Sadistic Nazi guard Gertrud Sauer & her crimes at Bergen Belsen concentration camp during WW2

Horribly Brutal Nazi Guard Gertrud Sauer & Her crimes at Bergen Belsen concentration camp during WW2. Gertrud Sauer was born on the 8th of September, 1904, in Görlitz, then part of the German Empire.
She was 28 years old when Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party came into power in January 1933.
With the Nazi rise to power, the party ordered anti-Jewish economic boycotts, staged book burnings, and enacted discriminatory anti-Jewish legislation. In 1935, the Nuremberg Laws racially defined Jews by “blood” and ordered the total separation of so-called "Aryans" and "non-Aryans,” thereby legalizing racist hierarchy.
On the night of the 9th of November 1938, the Nazis destroyed synagogues and the shop windows of Jewish-owned stores throughout Germany and Austria. This event, which became known as the Kristallnacht pogrom or Night of Broken Glass, marked a transition to an era of destruction, in which genocide would become the singular focus of Nazi antisemitism.
The Nazis murdered Jewish people in mass killings, by shooting, administering poison gas, exhaustion and overwork, and in specifically constructed killing centers which were part of the Nazi camp system.
The Nazi camp system began as a system of repression directed against political opponents of the Nazi state. In the early years of the Third Reich, the Nazis imprisoned primarily Communists and Socialists. In about 1935, the regime also began to imprison those whom it designated as racially or biologically inferior, especially the Jews. During World War II, the organization and scale of the Nazi camp system expanded rapidly, and the purpose of the camps evolved beyond imprisonment toward forced labor and outright murder.
Throughout German-occupied Europe, the Germans arrested those who resisted their domination and those they judged to be racially inferior or politically unacceptable. People arrested for resisting German rule were mostly sent to forced-labor or concentration camps.
The Second World War, which began on the 1st of September 1939, brought unprecedented growth in both the number of camps and the number of prisoners. Within three years the number of prisoners quadrupled, from about 25,000 before the war to about 100,000 in March 1942. The camp population came to include prisoners from almost every European nation. Prisoners in all the concentration camps were literally worked to death. According to SS reports, there were more than 700,000 prisoners registered in the concentration camps in January 1945.
The Germans deported Jews from all over occupied Europe to extermination camps in Poland, where they were systematically killed, and also to concentration camps, where they were drafted for forced labor which was "extermination through work." Several hundred thousand Roma people and Soviet prisoners of war were also systematically murdered.
Part of the Nazi camp system also became Gertrud Sauer who at the beginning of the war was a married saleswoman in Osnabrück but went back to her hometown Görlitz because her house was bombed. She then worked in a munitions factory.
In April, 1944, she was conscripted as a guard and in September of the same year was sent to Gross-Rosen concentration camp.
The camp was used for forced labor and the female prisoners worked in the textile and munitions factories. The textile factory would produce material that would be used for uniforms, army coats, parachutes, and blankets that the German military needed.

I really like the narrator’s voice! It truly fits that era sublimely, it is almost like he is giving a speech. Serious, somber yet intellectual and dignified. Bravo on all this in-depth research! A hard working team indeed! Keep it up!

[@jacksonreilly3441]

The narrator majored in stentorian pomposity.

[@WorldHistoryVideos]

Thank you

[@DeepTexas]

Exactly! Very well said! This channel is a gift.

[@harryshriver6223]

Honestly, I think he is paying his respects and showing the proper amount of revulsion for all of these crimes against humanity. I'm not sure how he does it without any anger or rancor in his voice. I would be absolutely livid with rage and sorrow for even having to talk about this subject. 😢💔😿

[@estellelaumier8194]

Why in Gods name were they all not executed...6 years for those horrific crimes it barely scratches the surface

[@harryshriver6223]

My friend that is the 16000 question without an answer. Why were all of these people responsible for such atrocities not held accountable? How many deaths does it take before it is called mass genocide?

[@v.a.993]

She was a HARD LOOKING 41...she looked more like 71...all that evil inside of her was rotting her from the inside out.

[@stevebaker6149]

Excellent report as always. This woman at her trial said that the British liberators had exaggerated the terrible conditions in Belsen and that she herself would never do the terrible things of which she was accused. But films taken at the time show that she demonstrated zero emotion when forced to help bury the emaciated corpses.

A really well done presentation my friend, I'm not sure how you do it . I would be out of my mind with rage and sorrow having toured o a concentration camp in Germany a long time ago. It was the middle of summer and I was freezing the whole time. 😢💔😿 I have sworn never to forget, a promise made a long time ago do a German I had a few beers with at a Volksfest. He told me about his experiences as a 15 year old draftee in 1945 with the Wehrmacht. Almost his entire unit was teenagers led by a 60 something year old German as a last-ditch effort by the Nazis. He told me never to forget what happened in World War II and to never take our freedoms for granted.❤RIP to him 💔 🙏 some promises are meant to be kept forever.

[@maryknight4823]

I really need to commend the narration to all these short reports. I used to have a teacher back in school. He had this ability to narrate history that no matter what interest you had you just had to hear what he had to say. Your narration reminds of his way. Really, thanks for doing this.

[@kadyrov3218]

The allies were far too nice to the former nazi camp guards considering what they did. Sometimes these guards were handed over to prisoners. Now that's justice!

I don’t understand how any of them only received 6-10 years. None of them should’ve got out of prison for what they did to the babies, children, teens, men & women. I look at my grandchildren & feel so sad for all the people who were tortured, beaten, starved, killed. It hurts my heart to know what all the people went through😢😢😢

[@chetyoubetya8565]

Well, it's not as if the war ended and the world suddenly loved and felt sorry for Jews. Trust me when the war ended most of the countries that participated in this felt the exact same way about Jews and other groups murdered as they did during the war. So, her prison term was more for show than anything else along with hundreds of other Nazis and people who murdered thousands.

If you don't know how Gertrud spent the rest of her life and you have no clue as to when and how she died, how can you possibly pontificate that there were NO TEARS SHED for her? That is a complete NON SEQUITUR and erroneous assumption. You are getting quite carried away here. Time for a change of pace! How about a series on Allied war crimes?
