My husband and I toured Dachau in 2005. It was a very eerie place. The exhibits were incredibly moving and made one very aware of the extent of the human suffering endured during that time. It’s unfortunate that in some places today, “Never Forget” has become ignored and denied.

@@BillyConnor-q6m My husband is from the Netherlands and after the war, one of his uncles married a Polish concentration camp survivor. She knew that her entire family were murdered in the camp and she had no relatives left. She wouldn’t talk about her time in the camp and she denied remembering anything that happened there. My husband said that she was a wonderful woman but she became an alcoholic and died relatively young. My husband’s family were all Christians and he didn’t know if his aunt was Jewish but he thought she was. I knew a German Jewish woman and a Polish Jewish woman in the early 1980s. They got out with their immediate families before the war broke out but neither one had any extended family left in Germany or Poland. The Polish woman had all four walls in her family room covered in framed family photos of all of the family that died in the camps. It’s hard to imagine that your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings, cousins, and childhood friends were all murdered in concentration camps and all you had left of them were photographs and memories. Yet there are those who still deny the holocaust happened.

Thank you for your service and sacrifice sir. ❤ We must never forget. One of my managers in the 80’s was a Polish Jew who had been a prisoner in Auschwitz with his twin brother. They somehow managed to escape the camp, making their way to England, and then to the US. I have no idea what they went through just to survive. He was a difficult person to work with and at times seemed lost in memories, confusing the present with the past not able to differentiate between us and the n*zi’s of his past. He was clearly tormented. We all knew his history and did our best let it slide, but there were times one or the other of us would go off on break just steaming in anger over something he’d say or do. Probably today he’d be diagnosed with C-PTSD and help would be available.

A German guard helped her escape as he had a daughter the same age . Her uncle offer him his pocket watch but he refused it and helped her any way. She had the tattoo on her arm etc. She used to rub dirt on teeth and on her hair to make herself less appealing. She went back to find the guard after the war to thank him. But he had been shot by the comandr as he found out he had helped her , but she thanked his family . She changed her name to become more English as any one with any accent was treated with suspicion bless her heart told me this whole story one day when the salon was empty I had dibe her hair at least 6 years and next time I did her hair she never mentioned it again

There were many German soldiers who hated what Hitler and the Nazis were doing. If they didn't follow orders they were killed. Sometimes their entire family would be killed in front of him, before the soldier was shot. Nazis were savages.

I had a customer who told me she was the only survivor of her family, but in the middle time, before all of the family were taken, that a German soldier would sneak to her family, who were starving, a few eggs each week and that kept them alive She was just a litte girl then. It's sad the world can make ordinary good people do such evil.

[@xmmx9909]

I recently watched a WW2 documentary and learned there were good German soldiers who refused to torture/rape/kill and were punished for not being "patriotic." Many more hesitated but did what was ordered. In preserved documents, generals and military doctors discussed starting mechanisms to improve morale of those saddened/affected by the killing of women and children. I'm not German and learning this was a relief for me it showed not everyone supported Hitler.

[@karlrovey]

​@xmmx9909 Some of the Werhmacht officers had even been imprisoned for opposing Hitler prior to the war. Organist and composer Jan Bender (notably, the only known student of Higo Distler, who was killed in the war) wound up as a conscripted officer in the Werhmacht, but had been jailed prior to the war on suspicion of sabotaging an organ prior to a church service that was supposed to honor the Nazi party. He wrote his first collection of music in a POW camp at the end of the war.

We need to continue to teach this in school. It should never be forgotten.

[@musictheoryforeveryone7938]

Unfortunately, if we teach this in schools, the students these days might think it is a good idea. In order to prevent these atrocities from occurring again, students and society must first believe there is a God, who Created us, loves us so much that He was willing to die on a Roman cross. Unfortunately, society’s foundational principles are, there is no God, evolution produced us by random forces, humans are their own gods and we can do whatever we want with no repercussions. It’s that simple actually! The German concentration camps were the direct result of theory of evolution and American Eugenics, which by the way, American Eugenics developed into Planned Parenthood and abortion on demand up to the time of birth and then some, which led to the murder of 60 million babies just in the U.S. since Roe V Wade was decided by the Supreme Court in 1973. This background should be enough evidence for why the Supreme Court sent Roe V Wade back to the states to individually decide. That said, no one talks about abortion in its entirety. Sex out of marriage is a world standard yet we think of sex as simple recreational activities. The baby must never be held responsible for its bad behavior. That said, an abortion may be necessary when a baby is deformed and has little chance of survival during the pregnancy or after birth. Genetics are wonderful and also cruel. One never knows the results. That said, the goal should never be to have only perfectly formed babies. Then, we truly are playing God with other people’s lives. After all, none of us are perfect. Right?

What I don't understand is why Poland didn't raise up against Germany. And liberate Auschwitz? Because Auschwitz was in Poland. They could have formed an Elite fighting group. Plus, Germany was fighting in many conflicts. Their forces were thin. German population 1932: 66 mil. Poland's population 1931: 32 mil. In 1935, Germany army had about 550k-2mil troops. Therefore, you mean to tell me that Poland couldn't muster up the troops to wage a counter war against Germany? Germany is not going to send in planes because the bombs would harm their own troops. Also; The time it took to travel by train from Germany to Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland varied, but the average transport took about four days. The longest transport of the war was from Corfu and took 18 days. Therefore, why wasn't that transport interrupted along the way?, Germany couldn't place troops at every mile of track. Also, the Polish people knew the landscape and terrain better than Germany. The Germany-Poland border is about 290 mi. It stretches from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Czech Republic in the south. What that means is there is plenty of opportunity to attack from different places. And that includes the border, the railroad tracks. Also. You want to cut off the supply lines to Auschwitz. And then negotiate the release of the prisoners, unharmed. Yep, the German soldiers can eat when they release X amount of POW's. And again.....unharmed. Fighting without fighting means fighting on your terms, not theirs. You need a plan to render your opponents helpless without engaging in their idea of the battle. It takes both planning and resolve to ensure you don't sink to your opponent's level.

Do yourself a favor and never google into what they believe. I had done full dives into every conspiracy theory I could find. After finding out theory was a gross understatement to so many different ideas I got mad and started looking into the "we faked the moon landing people" Obviously that was wrong so it should be able to disprove. I found some arguments compelling so I said screw it, gonna look into the deniers beliefs because they are categorically wrong and there is no way to deny. The legit first sentence I heard from the deniers was that they don't deny it happened. The term h*****st denier is a slur used to ridicule and denounce people so that they aren't believed. It actually has nothing to do with what they say or believe.

[@SMGJohn]

Most people do not even understand how big the killing machine of Germany even was, people keep saying "only 6 million perished" yet the real actual number is 27 million in total. You know the Germans had tens of thousands of smaller camps all over Europe. They had these converted box trucks that they called "gas trucks" you can imagine what that was used for. Not to mention the SS would march bunch of people into the woods, force then to dig and then put them in that grave. For over 8 years this plan of theirs was in motion with the last 4 years being at its peak. That is not even mentioning the 21 million Soviet civilians they butchered.
