X, I think you can help with the message, by linking this for your subs. And letting them learn some history they may have been shielded from, or lead to believe didn't happen.

[@hiddegiesen1191]

xisumavoid Quite late, but i found some on an excursion with my class to Münster. And some people are just dumb enough to think that Germans should get over it. But the whole WW2, as Doc said, has left such a big scar, that it'll always be rembered no matter what or where in WW2 involved European country's. My grandfather's dad got caught but escaped before he was deported, not for just not fitting in, but for hard labour in a bomb factory.. If he didn't escape which was very likely, I wouldn't have existed, neither were my grandfather and my mother... and that's why if should be remembered to never, ever happen again.

[@KingCreepa]

I know there are going to be a lot of people saying bad stuff, but I support this video. On its basic level it is a history and cultural lesson and I can support that. Thank you for sharing something that many people need to learn about.

[@les07derEroberer]

Go fuck yourself with your ''Everyone hates jews'' attitude. at least in the west jews are welcome, which is not the case for the rest of the world

[@chompygator3083]

SchiggiOverload I don't know what video you watched, but there is nothing here along those lines. Also keep in mind, USA has 48+ bomb threats to Jewish centers in the last month. That doesn't include graffiti, threatening letters etc. Which is what Doc is trying to point out. This labeling and separating into "us" and "them" devolves quickly into something I know I don't want.

[@PwnageFury]

There has actually been a steady increase in neo-nazi and other white supremacist groups in the US and across Europe for over a decade. Organizations that track that kind of activity have been warning about it for years. This is a real threat to all people who are not seen as "part of the main stream" just like Doc said. The details of the threat are not exactly the same as WWII, but they are there. Just because something is worse somewhere does not mean we can ignore oppression or hatred in our own backyards.

[@batcheeba]

Dear Doc....both my partner and I admire how you use your channel to educate the younger ppl on history. We don't know you but we do know you have good in your intentions. In this crazy world voices like yours are so important. And you use your power to change the world....showing us all that even the smallest change is important. Thank you.

[@lukepalmer3987]

Nice to watch a video like this without the person doing it trying to push their own opinions...And also nice to see the real German people have so much respect for the Jewish and all the other people that died

[@brunogelemanovic9377]

Luke Palmer those other people are called Slavens btw

[@dackelachtbeinig2830]

@@brunogelemanovic9377 I´m sorry but what do you want to say? Did you want to say, that all the other people which were murdered have been slavic people? That would be wrong, many were but there were other people murdered.

[@dackelachtbeinig2830]

@@brunogelemanovic9377 Ahh OK! But I have to say: In germany slavic people are remembered, too. I live near Hann. Münden. In Hann. Münden are many graves from WWII and some were slavic people. Sometimes there is nothing more than " a polish woman". But there are many, with names, home towns and more. Even today historiens try to give the names back to the dead.

As a random American you've never met, I just wanted to say thank you for this video. I would be lying if I said it didn't make me emotional.

[@tacticalchicken6122]

Thank you Doc. My grandfather lost family members and his country (Poland) in the war. He never talked about it and it affected his life always.. It takes a great person to talk about how it affects them and their nation even after all this time. An informative vlog from a respected youtuber, thank you again.

[@SpaghettiEnterprises]

same here. it's weird being related to a ghost story that's actually real

[@daolong51279]

A group in the US is trying to do something similar for the victims of lynching. I believe its called the equal justice initiative. Unfortunately there has been resistance to this on the areas where it was most prevalent. Sometimes you just need something tangible to remind you of the ugliness we are capable of.

[@PwnageFury]

Thanks for mentioning this, I had no idea there was an attempt to do this. I hope it gets support.

[@haeuptlingaberja4927]

The more resistance that an American lynching Stolpersteine project runs into, the greater the proof that it is absolutely necessary, especially now that the American Nazis are hellbent on whitewashing history in 2023, as they are so actively banning books and the teaching of history, the epitome of which is the state of Florida passing laws dictating that students be taught that "slavery was beneficial to the enslaved" because them ungrateful slaves were taught "useful skills for free."

[@augustz9168]

Hi Doc! Sehe dieses Video erst jetzt und wurde durch Hermitcraft auf deinen Kanal aufmerksam. Ich finde es super, dass du zu den Stolpersteinen ein Video gemacht hast, da es ein wichtiges Thema ist welches nicht vergessen werden darf. Vlogs finde ich insgesamt sehr spannend!

[@Packie318]

Doc is a really good person and I look up to him and respect his point of views. I'm a 22 year old and I'm just starting the path that will determine where my life will go, and having these strong messages that inspire both self awareness and a sense of scale for my own part in humanity goes along way for making better choices and looking for the lessons I can learn from the things and people around me. I love your videos Doc, I'm really glad that your channel is everything that it is. Thank you for taking the time to make videos like these!

[@MardiGraskid]

Great job, Doc. Thank you very much.

[@msmateo7723]

I fully understand you Doc, everything you said is real, it was not only Jews, victims were regular folk from not only Germany but from other countries that were conquered by Germany. In Croatia where i come from you can find similar memorials of victims of Italian fascism in our region in that time, almost every village have one with dozen of names on it.

[@peterlustig972]

I once was on vacation in croatia (im german) and saw one of those memorials. It was in a very small village with only about 100 citizens, but the memorial had over 200 names on it. That made me think a lot about this dark chapter of our together history, and this memorial is one of the things i remember the most of this vacation.

[@PwnageFury]

My late father told me stories about how a friend of his surviving the concentration camps and the anguish he had about all his friend had endured. About 10 years ago, he and my mom took a trip to Germany. I remember his face when he told us of the visits they had made to the sites of the concentration camps. Thank you for making this Doc. It made me miss my father's wisdom and caring a lot, but also comforted me there are people like you making their voices heard.

[@fgknightg]

Hey Doc, as a college history instructor I want to say thank you for doing this. For bringing both social awareness to this project and giving interesting insights.

[@acleamofhope]

Add another instructor at university (although subject Deutsch als Fremdsprache) to this praise :) I can only agree.

[@Rohanadarilin]

Same, add me as a german teacher at a french middle school. This will be so useful!

[@drigrid]

We have these in Norway as well. The Norwegian government during the occupation willingly cooperated with the occupation forces to register, arrest and deport the Norwegian Jews. Hardly any of them survived at all. Which is a stark and terrible contrast to what the Danish did, when they organized mass escape to Sweden. There were Stolpersteine (snublestein in Norwegian) both in my old neighbourhood and by my former place of employment. Considering that my grandfather was a volunteer for the Norwegian SS I feel this is somewhat personal to me, and I am humbled and awed whenever I see these tiny monuments. They are a good way to remember something gruesome.

[@katokatt9863]

I think it's important to note that it was not the elected government that did this, but the "occupation" government that overthrew the elected government, led by Quisling. It was a coup d'etat by norwegian Nazis. (Hi, also a Norwegian! ^^)

[@Millienfilm81]

I moved to Berlin last year, and in my hood there are many Stolpersteine, that are polished and maintained throughout its cycle. While on my run each morning, with greater distance covered the more stones appear. You must, as a human being, pay respect for those who were lost so tragically. Rest in Power.

[@ZAV1944]

It's nice to see that some people are remembering history so not as to repeat it. Out of curiosity what prompted the making of this video doc?

[@docm77]

Well, the stuff that goes on in the world right now. The message of the video is always important, but especially right now.

[@ZAV1944]

true that, tis scary times we live in now. Take care doc and god bless you and all other like minded peoples.

[@petyr33]

Even scarier today

[@acleamofhope]

I would like to like that twice :) As a German and as a trained history teacher i am really impressed and grateful on how strong the meaning in this video was and how you managed to explain it to people who were not raised in Germany. Thanks a lot for this! I am sorry that you don't have more likes on this video, but you at least gained a suscriber with this :) By the way: came her from Etho's 'videos i like'. I guess otherwise i would not have found it :(

[@danichan913]

The world needs more humans like you Doc. Thank you for sharing these words of insight with everyone.

[@katokatt9863]

Thank you for this video. I'm Norwegian, and what happened during the war is very strong in our peoples memory. There are so many things that could and should be learned from what happened during WW2, and it's something that Norwegians take very seriously. So many people lost their lives fighting against the Nazi regime just inside our own country, and the pain from that is still a wound that has not healed. There is a book about Norwegian jew Herman Sanchowitz, about his experiences from the slave-ship DS Donau, to Auzwich, then the death-march from Buna, where he ended up in a train that took 10 days to Dora. He eventually ended up in Bergen Belsen. The book is called "Det angår også deg" ("It concerns you, too."). That book is one of the strongest pieces of litterature I have ever read, and I will never forget it. It details day-to-day events in the camps, and explains why/how he managed to survive. In the end, it's a book that teaches us that we must never dehumanize another person, and what it entails if we do. If I had to recommend only one book that I thought everyone should read, that would be it. To contribute to what you said at the end of the video, I'd like to share a poem by Arnulf Øverland, written during WW2, about not allowing evil: "Du må ikke sitte trygt i ditt hjem og si: Det er sørgelig, stakkars dem! Du må ikke tåle så inderlig vel den urett som ikke rammer dig selv! Jeg roper med siste pust av min stemme: Du har ikke lov til å gå der og glemme!" ("You mustn't sit safely in your home and say: It's so sad, poor souls! You mustn't so easily stand for the injustice that doesn't afflict youself! I shout with the last breath of my voice: You aren't allowed to sit there and forget") This rhymes, and during the war, it was used as a chant amongst the people, for courage. We still recite it for that purpouse today :)

[@discipleofurza1]

This is really cool! Thank you for sharing this.

[@erik5024]

Just laid two last week for my father and grandmother in Berlin. Such a moving moment.

[@_Hanover_]

Thank you Doc for making this video. For bringing a small bit of history and awareness to the people who watch you videos. And for hopefully making just one person think about their actions and words.

[@tigirus4656]

I'm taking a German history class at my university and one of our final assignments was to find something made by a German citizen in the last few years and contextualize it to help show the change in German identity today. I decided to use this video because it greatly shows the introspective nature that I feel Germans have in understanding what happened and why it happened. I feel that you comment about how it is more than dwelling on the past made me think more deeply about what my own history as a Canadian means to my daily life, something that I had not though about previously. As such I would like to thank you for making this video as it made me think more deeply about myself and my nation's shared history than I had previously.

[@gilder1997]

Great video Doc. People seem to forget what happens if you spark hate towards others and don't speak out against it

[@les07derEroberer]

hate =/= hate because i like to hate, you make me very angry.

[@CGVan420]

Hi Doc. I've been a subscriber for quite some time.. but never felt the need to comment. But today that has changed. Until today.. my favorite videos of yours were your 7 days videos. But now.. I have a new favorite video. THANK YOU so much for making this video. The message is powerful and important.. and I'm so glad you've created and shared this with us.

[@CryinMo]

Dude, I have been enjoying your gaming videos for a long time and just happened to see this on your main page and this was extremely touching to see. I think it's incredible to see a "KZbinr" and a "gamer" (all labels, I know) put forth something so very intelligent and caring and honest and socially relevant. I'm not saying that gaming videos are not intelligent, I'm not saying that at all. I'm just saying this was, for me, really unexpected and really quite lovely. I think also you have a lot of courage, so many of us decline from commenting on any kind of politics because, well, because it can get political very quickly, but i feel that you are standing up for intrinsic human decency which cannot and should not be politicized. I don't know, man, I just wanted to let you know how emotionally touching I really felt this was, and how unexpected and how awesome. I'm just one more little voice chiming in with my support and gratitude for you, sir. Carry on!

[@warsinaction2450]

It is because of people like you doc, there is the hope for the future. These kinds of persectives help create the disscussion that people need.

[@dennisengea1]

Hey Doc, I live near Emmen (NL) . My 11 year old daughter will visit Buchenwald this year. Its an initiative by the former dokter here in this village. He raises money to teach kids about respect. equality. He takes al the kids in this village who are in the last grade.

[@jeffbrown4382]

Doc, We went to Germany in autumn and I saw these in several cities. I knew to look for them because I watched this video back when you made it. So, I'm writing this to tell you thank you for making it. I wouldn't have known or appreciated this project without your enlightenment. I hope you are well.

[@DidNotKnowICouldDoThat]

we also have these stones in the Netherlands I live close to Harlingen and they are all over the city but we call them struikelstenen in Dutch.

Fascinating video, thanks for sharing doc i never knew this

[@Heschoscho]

Stolpersteine are made from brass, so they're normally easily spotted. The ones in the video seem quite old, so they're a bit outworn i guess. I daily walk past over a dozen when going to university.

[@barryberney723]

Fair play to you docm77, I've always loved the videos where you and anderzel spoke about politics, and this is a very important subject to remember. Respect is key to all human interaction, and unfortunately is often forgotten about.

[@DeadLinux]

Thanks Doc! As always, I appreciate your perspective and your message. Showed the video to my wife, too! Videos that you do like this I always take time to watch when I see them.

[@turkeygrasslesnatch4742]

Your social insight is so wonderful. I love your perspective. You're so wise. Thank you for making this video, Doc.

[@tearlach47]

Wow, I'm just thinking here... If the people who are making these Stolpersteine could find every single soul that became victim to deportation like the few shown in this video... would there be entire sidewalks full of these?...

[@haeuptlingaberja4927]

Projekt Stolpersteine is such a brilliant concept, one of the very best intersections of art, culture, politics and history that was ever conceived of and beautifully executed. The color grabs the eye and cannot be ignored, unlike the other memorials which can so easily be avoided by those who think that the Nazi era was a "Vogelschiss" that happened once and doesn't matter anymore. The fact that the AfD Trottel hate the Stolpersteine so much is the purest proof that this awareness is so crucial and relevant today.

[@therogueadmiral]

wow, thanks doc, this was probably the most interesting and informative vlog I've ever seen, I'm glad you made it. this is an awesome project and I'm glad you took the time to share it with us who knew nothing of it.

[@szettner]

That made me cry. Thank you for making this video. Very important message.

[@kejoki8123]

Partisans like simple boxes--culture in a box, ethnicity in a box, God in a box... It's easy to crumple up and discard any box that becomes "an obstruction." It always seems to me that, eventually, the only boxes partisans like are the boxes they've locked themselves in. It's strange how the small memorials to real human beings are so much simpler than any partisan box, but mean infinitely more. Thank you for making this video, Doc.

[@TheRaggedyDoctor11]

Thanks for doing this doc. Taught me about an amazing practice I had never even heard of. The message is one that really can't be restated enough. Glad you're using your influence for good.

I love documentaries. So a short form doc hosted by doc will always be a win in my book.

[@SILSKY]

Wow! That is a very profound video you made, doc. I just stumbled upon this video by chance, and I'm very glad I did. This has meaning to me. Lately I have been going through some difficulty with friends of mine who no longer want to be my friend because we have different political beliefs. How stupid is that?? I am tired of all the fighting and division. It doesn't matter to me what someone's political beliefs are (or race, gender, religion, etc...). Yes, we are all different in some way. Why do we refuse to get along?? Why am I losing friends because I think differently?? I haven't hurt anyone. I haven't insulted anyone. It's crazy how we are acting towards one another. We see on TV that people are using violence towards other people, and some people are smashing windows, and some people are yelling insults at other people. What do these people think they are accomplishing?? If we don't learn the lesson of "Stolpersteine" we will end up repeating the mistakes of the past.

[@brennaven1]

Well said Doc, and thanks for showing the project. I had no idea this had been done, but it is an amazing way to make people stop and think where this really happened. People tend to think things couldn't have happened in their neighborhoods, so it gives them a sense of distance from tragedy. Having markers at the houses makes one stop and realize that it did happen here and it could happen again if we allow it.

[@rottenrobbie7]

Thanks Doc. I appreciate what you've done here as we're seeing the lessons of that time forgotten by many in North America (I'm Canadian). Very interesting video man, keep em' coming!

[@sharonmount9454]

Evil prevails if good men do nothing. Thank you for sharing you're perception and I totally agree. It reminds me of a lecture I attended by a man, Elie Wiesel. He was speaking to a group of medical and law students. His message was simple, don't forget that people are people and treat them as a living being with a soul. Don't become soulless yourself. Mr. Wiesel survived Auschwitz and Buchenwald. My favorite book he wrote is Night. We should never forget.

[@MatsumuriMedia]

Amazing video. I was just going through some Minecraft videos and getting to know some of the other Hermits... and I find this. I am very thankful that you made and shared this video and I look forward to finding some Stolpersteine on my next trip to Germany next summer. My last trip to Germany included a visit to Dachau. I was shaken for days. We must never forget. Thank you again.

[@eideticex]

Thank you for this Doc, my respect for you has really bolstered. This is the first I've heard of project Stolpersteine and I think now more than ever these sorts of projects are needed. I feel a very deep sympathy for these people that were persecuted simply for being different. I myself have always been very different from those around me and even at one point in my life was persecuted for it in no small way. Almost every genius throughout history faced much the same sort of difference. One has to wonder how many potential Einsteins never got a chance to pursue those curiosities due to the persecution they suffered; what our world would have been like with a whole people of contributions added to the history books.

Doc, this is incredible. Really had no idea about such a project. Of course people in Germany have to find a way to deal with their own history and this I think is a really respectful way to deal with the memories of people who suffered. Things you said and how you said them, this could easily be a BBC documentary. You really should send it to Documentary contests and such. I can see why you did this now, and who you're talking to for the most part. This kind of information is needed these days badly.
