These Holocaust videos are NOT educational. They come across as if they are being made by teenagers who read one chapter of a textbook that talked about it.

I'm German. Where I'm from history lessons in school were about the Holocaust 90% of the time. No one thought they were being brought into a special room. Everyone there knew what would happen(, unless they're like 4). Not EVERY fucking person was brought into Auschwitz. Not EVERYONE there was Jewish. These kids know like 2 things about the Holocaust and try to spread awareness, and for what? Imo it would've been different to maybe talk about how American politics right now have a lot of things in common with German politics back then. Raise awareness about how just because it has been Germany's mistake, doesn't mean that America cannot learn from it (bc rn it doesn't seem like they did). But no, you wanted to make a TikTok about how pretty you are so you thought "The Nazis would rape me, right? Like I'm hot, right?" Anyway this made me really mad. And if you actually want to watch something that explores the social circumstances surrounding this topic in recent times I recommend the movie "Die Welle". It's not a documentary, it's an actual movie which engages the viewer into critical thinking about todays environment and imo is suitable for young teenagers.

I think a lot of it stems from them being so young and possibly not knowing too much about the Holocaust, whether due to our education system or just sheer ignorance, or possibly both. To them it probably seems like something that happened so long ago (even though it really wasn’t) that they don’t understand the true weight of the topic (not meant to defend these tiktoks just a possible explanation) I’m an American and, while I learned a decent bit about WWII and the holocaust in school, the weight of it all didn’t really set in until I actually visited the Dachau concentration camp, or what’s currently left of it anyway. That experience alone was enough to make me realize the true horrors and evil that took place during that time.

ehh, I might be wrong but I still think that would be insensitive. I'm sure there's already some Anne Frank ones out there but it just doesn't need to be done. leave it to respectful documentary-makers if it must be; there's no reason to do it really, aside from attention or wanting praise. you probably can't get all the details right, you don't know their life from birth to death as you did not know them personally, that person has no say and wanted to be more than a shoddy reenactment for views, and reducing such serious matters to a Tik Tok skit just seems in poor taste. it's very different than someone writing a fictional book or educating people at length in a YT video because of the nature of the app, and this type of approach being tone deaf at best, at least imo.

[@MiruKado]

washedblue true point, I was just thinking if it was done in a similar way to an old school project of mine. We had to do a character/event profile but keep it historically accurate, the look of the project could be like an Instagram profile or Pokémon card but the information had to be legit and well-done. Personally, I ended up learning a lot about WW2 doing that assignment but out of context and class, it could look pretty insensitive as hell.

@@NinjaWBS the fact people can read about it and are taught about it doesnt prevent some from denying it

[@NinjaWBS]

@@stevenb2215 not much better than warping the issue into a attention grab scheme? Again, don't give people an out. It's distasteful and belittles the gravitas of what happened.

[@Morgan-Wesley-Parker]

I think it was on Twitter I saw someone sharing one about 9/11, it was a guy and said something like “the last thing I saw was a plane” or some shit, gross.

[@sammaxwell8546]

My grandfather, Cool - Lish (How it’s pronounced) grew up in occupied Hungary. At sixteen or seventeen, he escaped through the appalachian mountains because his family was apprehended (I forget why) . Anyway, I don’t see him making TicTok videos.

Corona-chan has merely unlocked mankind's *true* potential. Welp time to lose hope in humanity again.

[@lcrn6288]

At first I thought this was going to be like jokes or something but no. This is apparently just people saying “I died from Aushwitz”. Who even came up with this?

[@blacksunshine7122]

It's some kind of trauma fantasy.

[@Porky40]

I can feel my brain cells floating away

[@capybara6972]

im ashamed to be in the same generation as these people on tiktok

[@skelly1004]

The reason why this trend is so large is because school just started back up and kids are just starting to learn about the holocaust.

[@firelinksshrine1695]

No one cancels this but make a joke 10 years ago and it's suddenly a major issue that needs to be corrected.

[@dannydamnmendez]

As long as it doesn't happen to them

[@haileyjohnson8154]

I haven’t seen this trend yet tik tok, thank goodness but on my for you page I saw something almost as insensitive. As Chadwick Boseman the late actor has just died, some person took it on themself to record a video themselves dancing slow mo and striking poses to a song on the Black Panther movie soundtrack. 😐 they thought that was a good dedication. Cringely slow mo walking in place to a song in his name.

[@undergroundcosplays2652]

There's a new thing where some users on tiktok are putting up "jump scare" videos, with a real, not fake, 100 PERCENT REAL, video of a man committing not alive- It's disturbing and not ok- they have been using the stitch feature to make it seem like an innocent cat video, or other things then boom trauma.

[@genevievemeuniere4047]

I think what annoys me more that all these teens know only about Auschwitz like there where concentration Camps all over the place.

[@Thatmetalhead-6]

I'm German and Russian, seeing these people bringing up the past of Germany this way pisses me off, the past is the past you don't need to reinact it smh, especially like this!

[@poe1038]

TikTok sollte gelöscht und vergessen werden.

[@StuntedJubJub]

Immediately after the first tik tok, it cut to a hamburger sizzling in a frying pan and I thought it was a bad joke...but no...it was a KZbin Ad for Tik Tok of a guy frying a hamburger.

[@amoralexandria3071]

I think it’s time for the Final Solution to the Tik Tok question

[@whereami2700]

This makes me ashamed to be a teenager. I hate that my age is associated with this group of absolute troglodylic cretins. Atleast I would never do this.

[@smolcrabbo]

And we're supposed to be the superior race... Humanity just needs a reset.

[@metallicmaiden409]

I'm usually disgusted by tiktok bc of the cringy teens, but this is just absolutely ridiculous and insensitive How did they manage to come up with something as awful as that? What did they think was gonna happen?

[@tylerdixon6500]

I was nervous laughing throughout this entire video

[@gmaccc2420]

You know If we make a petition to bad tictok, and show this as a reason, trust me it'll be banned in 24hr's

[@sourpatchkid394]

These people should be ashamed.. so out of touch. I think a lot of kids don’t have any strife or hardships. So they’re pretending They have no respect. They just want attention. They have no parents educating them or shaming them.

[@catchifyoucan232]

When I have my headphones on and the volume all the way up, I swear I can hear something in the background. 9:40-10:00, for example. Around 9:54 I swear I hear a little girl. 11:53, you can really hear it.

[@nicholas.alan85]

It’s their family in the background

Damn I remember hetalia. Making me cringe and feel nostalgic. Maybe I'll watch it again

[@space.captain.yuri2005]

[@parasitic.worm.]

I've seen it, people are pretending to be people who died on 9/11, we truly have devolved

[@rascal8902]

shout out to the people that get here as soon as they get notified, and then like the video before even watching 👏👏 true heroes and fans GG

[@dougthedonkey1805]

How about you don’t comment stuff like this

[@mayam.235]

Maybe people have a life outside of youtube (not me, but that's besides the point). Also I feel like liking the video before watching is weird and unnessaccary. There isn't a time limit for liking the video.

[@dougthedonkey1805]

@I live in my mom's basement they’re just trying to get attention because they feel special for being one of the first people

[@tsukurikata774]

"Imagine them doing this but with 9/11 victims..." Hmmm.

[@winterycold]

The fact that one person makes the dumb mistake of making one of these videos and others see them and think of joining that trend is beyond me.

[@sickboy703]

Is this some edgy new "Trump is Hitler" thing? Or am I overthinking this?

[@aronkriekle8612]

These spoiled kids grew up never knowing hard times and are trying to do something meaningful. but its just Bad! Thank you for showing me all this cringeworthy acting! We need to send them all back to school... Right Now!

[@hagelslag9312]

I like how they all are still in perfect make up and hair though. Stay classy!

Every time you think you saw the absolute lowest gutter trash Tik Tok can create, they find a way to surprise you
