Such a horrible time in our history. Those buildings should stand forever so we can be reminded of what happened. History has a way of repeating itself and we never want this to happen again!

[@lipazdotan4021]

Just so you know, out of the 3000 of twins Mengele researched, there was a pair that was not infact- made of twins. Two boys, 17 and 16 of age, Moshe and Menashe of Hungary, were non-twin siblings. They looked nearly identical and had the same height, but were born a year apart. They, like all the other twins, were taken to block 10 which was a short distance from "The Wall Of Death", where they excecuted prisoners by a firing-squad. Testimonies said that at times Mengale was even kind to them, offering them sweets and closing the windows so the children won't be exposed to the killing outside. On other times they were brutally tortured for no reason. When it came to the Hungarian siblings, Mengale was fascinated by their throats and vocal cords; he used to inject them a substance that caused them immense pain, and was later discovered to include cancer cells. Both of the boys got cancer due to the experiments, yet only the younger brother Moshe survived (his brother dies at a Czeck hospital once the camp was liberated). Moshe made it against all odds and then changed his name of Ephraim, as a tribute to his brother (two sons of Joseph). He then returned to Hungary only to discover that his immediate family was wiped out. The only survivor was his second cousin, Olga. They both immigrated to Israel, and Efraim was one of the lasts (along with the survivors of this documentary) of Mengele twins to tell his story. He Married, had children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He celebreated his 93's birthday not long ago. His cousin Olga married, had two sons and lived to see the birth of four grandchildren- 3 boys and a girl. that girl is me. Let it be our duty, the duty of the next generation of Mengele-Twins families, to guarantee their story is never forgotten. Thank you for this video.

My parents had friends that had survived Auschwitz, they had the number tatoo. My uncle had been one of the first American troops into the place. He helped send those he could to America. Two of the survivors later married. 'Ted' (that's what us kids called him because we couldn't pronounce his real name) and Gertrude were lovely, wonderful, fun, very kind, loving, gentle, generous people. Gertrude had been one of Mengele's 'experiments'. They were never able to have children because of what Mengele had done to her. But they sort of 'adopted' all their friends' kids, and we were a very spoiled lot after they got hold of us!! Gertrude didn't like to speak of what had happened, but when we 'kids' were in our late teens Ted began to encourage us to ask him questions because he said the more people that knew what happened, the less likely it would be to ever be allowed to happen again. As they got old and it was their time to go, first Ted then a couple of years later Gertrude, some of us, 'their' kids, got together and took care of them. They both wished to pass on at home, we made sure they were able to do that. We took care of them in teams, 24/7, until they each left. We made sure it was as painless and peaceful as possible. After what they'd been through, they deserved at least that much. We still miss them both.

Tbh, I think the most they received was from law suites against different companies, like Bayer (german pharma). They tested their drugs on people from the concentration camps AND even worked with Mengele himself! A reparations fund was created, with money from about 5 companies, for 5 billion $, to be given to 1.7 million victims. But, although it wasn't divided equally, if you do the math, it wouldn't be more than $3000 each... So, even if some got more, others got less...

Eva and Miriam, shared their first hand accounts of the experiments done to them, will live on for many generations to come. They will know the absolute truth coming from those who had to live through. May Eva live in eternal peace.

No GOD. We all are Energy and if you can concentrate hard with your mind you can become spiritual enough to move objects and even lift up your body in air. Ancient people did that. If they can keep secrets by not telling to Jewish people facts and fed those lies that they are moving them to work somewhere else. They can keep their own secrets of escape plan. Those who have worked in war as soldiers they are trained that way. Hitler was a commando. Those conscripted may evade service, sometimes by leaving the country, and seeking asylum in another country. That is why many Muslim countries asylum came to America, or went to different countries. Himmler was using Hitlers Name to portrait Hitler for those crime which actually was Himmler's deed. Certain documents were saved to prove that it was Himmler's signatures where found and NO EVIDANCE AGAINST HITLER WERE FOUND. I remember George Bush, out of blue moon attacked on Sandam Hussain and invade their country with an armed force. While people said that he had a carpet of Bush face which he was stepping on and entering in his office. Which Bush did not like. George Bush is living till this date and he is not considered as a criminal. Secret Service protecting U.S. political leaders, and their families. Hitler Might be bad or not ....who knows what is the truth. We all only know him by someone else interpretation of his character. In today’s world also people exists when they become COP some of the officers thinks that they have a freedom to abuse it and some are good Cop too who does not believe in cruelty. It could be Himmler or other officers who were not obeying orders correctly. Plus all Jewish people were prospering in Germany before the WAR, but the problem with them and Muslim community is that they keep produce 7-9 kids per family and they think only they have rights to live. This grew Germany’s population to High. This caused many issues. When they do not give Jobs to Germans it becomes problem. Another thing is everywhere Dictatorships is not allowed. Look at recent examples America attack "Sandam Husain" and his way of handling his country. He was a Military person and Dictator. Hitler was a Dictator as well. China keeps away the rest of the world away from what is going on inside China. Otherwise China is a communist and somewhat dictatorship. Another example is NORTH KOREA Is Communist Dictatorship. He was never accounted for - last part of the video - That is not true Hitler wanted to do good for Germany. Hitler expanded his German territory to almost whole of Europe by 1939-42 But his own people and some Jewish people betray him and many people were tired of war since long. Plus his Army many were fighting since long time and his army reduced a lot so they had to bring troops from Africa, Philippines, etc...His mistake was to attack on Hawaii and made USA by force to enter WW-II. This ultimately made him loose. The law of war is who so ever is not supporting the country where they are leaving and go against it, becomes enemies of that country. In this case Jewish were leaving in Germany they should be loyal and patriotic to the country which gives them lively hood. When opposite party troops are caught in wars are considered as POW. And Civilians who are not faithful to their own country are also POW.

To blanket statement that all Christians are terrible and did this terrible thing is asinine of you. Those who were nazis can’t be classified as true believers of God if they believed In in-congruency in races and religions. To say that about Christians is closed minded thinking and accomplished nothing. Perhaps, as a Jew, you should know there were GOOD people who awarded by Israel today for being noble and courageous gentiles.
