The snow makes it even bleaker. I met a tiny older woman 25 or more years ago who had been in Auschwitz as a little child. I only found out about her past when she and her grandson were being harassed by a loose German Shepherd dog as they were playing on a local field. My own dogs {Lurcher and Whippet} drove the German Shepherd away , and enabled the woman and her son to get away. When I next went to the field, and the woman and her grandson were there, the old lady told me why she was so terrified of 'Alsatian dogs'....She remembered snow being seen through the cracks in the cattle transporter train carriages. Sh said even the odd sound of a train whistle {a vintage train} or horn could bring back memories {we live near a railway}.

Incredibly powerfully done video. Well done. I visited Auschwitz 1 in January 2010 and it was one of the most eye opening, disturbing and emotive places I have been. Sadly on my visit the weather was so Incredibly poor that Birkenau was closed. I think this is a must visit for everyone who cares about humanity.

I'm Danish and Denmark is considered a Europe country. I reside in Northern California and the horrors of what these Holocaust individuals felt and went through, made me angry. I believe those who perished are with the Lord right now. Jesus Christ is coming back soon and we will be raptured into heaven with a blink of a eye. It is my sincere hope to meet some of these Jews, mothers, fathers, children, brothers, sisters and others in Heaven someday. Your video transported me back in time. Thank you for taking the time, to put this together. I hope one day, I can visit Auschwitz and feel the energy there. May God bless you and your family Ben!

I visited Sachsenhausen which was an earlier experimental camp. You walk through the gates and all you can see is a triangular expanse of concrete, barbed wire fencing, guard towers, and a few surviving buildings. Visiting a former concentration camp allows you to have this perspective on the atrocities committed by using your imagination. Although not much of it remains the best way of getting a perspective on the place is to walk through and read all of the information on experimentation, castrations, mobile gas chambers, the torture methods, shootings, and the development of Auschwitz and the other camps. The main gate also said "Arbeit Macht Frei". At the time I remembered feeling overwhelmed with information and that there was an overall feeling of stillness and coldness when walking across the camp, the same feeling you get when visiting a cemetery. I am a British university student with no jewish connections in my family but It was still incredibly sad to visit.

@BenRobson1234 ай бұрын
You can visit by yourself without a guide, however I believe this is only at certain times. Auschwitz itself is actually free entry. You can get a train to Oswiceim but I think it would still be difficult to then get to Camp 2 (Birkenau). The opening times differ from season to season. In all honesty, I think it probably is just easier to book onto a tour, although the experience would be better alone in your own time. If you want to book a tour, I have some links in my description or at the top of my comment section. You can look through some tours from Krakow there, including transport & guide

And even if the Germans market gains, so in extension- The Germans; it is important that Germans were never the evils. Nazis were. Antisemitism such this kind predates Hitler and extends beyond Germany-Austria. Jewish Star, which they had to wear, as an explicit segregation was itself Muslim Caliphate's creation (or perhaps its even older). It is the Nazis who really showed all what the hatred can become if left unchecked. So, to quote Anne Frank, “In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.” People are good, if irrational evil is eliminated :)

Abner bhattacharya likes snow. Music in ghettoes & conc.camps + do many Serbs like dua lipa (Albanian) music videos ? Concentration camp & ghettoes had German music esp marching music, but concentration camp & ghetto guards sometimes liked music made by prisoners. Here are music things to regard after ww2. Jewish musicians during 1970s sometimes did concerts in Germany. The concert halls were owned by German businessmen then in their late 40s (if born between 1922 to 1926), 50s & 60s (born 1910 to 1920), most who were in Wehrmacht & some businessmen were in einsatzgrupoen & concentration camp guards during 1940s, who during 1960s & 1970s listen to Jewish musicians, perhaps even meet them to sign music contracts. That's right, even 1940s nazi soldiers liked 1970s Jewish musicians, that during 1970s, they gave them music contracts to perform in Germany. Does any1 know if jewish musicians commented on doing concerts in 1970s Germany concert halls owned by German businessmen who were einsatzgruppen? This shows music entertains, if people like music, even with warring nations. Albanians & Serbs have long violent histories with each other including during ww2, where a million Serbs were killed as in ex Yugoslavia, Albanians sided with Germans. There was 1990s war in ex Yugoslavia between same groups. With music, are there many Serbs who like to watch pop star dua lipa music videos as she is Albanian,? She is talented. I like spanish pop with Becky g (Rebecca Marie Gomez), Lola indigo, gente de zona, etc. Also like dua lipa. If people have ideas on music as wrote here, then comment.
