Auschwitz Details That Were Too Horrific For History Class

[@jeffe9842]

I grew up in a mid-size city in Illinois in the 1960s and 1970s. There were several Holocaust survivors there with one couple being friends with my parents. They were in our home quite often. The husband was a foreman in a mattress factory and he gave me a job for two summers while I was in college. There were several survivors who worked there. One man had a number tattooed on his arm and worked in the crematoria in Auschwitz. Near the end of the war, he was part of a forced march to Dachau where he was liberated by US troops. The stories I heard from him and from other survivors are as fresh in my mind today as they were when I first heard them 50 years ago.

[@lyndaadams5584]

@jeffe9842 I also worked with saviors saw the tattoos and heard the stories. I tought mine so they would know communism when they saw it. Just look around today the WEF is in every government today. Your rights are being slowly taken away from you. Those who support these leaders today really need to see this and wake up. You may support them but they will do the same thing to you.

My grandmothers bestfriend was a survivor. Her family was murdered and was r@ped everyday at 12 years old. People who deny the holocaust or make jokes about it dont realize how it affected people.

[@Fred-rj3er]

Not something that you can really forget and in my humble opinion, should never be lost from history. How about writing down some of the things that you remember being told? Perhaps just to pass down to kids or a museum, or even send to the guy that did this vid? Only my thoughts in type lol.

I was in the Air Force and the base was showing Schlender's List and after it was hosting a meeting with a camp survivor. I had seen the movie and didn't want to see it again but, I stopped by to find out what time the meeting was starting. As I walked into the lobby and old man came out of the theater and he was taking a drink out of a flask. I just knew he was the camp survivor. We talked and he looked back at the door of the theater, and he said, "That movie doesn't show you hardly anything that I saw in those camps. There is no way they could show it."

My grandfather told me of when they arrived at Dachau. He only spoke of it once. I had never seen him cry. Not even when a railroad spike went through his hand. It was so hard for him to bring it up. He told me that his commanding officer gathered up all the guards around the yard. Forced them into a box car, took one of their own grease guns and straight executed them. He didnt say whether or not he approved of this action, but he understood it completely.

[@hellgirlheleena]

I have heard the same story from someone I used to work for. The sight was so horrible they took justice into their own hands.

[@BeautifulDisaster718]

Good for them!!! Those guard were doing terrible things to them and they got what they deserved. The Jewish people went through hell in the Holocaust just like black people went through slavery. Two of the worst atrocities to ever happen to fellow humans. Just terrible for both. 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@zephyer-gp1ju]

I've only seen it once, but I saw a video of guards that were turned over to the prisoners. They formed a circle and mostly with shovels beat the guards to death. You could see them bouncing off the ground between the legs of the prisoners. One US unit that took Dachau did kill the guards. The Army at first considered charging them with war crimes but Patton stopped it. After seeing the pictures of the camps, there wasn't much of a call for them to be put on trial.

If anyone asked, and every year someone was sure to ask, he would tell us about the camp where he had been. We’d go home and ask our parents and uncles and they’d give us more of the story.

For people not knowing I'm sure it has to do with different education in different countries focussing on what's more related to their country. For me in the Netherlands, the holocaust and Auschwitz were taught almost religiously when learning about WWII. I suppose in highsight one of the reasons was because of Anne Frank. But it was taught and treated with more importance than for example learning about the US or British army (that you see in a lot of movies). I'm glad we were taught about this so early. Now a days I enjoy learning more information about WW2 that wasn't highlighted as much like about the US Military or British Army.

They didn't cry or stuff like that. Instead we had some very serious discussions and I believe that I did the right thing. Passing it down a generation. They are both very happy and productive members of society with no hatred etc BTW. Unfortunately access to this sort of info is gradually being removed by the WOKE cry baby people who want to wrap everyone up in cotton wool. Thanks. Good vid.

It's mostly fiction.

An otherwise excellent documentary is marred by the use of the phrase "six month anniversary". A quick dictionary check will show that "anniversary" refers to an annual occurrence.

Remember. There is never forget. If we forget, no one will remember the little ones.

Why is a chad guy on a fancy background telling me horror stories about Auschwitz?

The face of raw unadulterated evil. There are some people who can transcend all decency

I wonder if Hollywood ever bought film rights to Witold Pilecki's life story? I wonder if his execution by the Soviets was decisive if they didn't snap up this obvious heroic life....Did the British ever make a movie about him?

This video is a good wake up call to NEVER EVER give up your guns.

RIGHT ON !!!!!!

How are a bunch of weekend warriors going to defeat professionals with military gear that can be used in real combat? Even most police/law enforcement have access to automatic weapons, armoured vehicles, and dozens of other resources that 99% of the civillian population doesn't and never will. Research the siege and massacre at Waco Texas. to see how successful civillians were agains the authorities. 136 firearms, including assault rifles and handguns 700+ magazines for those firearms 200,000+ rounds of ammunition 110 upper and lower receivers for AR15/M16 rifles Grenade-launcher attachments for AR15/M16 rifles 400+ empty M31 rifle grenades, along with black powder and other explosive chemicals

You make it sound like that if people had guns, this wouldn't have happened. .

[@DerSim688]

The complacency of thinking that everyone owning guns will prevent this is the a big reason why it's unfortunately quite likely something like this will happen in the USA.

[@MM-yi9zn]

Unprecedented evil. Shameful history.

I am always drawn to one of the people seen here at 10:24. I'm going to say it's a man but because of their conditions, it could be a woman. The tall one with all the black hair. If anyone knows what his name is or if he survived, what happened to him afterwards, for some reason I'm always drawn to him. I would love to know his name to ask a blessing for him.

[@Violetbunnyfish]

That seems to be footage from the liberation of one of the camps, and if so, then he survived. I don't know his story, though, or how many family members he'd lost.

Will you be adding information about the Holocaust in Gaza and the West Bank to this video soon? For the sake of the human spirit of generosity, you could also include the 700,000 Palestinians that were ethnically cleansed in 1948.

[@KRAMMEDYRET1]

I consider going to Krakow and to see Auschwitz but I dont want to go on this trip alone

It is terrible that UK and US knew what was going on and did nothing. Ref Antony Eden

[@bettyboop3353]

I don’t believe much if anything is taught in school about the holocaust. There is no ceremony or anything to commemorate the holocaust victims. Yes that is actually a specific day of mourning. I doubt that anyone in the current generation has any idea that it exists. I was born in 1950. We heard a lot about the holocaust. I met several people who had the tattoo on their am. Few would discuss the ordeal they suffered. A few would speak of it so that others could tell their stories stories hoping that no one would forget that this horrible part of history really did happen. The holocaust has been overshadowed by the Vietnam stories.

[@ObaBaller]

Funny how people who went through this are doing it to other people 😢. Kind of makes you think the knowledge of history is pretty useless

[@Ed-ty1kr]

Don't forget the corporations whom we all still fund to this very day. Like.. Bayer (pharmaceutical testing for big Pharmakeia) , IBM (serial number tattoo's fed IBM cue cards for efficent genocide), VW Porsche Audi (Tiger tank parade down the Autobaun), Fanta (yes the soft drink), BASF (Nazi fuels), IG Farben (zyclon B for gas chambers), Hugo Boss (Nazi Uniforms), AP Associated Press (Nazi Propaganda), ect. ect. ect...

[@sandrakenney567]

To those who survived the nazi camps how they managed is a miricle for they were malnutritioned and in no stste to even carry stones heavy from morning till night with barley nutritions to give them energy there reward was not been sent to the gas chamber or been shot.how did they survive under their skinny bodies is a miricle.there belief in hope and watching out for each other even the weakest to me i boy my head to them and weeks after the war was over id say sadly most died but at least they died a good death that sound crazy but i hope they had friends with them and as for the ones who lived on to tell their stories and now probley at peace now but at least they had children and became great grandparents in seing their families where ok ..TO ALL THOSE PEOPLE GODBLESS THEM REST IN PEACE TO THEM AMEN 🙏✌❤🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷💐💐💐💐🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌳🌿🍁🍃💫💖AND HOPEFULLY UNITED WITH THERE FAMILIES AGAIN AMEN 🕊🙏
