Seeing these people just living their lives unaware of the horrors history had in store for them. Your heart breaks watching those faces from so far away in time yet never forgotten. Rest in eternal peace
These short films of Jewish folks living in Europe before the beginning of WWII are priceless, they're evidence of lives full of love and happiness that got tore down by sick minds and hearts full of hate. Thanks for taking the time to upload these mini documentaries and share with the rest of the world a piece of history.
I am viewing this at a time that human beings are dying every day in Gaza and southern Lebanon due to the insane need for vengeance of certain governments. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

@@lumpfish99Nazi Germany (the Austrian corporal Hitler) first took Austria in the name of German Dualism, then the Sudetenland, then Poland. What are you talking about?
I ended up here due to research and I felt I had to leave a comment. Sometimes, with academic distance, or even just the distance of time, you can be aware of the horror of this event but without really feeling it. You can kid yourself that it was so far off it could never happen again, and that humans could never be so cruel and barbaric today, but watching this footage has stunned and disturbed me, because in these images all distance becomes invisible. I'm glad this footage exists to document these people and families, and I feel privileged to have been able to view it, this window into lives that did not know how things would change. Thank you for the resource. It is not the barbaric murderers we ought to know the faces of, it's of their many victims. I will think about this often. Thank you.
To see the people so happy and vibrant and just living life brings smiles but to know the fate awaiting them is heart wrenching. Honestly I can’t finish watching it because I can’t stop crying. RIP dear ones and children.
Why do bad things happen to innocent people while nothing happens to evil people who cause trouble. Hitler deserved to be sent and imprisioned in one of his own concentration camps that he created.
To think they were killed because Hitler was cheated by a jewish girl 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 ooh i hate society, this also was misoginist before misoginy be something! 😭
yes iris i know i know, its unbelievable what happened i think about the holocaust every single day, thinking how could the world let it happen, im someone who is depressed and rarely smile, but after watching this documentary and seeing these people smiling walking around i am going to try and smile much more myself in my life, even though im a poor cab driver who struggles to make a buck i will try and improve my life and not be so depressed all the time, now the world should know why the chosen people need israel and nukes so this tragedy never happens to them again, and so they can defend themselves from the evil that is still around us all the time, under the surface only waiting to strike.
None of these people really anticipated that their faces would be seen and remembered in 2021, and I’m sure they wouldn’t have ever thought that this video would be so significant due to something as awful and evil as the Holocaust. Remember their faces, may they rest in paradise and peace.
Whenever I have the chance to pass through a predominantly Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn I love to watch the parents and their children on the way to a synagogue. It's the best thing that they can do,to help continue their religious traditions that had been taken away from so many during the Holocaust. Through my grandmother I am of the descent that made life a horrific existence for so many millions of innocent men, women and children. As a child I was told never to talk about my grandmother's background as we did live in a partially Jewish neighborhood. My friends were of all different backgrounds. In my home we were never taught to hate others.Thank God for the grandparents and parents that we had.
im english born in 1941 i was brought up with jews who live near me in central london iv worked with them and for them most are a good if i had a choice il vote for them
It's positive to hear that you appreciate and respect the efforts of parents and children in a Jewish neighborhood to maintain their religious traditions. Supporting and preserving cultural and religious practices can indeed be an important way to honor and remember the history and resilience of a community. It's also encouraging to hear that in your upbringing, you were not taught to hate others and had friends from diverse backgrounds. Embracing diversity and promoting understanding among different cultures and religions is essential for fostering a harmonious society. However, it's important to acknowledge the historical context and the atrocities committed during the Holocaust. While you mention that your grandmother was of a background that played a role in the suffering of millions, it's crucial to remember that individuals are responsible for their own actions, and it's not fair to hold present generations accountable for the sins of their ancestors.🦒🦄🦓
A gentile from Poland here. Thank you for putting together this great footage. It shows vividly how the communities which were subsequently murdered by Germans lived. It also underscores differences between Polish Jews, Soviet Jews and Western European Jews before the war. A higher percentage of Orthodox and Ultra-Orthodox Jews in Poland, fashionably dressed better-integrated Jews in the West and life under the Communism. The document is touching and of enormous value.
@Kelley McFadden Your comment is not relevant to the topic. How dare you peddle religion in the context of the atrocity? Or perhaps you're implying they were of an errant faith? Either way, you're inadvertently endorsing "right" vs "wrong" and it's insensitive and callous. Enjoy your "eternity". Your "expertise" is out of place here.
It breaks my heart how everyone seem so happy not knowing of the horrors soon to come. Most especially those beautiful children. What an amazing video !!! "The meek will inherit the earth and they will live in it forever" psalms 37... God has seen their suffering and will not forget these sweet people....
This video - although historically significant - is beyond sad and tragic. Such beautiful, innocent people just living their lives ignorant of the horrors to come. The senselessness of what occured soon after is beyond comprehension. May all those poor people - men, women, children, elderly - rest in peace in God's loving embrace🙏.
@@Madmen604 Yes, they were. They were very smart though. Just think if they had turned all that talent towards good and not evil. How better the world would be. The war was a total waste of humanity on all sides. Over 800,000 German soldiers lost their lives in the battle of Stalingrad alone. This is not counting all the lives lost on the allies sides and Holocaust (including Roma, disabled people, homosexuals, people against the regime in any way including those in the military, arts, politics, etc.). Just a horrible and unnecessary waste. I'm not even touching on the horrendous suffering and trauma. There are no words, really.
Yes i agree with you its to sad to kill people for their ethnicity And also is very sad to take the Palestinians from their land and give this land to these Jewish people who were tortured in Europe
Most of them were very poor. I am surprise to hear those who hate the Jewish people think that most Jews are millionaires. I see this film and it brakes my heart. Thank you for this video.
@@katatoth1983 that's not true. the rich ones were very assimilated to the local society and refused to believe that anything bad will happen to them. Very few were smart to at least send the children away.

Don't you wonder sometimes why these people in the film stayed while yours and my and so many others escaped to America before 1925 or so? I do, anyway.
@@hannahisrael7562 before WWI, people who escaped the america did it -most of them- because the bad conditions of the low class and not war (even tho there were speculations of a war). maybe those who stayed in europe didn't have a bad economy or maybe it was imposible to them escape (bc it not that easy to leave ur family and start a new life in a complete new continent)
Many Jews that left before WWII left because of the pogroms that swept shtetls in Eastern Europe in the early 20th century. It’s why my family left Poland in the 1910s. Most of the families recorded here are either from bigger cities or more western parts of Europe, so they had less reason to leave, but even those who wished to leave may have been unable to afford the cost of travel and immigration.
These are some of the most important and valuable films of our times in my opinion. Such a powerful impression these intimate and beautiful moments have, I have been blown away. Thank you to all those sharing these personal stories with us.
@Robin Hylands Just imagine. Many innocent people robbed of livlihoods, all b/c they made the mistake of putting the worst political leader on that ballot. One man's hate is more contagious than any deadly virus. Hate isn't a virus....but it spreads rapidly like one.
But despite their tragic history why is it that the Jews of Israel are not able to understand human suffering the greatest example being the Palestinian people who are being so brutally oppressed by the state of Israel. This is indeed a situation of enormous contradiction, hypocrisy and an intriguing paradox.
@@raziashraf6209 Even the other Arab nations, don't want the Palestinians, and the Jews, are the original Palestinians, because it was their land when the Romans renamed it to Palestine.

Today's China, Birma,... - with their own respective (marginalized) prosecuted and radically 'hunted' (religious) minorities - ought to remember WELL(!) their history lessons from school AND thus history itself, in order NOT to (dramatically, horribly!) REPEAT it!!! 🕊🌍
Wow, these films are making me very emotional. I wonder why I never looked for something like this before on RUclips. I'm very thankful for your channel offering this.
"Not knowing what would become of them". Take your induced pity and shove it. Read and digest Ze'ev Jabotinsky's speeches to Jews in Warsaw in 1938. Describes in accurate detail their future fate. UK Government starts to borrow for war in 1936. French build useless Maginot line in 1930's. Instead of learning how to turn metal on lathe, press cartridges, mix gunpowder etc., Jews were telephoning their (omnipotent?) God. Wasn't in.
@@truecinnamon Romans 11:34 Who can fathom the mind of the Lord? Or who can claim to be His advisor? God loves his people. Humans can kill the body but the soul lives forever! All glory, honor and praise to the omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresence God of Israel!! Would Israel exist today without the horrors that galvanized the Jews and other nations to actively reclaim Israel’s ancestral homeland?
This is amazing! The people were living happy normal lives! It is so criminal how the Nazis ruined so many lives and took so many innocent lives. I'm glad this film exists.
The people in Palestine were living happy normal lives! It is so criminal how the Zionists ruined so many lives and exiled so many families from their land.
@@c0olc0olman30 how dare you compare the systematic murder of 7 million Jews to what’s going on now. I’m genuinely sorry some Palestinians are hurt or dead. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. But as long as you let a terrorist organization launch rockets into another countries populated areas, what do you think will happen? The Jewish people are still being told they don’t even have a right to exist. Did you know the niece of the leader of Hamas is being medically treated in an Israeli hospital? Palestinians are getting millions in aid, and it goes to corrupt groups, not the people who need it. As long as Hamas is in charge, nothing will change. They do not want peace.
And then your remember that the founders only sold it for $1 billion. I dont know what to feel if I were them. Facebook Twitter all that, those are not guaranteed to be used by people in the future. But youtube? RUclips has no competition
It is so UNFAIR that these happy, innocent people were robbed of their basic human rights, cheated out of their homes and made to live like animals all because of the atrocity of a single person, supported by the silence of many. May Hitler's soul rot in hell. But most importantly, may we never forget that Hitler was a human being like the rest of us, and in our hearts all of us have the capacity to turn into heartless fiends like him, should we let go of our compassion and give into hatred. Stop another Hitler from rising to power anywhere in the world. It is a debt we owe all humanity.
It's unfair that they rule the entire world government and force us experimental vaccines and forces us to wear mask and not be allowed to go to church. Yea poor poor people
I visited Babi Yar in Kiev, Ukraine and Maly Trostonets in Minsk, Belarus. Thousands were killed in both sites. Both locations are heart wrenching to visit.
@@رزانالشمري-ه8ص If you’re referring to Israel, that doesn’t pertain to ALL Jews. There are many in that country, but there are many Jewish folk elsewhere! It’s like saying “all white people” or “all black people”. It’s not fair to group everyone of a certain ethnicity or religion like that! Not every Jewish person is good, and not every Jewish person is bad. There is good and bad everywhere you look!
@@antoanetaanastasova3946 That is a lie. The Jews to this day strive to live in peace with their neighbors. They are not responsible for the violence continually instigated by the people group who call themselves palestinians.
My mother was Jewish, that means that I am Jewish..I am an atheist, do not follow dietary rules and have no intention of attending Synagogue...BUT I AM JEWISH it is something deep down in my being something that I cannot explain❤❤❤❤❤
My brother-in-law was brought up Jewish but is not a practicing Jew. My sister, who is married to him, was brought up Christian but is not a practicing Christian. They exposed their daughter to both religions while she was growing up. Their daughter, now in her 30s, is not religious (as far as I know) but she knows that antisemitism continues to exist in the cultural DNA around the world and for that reason decided to not get her DNA to learn of her ethnic ancestry because the record of the results would exist on the company’s records. As you indicated, “I AM JEWISH”, so with my niece. In the back of her mind/heart is the weight of the knowledge of the Holocaust and the awareness of groups in the U.S. and around the world still promoting antisemitism, and concern for what could happen in the future. Yes, in the 1930s, everything was fine/normal….until it wasn’t. 😥😡😥
thanks for posting these home movies,happy times,before destruction and misery.WW2 was a terrible event.Its painful to know that misery fell upon everyone in these films.Everyone seems happy exspecially the younger ones.
'I was in Germany before [World War 2], and let me tell you, the same thing could happen here in America if the subject of moral issues is not permitted to enter the public schools.' - R' Menahem Mendel Schneerson.
All I see are wonderful happy people who have always worked well and integrated where ever they live. My dealings with Jewish people throughout my life have always been good. God Bless them.
And 2 out of 3 people only survived b/c they went into hiding in small cramped corners, attics, and sewers isolated from the world all with the risk of good kind-hearted Germans getting caught helping them and being arrested.
When we speak of the evil Nazis, too often we fail to realize that the Nazis were normal people in an evil situation. It could happen again, and it HAS happened with different people in different places. Hatred cannot be allowed to prosper. These videos are priceless. Thanks for posting.
@Teresa Burton They were brainwashed. Some of those Nazi's were born not too long after Hitler took power and brainwashed them into thinking that people different from them were bad. Just like how racist white kids aren't born with hate but are taught horrible values from their parents. Nazi's were taught horrible values from people.
No, that is not true. The Nazis were people who were raised with a dislike for Jews, and were surrounded by neighbours, friends, and a larger community that detested Jews, who had no problem whatsoever slandering them and laughing about them. It was a sickness all through European society. They were not "normal" people. They were highly prejudiced and seriously considered the Jews to be greedy and a lower form of human being, and often excused this hatred by saying the Jews killed Jesus.
It's understandable in a sense that society is beginning to want to forget what happened to the Jews, even to the point of denial that it happened now nearly 100 yrs later. It's not an easy thing to wrap your mind around that degree of horror. It is even more critical now that we do NOT ever let society forget. Films like these are priceless.
These short films are completely new to me although I can see from the comments that they have been shown on RUclips at least once before. They are a precious resource for seeing the lives and homes of so many people who are gone forever.
This film just shines a whole other light on to the holocaust. I'm actually devastated for these beautiful, innocent people. I applaud the work your organisation is doing, you're amazing.
I never understood why Jewish people are/were so ostracized. Most jewish people I've met/ known have been very intelligent, interesting, gifted, good looking people... Some of my favorite people I've ever met have been Jewish. Where did the hatred even come from?
This is a great learning opportunity to say the least! I can remember my Grandmother telling me about some Germans who left after Hitler became Chancellor. They farmed alongside one another here in Tennessee. I don’t know for sure if they were Jewish but they left their home and possessions behind and cursed Hitler all the time. It’s still so hard to comprehend how it could have happened.
The holocaust was a horrible time in history for BOTH sides! Yes! They Jews were treated terribly but it also turned the once kind hearted and innocent Germans into Nazi's who were brainwashed to hate. I watched a version of Anne Frank's story. In one scene, a former German friend and classmate was talking to them and her mother angrily yelled at her to stop taking to Jewish girls. That was the last time Anne would ever see her friend again😕
My God three months or so before the Soviet/German invasion. Thank you for this post...it's chilling to think these people, by all accounts, only had months to live.
Truly heartbreaking. These are just ordinary people living ordinary lives - the smiles of the young people, the children and families, it’s so important to keep their memories alive. They never deserved such cruelty and it cannot ever be forgotten. May they Rest In Peace.
The number of Jewish people who died is profound but so is the number of Russian soldiers and British Commonwealth soldiers and American soldiers who gave their lives to stop the Nazis. WWII is a story of death.
It’s heartbreaking to see these people, some could be my relatives, at the least fellow Jews living normal lives not knowing the Hell on earth that awaited them under Nazi rule.
It depends on where they lived. The Jews in Germany and in most areas east of Germany had much higher rates of death then the Jews in Western Europe. Jews in the Soviet Union territories that were taking over by the Nazis faired the worst.
@@NewHandleToHideName Before the war there were almost 139.000 Dutch Jews in the Netherlands ( Plus 25,000 German Jews who fled Germany) and after the war there were barely 15 thousand left. The Netherlands is located in Western Europe
Thank you for sharing this remarkable footage. My father's side if my family are from Belgium. They had to flee from Brussels and safely made it to New York City. Dad fought with the US Army. Watching this footage is very moving to me. So many beautiful innocent people going through their lives. My heart breaks. 🙏🏼🪴
At 17:42 it mentions the man who came to Akron, Ohio and established a photography studio. I grew up there 1949 -1969 and wonder how many of my schoolmates were from families from Europe. We didn't talk about WWII even though four uncle's were in the Armed Forces then. I wish I could talk to them now to ask many questions. So glad to know this man's family escaped the horrors. Thank you for posting this. God bless these innocent people. 🙏
A moving yet tragic series of amateur photography. May these videos remind us that "man's inhumanity to man makes countless millions mourn " Thank you from Ireland 🇮🇪
Beautiful display of footages yet so tragic. This is a part of history we wished that never happened but there it is, despite 80 years. This should be never forgotten.
Whenever I try to imagine WWII , I see a mother with her 6 year old daughter getting on the boxcar . It's cold . The child says it has to pee and is hungry. The mother must have known what was about to happen .
This is heartbreaking,seeing the families playing like we all do, and the kids innocent and just being protected by there mums and dads. The little one putting his hand out like little ones do and mum stroking his head. Horrific to think the demonic Nazis ripped their lives apart in the death camps, the terror is unimaginable
Critical to your survival to the point you forcefully displace Palestinians from their homes? And kill men, women and children to make room for your survival? Unacceptable.
all human kind are the same. we must forget hatred and be tolerant and love each other. i always say peace is the unique way to live in hapiness. jews live in Morocco in peace with muslims: no discrimination nor hatred. they are ouer brothers and sisters. my great love from Marrakech Morocco.
To see the kids in school and know all the amnosiy going on and what was about to happen to these poor souls. we must never let something like that happen again ❤️
@@daddyCoool28 Not everyone hates each other, talk for yourself. Secondly, it isn't hate that's the problem. It is the shallowness of so many people today who just follow along with all kinds of stupidity. Without conviction, you have no morals. Without any morals, anything can happen!
They certainly couldn't imagine that decades later their smiles, faces and daily life would have been seen by so many. May their memory be a blessing 🙏
These good people, children had loving families, cosy homes, security, and then were inhumanely rooted out and murdered in the most horrific circumstances. Bless you all and RIP, the innocents🙏🙏🙏🙏
the film retrieved "from an acquaintance who safeguarded the family's possessions". I am sure there were many people who stepped in and performed these small generous acts and we should remember them even if we do not know their names.
Brilliant footage along with full commentary with names, dates and places..I totally enjoyed this and condolences to families who lost relatives during Nazi occupation..Lets not make the same mistakes again.
I am a Christian and send my condolences to all these families. The loss of all these innocents is appalling.I encourage all to listen to the shoah testomonies . Never again please God
This is amazing footage - really brings home the fact ordinary people going about their lives were on the brink of disaster - how innocent they were - I can't express how much it saddens me to see this - really brings them to life and hits home - how could anyone do this to people and think that this is ok? It's truly frightening.
its al about the ignorance of the masses ,and certain groups or dictators ,taking advantage of their ignorance to take total controlthis is why one of the first things the germans did was burn booksthis is like some leaders today restricting and banning internet for their peopleyou are a fine woman Mary Elwood your heart is pure
al bundy....I'm glad you see it they way I do, it was only 70 years ago, in history, that time line is nothing. I'd like to think the world has evolved a bit since then and we are on the constant lookout for these dangerous signs and nip them in the bud before they get out of hand....the world just cannot ever let this sort of calculated, premeditated, planned murder and on a factory scale ever happen again. We must all learn from this and never, ever forget it.....thankyou for your compliment, but I think any decent human being will see it this way
a up and shalom to you all from north Yorkshire England .and to my beautiful people and to the ones that never made it back God bless you all .. and to England for giving my grate grandfather Shimon marchstine and my beautiful grate grandmother Anne for giving them a safe passage to this country we bless you all and we will never truly forget your kindness and generosity you all shown to them last of to my beautiful queen and beautiful country amen
I loved all of the faces being photographed in the villages and towns. Such vibrant, friendly, intelligent , and interesting humans. The worst tragedy of the last century. Who would ever dream of the horror that would be faced - a whole new level of evil. They were such rational intelligent people -they couldn't fathom that level of hate and insanity, so they thought the best . Sadly they were mistaken.
Thank you so much for posting this. It is good to see that there are young people today who are taking the time to teach others about this horrible chapter of history. Maybe if enough people see, it will make a difference in the world today, and help put a stop to the genocide that still goes on as we watch. Good job! I will share!
Hopefully they will find footage of some of the 12 to 20 million russian Christians who were genocided and their churches and cultures destroyed by the jewish russian government .
For my entire life I’ve wondered why did the Germans hate the Jews so much. This is the first time I’ve ever seen films like this; they were very enlightening to me. I live in Los Angeles, there is a fairly large Orthodox Jewish community right around the corner. The Jews in my neighborhood in 2021 LA look very similar to the Jewish folks in the films, black long over coat, a tall hat & long bushy beard with beautiful curls on each side of their head. Even here in LA there is division. The Orthodox Jews seems to shy away from the community. Their kids don’t go to public school & are not allowed to go to college. You will never see them at community events or gatherings. I don’t know why the division exist but it does.
Jealousy. We have a set of values that breeds success in the modern world. They didn't, and thought that being poor was somehow a testament to their demigod Christ. We got it right and they were simply jealous. They were so stupid that they even forgot the origin of their faith--it came from US. They screwed it up with their Germanic pagan stuff though.
It's no different from other insular communities. There are many sects of Judaism that are much more integrated. Also given their history, perhaps they dont feel safe doing so.

Yes, they were. They were very smart though. Just think if they had turned all that talent towards good and not evil. How better the world would be. The war was a total waste of humanity on all sides. Over 800,000 German soldiers lost their lives in the battle of Stalingrad alone. This is not counting all the lives lost on the allies sides and Holocaust (including Roma, disabled people, homosexuals, people against the regime in any way including those in the military, arts, politics, etc.). Just a horrible and unnecessary waste. I'm not even touching on the horrendous suffering and trauma. There are no words, really.
Yes i agree with you its to sad to kill people for their ethnicity
And also is very sad to take the Palestinians from their land and give this land to these Jewish people who were tortured in Europe
Most of them were very poor. I am surprise to hear those who hate the Jewish people think that most Jews are millionaires. I see this film and it brakes my heart. Thank you for this video.

Don't you wonder sometimes why these people in the film stayed while yours and my and so many others escaped to America before 1925 or so? I do, anyway.
@@hannahisrael7562 before WWI, people who escaped the america did it -most of them- because the bad conditions of the low class and not war (even tho there were speculations of a war). maybe those who stayed in europe didn't have a bad economy or maybe it was imposible to them escape (bc it not that easy to leave ur family and start a new life in a complete new continent)
Many Jews that left before WWII left because of the pogroms that swept shtetls in Eastern Europe in the early 20th century. It’s why my family left Poland in the 1910s. Most of the families recorded here are either from bigger cities or more western parts of Europe, so they had less reason to leave, but even those who wished to leave may have been unable to afford the cost of travel and immigration.
These are some of the most important and valuable films of our times in my opinion. Such a powerful impression these intimate and beautiful moments have, I have been blown away. Thank you to all those sharing these personal stories with us.

Just imagine. Many innocent people robbed of livlihoods, all b/c they made the mistake of putting the worst political leader on that ballot.
One man's hate is more contagious than any deadly virus. Hate isn't a virus....but it spreads rapidly like one.
But despite their tragic history why is it that the Jews of Israel are not able to understand human suffering the greatest example being the Palestinian people who are being so brutally oppressed by the state of Israel. This is indeed a situation of enormous contradiction, hypocrisy and an intriguing paradox.
@@raziashraf6209 Even the other Arab nations, don't want the Palestinians, and the Jews, are the original Palestinians, because it was their land when the Romans renamed it to Palestine.

Yes, they are so happy and relaxed. I've never seen a group of uniformly joyful jews at shul or any other gathering.
And their reliance on a DDB GOD that they believed in.
"Not knowing what would become of them". Take your induced pity and shove it. Read and digest Ze'ev Jabotinsky's speeches to Jews in Warsaw in 1938. Describes in accurate detail their future fate. UK Government starts to borrow for war in 1936. French build useless Maginot line in 1930's. Instead of learning how to turn metal on lathe, press cartridges, mix gunpowder etc., Jews were telephoning their (omnipotent?) God. Wasn't in.

May Hitler's soul rot in hell. But most importantly, may we never forget that Hitler was a human being like the rest of us, and in our hearts all of us have the capacity to turn into heartless fiends like him, should we let go of our compassion and give into hatred. Stop another Hitler from rising to power anywhere in the world. It is a debt we owe all humanity.
It's unfair that they rule the entire world government and force us experimental vaccines and forces us to wear mask and not be allowed to go to church. Yea poor poor people

My brother-in-law was brought up Jewish but is not a practicing Jew. My sister, who is married to him, was brought up Christian but is not a practicing Christian. They exposed their daughter to both religions while she was growing up. Their daughter, now in her 30s, is not religious (as far as I know) but she knows that antisemitism continues to exist in the cultural DNA around the world and for that reason decided to not get her DNA to learn of her ethnic ancestry because the record of the results would exist on the company’s records. As you indicated, “I AM JEWISH”, so with my niece. In the back of her mind/heart is the weight of the knowledge of the Holocaust and the awareness of groups in the U.S. and around the world still promoting antisemitism, and concern for what could happen in the future. Yes, in the 1930s, everything was fine/normal….until it wasn’t. 😥😡😥

Thank you to the family for making this film available to the public.
And 2 out of 3 people only survived b/c they went into hiding in small cramped corners, attics, and sewers isolated from the world all with the risk of good kind-hearted Germans getting caught helping them and being arrested.
And that's average across all of Europe. In Poland and Lithuania it was 90%.

When we speak of the evil Nazis, too often we fail to realize that the Nazis were normal people in an evil situation. It could happen again, and it HAS happened with different people in different places. Hatred cannot be allowed to prosper. These videos are priceless. Thanks for posting.
@Teresa Burton
They were brainwashed. Some of those Nazi's were born not too long after Hitler took power and brainwashed them into thinking that people different from them were bad. Just like how racist white kids aren't born with hate but are taught horrible values from their parents. Nazi's were taught horrible values from people.
Very True !
Ultimately each person is responsible for their own actions and deeds. All it takes for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing.
Very true facts
No, that is not true. The Nazis were people who were raised with a dislike for Jews, and were surrounded by neighbours, friends, and a larger community that detested Jews, who had no problem whatsoever slandering them and laughing about them. It was a sickness all through European society. They were not "normal" people. They were highly prejudiced and seriously considered the Jews to be greedy and a lower form of human being, and often excused this hatred by saying the Jews killed Jesus.
These should be the type of videos with dozens of millions of views
It's understandable in a sense that society is beginning to want to forget what happened to the Jews, even to the point of denial that it happened now nearly 100 yrs later. It's not an easy thing to wrap your mind around that degree of horror. It is even more critical now that we do NOT ever let society forget. Films like these are priceless.
These short films are completely new to me although I can see from the comments that they have been shown on RUclips at least once before. They are a precious resource for seeing the lives and homes of so many people who are gone forever.
This film just shines a whole other light on to the holocaust. I'm actually devastated for these beautiful, innocent people. I applaud the work your organisation is doing, you're amazing.
I never understood why Jewish people are/were so ostracized. Most jewish people I've met/ known have been very intelligent, interesting, gifted, good looking people... Some of my favorite people I've ever met have been Jewish. Where did the hatred even come from?
it came Jealousy.
It's a very complex issue that can't be answered in a RUclips post, whole books have been written about it
They were too intelligent !! Germans were scared of them. They feared that Jews would overtake them.
This is a great learning opportunity to say the least! I can remember my Grandmother telling me about some Germans who left after Hitler became Chancellor. They farmed alongside one another here in Tennessee. I don’t know for sure if they were Jewish but they left their home and possessions behind and cursed Hitler all the time. It’s still so hard to comprehend how it could have happened.
Every day I remember their suffering and cry in my heart for them and their innocent kids.

Truly heartbreaking. These are just ordinary people living ordinary lives - the smiles of the young people, the children and families, it’s so important to keep their memories alive. They never deserved such cruelty and it cannot ever be forgotten. May they Rest In Peace.
What an absolute gem of a video. I am glad I've discovered this channel.
The number of Jewish people who died is profound but so is the number of Russian soldiers and British Commonwealth soldiers and American soldiers who gave their lives to stop the Nazis. WWII is a story of death.

It depends on where they lived. The Jews in Germany and in most areas east of Germany had much higher rates of death then the Jews in Western Europe. Jews in the Soviet Union territories that were taking over by the Nazis faired the worst.

Whenever I try to imagine WWII , I see a mother with her 6 year old daughter getting on the boxcar . It's cold . The child says it has to pee and is hungry. The mother must have known what was about to happen .
This is heartbreaking,seeing the families playing like we all do, and the kids innocent and just being protected by there mums and dads. The little one putting his hand out like little ones do and mum stroking his head. Horrific to think the demonic Nazis ripped their lives apart in the death camps, the terror is unimaginable
Just brings home the point that Israel is critical to our survival. Never going to leave either. We live on and we are here to stay.

It's truly frightening.

For my entire life I’ve wondered why did the Germans hate the Jews so much. This is the first time I’ve ever seen films like this; they were very enlightening to me. I live in Los Angeles, there is a fairly large Orthodox Jewish community right around the corner. The Jews in my neighborhood in 2021 LA look very similar to the Jewish folks in the films, black long over coat, a tall hat & long bushy beard with beautiful curls on each side of their head. Even here in LA there is division. The Orthodox Jews seems to shy away from the community. Their kids don’t go to public school & are not allowed to go to college. You will never see them at community events or gatherings. I don’t know why the division exist but it does.
You seem willfully ignorant to investigate further. Preferring emotion to the unknown
Jealousy. We have a set of values that breeds success in the modern world. They didn't, and thought that being poor was somehow a testament to their demigod Christ. We got it right and they were simply jealous. They were so stupid that they even forgot the origin of their faith--it came from US. They screwed it up with their Germanic pagan stuff though.
It's no different from other insular communities. There are many sects of Judaism that are much more integrated. Also given their history, perhaps they dont feel safe doing so.
