When I first posted this video, I honestly didn’t think anyone would be interested in watching. I’m very happy to see that it turns out to be my most successful video so far. This video’s success has given me so much motivation and an idea of which direction I should take going forward. Also, it has garnered many interesting comments which I have fun reading. Thank you all for your support. Much appreciated.
@@John-sw7ll IKR. It’s mind boggling what hatred can make people do to one another. On the other hand, love can move mountains and I prefer the later. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I am 76 now, from NYC and Jewish. (After just watching this short film, I can imagine the terror that such an admission---the words: "I am Jewish"---would mean to any poor soul born in that era.) I have no family who lived in Europe during those unimaginable years---all were in America by the turn of the 20th century. But I DO remember how so many of those in my parents' generation would utter, with a mixture of horror and anger, that they would not visit Germany if someone PAID them to go. And, as an innocent 'next generation'--I would try desperately to explain how their OWN extreme prejudice was EXACTLY how such hatred of others kept being passed on from generation to generation. But, the older I grew---and what I learned from books, films, tapes of holocaust victims---and films such as yours---eventually led me to see the Holocaust in a class all its own. And, while I will never judge people as a 'nationality' and have since known many wonderful German people, I find that a 'shiver' still goes through me every time I see a documentary showing the reality of such cruelty. Please continue to help teach people, through your films, so that such atrocities shall never happen again. Thank you very much for your film making! LhasaLynn 🙂
Thanks for watching and your kind words help inspired me to travel to and make more of these clips. I have always love history, especially WWI & II and the holocaust. Anne Frank is my idol and her diary is the one book I could read over and over again. I’m planning on visiting her annex in Amsterdam as well as Auschwitz I II & III next summer. I completely agreed with you. We all must do our parts to educate young generations about the evils of fascism, communism and what hatred and prejudices can do.
I’m not Jewish but I have a Holocaust Memorial Day badge that I polish almost every day. It helps give me some perspective when life feels like a struggle. Words can’t describe the terror. Many years ago the leading Catholic in Britain, the Archbishop of Canterbury, said about the Holocaust…”Beyond words”. To this day I still haven’t read or heard a better description. Propaganda is such a dangerous thing. Trump’s MAGA cult and our Brexiteers are on the same road the Nazis travelled. They believe that they’re Patriots but they’re really just bigoted Nationalists feeding off of hate. Why the right wing wasn’t banned after WW2 is shocking to me. The state of our countries and world is a disgrace considering the tools, intelligence and technology we have these days. No one anywhere should be hungry, homeless or without hope. We need to control population growth and have a global government and to erase national boundaries (except for art, culture and sports). And maybe we should wait until Russia has one of their military parades in Red Square and nuke them. Warmonger nations ruled over by dictators need removing. A world with free and fair elections with a system whereby power and wealth is shared more equally with plastic properly used and diesel and petrol and fossil fuels are a rarity should be the ambition. I’m not against wealth. I am against poverty. Capitalism is a genius concept but the people who own it are often corrupt. They have people blaming the systems but it’s never the system that’s to blame. It’s the people who rule the systems. Those with power, just like the police, should be respected. But they’re not. That shouldn’t be the case. Politicians, especially those on the Right, care so little about their profession that they don’t care about staining it. When bad apple police officers get found out the police always mention the harm they do to trust in the police. But that never happens with politicians. Fake news (Lugenpresse) also needs monitoring. We don’t have a free press at the moment. Newspapers, tv and social media platforms just shouldn’t be right or left wing. That’s not journalism. It’s lying. And lying on these platforms should be criminalised. Rupert Murdoch and his friends should be prosecuted for treason along with the ERGist Tories and MAGA leaders. Freedom of speech was won in 1945 at a massive cost to life. Those who paid the ultimate price didn’t sacrifice themselves just so these right wing idiots can abuse the freedoms they won for us. Freedoms most certainly do come with responsibilities. Banning racism, abuse and bigotry isn’t erasing our freedom of speech. It’s being responsible with it. Don’t I go on. I hope one day someone will give me a valid alternative to my arguments. Or is it that I’m a narcissist? Hopefully a humane and moral narcissist though. I don’t know where I get my political (and other topics) ideas from. I’m not wise. A little educated maybe. But if a dotard like me knows the answers to political questions why don’t the politicians?
Thank you that you are here and Alive...you ate the reason to life The jewish are our stars.because of you are the beginnimg and we arenot Christians without the the same god. It was important that the jews survive .because you are proud and good poeple and now we must protect from Antisemitism .no more again.
Sayonara Kowald “never again” is the exact words a German woman said to us when we walked through the camp. We must make sure history will never be repeated. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Hi Karen. Thanks for watching and commenting on this video. I made this video because I’m very much interested in WW I & II history, especially the holocaust. Yes, it was very sad and poignant to see and heard what the Nazi had done to an entire population of the Jews in Europe. It’s hard to explain but I had an eerie feeling walking through the camp. My next goal is to visit Auschwitz I II & III as well as Anne Frank’s hiding place. She’s my hero. Some people (one is my friend) said that they hate Germany and the Germans for allowing this atrocities to happen. What do you think? Please share your thoughts.
Gene Smith I have heard many stories about the disappearance of the Falun Dafa’s followers and that they’re being murdered by the CCP for their organs. Still, it might be just rumors. We don’t really know for sure.
My Grandfather was at Buchenwald. He lived to silence. Never talked abt it. He didn’t speak a word abt anything. He saw the depth of cruel and vile humanity
Juju Rellama thanks for sharing about your grandfather. It must have been a very traumatic experience for him. Same with the Vietnam veterans. I have come across many comments from them here on RUclips. I have always wanted to hear about what they’ve witnessed so I asked them about their experience and how did they feel. Most said they preferred not to talk about it. I can only imagine the horrors they witnessed. Here is another clip about the horror of war and how hatred can make people become so evil. I’ll put the link here just in case you might want to check it out. ruclips.net/video/NXWEAo9aqoo/видео.html
Служил в ГСВГ,1980 г был на экскурсии ,до сих пор под впечатлением от этого страшного места.Автору спасибо..Меня также удивили жильцы близлежащих домов,они что не знали что там творится и как там там можно было жить.
Я служил там же в 1973 и 74 годы был на этом месте. В тридцатых наше население так же относилось к лагерям ГУЛАГа, с энтузиазмом одобряя приговоры к "врагам народа". Люди по своей сути везде одинаковы.Так что до идеального общества как пешком до луны.Я тогда ещё когда заступал на наряд по роте, после отбоя ребятам украинцам читал лекции о вреде ОУН УПА и деяниях их вождей. Видишь не помогло.
I agreed with you. I love history and this is a sad part in world history. I hope to visit Auschwitz as well as Anne Frank’s annex in Amsterdam one day. Thanks for watching Elyse. I decided to make this clip for anyone who want to see it because we must remember the victims and make sure this atrocity will never happen again.
@@lilylovesitaly3932 Thank you for sharing this. My biggest bucket list travel destination besides Montmartre is actually the Anne Frank House. I am a lifelong lover of her diary. That part of history is really important.
@@elysebuehrer5981 I read her diary more than twenty five years ago and I still have the book to this day. It’s very poignant but it’s a solace that her dreams came true. She lives on even after her death through her diary. I’m reading the memoir “All but my life” by Gerda Klein. She’s a holocaust’s survivor. She was rescued by an American army officer Kurt Klein, whom she later married. I just learned she passed away in January 2022 at 97 years old. May God rest her soul.
@@lilylovesitaly3932 That book sounds fascinating! I might have to find a copy myself. I am really drawn to the stories of Holocaust survivors. Anne Frank is a big part of my heart.
@@elysebuehrer5981 same here Elyse. I ❤️ history especially WW I & II and the American Civil War. Thanks for watching and commenting on my videos. It made me feel I’m doing something meaningful for others. Happy New Year Elyse. All the best to you in 2023🎉🎆🎊

Ich glaube, dass die Geschichte sich wiederholt . Ich habe mich immer gefragt wie ist es nur möglich war Deutschland, später auch Italien mit NS Ideen zu begeistern. Und schlimmer noch, die Bevölkerung zu überzeugen, dass die anderen, vor allem die Juden an allem Schuld waren. Jetzt kann ich es mir besser vorstellen, weil ich mit eigenen Augen sehe, wie die Russen seit 8-9 Jahren in mass media in Europa, USA und bei ihren Satelliten entmenschlicht werden. Und jetzt nach dem Ausbruch des künstlich herbeigeführten Krieges höre ich die Aufrufe Russland als Imperium des Böses zu vernichten. Was früher mit Juden gemacht wurde, versucht man jetzt mit Russen zu machen. In Hassreden gegen Russen braucht man nur "Russen" gegen "Juden" zu ersetzen, und wir haben schon die Parolen aus 1933-1945. Die Mächtigen versuchen wieder den Krieg in ganz Europa zu stiften, um wie vor rund 80 Jahren daran massiv zu verdienen. Leiden darunter werden wie immer die einfachen Menschen.
My father was one of the lucky ones lifted from Dunkirk. During the early 80's, he visited Auschwitz. A German asked my dad for forgiveness. My dad said "were you there?" The man said "no I wasnt" My dad said "then there is nothing to forgive." Is it right to hate a nation because of a war that wasn't our doing? I don't think it is. What we have to do is remember and make sure generations after us remember in the hope its never repeated.
My grandfather was in the Norwegian resistance during the war, and he hated the Nazis, but not all Germans. I have the same views. In fact, at one point, a German soldier saved his life. He was undercover and took a job for the Germans, transporting weapons and uniforms. This he did in order to steal weapons for the resistance movement. When the Germans became suspicious, a soldier approached him and warned him that they were suspicious of him. If it hadn't been for that German soldier, my grandfather would have likely been imprisoned, tortured and killed by the Nazis. And my mother would never have been born.
One cannot condemn a whole nation for the wrongs of a few. There's plenty nation's that did horrendous barbaric things to humanity for instance look at Sierra Leone what happen to the poor people they were maimed for greed many nations will be judged for crimes done
A very similar situated and looking camp as Dachau. Same sort of village and surroundings, with similar facilities and layout. Incredible how the death factories look alike.
Hi there. Thanks for watching and commenting on my video. I’ve always love history, especially WW I & II, ancient Roman and Greek. I’m planning on visiting Anne Frank’s annex in Amsterdam and Auschwitz Birkenau next summer.
@@lilylovesitaly3932 My pleasure and thanks you for replying. We share the same interest and love for history. I have visited Anne Franks house several times, and although small, a really moving experience. I try to read her diary once every two years. One tip you probably already heard, please book a ticket online at least a few weeks in advance. I often bike on the Prinsengracht and see the very large queue in front of the Anne Frank house. In the Rijksmuseum on the 3rd floor there are some items relating to WW2. There is a nazi chess set with the pieces being guns, tanks and soldiers given by Himmler. There is also a resistance museum in Amsterdam near the ZOO (Artis). Also near the ‘ Hollandse Schouwburg’ a former theater where jews were required to report before going to Westerbork, a camp in the east of the Netherlands. On the opposite of that street there was a day care for small Jewish children. And many were saved by resistance fighters when a tram passed by, so the guards would not see them. If you have two or more days in Amsterdam, please consider visiting Haarlem, only 20 minutes by train from Amsterdam Central Station. You can visit the Corrie ten Boom huis (Very interesting lady!) were there was also a Jewish Hiding place behind a specially made wall. My uncle Pieter Hartog worked for her in her resistance group and saved many lives, including dozens of children. (The house is located near the large cathedral, with one of the biggest and most famous organs. (Played by Mozart) And Haarlem is a beautiful city anyway. Maybe consider staying at a hotel there, because it is cheaper than in Amsterdam. There are many more tips I can give you, but not sure if you like that or will be reading this. However please let me know if you do. I still have to visit Auschwitz Birkenau myself, it is on my to do list for a long time. However I have been to many camps, including Mauthausen (one uncle was murdered there), Westerbork, Vught, Bergen-Belsen (Anne Frank and her sister Margo died there) and obviously Dachau near Munich. I also visited Neurenberg, were the trials were held, but also the big nazi rallies (as your know). It also has one of the biggest nazi structures that now holds the holocaust museum. (Very near to the Zeppelin field) Hope you have a nice time in Amsterdam and that you will get to see Anne Franks annex. One more tip, try to also visit the royal palace at dam square. It used to be the city hall of Amsterdam, but was made into a palace by the brother of Napoleon. It is full of history and especially the world maps on the floor of the central hall are beautiful and very interesting. They are from the 17th century and a large part of the Americas are still not drawn. Groeten uit Nederland!
@Sander de Boer thanks so much for taking the time replying to my comment. I didn’t expect this video would garner so much views and interests. Also, thanks for all the tips as I have plans to return to Germany to discover more WWII and the holocaust history. You seem to know Amsterdam and Germany very well. May I ask where are you from and what’s your ancestry? I’m Asian American from Florida by the way. I’m very happy to know we share the same interest in history.
Hi lily, you responded to a comment I made earlier in a different video regarding that foolish man upsetting the Japanese. Anyway, this is some interesting content. I don't think I could stomach going to such places like these concentration/death camps, it is too terrible a reminder how evil we can be.
Janine Skywalker it was very poignant walking through the camp even after all this time. May their souls rest in peace. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Kind of hard to wrap your head around the fact that this place and others like it were in full operation not even 80 yrs ago, or within an average lifespan. Educating future generations must remain accurate and complete concerning the history and tragedy of mankind.
Dave F. Hi there, thanks for stopping by. Yes, we must make sure these atrocities must never be repeated and educating our youngsters is the key. I have always love history and yours as well as others’ interests in my video really inspired me to do more.
Lim Morell thanks for watching and commenting. It was incredibly poignant walking through the camp imagining what tortures they must have endured before they perished.
Thanks so much for your suggestions. I’m new at content making and am still have much to learn. I will definitely improve in the long run. Once again, I really appreciated your suggestions.

@@2jeremylee Hi there. Thanks so much for replying to the above comment. I’m definitely learning something I didn’t know before. Much appreciated your response.🙂
Hi, according to the majority of sources I found on the internet, this quote is credited to Albert Einstein. That’s said, there are a few other sources which said this quote isn’t his. It’s hard to know for sure so I’m gonna go with the majority. But that’s not even the point. The point is I identify myself as a free spirited, independent woman and this quote perfect describes who I am. That’s the whole reason I decided to use the quote in my videos.
I understand the beginning might be a little too long for some viewers and I can see how someone might lose interest but I have a reason behind it. I want to show the street where the Jewish prisoners marched to the camp. As I stated in the video, most of those houses dated back to the 1930’s, which is when the camp was built.
Should people wish to visit German Camp sites, they are often closed on Mondays. Remember also the Russians used these camps for many years, post War in their sector
Hi Jerry. 3:30 is the time stamp for the camp. As I stated in the video, the prisoners marched the same street to the camp and those houses were built before the construction of the camp. Every story has a beginning, middle and end and that’s what I want to show to my audience. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thank you for sharing this video, this is the first time I’ve ever seen drawings from the prisoners, they say so much, very powerful, does anyone know if any other death camps had drawings x

It used to be the city hall of Amsterdam, but was made into a palace by the brother of Napoleon. It is full of history and especially the world maps on the floor of the central hall are beautiful and very interesting. They are from the 17th century and a large part of the Americas are still not drawn.
Groeten uit Nederland!
This very much reminded me of Dachau as well as Mauthausen near Linz.
@Sander de Boer thanks so much for taking the time replying to my comment. I didn’t expect this video would garner so much views and interests. Also, thanks for all the tips as I have plans to return to Germany to discover more WWII and the holocaust history. You seem to know Amsterdam and Germany very well. May I ask where are you from and what’s your ancestry? I’m Asian American from Florida by the way. I’m very happy to know we share the same interest in history.
Hi Dan, thanks for watching and commenting. Dachau and Mauthausen will be next on my lists of what to see in Germany.
They should rebuild one of the barracks, or at least half of it to give visitors a sense of what the camp must have looked like full of them.
@Clair Waycaush I couldn’t agree more. I thought the same when I walked through the camp. Visitors need more visualization.
Hi lily, you responded to a comment I made earlier in a different video regarding that foolish man upsetting the Japanese. Anyway, this is some interesting content. I don't think I could stomach going to such places like these concentration/death camps, it is too terrible a reminder how evil we can be.
The victims of German cruelty are now in a much better world.
We hope so
Hi Juju Rellama. I hope so too. May God rest their souls and may they be as peace. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Too sorrowful to bear! J. Hi Lilly I appreciate your reply. The Death Camps were horrifying especially so as they were so very recent to current time.
Janine Skywalker it was very poignant walking through the camp even after all this time. May their souls rest in peace. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Kind of hard to wrap your head around the fact that this place and others like it were in full operation not even 80 yrs ago, or within an average lifespan. Educating future generations must remain accurate and complete concerning the history and tragedy of mankind.
Dave F. Hi there, thanks for stopping by. Yes, we must make sure these atrocities must never be repeated and educating our youngsters is the key. I have always love history and yours as well as others’ interests in my video really inspired me to do more.
@@lilylovesitaly3932 Thank you, and please keep bringing us the videos.
I find the pictures incredible
Lim Morell thanks for watching and commenting. It was incredibly poignant walking through the camp imagining what tortures they must have endured before they perished.
Good video, but you could've left the texts up a bit longer.
Thanks so much for your suggestions. I’m new at content making and am still have much to learn. I will definitely improve in the long run. Once again, I really appreciated your suggestions.
gracias por video

I couldn’t stop crying.
Serafili Rose it was very poignant walking through the camp imagining what they had to endure. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hi there, thanks for watching and commenting on the videos. It inspires me to work harder on making better videos.
Why the pink x on some fences
It is against a mass animal farm directly in the village next to it. (Against a mass egg fabric) - an Initiative from the locals. / Nothing to do with the KZ. :)
@@2jeremylee Hi there. Thanks so much for replying to the above comment. I’m definitely learning something I didn’t know before. Much appreciated your response.🙂

That's not Einstein's quote.
And you know it.
Hi, according to the majority of sources I found on the internet, this quote is credited to Albert Einstein. That’s said, there are a few other sources which said this quote isn’t his. It’s hard to know for sure so I’m gonna go with the majority. But that’s not even the point. The point is I identify myself as a free spirited, independent woman and this quote perfect describes who I am. That’s the whole reason I decided to use the quote in my videos.
I got to one minute 30. Only steps.
I understand the beginning might be a little too long for some viewers and I can see how someone might lose interest but I have a reason behind it. I want to show the street where the Jewish prisoners marched to the camp. As I stated in the video, most of those houses dated back to the 1930’s, which is when the camp was built.
Should people wish to visit German Camp sites, they are often closed on Mondays. Remember also the Russians used these camps for many years, post War in their sector
Hi David. Thanks for the info.🙂 I will keep this in mind as I’d like to come back to Germany to visit more concentration camps.
Russia liberated Ausschwitz. What are u writing abt ?
Two minutes into the video and all I see are houses 🏘️. Where's the camp?👎
Hi Jerry. 3:30 is the time stamp for the camp. As I stated in the video, the prisoners marched the same street to the camp and those houses were built before the construction of the camp. Every story has a beginning, middle and end and that’s what I want to show to my audience. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thank you for sharing this video, this is the first time I’ve ever seen drawings from the prisoners, they say so much, very powerful, does anyone know if any other death camps had drawings x
Disco_opp420 thanks for watching and taking the time to write a comment. The drawings are very powerful indeed.
The pearl of Nazi fascists 😮
