This made me think of a 91 year old bartender I used to know that used to serve me and my underage friends after work. He'd cash our checks and pour us all a drink of Jack and tell us stories. He was a paratrooper in WW2 and helped infiltrate nazi camps. He was a true american hero and I feel fortunate to have met him. May he and all who were on the right side of history rest in peace.

[@willianmkd909]

For you it is the right side, for other it is the wrong side my friend.

The Jewish people are so very precious to me. They have endured the worst mankind had to offer and yet they are the kindest and most giving people. As precious as they are to me, they are infinitely more precious to God.

The Palestinians, as well as the rest of the world will see in time that God loves Israel. He said He would show His glory through His people and indeed He will. Mark my words. The nations that war against Israel will be destroyed. The soul that wars against God will likewise be destroyed.

[@Endisupertramp]

We come from the same city, Branko and I. It feels so shocking to think that he got sent to a death camp from the same city that I am from. There's this sort of feeling of shame. The city that I know as Osijek is now one of the most peaceful cities in the world with incredibly low crime rates where you can take a stroll at whatever time of day you choose, noon or two in the morning without ever feeling threatened. To know that such a lovely city once sent a kid to torture and death feels like sad and disheartening.

5:13 'then British troops liberated the camp'. Why did he say this? To my knowledge it was the Red Army who liberated Auschwitz.

[@SomeTenth]

He was moved to Bergen-Belsen camp in a death march. Bergen-Belsen was liberated by British troops. The source is an interview he gave to a Croatian newspaper in 2013.

[@mename4359]

He was transferred to Bergen-Belsen in the Death March (the entire camp was transferred by death march to other camps)where he was Liberated by British Troops. Bergen-Belsen was Liberated by British Troops on April 15th, 1945

[@filipbuskovic3373]

Does it really matter who opened the gates?

[@DevCoffey]

Filip Buskovic I’m sure it does to him since they were his heroes. But I do see your point, there’s no point in arguing about it

[@jenniferfields1084]

It's was different people. American and other did.

[@rls100]

No it is a matter of wholesale murder vs a dispute over the right to land. Are you confused about this? Is ignorance one of you debating tactics? BTW, with respect to wholesale murder, I am leaving out for the moment the suicide bombers that, from the name on your KZbin account, are probably from your country or at least one with which you affiliate.

[@environmentalist001]

You missed the part where Israel gave President Obama their highest civilian award for the support he's given to Israel? Your comment is an insult to Mr. Lustig. Support his journey. Don't use it for your political agenda (which is wrong anyway).

[@air2091]

What? Obama tried to push Israel back to the 1967 borders! What support? But it doesn’t matter, us Israelis always forgive

how any people could find the strength to forgive germany and germans for what they did, to embrace us once again, is beyodn me... the crimes we, our ancestors, commited go beyond human comprehension

[@XimaX-NL]

Not the right time to discuss this!

[@air2091]

Why?

[@environmentalist001]

Perhaps you should post that on a story about Israel and not use this man's painful journey from 1942 to push your agenda?

[@XimaX-NL]

He's got a point, but which is total irrelevant for this topic.

The commentator did not equate the Holocaust with the treatment of the Palestinians by the Israelis. His comment may indeed be misplaced and inappropriate here, but an analogy with South Africa's apartheid, unfortunately, would be apt.
