Auschwitz: The Nazis and the Final Solution | BBC Select

It was the site of the largest mass-murder in the world - yet few know the full horror of Auschwitz.
'Auschwitz: The Nazis and the Final Solution' scrutinizes the mentality of its Nazi perpetrators, revealing the regime’s involvement of Polish Jewish leaders to choose who would be killed and examining how the site’s commanders struggled to organize mass-murder on an unimaginable scale. With the help of computer graphics, reconstructions and interviews with people who were there including former SS members, the horror of the attempted ‘Final Solution’ is revealed.

This is why trump and his evil Maga Nazi GOP Party must never get in office again because he represents all the hate and racism in this movie to the fullest because like Meidus Touch Network says everyday Convict Traitor 45 the Dictator represents another modern Hitler who wants us against each other so he can take away are rights and rewrite the Constitution and stay in power forever and live above the law like he's trying to now in 2024

[@togarnis8096]

It's generally considered a bit of an embarrassing TV show these days... a single stairway & a small door down to the alleged gas chambers, the deliberate misquote of a 94 year old German clerk whilst taking tales like those of Darrio Gabbai seriously (he claimed to have treacherously murdered his own people and then gave their cyanide soaked black and blue corpses haircuts).

I am from Brazil and I can't find the documentary anywhere. Is important everyone knows about what hapenned. Please BBC and Netflix, put the documentary in your streaming. The mankind thanks! 😢

Gorecki. The music. Symphony of sorrowful songs. In watching The Final Solution when they said the Jews were 1% but blamed for everything it reminded me of Trump. I don't like the man. But the Dems blame him for stuff they created and they know they created. One woman recently told me he was a facist and was manipulating and ruining our freedoms. And I pointed out how Google and Twitter and Dems did that, took our freedoms. Nothing doing. She refused to believe it. And I stopped talking to her after I had her look up the word. Because she's embracing what is ruining us and hating what isn't hurting her. Now of course in their minds they're the open minded and we're the closed but it's entirely the other way around. They're blaming others for problems they're creating. As i said I'm no republican but I'm not blind to the blood sport of the dems.

My question is why are those SS members (who seem to express no remorse) still alive? There should be no sympathy for Devils

[@jacobkudrowich]

Good question! They shouldn't be allowed to remain living for their crimes and should have been killed decades ago

[@vchk5330]

[@nattygsbord]

Corruption did let men like Martin Sandberger go free even after he killed 600.000 people. His dad was a rich and powerful buisnessman who know many powerful men in the German government so he managed to get his son free from prison. And after the war was there lots of people in Germany that was involved in this genocide (I mean you gonna need lots of guards if you gonna run 30.000 concentration camps, plus running the trains, selling poison gas, working for the secret police and have soldiers with trucks driving around in the Soviet union and rounding up people and shot them and throw them into mass graves). And all the voices that would protest and demand justice for the victims in Germany was probably dead after the war. At least would not many of them be left. And the German government refused to pay economic compensation to all non-German victims of the holocaust. So I do not think that Germany has done enough to repair the damage done. And claiming proof from the victims that the German state did this to them before any economic compensation is being paid out also seems a bit absurd and self-serving... I mean the nazis deliberatly revoked all jews citizenship, stole all their economic assets, stole their homes, killed families and burn their bodies into ashes and dumped it into rivers or used it as fertilizer to grow trees in an attempt to hide all evidence of their crimes so no traces of a humans existence would be left for us in the afterworld to know. There are lots of SS members who survived the war. Some like Eichmann and Sandberger were the devil in human personified. But if we talk about some brainwashed teenage boy who was just a bystander and brainwashed in nazi ideology and bullied and peer pressured into a limited involvement into this disgusting machinery... then I can feel more sympathy with him. Overall do I wish that more nazis would have been captured and sentenced to capital punishment - such as Josef Mengele, Sandberger, and the participants of the Wannsee conferance, and lots of nazi doctors.

As a German I need to say that it's not true at all and a shame you think that, Look up Mao Zedong (49-78M deaths), Jozef Stalin (23M deaths), Leopold II of Belgium during his time in the Congo (2-15M deaths). Before you make such statements know the facts... Adolf Hitler is on third place with 17 million death. right after Mao and Jozef
