The sort of mindset that supported the murder of millions will never be understood by the vast majority of us. This programme sets out some extremely upsetting facts and figures about the Holocaust, dispels some myths, and adds to our knowledge. Upsetting yes, hard to watch yes, but a must watch.

[@Freefolkcreate]

Actually it is likely we will see it again since propaganda has become a way of life in the west. Only then will we understand how this horror happened. Sadly new generations don't often learn from their ancestors failures unless they actually experience them.

[@spaceghost8995]

Of course we understand it. Trump has the exact same personality as Hitler. He would ABSOLUTELY do everything that Hitler did if the situation enabled it. His sycophants would EAGERLY do his bidding. Look at the wild-eyed foaming at the mouth people at his rallies. You think they wouldn't murder anyone he told them to? Don't kid yourself.

[@damonmelendez856]

The exact sort of ‘mindset’ has been busy killing Gazan children as part of ‘revenge’. Christ teaches us that revenge is an affront to God.

Paul another chilling episode to sit through. Definitely a learning experience as there were so many factors I was not aware of. While the subject matter was difficult, I felt I owed it to those who suffered to sit through the uncomfortable moments and recognize their sacrifice. The scale of the machinery to make this possible boggles one's mind. Thanks for another excellent presentation--the author was outstanding1 Thx

Paul, you and all of your Holocaust guests are nothing short of magnificent. Knowledge, passion, delivery, teaching skills, questions, etc. are wonderful. You all held up so well throughout the horrors, too. In my opinion, the deniers are very simply anti Semites. They aren’t stupid or ignorant of the facts; they are antisemitic. They know damned well that it happened. They deny the Holocaust just to bust the Jews. Thank you all for your great insights and analyses.

[@colleenhelminiak1429]

"Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it." The evil that pervaded the Nazis should never be allowed to happen again. There are those who would deny that it ever happened - unfortunately for them, there is plenty of proof that these atrocities DID occur - and no amount of naysaying is ever going to change that fact. When will the world learn that war is not the answer to a perceived slight or insult, or just plain greed? Life is short - and so easily taken away. Perhaps one day there will come a time when our sons and daughters won't have to go and fight for freedom and the elimination of tyranny and oppression. We can only hope..........🌄🌄🙏🙏💖💖💖

As a child I played in my neighborhood, and found a box in a yard, it was filled with nazi medals, it goes to show this person was proud of his accomplishments cause he kept them, at the time I didn't know what they were, I was like 8 years old, but later figured this person must have died?

Thank you both for a chilling, but incredibly important presentation/discussion. My understanding about the Holocaust has been strengthened. A critical point that I found compelling was the breakdown of Jewish deaths by Western and Eastern Europe. 3 million from Poland alone is astonishing -- even though I have read/seen these figures presented before in some fashion. I appreciate the approachability and effectiveness of the "everyone should know" format along with collegial exchange -- including the audience.

I'm probably shouting at the void here but I had GED school in 1981 with a woman who was a little girl in Warsaw during ww2. She remembered the ghetto and the uprising. And of course the devastation in 1945. She left Eurape before the soviets got a chance to block everything off completely. Her name was Sophie. She was a sweet ladie

[@dennisweidner288]

[@steveforden]

That was an absolute tour de force. I have a query r.e. point 3. Would people typically be transferred from a concentration camp to an extermination camp? Or would you mostly be sent to a concentration camp and then stay there until liberated or worked to death. And then most people entering an extermination camp were entirely new to the camp system? Thanks.

[@melissacurtis7455]

There were death camps (treblinka, sobibor, belzec, chelmo) and everyone who went there was sent from ghettos straight to death. Auschwitz also had. Gas chambers but was also a slave labor camp

[@BilgemasterBill]

It's been a year since you posted this question with no response, but yes, there were special transports of forced labor prisoners from western concentration camps like Mauthausen, Buchenwald or Dachau of those unfit for labor to killing centers like Auschwitz or even the Hartheim Castle Clinic 'Operation T-4' killing center used since the '30s to murder the mentally ill or handicapped. Prisoner records from the camps typically noted those transported for killing with euphemistic terms or codes like "Sonderbehandlung" [= "Special Treatment"] or "Aktion 14f13" [= "Operation 14f13"]. There were also many transferrals of forced laborers from Auschwitz, which also had an extermination center role, to other camps. In some cases it was a case of murder by neglect. For example, there was an entire complex of 11 forced labor factory subcamps of Dachau known as "Kaufering". Prisoners deemed unfit for further labor would be transferred to the holding camp known as "Kaufering IV" near Hurlach to perish of illness or starve. It was termed a "Krankenlager" [= "Sick Camp"], but essentially it was an "oubliette" or hole to toss unwanted prisoners into to forget them. With raging typhus, even the SS guards wouldn't enter its barracks.

[@janehastie3464]

Before the Civil War in the United States, most of the plantations in the Southern states were operated enforced slave labor concentration camps. The people who were being held in captivity were never paid for their work, forced to work under very dangerous, brutal conditions, and often times had family members separated from them and sold to other places. In the 1950s, children who were labelled disabled were placed in state institutions. In si Inside these state institutions, both boys and girls were subjected to physical, psychological, and sexual abuse on a daily basis, and were given no education or a little education.

[@TheYankmchain]

To your #8, we need to add AMERICAN companies Ford Motor Co.(specifically Henry Ford himself who was very anti-semitic), IBM and AP(Associated Press). I'm especially appauled at AP who propogated a positive image of the Nazi's. Dr. Ferdinand Porsche was also complicit. It's hard to believe that the very existence of the VW Beetle is because Dr. Ferry Porsche built this car exlusively for and to the specs and ideals of Adolf Hitler. He gifted the first one to Hitler for his birthday.

I'm pretty close to old-goathood, born, raised, and lived my whole life in the US (i.e. my context). WW2 in Europe and the Holocaust were taught to me in the 1960s and early 1970s as, putting it simply, the Nazi Germans did this. How the two interconnected other than at the Nazi Party level wasn't taught. The Holocaust was in no way minimized. WW2 in general kind of got short shrift in History classes, as the school year tended to end before much got taught about WW2.

Number 1: the fact of "leave with what you are allowed," is equivalent to the trail of tears. All the nonstarter plans, were just that, playing for time. The offer of 1000000 Jews for a guarantee of a one year pseudo no invasion pause, was the only real attempt at giving life back to the captives.

The musical "Fiddler on the Roof" and the book it draws from, "Tevye the Dairyman" have as partial context real-life late 19th Century Russian anti-Jewish pogroms. Hitler built the Holocaust on the foundations of European general prejudices and too-real antisemitism. I'm not singling out EuroLand. While killing Jews wasn't a thing in the US, limiting Jewish enrollment in universities was (i.e. bloodless bigotry).

[@patkearney9320]

I think jealousy had a lot to do with the hate that led to the holocaust, Jewish folk became an easy target our forefathers spoke crap about Jewish folk. My own Grandmother would say to me! They killed Jesus yet she had many Jewish friends in east London. Crazy to think my own grandparents believed such crap.

[@Jewls1000]

She told her Mom and she yelled at her "Dont say that! People dont do that to other people!" So heartbreaking. But I was more so asking about the mass shootings. Like why instead of lining up to be shot, why not try to run for their life or over power the shooters? Just standing there waiting would be so horrible.

Is there not a corelation between some of the photographs and actual survivors of these shootings of the jews? One survivor survived the mass shootings in Ukraine and later testified at the Nurmberg trials against the Nazi perpetrators.

@10:36 Dr. Boern talks about the defeat and occupation of Poland as a turning point in Nazi policy towards the Jews. I would argue that the turning point is the Anschluss - where the successful emigration of the Jews of Germany is negated by a similar number of Jews being incorporated in the Reich overnight. The very real question then arose what will we do with the millions of Jews when we expand eastward. This is soo very true when we consider that Nazi planning was based on the concept of Stufenplan ("Plan in Stages"). Nazi obsessions with ethnic German ‘pioneers’ in the Baltic and Eastern Europe, and how these ideological manias were put into action during World War II in ‘East Wars,’ was then a reality.

The only thing I disagree with that people are saying is that this level of cruelty "boggles the mind". Christian Germany was antisemitic for almost an entire millennium. They didn't give up on this idea, and this led them to kill Jews. It is not hard to understand why they did it once you realize that Christianity drove them tl do it.
