Evelina Landova - From a Rich Czech Girl to a Tortured Prisoner Enslaved by NAZIS - Thersienstadt

Evelina Landová was born on 25th December 1930 in Prague, the capital of Czechoslovakia. Evelina’s half-sister Lisa from her mother’s first marriage was 10 years her senior. Evelina’s father Emil worked his way up to own a horsehair processing company and her mother Ilse was a housewife who came from a wealthy family. Ilse’s father owned 2 houses in Prague in which he rented apartments.
Until Evelina was three years old, the family lived in the Pařížská Street in the city center of Prague. From there the Landa family, and their servant, moved to a modern 4 bedroom apartment in Prague’s quarter Letná. Evelina enjoyed going to school, walking in the park as well as playing with her friends.
On 30 January 1933, when Evelina was only 2 years old, Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany by President Paul von Hindenburg. Soon after their assumption of power, Nazi leaders began to make good on their pledge to persecute German Jews.
Throughout the 1930s, the Nazis pursued an aggressive foreign policy and behind the scenes they began planning territorial expansion and a European war.

This is why the Czech people were correct to get all 3 million Germans out of their country for good.

[@miladydewinter8551]

Once near the polish border I was travelling by car. I suddenly felt an indescribable horror. I said to the driver ‘what happened here, something terrible happened here. A few minutes later we passed a sign that pointed out the nearby location of Thieriendenstadt

Those Israelis are so unreasonable, right? Especially when Hamas and Fatah have been such prudent, kind, peaceful and tolerant neighbours to Jordan and to Israel. "From the river to the sea"...understood.

There, were many tears shed.......for Evelina Landova.

[@ozziepete55]

As a history buff I find these videos extremely interesting. After many years I have still not come to grips with what went on in the camps during the war. How could you kill children, their Mums & Dads. What sort of person could do that. I always come up with the same thought, WHY?

[@karenjohnson5634]

I wonder the same? WHY?? It’s so pointless!!! All that tragedy produced NOTHING of gain for Germany, left a dark stain on that country forever, and destroyed millions of lives for generations!!! Not to mention what this sick ideology stole from the world by taking these people!!! All their talents, skills, love, smiles, etc- just gone for nothing!

Imagine it turns out World History on youtube is an AI 😋

[@butcheredalive]

It’s not. You can almost always tell if a video script has been made with AI because of the overuse of descriptive language and certain phrases pop up multiple times per video that no actual human would use, such as “stark reminder of”, and the phrase “Hold on to your seats because today we’re looking at X topic”. You can usually tell within the first minute if a video is AI generated if you know what you’re looking for

This beautiful lady among others who have suffered greatly, is in paradise with the Lord. R.I.P.

[@donnafuller3029]

These videos need to be shown on television around the world to remind people of the horror the Jewish people have suffered. 🇮🇱❤️

[@marthas.4456]

Yes, Jewish people suffered a lot during the WW2.... However it doesn't mean that they can abuse and suppress other ethnicities.

[@MoManny]

I don’t think anyone needs reminders. What happened under Nazi germany is horrible. What should be shown on all TVs today are the atrocities that the descendants of Nazi’s victims are now perpetrating on other minorities. Such a shame.

[@tamimdari997]

They suffered yet they are doing the same crimes today and the world is silent. I wonder who hides the truth and creates the false narrative

@@MsBadBody It is the same, only difference is Putin's got everyone in his pocket and his motive is power and territory (which does not belong to him) rather than religion. Ukrainians have as much right to save their country as anyone else. Why are you so Gung-ho about helping Palestinians but you don't care at all about the constant war crimes and murdered, raped and tortured civilians in Ukraine? At least Isreal sticks to bombing specific Hamas targets and doesn't torture civilians. Yes there are casualties but that's a far cry from tortured bodies we saw in Bucha. It was independently investigated and proven to be true. Those mass graves contained women and children by the way. This new neo not-see movement is gross. We are talking about Ukraine, which is over 88% Christian. White Christians killing white Christians, it's ridiculous.
