That brought it all back to me from when I visited Auschwitz last year. It's not a place that you should want to go to, it's a place that you need to go to. Before I went I didn't realise the scale of evil which took place there. Even after my visit it took me several hours to try to comprehend it. It's such an emotional place that I will never forget.
@@ItsAsweetbarbzlife4us a few people go to the gate and then turn around! It’s a horrible place but one I feel has to be seen so no one forgets about the evil that happened there
@@DanUnplanned I always wanted to go for the same reason I feel like it’s a huge part of history and people need to see what those people had to endure I respect the fact that you went and shared it with us thank you well done video
I visited this hallowed ground three weeks ago. It is life-changing. I went with my teenage grandsons. It was a sobering effect for all of us. I did notice something that archaeologists on site have also noticed.... There are trees and grass but no birds, no squirrels anywhere.
I am Jewish and live in the United States. After everybody pointed out that the October 7th Massacre was the largest killing of Jews since the Holocaust, I felt compelled to go to Poland in January 2024. Despite learning about the Holocaust in school, nothing can adequately prepare you for the Auschwitz-Birkenau experience, even though I have been to Yad Vashem and other Holocaust Memorials. May all of the victims souls be raised to heaven! Thank you for this video! Brought me back memories from my trip. Never Again!!!
I watched so many documentaries over the years and your right nothing prepares you for that first step inside! Truly heartbreaking! I can’t believe anyone would treat another person that way! Tragic! Thank you for watching Very kind words
You don't have to be Jewish to go. It is a memorable and impactful experience no matter what your religion or background is, as long as you have a soul.
Thank you for sharing Dan. This is a place I must visit. My heart breaks for those precious souls. It is important to learn about what happened and to keep these people in our hearts and memories. Much love ❤
I’ve just recently done this tour of Auschwitz myself,hard to describe the feeling being there,I don’t whether surreal is the correct word,but it certainly hit me and made me think being there, I think what hit me most is when the tour guide said,”This tour your on will last about 3 hours,which is far longer than a lot of people were here”,plus the tour guide took us into the same barrack Dan enters at 14:05at Birkenau ,(its on the furthest away on the front row on the left from when you enter),when looking out of the window,I as thinking it’s only about 60 yards to freedom,so close,not even 1 minutes walk,but of course it would have been more or less impossible to escape due to the high electrified fence and guard towers.
As you said mate, it’s heartbreaking isn’t it. Visiting places like this is a must so that we never forget what happened. There’s a camp / museum not far from Gdańsk which is definitely worth visiting too.
Shocking mate! Can’t believe the size and scale of the crimes that happened at that place! It is a must visit tho! I don’t think anyone could leave that place and not feel something! I stood in the middle of the site and just thought how terrible it must of been! I was just worried about putting this out originally! But it needs to be seen to be believed mate!
Ii did exactly the same tour at Auchwitz Birkenau....words can't describe the atmosphere in both camps ... I intend to go back , it's so vast you don't take everything in...absolutely heartbreaking!
@@DanUnplanned Ever Looked Into The History Of The INSANE Battle Of Budapest? That Place LITERALLY Is 3 Hours From Auschwitz And SOMEHOW They Managed To PROTECT IT From And YES Its Actually South Of Poland And The Story Is CRAAAZYYYY
I went to Auschwitz in 2012 and you couldn't film or take any photos at all I'm glad that's changed when I was going around the huts I was physically moved and I don't mind saying I had tears coming down my face. My late grandfather was a Special Forces Commando during WW2 he liberated Dachau and I'm sure that affected him but he never talked about it. It was my Late Grandmother who told me about his wartime experiences.
I visited Auschwitz in early 2023. As I walked around I tried to picture the events that took place where I was walking just over 80 years previously but still just about in living memory. I found it hard to comprehend the horrific treatment of the victims, the almost minute by minute battle to stay alive and the sheer scale of the murder. Before the war I could imagine the area was untainted and nice and Auschwitz just a normal Polish army barracks. At the end of the tour our guide said "if it could happen here, it could happen anywhere". That really struck with me, she's right. This could happen again in different circumstances somewhere else in the world.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I almost forgot to breathe, because towards the end, I took a big deep breath. And to think that all those people had normal lives before coming here. Hellish.
There was a few tourists outside taking selfies on the train tracks throwing up peace signs, I just couldn’t get over the feeling of inside! How anyone could do that to another person
@@DanUnplanned schindler was an abwehra agent and helped germans with invasiin of Poland ,he was a bandit criminal and thief. Schindlerd museum is a propaganda center as well as all those holocaust museum.
You mean Schindler’s where supposedly not one working piece of ammunition was made during the entire WWII, but the Germans didn’t confront Schindler or figure out all of his ammunition made at his factory was useless.
Thanks for posting this. By pure co-incidence i watched "Schindlers List" a few days ago which left me traumatised & will be for some time. What these Germans did to these innoncent people is impossible to understand how cruel a human can be to another. It looked like a strong, disturbing tour to take. What was going on with someone always putting a green torch on you every now & again.
I saw that film in the cinema when it came out. So powerful. My friend and I tried to go for a drink afterwards but we just sat in silence. Just incomprehensible.
I see enough with videos quite frankly and as far as I'm concerned that's how the ground is sacred to the people that went to the atrocities they did and I myself could never go there it would just be too hard to do that but the videos let me know plenty and I've done a lot of studying over the years about all of this as well never forget ever never ever ever forget
Thank you for your clip. One of my last wishes on this earth was to visit Auschwitz Birkenau Nazi Concentration Camp to pay my respects to all that were tortured and died in this camp, but because I have agoraphobia I would find this impossible, So may I thank you for your visit there are I can watch this on RUclips.
@@Robby334 thank you for your kind words! It was such a moving experience! I advise anyone who can to visit! It’s a chilling reminder of something we can never repeat
Such a horrible and sad place! I feel so sorry for all the people who died there because of a maniac. I pray that this never happens again . This unthinkable monstrosity could happen again is we are not careful. History repeats itself but I pray not this time or way😢
I am a Jew. I’ve watched every documentary film and video about Auschwitz I could find because I feel it’s my duty to do so. For what it’s worth, I have two comments. The first has to do with the camp itself: I really wish they hadn’t planted trees or grass. The greenery seems to soften everything, making it all seem somehow livable instead of horrifying. They needed to have left it alone; stark and bleak; hell, here on earth. My second comment is about the music. I wish you had chosen perhaps a classical piece with violins playing sadly in minor chords. For me, your music started out sounding relaxing, spa-like, then morphing into the ever constant drum beat that became a distraction. I also wish you had lingered a bit longer on each written sign, as well as a few of your narratives. It was impossible to catch everything you thought important enough to highlight. Lastly, especially now, in the midst of the resurgence of antisemitism, your video is extremely necessary. My heart is gutted for all the Holocaust survivors who experienced true hell on earth over 75 years ago, came to the United States for safety and are seeing, and Heaven forbid, experiencing horrific antisemitism all over again. And I really wonder, how much more can they take? And I am inconsolable. We cannot forget. WE WILL NEVER EVER FORGET.
For the record, the trees were always there. Auschwitz 1, the main camp, was a Polish military compound before the Germans took over. The grass came back naturally after 80 years.
I’ll visit Auschwitz next week I’m so nervous it’s just I want to go and then I think. Is going to be so hard and I don’t want it 😢my emotions are playing up thank you for the video I’ll be prepared for that though 😔
Good luck! Goings the easy part! The whole world knows what happened but leaving makes you feel terrible! It’s tragic but everyone should go so it never happens again!
Yea sure it’s in the bio of the video the website and everything let him know you came from this video and he should offer you some discount! He is such a nice Michael Krupa! But all the website and details are in the bio for this video
@@DanUnplanned Thanks very much, I couldn't see the details initially, but managed to find it. Really appreciate your prompt reply and will surely mention your name as and when I do the trip.
The Jews In Budapest Were TRAPPED In A Battle So They Wouldn't Reach Auschwitz BUT Some Managed To Flee To Other Camps Such As Mauthausen Gusen (Which Is Inside The Village Market Of Mauthausen)
Thanks for the information! I’ve just got back from Budapest didn’t manage to make it into the synagogue it would of been incredible to look around it! I felt overwhelmed looking around auschwitz tho
I visited years ago and, while the tour has changed a bit thanks to technology, the effects on visitors remains the same. It's not a destination for the faint of heart, that's for sure. If ever a place on earth has been stained with evil, Auschwitz/Birkenhau is it. I distinctly remember the silence, no birds no animals, no sounds of nature apart from the wind anywhere near the place.
And yet due to just a pure fact that discription is not full, people start to forget that this is Gernan Nazi camp, a pure note that its in Poland is very missleading. I would be very happy with some update in description and tags. Good material.
It’s a very sad place, I don’t understand how humans can hurt someone else in such horrible way, it hurts my soul, but also confused because if they went through such terrible times, why are they doing the same to Palestine and their people? Why they spit and cursed to christians, why they behaved so bad if they went through all this things? Just don’t understand!
Why is the door of the train wagon closed? The door should be open and visitors should be able to see inside the wagon. Also, why are the doors of some barracks and buildings there locked and why are visitors prohibited from seeing these places? Please ask questions or make a request to the authorities on this subject.
The wagons were open! There are people inside of them! However it was so windy this day I was very cold to be outside I didn’t really explore the grounds! I do not know why some doors were closed! I thought it was an excellent tour! But very sad
@@DanUnplanned,,, In all the videos I watched, the door of the same wagon was always closed. They also need to show the inside of the wagon, we have to think about how 70-80 people fit in there. I congratulate those who made all the documentary videos on this subject. Thanks to you, the whole world is watching this and learning the facts. I offer my respects from Istanbul.
Yes very much heart breaking I haven't been there I'm from Australia personally I couldn't face been there Just seeing on clips films I seen was more than enough to handle been there yes I know friends experience been there didn't do the full tour was to up setting what had happened there they didn't see one bird or much green grass the whole place around you could smell death in a funny way believe me would be a very frightening experience Just walking through there 😢 RIP to all involved
