Escape From Sobibor - The Complete Series

[@REDRAWVISIONS]

I should also mention how much your hard work throughout 2024 has been appreciated (not forgetting previous years too). Happy Christmas Dr Felton and thank you!

[@dustylover100]

I feel the same way. This is my favorite KZbin channel.

[@brunotonyoli9408]

Your love of history is a inspiration to us all

[@Incirlikcdi]

Just wanted to add my appreciation for the excellent historical content and a brief story...was in a store last week that aquires items from businesses that have closed. Sadly, many items were from independent bookstores. Being an avid reader, of course I sorted through and recognized one author immediately. I have mixed emotions as I bought several of Dr. Felton's work immediately. What a find... would highly recommend his titles and maybe support bookstores as well. Again, I enjoy all of the format...

what is avid reader ? I know only avid as a video editing software

[@rossjohnson9098]

Avid is another word for having a keen interest in something

[@ronlevin2339]

@@rossjohnson9098 ok, i did knew that This is from google Avid usually means very eager or enthusiastic. If you're an avid reader, it means you read as much as you can, whenever you can. But this adjective can also mean wanting something so much that you can be thought of as greedy.

The film Escape from Sobibor is a great film. I have watched it many, many times. It is very sad, but that is what happened, and we must never forget this.

[@SaltyChip]

10:58 “and it gave us something to live for.” I think I’m a glass half empty type of guy on that one. I think i would have been past the thought of survival, and my quote would have been, “revenge was finally becoming possible and that was something to die for.” Of course i didn’t live or experience the horror that they did and i have all this information that they didn’t have until it was too late. Most only found out the truth when they realized it wasn’t water coming out of the shower heads. Sitting back in my heated house Monday quarter backing, id hope that i would have had a “good” death where i took at least one SS to eternity of nothingness.

[@REDRAWVISIONS]

Excellent ... I will be watching this later. I think you uploaded this content previously but in 3 episodes? I watched those but I don't care .... I am going to watch them again and enjoy as always. If I am wrong and have not seen before, then I am even more excited ... lol!

[@kennyw4297]

Have you ever considered putting these into podcast form on Spotify etc?

[@TheDemonicPenguin]

Taking a moment to recommend the "Escape from Sobibor" TV movie from 1987 that Mark used as the thumbnail. A bit sanitized and with some TV-movie trappings of the era, it's nonetheless very well done and the best representation of the event on film. It's also fairly accurate, it being based on first hand accounts and with survivors (including Thomas Blatt) advising the production.

[@jeffking4176]

It’s an excellent, and very well Acted movie. 📻🙂

[@markracer3281]

Thank you...🙂

[@shengyi1701]

i believe the series had Rutger Hauer acting and it started with the Emperor Waltz by Strauss or am I mistaken?

[@MFFMPN]

No you are not mistaken and it also starred Alan Arkin

[@DGrisRdzdeRamos]

After seeing the movie y hated Emperor Waltz.

[@Padoinky]

How does this episode relate to the others of the same camp topic ?

[@volfi123]

When i hear the intro song, i feel like playing commandos behind enemy lines lol:D ps: there might actually be similarities between the intro and the music in the game, i'll check when i get home

Every time I hear the theme music I get a mental image of Mark on a rearing horse in full Roman General armor as he triumphantly raises his gladius skyward…

[@benstovall2]

It’s interesting, but many of the guards actually wore the blank right collar tab and Niemann wore the SS runes, as evident in his photo albums. I believe this is because the camps were run by men who were previously involved with T4 and not the TV. Even though Niemann came up through the TV at first.
