by Kurt Franz in Treblinka
There’s nothing that could happen in the US right now that would make me feel justified treating someone like that . Even when I was in the Marines on deployment I made it a point not to treat anyone in an evil way .
We’re all capable of unspeakable evil, and to deny that is pure folly and hubris. Faith in our Lord Jesus is the one hope we have to never turn to pure barbarism. If man has no higher authority than himself, soon he will turn to evil that only he can permit.
The USA GOVERNMENT treated prisoners in a very terrible way.
What about child rapist and school shooters ?
But many of your comrades did to Iraqi prisoners who did nothing but defend their country against an illegal invasion.
Couldn’t finish watching this video because of all the stupid noises and unnecessary effects. Irritating.
Agreed!
KZ is a term that came into use after the war. It had a more agressive tone to it. Fitting more to the gruesome campsystem. KL is the term used in the war. From the great book, KL by Nicholaus Wachsmann.
The blue lobster music threw me of guard ☠️
Human extinction... the sooner the better, for the devils are us
Oh look, a nihilist!
@@IIISWILIII Regard the horror show around us, throughout history, and you too shall become a member.
I fight desperately against that feeling. But some days it's hard.
Theres a reason God made Hell.
What's the reason your god didn't stop the Holocaust?
what are those artifical image-disturbances? very annyoing.
Whenever I fall asleep watching RUclips videos it's always some documentary like this that ends up playing. From a documentary about castles. 6 hours later I wake up to this.
Very sad of course but overall a great video and clearly a lot of effort was put into this😊 (the video I mean, before anything gets taken out of context)
Do people realise that the German actor Kurt Jurgen was put into a concentration camp because he made a comment Hitler did not like
As someone who still votes Blue, it is the Left here in the US that is doing mild versions of that.
What a moronic statement. You do realize that a couple years ago LITERAL NAZIS supporting TRUMP marched with torches chanting “Jews will not replace us.”?!? Oh, they also mowed down a protestor, put thousands of refugees in camps WITHOUT showers and beds.. and regularly commit mass shootings lamenting how “white people are being replaced by mid people”. Get a clue.
Yes, people don’t realise it was germans being oppressed too.
@@Kaiserin Correct: homosexuals, communists, true Christians, people organised in worker's unions. The Nazis oppressed any- ansd everyone because that is the nature of totalitarism: TOTAL take over of every human being. However, there is a marked difference between the numbers of non-Jewish Germans killed and Jews of German descendence killed. And that's leaving out the Europeann people of Jewish faith. Not to speak of the Roma people, Polish people etc. The fact that Germans have suffered under Nazi rule, under the rule of othe powers or what not does not make this horrendous crime any better. The "But the others have also done...." arguement doesn't hold up in Kindergarten - much less in adult life.
@@doomhippie6673 The thing is, it does hold up. You cannot simply blame one group and hero worship another that did the same. That’s so hypocritical.
As a young man I knew the men who had been there only 14 years before. Every soldier had his camera, sanctioned or not.ive seen some of those scrapbooks,. It stuns
me that so few schools have covered this. Perhaps you might want to investigate the dentist of Bergen Belsin. Victor Capezios,I am
unsure of the correct spelling, sorry
Brings me to tears
Fewer, or no flashes would make this watchable.
Capo does not mean captain in Italian. It means chief. 😉
The "glitches" throughout this video serve no purpose but to annoy.
Yeah it’s annoying especially with headphones
Cry more kid
This is so sad and depressing
“Murderers: *Shows Gavrilo Princip* “
LOL
And to think that there are people who deny that this happened or even praising it.
That was DARK. I’ve got a morbid interest in the holocaust and nazism (mainly because I can’t get my head around it), and that was a difficult watch.
Man’s search for meaning was a first hand account that didn’t make the list 😅
My teacher once said: „concentrate or ill send you to concentration camp“
Well done!
why these annoying clicks and artifacts between scenes?
Good video, but the fake static is very annoying.
It makes me so cross that there are people today that refuse to accept that the Holocaust even happened. I enjoy learning about how even in near death these people have faith and hope. It absolutely sickens me to think that one person can do this to another. A very sensitive subject very well delivered with respect and dignity
Well… do you have proof it happened?
@@mememachine6743 She doesn't.
coolest fairytale everr written
@@KaylaSalasidis wdym archeological proof? Are you talking about gas chambers? Because it's already been admitted that the ones that exist today are reconstructions built after the war.
Secondly, there are zero traces of mass Graves at any of the extermination camps, like at all.
The corpses seen at dachau and bergen belsen were victims of disease and starvation brought on by the total collapse of Germany, not proof.
Hitler never ever talked about the physical extermination of Jewry, what he was talking about in his speech was the political destruction of Jewry in the coming war, the nazis viewed jewry as a political entity like Britain for example, the allies made similar speeches towards germans also.
Hitler never believed in the murder of jews, what he and the nazis always advocated for was the removal of jews from Europe, not the earth.
I wonder why the Germans had this response?
Informative, educational, horrible, and sad.
Worse in is store, and immanent--given what is now happening; but most are asleep and can't see what's coming.
