Filming and photographing is allowed throughout the camp except for the "room of hair" which I did not film out of respect for the people who suffered a great deal at this place. There are multiple signs showing "no flash photography" because this is not only disruptive and rude towards the people paying their respect but it also alters the items coloring over time. You can go to the website below and see it says on their website what is and isn't allowed to be filmed:
auschwitz.org/en/press/filming...
My regular vlogs are very happy and positive but this one is very different... I've always wanted to go visit auschwitz to see it for myself. I brought my camera with me so I could share this experience with people who wish to go see this place one day as well. Its a difficult thing to do but I believe it is necessary.

My channel is not a history channel. I am just a fitness vlogger who shares my day to day life as well as experiences. I was not expecting this video to get so many views, it was actually my lowest viewed video for awhile. I only documented it because it meant a lot to me personally. I still watch it from time to time for myself and I’m grateful I can do that. I did not monetize this video nor do I make money from it. Photography and videography is allowed throughout the camps (except for the room of hair) but flash photography is not allowed due to it being distracting. I’ve received the most disturbing comments on this video..so much anger and hate….but I’ve also had a lot of you reach out with kindness, love, and share your experiences going there. To those of you who are kind, I appreciate you.🥺❤️ Since uploading this video I’ve also had quite a few teachers reach out and express their appreciation for the video…Since it’s a “vlog style” video, it has helped capture the attention of younger students who will actually listen/watch.🙏

Thank you for putting this up. A lotta folks these days are too keen to ignore history, especially its darker aspects like the Nazi regime's war crimes just because it doesn't give you that feel-good dopamine as other content does. So it's fantastic that you'd make something like this even if it's not your usual type of vlog. Videos like this is just as important as the all the documentaries filmed and books written to make sure humanity doesn't repeat its mistakes.

My great-grandparents and their youngest two children were murdered in Auschwitz. My grandmother was a concentration camp survivor, she was in a satellite camp of Groß-Rosen called Gabersdorf which was in Czechoslovakia. She of course had the tattoo on her arm. She never ever accepted what happened. How could she? Her PTSD was immense and intense. Just a year or so before she passed away, she went to Auschwitz for the first time in her life and lit a candle for our murdered family. I hope she is in a better place now- the world was such an evil place for her and she had such a horrific life for such a beautiful, wonderful woman. She's my absolute hero. On two occasions I have supposed to go to visit Auschwitz but both times dreadfuls things happened to stop me going, very bizarre- it's almost as though I'm never to visit, I personally believe it would f**k me up big time as I already suffer from intergenerational trauma from my grandmothers experiences.

It's not "wilful ignorance"; I would categorize it as 'malicious ignorance' propagated with the sole intention of achieving the following: 1. get a reaction 2. Bring about hurt and pain 3. Bask in the thrall of their purile peers. The best response to such kind of people is to just slyly smile at them. And tell them to believe whatever they want to believe if it brings pangs of joy to their hearts and their kin because, well, free will and all that entitles them to think/believe what they want to. Whatever else you do, please do not get angry because that is what they want to see. And seeing you in that state is their raison d'etre, so to speak.

You seemed to have a way of connecting with youth and give an updated perspective to understand the horror that humanity went through and so that we may never forget.

I always think “this is it, now they will stop” but as it is, sometimes people cross all their limits, Nazis proved they were inhumane and monsters. I cried watching this video and it makes me feel horrible of what actually happened there. Nothing can be worst then this. I am studying the Nazi Germany chapter for my history lesson and now each and everything that happened with innocent Europeans haunts me in my dreams. Knowing very well, millions of people were murdered here and for no reason makes me feel angry and unlimited hatred towards all those who participated in it without any regret and shame. I feel sad and upset when I think of all those who had to go through it. There was no Humanity in Hitler’s rule. It was just power and evilness. I still don’t understand the concept of Hitler’s hatred. Everyone have a strong reason of hating someone, cause hate is in itself a very strong word. But his hatred had no reason. It is still not clear to me how the hell he said “they are not worthy of living”, this in its own was horrible. It made feel sad. Hats off to you for video taping everything and showing this to us. Not everyone will have , including me the courage to step in there as everything I read would revolve in my mind like a flashback as if I am living in that time. Even then you explained everything that happened and told your experience. I salute everyone who had to resist the Holocaust. Once again Thankyou.

As a child growing up in Vacaville California and attending church regularly in the early 1960s there were members of our congregation who were Holocaust concentration camp survivors, many who were prominent members of our community. I learned about the ugly reality's of the Holocaust at an early age because it was being taught in school about the horrors of WWll. I had the honor to meet many military veterans of that war who shared their stories with me of their experiences. My late uncle, "my mom's Elder brother" who was a army medic in WWll towards the end of the war. His unit liberated and assisted in medical treatment and humanitarian aid to the wrongly incarcerated prisoners at Dachau on April 29 1946. Horrors there were just unbelievable. Dachau was the first and longest running camp inside Germany.

I agree that we need to learn about it but I'm not sure about saying people should be grateful for what we have. Too often that phrase is used to get people to accept things as they are and discourage them from making changes. The world is in a terrible place right now, the planet is burning, the divide between rich and poor is widening, the pandemic is still killing people (especially clinically vulnerable people) and those who speak out are told they need to be grateful for what they have. You can appreciate what you have while also saying that things need to be better.

As a German this is a mandatory class trip for everyone, I went to two or three camps I think when I was younger. Seeing you vlog this experience with such grace and historic curiosity made me respect you even more so than I already did for your bubbly but honest fitness videos. When you wondered why some rooms were allowed to be seen I thought to myself how we often show the most ugly truths in order to have them be remembered. So they are not so much shown for sensational reasons but to educate and have people grasp the whole disturbing truth and danger that lies within regimes and hateful humans. It is to make you painfully aware what people are capable of and to remind you to stand up for the people that need your help and power. To never make this happen again. Now, at a time where right wing parties are on a rise all over the world I am even more so grateful for someone like you to share this as people will be more receptive to your experience there rather than a finger in the air know it all teacher figure. Thank you again.
