The BRUTAL Execution Of Mala Zimetbaum - BURNED ALIVE In Auschwitz

As the Second World War came to a conclusion, the allies came across a number of different concentration camps that had been established across Nazi occupied lands. The Soviets liberated Auschwitz, and they found the true horrors of the Third Reich, with Auschwitz being the largest camp of them all, being a huge site of mass killings and executions. Stories of brutality and savage treatment emerged from the prisoners who were liberated, but one horrific victim of the Nazis was Mala Zimetbaum.
Mala Zimetbaum was sent to Auschwitz from Belgium in mass deportations, and whilst inside the camp she was well respected as she spoke many languages and worked as a translator. She helped her fellow prisoners, getting them food and water when she could, and also helping some get lighter work loads. Mala was even respected by the SS guards, and she fell in love with Edward Galinski, a fellow prisoner of Birkenau. Together they planned to escape, and this was successful as they managed to sneak outside of Auschwitz. However shortly after their escape they were rounded up and captured, and this only meant one thing. They would be executed for escaping the camp. Usually the SS guards executed escapees in horrific scenes in front of large crowds to put them off.
During the executions of Mala and Edward, the crowd was large and Edward tried to defiantly make a statement against the Germans. However Mala went further, she tried to take her own life however then slapped an SS officer and she was then beaten badly by the guards. She was taken to the Camp Infirmary, but the leader of the women's camp claimed that word had been sent from the High Command for her to be burned alive inside of the camps crematorium. Arrangements were made for this to take place, but it's believed either this happened or an officer put her out of her misery before she reached the crematoria. Mala's death shows the complete barbarism of Auschwitz and the guards who worked there.

I've talked to both Americans and Europeans who lived through the war and/or whose parents lived through the war. If the accounts that I've heard are any indication, then the history books are telling only a tiny fraction of the story. The totality of the heroism, barbarism, and what can only be described as supernatural intervention that occurred during the War seems to be beyond human comprehension.

My grandpa was a medic in ww2, and he and the men he was with smelled a horrible smell as they were approaching the dachau concentration camp. As they entered, there were dead bodies pilled up and laying everywhere, and the smell of the decay was beyond anything my grandpa or the men he was with. Bodies were still in box car's, but dead. The prisoner's were skeletal, many sick and dying from starvation or didease. The troops gave them what food they had, and some were french, pow's, jews, political prisoner's, and several other nationalities, and christians as well. A former prisoner showed them the crematorium's, and some were still burning, other's had partially cremated remains inside. Most of the guard's bailed, knowing they would be in trouble. They were trying to dispose of the evidence, but no way to keep up. When they called for help, they said to bring food, medicine, blankets, sheets, and to be ready for what they were gonna see. My grandpa could not understand how human's could do such evil to other human's. They had to treat many right there before they could get them to a hospital because the were to fragile from starvation and disease. My grandpa wanted nothing on his grave, or headstone showing that he had served 4 year's. My mom wanted to have a bronze plaque put on the back of his and my grandma's memorial, but thankfully she never did, because i reminded her of what he said. God bless, this kind of history is coming.

"A former prisoner showed them the crematorium's, and some were still burning, other's had partially cremated remains inside. " There was only one crematorium in Dachau. "My grandpa could not understand how human's could do such evil to other human's." A shame that your grandpa and his comrades & country didn´t care about those poor people earlier as already on 1934 US-newspapers mentioned this concentration camp only one year after its installation.

It is better we get the occasional reminder so that we never forget. I write this as I have a 14 year old daughter who knows about this, but has never seen the actual horrors. She lives life very fully and is full of live and emotion. I know that if she was to watch these events or movies like Schindler's List will leave a permanent imprint. Trying to preserve her innocence for as long as possible. Her Canadian school is useless as they are going through WW2 history now but the teacher makes no mention of this or atrocities by Japan. The other sad thing is that we have people today who deny this ever happened or that White Supremacists still are thriving today. I remember hearing from a WW2 vet who liberated a camp and said that KKK and Supremacists made him so angry because he lost so many friends trying to defeat those exact same kinds of people only to have them pop up in the US.

[@clintonearlwalker]

You got that right. I've studied the Holocaust for decades. Right now I'm reading prisoner accounts from the Auschwitz Trial in Krakow in 1947 translated to English on a website called "Chronicles of Terror". It's unreal how horrible and brutal the Nazi's were. Maria Mandl, head of the women's camp was one of the worst. After "Mala" apparently slashed a German with a knife or razor blade, Mandl screamed "burn her alive". While I've heard of Golleschau, I'm not that familiar with it. Rest in peace to your relative. One tiny portion of one woman's testimony: "There were no pallets or blankets in that block. The prisoners did not have bowls or spoons. I heard Mandl say that they were not given blankets or pallets because she wanted them to croak faster, as she needed the space for the next transport. Subsequently, a 360-person transport came from France. They were, according to Mandl, communists, and thus had to die. Soon, only seven were left. When Mandl hit somebody in the teeth, they had to get them extracted, for she had colossal strength, and moreover, she was a graduate of a boxing school in Berlin."--ANTONINA PIĄTKOWSKA

The horrors of war ,I thought the case of the German pilot was bad ,,when the British pilots had to abandone their fighter planes, one German pilot used to fly around and shot there parachutes ,this practice was not allowed in the war from both sides, but this German pilot disobed these orders,,,until a British pilot seen what he was doing, so the British pilot, tracked him down and was sure not to shoot him down, he wanted to just damage his plane so he had to use his parachute, and when he did the British pilot empeyed all his 50 calibre twin machines guns into the German pilot, the British pilot said there was no flesh left on the staps of the parachute, in other words he blew him into small pecies,,

Mala was brave and brilliant woman condemned to a cruel existence and a horrific death just because a despot said so, never let ourselves be governed by those people again.

Incredibly, some of them did forgive (though they obviously NEVER forgot), as did some of the Japanese prison camp survivors. One Colonel whose testimony is on KZbin, Glenn Frazier, said he hated the Japanese with the every inch of his body and soul, until he realized it would destroy him unless he somehow was able to forgive and move on with his life.

[@HendrikPlukaard]

@@thunderbird1921 Yep, my father was a prisoner of the Germans and was freed by the Russians. He never said a bad thing about nobody and only told happy stories. In the end the memories caught up with him and he died of post war trauma. When I see the hate popping up in some of these comments I'm glad I had the father I had. Being busy killing people in countries that have caused no harm to yourself or your countrymen is a despicable activity that cannot and will not be covered up by stories of heroic acts of the so called 'brave' and 'free'. Hopefully we see the present suffering of ordinary people in wars being told in the same way as is done in these series, and hopefully it may bring some sense to people that are actually engaged in atrocities. Personally I doubt that things will change, seeing the hate culture we live in in the west.

Two wrongs don't make a right, the Nazis probably learnt their dirty tricks from the British and other Imperialist countries who at one time occupied most of Africa, India, North America, Palestine and the far East and the brutal inquisitions in South America at the hands of the Spanish and Portuguese. What about the brutal and murderous conversion of the Jewish people to Christianity back in 1492 right up to the 15th and 16th centuries in Spain and Portugal and those Jews who weren't converted or murdered escaped for their lives to the Ottoman Empire or North Africa where they were protected. Not forgetting the British, American and other European nations, who were involved in the brutal slave trade where countless thousands of poor African slaves themselves were beaten, raped, dehumanised and many thousands more murdered at the hands of these brutal British slave traders. The Belgian Congo where mass murders occurred and the removal of limbs by the then Belgian rulers occurred, some estimates over 10 million murdered. The horrors and the mistreatment of the true Australian, the native Aborigine whose land was stolen and taken from them by the British Colonists. The brutal campaign in Ireland at the hands of Cromwell, and we cannot forget the genocide of over 1.5 million Irish people in the great famine ( An Gorta Mor) from 1845 when in actual fact there was no shortage of food, crops and wealth in Ireland but was stolen and removed by the British to ports in Bristol and Liverpool, leaving the Irish, desperate and hungry. Before people criticise and judge all people in Germany at that time period up until the end of the war and the release and freedom for those poor, hungry and remaining Jews from those horror camps that we educate ourselves, learn from past wrong doings and read up on the true history of our country and whether or not it had a Colonial or Imperial Past and that we not base our history on what our governments and educational system want us to read and believe, so that we can make peace with each other, learn and move on. Thankfully many of the Nazi perpetrators who were themselves responsible for those inhuman and barbaric crimes committed in those Naxi Camps faced justice. The British are well educated rightly so on the horrors of Aushwitz and Second World War but their educational system doesn't teach them about the horrors and cruelty inflicted on the Irish people from in the 16th Century, to the Plantation of Ulster and right up until the Good Friday Peace Agreement in 1998.
