I lost so many of my relatives in Sobibor with names of "Theodor Julich
b. 1859. d. 1942, "Samuel Heumann" b 1858 d.1943, "Regina nee Jacbo
Heumann" b. 1893 d. 1943, "Ruldolf Heumann" b 1893 d. 1943, "Samuel
Heumann" b 1858 d. 1943, "Emma nee Kombert Schubach" b, 1885 (Mulheim)
d. 1942, to name a few . May their memories be a blessing and never
again.
Sorry for your loss and thank you for your names.
@@Ukie88 Thank you. I just found more who died at Sobibor ( and other camps)
Sorry for your loss . So horrible
@@gergemall Thank you.. I have found more of my relatives who went to Sobibor. Most went to Auschwitz, some to Chelmno, Ravensbruck, Dachau, Bergen Belsen, Theresienstadt, Riga, Maly Trostenets and other subcamps
By sharing their names we can help remember them
I was born on October 14, 1943 in St Louis, MO. in a clean hospital with my father and older brother waiting. Sometimes you need a touchstone such as this video to remind yourself what the world was like when you got here.
We forget these stories and I have a bad feeling we are on our way to repeating some of them
In a sense, you are a relic that must be preserved! Let's grab a beer someday! Lol
@@gibbyg2001 He who is ignorant of history....
@@chriscarlone527 That's not the way it works, we all give place to a new generation which "knew not" their history.
@CZcams Supports Paedos & Terrorists I just wish I could explain all this to my children who have known neither real war nor those who bore the battle off WWII.
Clicked this video faster than a war criminal packing for Argentina.
Clicked on this video faster than my ex wife drained my bank account
Brilliant! 😂😂
@@unnamedchannel1237 Awww mate... 😢😢
I clicked on this video as fast as a drunk man on a three day bender whose come home and regrets not doing the dishes before going out and needs educated noise to distract pickled head whilst scraping mould off of the leftover custard and jam from a rather successful trifle making session that impressed all who saw them at a very odd party that started all this.
😂😂
Look up movie with Rutger Hauer "Escape from Sobibor" oldie but goodie!!!
Yes I have watched more than a thousands times.. It's really worth watching.. By the way, am from India..🇮🇳
I’ve watched it a couple of times. What an amazing film.
Saw it on history Channel years ago, back when they were still good and showed historical programming. Really was a good film.
Agreed. Great movie. Rutger Hauer's best performance...
Really, interesting.
Thank you Dr. Felton! I've been with you since 10k subscribers and I'm going nowhere.
My great grandmother's family disappeared in Poland at the end of 41' and as such, no more letters would be received from them here in the states. May the millions like them NEVER be forgotten.
Humankind seeks to erase that which unpleasantly interferes with their schemes and social order. The resurgence of Neo-Nazi and ultra right wing supremacists should become an alarm to all. Remember Hitler's rise to power took many 'sheep' keeping quiet.
Thanks for sharing
@@WarStorieswithMarkFelton You honor them with the retelling of stories of those who suffered similar fates.
My story is much the same... My mothers Polish family. Despite being Catholic, many of the Mazlerz family perished in Majdenek
😭
Dr. Mark Felton is a true Master at non-fictional 'storytelling.' With the intelligence, wit and lucidity this man brings to his fascinating subject, I am slave to every video he produces. I can only think that I would have been a better student in school had I ever been a student in one of Dr. Felton's classes. Bravo, Sir! Keep the excellent videos coming, please!
He's pretty stuck up to and you just made it worse.
@@horstebreedow8608 Have you met him?
@@wessexdruid5290 one has eyes and powers of deduction based on things as grammar and greed.
@@horstebreedow8608 So that would be a no, then. Your assumption (and English) say more about you.
I remember the TV movie of the Sobibor breakout. Brilliant film. Scared the crap out of me in some scenes. I'm glad you have done Sobibor breakout Mark.
Yes, I just watched it
YES! It was an excellent movie
It’s available on YT and I’m going to download it even though I’ve seen it many times. The character Wagner really came across as an evil bastard.
Watched it after Rutger Hauer’s death.
I live in Jamaica, I remember the TV movie back in the 1980's and I never saw it again but as I listen to the series it all came back to me.
Sacha , a real man, a real leader, sadly few and far between in this weird world of 2021.
STEP into his shoes Rule 303.
TRAIN train train.
Yawn.
Green haired candy-asses
he is always a rare man in any time period, stop glorifying the past lol. it's profoundly illogical
@@homefront3162 You're a troll, right? You'd have to be to write nonsense.
when you hear that music and see Mark's face you know you're in for something good, and quite possibly something you've never heard of
Mark, I'm very excited to listen to this series. Many years ago as a Teenager, we regularly attended a Church which had a weekly potluck where Missionaries and other interesting speakers from all over the world spoke regularly. The Pastor was one of those people who somehow knew people all over the world. One night Toivi Blatt spoke, and it really made an impression on me. I also bought and read one of his books about the escape. Thanks for reviewing this little known but important chapter of WWII history.
Awesome story! I too purchased Thomas's book, Incredibles read!
Movie , was pretty accurate to the book. Curious, what denomination Church did Thomas show up at?
@@billmers3219 It was a Baptist Church in WA State. Not sure exactly how he ended up speaking at the church that night, but the Pastor had been all over the world and had also been a Missionary in the Sudan for 17 years, I believe in the 1960/70s. He seemed to know people from everywhere.
@@billmers3219 Didn't know the Body of Christ has denominations.. Eph 4:4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.
Didn't know there was more than one church...
It would be interesting to hear about Soviets and Stalin’s crimes against humanity during WW2.
@@dand4485 thank you for that, very warming to know there is you in this world!
What a cliffhanger! Can't wait for the next episode.
Spoiler: there's an 80s movie and a remake out there.
@@ottovonbismarck2443 The remake sucks. The 80's movie is way better.
@@rodolfo5022 I'd rather listen to Mark than watch the movies
@@SensitiveEvent Likely to be a lot more factually correct !
@@SensitiveEvent I'm not comparing the movies with Mark. Read my comment again.
Finally. I've seen both films of the Sobibor Revolt and this is the icing on the cake.
Both? I saw a British movie from the 80s, what's the other one? I thought the one I saw was the only one
@@steventhompson399
Sobibor is the title. On Amazon Prime Video. It's a foreign film so no english. Very great film.
11:15
The remake is terrible
There is an 80s movie with the great Rutger Hauer as the Russian Lieutenant. Great movie. Don't know if the movie on Amazon is worth it. From my experience, remakes are usually never up to standards.
The story of sobbibor is a saddening yet such an inspiring one. When people had nothing they found everything in it to fight, incredible.
I always thought Sobibor's story was very uplifting on the face of the rest of the horror. A Ray of hope.
Some Israelis newspapers says that camps were Polish thats total bullshit.
@@takasmaka820 never read that, please give me a link or something.
@@nemesis1291 I smell shite
the only ones who decided to not be cattle. a rare feat for humanity.
@@takasmaka820 just goes to show how mentally inferior some ppl really are.
Even though I know (because of my armature's interest in history) how this story goes, I can not get enough of Dr. Felton's story telling and ability to communicate history. One of the top, if not the top, historians on CZcams.
Thank you Dr. Felton for your history channels. Also thank you for creating videos on here that will help even more people to appreciate history.
"...and pick up a Luger. It felt solid in his hand."
"The rations given are satisfactory." Wow.
Wow
If you were familiar with German "cuisine" you would understand.
@@raphaelklaussen1951 😆🤣😂
After all he had already been through, wow, indeed.
the 1911 .45 feels even more solid
Yeo Thomas (a British spy) said to his interrogator "I don't know anything and even if I did I wouldn't tell you " his treatment was brutal in the extreme including pliers on his genitals (you all can imagine that type of torture ) he is my hero of WW2 in a world of this type of brutality and I implore you to Google his defiance! Another brilliant upload from our local friendly Mr Felton! !!
I believe he was known as "the white rabbit".
He was awarded the George Cross, I believe. Richly deserved!
@@madmeerkat1158 an excellent book, read it if you get the chance.
And google the Norwegian who said No. (Nej!)
@@madmeerkat1158 yes he was
As always you are the Best story teller can’t wait for #2. Thank You Sir Mark. 🏴🇬🇧🇺🇸
Thanks for this, Dr. Felton. Saw the movie ages ago, and it piqued my curiosity about this.
The story of the recently discovered Sobibor photo album is an interesting story. The photo album of the death camp was vergoten but survived because it's owner, the ss officer on the horse, got killed and his personal effects were bundled up and sent to his next of kin who stashed it away for 80 years.
Has it been made public yet? If so.. where?
@@lornestein7248 The photos in this story are from it. Google Sobibor album and hit images. The most sinister is the pic of the front gate with the SS + Swastika flags and 'SS Sonderkommando' above the entrance.
@@edwardd9702 there's only like 5 images mixed in with 10 thousand word essays reiterating how bad murder is for the nth time. I wanna see the whole album
@@BichaelStevens i agree
That's gotta be a little awkward knowing that one has some of the last and final relics of Sobibor.
My great grandparents went thru buchenwald then aucshwitz so it's always nice to learn new camp stories! Thanks Mark! Also they passed only in the last 5-10 yrs!
My grandfather was an SS guard at auschwitz 😞
@@thomassbulivan6352 nah he did not
I use to work in an English airport hotel. AND one occasion on the bar, I served a German man & his son. The son looked quite young ie
@@thomassbulivan6352 😮
wow they made it out huh
Wow thank you for the history lesson that i was not taught in school
CRT will be taught now
I can’t wait for part 2, thank you so much for a great, not boring history lesson
I can’t wait for the next instalment. Thank you for your work, as always, Dr. Felton.
This is fantastic! Standing by for part 2!
Again, Dr. Felton has reached out within these past hours, again offering knowledge, insight and escape. This time, from Sobibor...
i usually binge watch any series to avoid cliffhangers!!! Now i must remain on the edge of my seat waiting for your next upload!!! Thank and damn you Dr. Felton!!! !:-)
Best on the Webs 🏆
👌🙏🖖💜😽
Thank you Mark. I really really love your vids. You are so incredible and you're so talented
Very interesting Doc. I haven't heard this particular story before and am really looking forward to episode 2. Thank you.
An excellent publication ... as always! I have watched many of your documentary styled videos. They are, not only extremely interesting, but also presented so well. I look forward to part 2!
Dr Felton I am self proclaimed skeptic. But your channel and your reports of the past events of world war two leave me speechless. I am amazed at how you report each story with such faithfulness to the truth.The tone and expression of your voice in how you explain what happened has had me glued to my chair on several occasions. I want to say thank you for your commitment to our history.You honestly stand above your field of study as a great teacher.
Incredible detailed description of the events. I of course did not know of this but thanks to the best historian alive I do. But oh what a place to stop for the second part! I’ll be checking twice every day for the next installment. I must say sir that I feel privileged to learn from you.
Posted just as I finished my chores for the day. Perfect timing. Thanks Dr. Felton!
Thank you for your efforts and time in showing this
Well done. Can hardly wait to see part 2
This is great! I can't wait for part 2!
This was fantastic! Great work!!
Great work Mark. Its a pleasure to learn from your documentaries.
I love this channel, please don't ever stop making these
Very good 👍
Can't wait for the second part
Superb channel you have here Mark, thank you !
Fantastic! Can't wait for Part 2
Don't leave us with this cliff hangar!!!! I'll forget the story in such detail in a couple days.... Excellent as always Mark. 🙏
A classic Mark Felton production absolutely brilliant !
Mark! This is quality. Thank you!
Always informative and educational, thank you.
This is incredibly revealing for many who have not been exposed to this aspect of camp life.
We must never forget. Excellent as usual Dr. Felton
I’m
What an incredible story. Thank you Dr. Felton...
I've been waiting for this video for what seems like a lifetime. Thank you Mr Felton!
I think he needs a knighthood
@@unnamedchannel1237 I agree
Mr. Feldon, when I come across an audio only video I get ready for a bike ride.. Thanks again, I seen the movie with Rutger Haur from years ago and was picturing scenes as you spoke.. Great job..
Fantastic story so far! Would love to hear more like these
Great job Dr. Felton....as always.
I've been waiting ages for this one!
Escape from sobibor aired as a movie on CBS in the 80s...it was sponsored by Chrysler motors.
The finest Corinthian leather from Lee Iacocca.
@@IvorMektin1701I was 6 or 7 year old kid but I remember that series , my father was a fan of him and told how he was a immigrant that came here and became a executive at chrysler. A true inspiration for anyone.
Ford and General Motors noped out.
@@timeandnourishment1961 GOOD thing Ford didn't do it, with the track record of Henry Ford's evil racist Antisemitism, & admiration & support of Hitler.
I remember that movie. The scene where the inmates are surging against the barbed wire, seeking to be free, brought tears to my eyes, symbolic not only for their desire, but for all people yearning to be free of oppression.
Great job as usual Dr. Mark! Thanks for keeping these stories;as painful as they are,alive. May God grant you and your family a long and prosperous life!
Great episode! Well done! As soon as you mentioned Sacha I got the image of Rutger Hauer from the 1987 movie Escape from Sobibor in my head.
Thoroughly gripping, I very much anticipate the conclusion.
Yes! I Have Been Waiting For This!
Hello Dr Felton, I showed my 97 year old father your channel 2 weeks ago and he absolutely love it. He was at Milne Bay in 1941/1942. Another great video.
Brilliant video Mark!
Most of the monsters who did this were teachers, shopkeepers, factory workers and clerks before they descended into savages. Terrifying.
Love all your videos...thank you for sharing ❤
on the edge of my seat for episode 2!!
I read tbe book and it's an amazing story. The courage it took to pull this off and the planning was incredible. Thank you for featuring this story again.
Superb, as usual. Bravo!
I saw the film about sobibor, that to this day is the darkest film I've ever seen, but glad that history allowed the revolt to be successful.
Thank you for sharing this story.
Oh man, I can't wait until the next episode!
A very detailed story.
Thanks for helping with remembering the past.
May it help preventing the same in the future.
Thank you Professor Felton! ❤
Presented with such perfection, it’s as if you’re inventing a story yourself to tell. Tragically, this was true to life. Thank you for your work, and I hope this keeps alive the memory of these people, and serves as a warning to what man can become if allowed to swear fealty to a demagogue
Cancel culture is to busy canceling history
Very well written Dr. Felton.
Very informative.
Great Story, already hooked for part 2.
You present a very knowledgeable documentary. Thank you!
How have I not heard this before? This is amazing.
Always Mark getting the best and continue number one,
What a tease. Can't wait for the conclusion.
A wonderful piece of WWII history, thank you Mark!
Terrible, frighful, horrifying might be more suitable descriptions. Imagine the horrible lives these prisoners had to endure and their desperation running across a minefield, under fire, to attempt to wrest back their freedom.
i love your channel so much.
Great show, you are Genius.
cant wait for the next one
Mark Felton was born for this.
I've watched the movie but this is way better because you get to see the actual culprits in flesh. Thanks Mark Felton for another enjoyable and knowledgeable video. Your awesome 👌
One reason those times continue to fascinate us, I believe, is that unlike today, it was very clear who the bad guys were.
wouldnt have been so clear back then, hindsight is 20/20
@@battleb0ng420
Really? People who lock other people up (for no reason other than race) then gas them to death and burn the bodies is ambiguous to you?
The uncomfortable facts are that the Nazis were definitely bad, but they were far from alone…
Thanks very much...Waiting
Looking forward to the next part.
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Can't wait for episode 2!!!!
Thank you for telling these important truths.
What a serious insight this channel is. I mean stories like this bring the madness in prespective. Today were aproching the madness again. Its said 2 generations is what it takes to forget the lessons of the past. Here we are
An incredible story, it’s kind of a shame more of the Camp doesn’t exist for future generations to see.
They are too fragile
You dropped this king 👑
ARGHHH! Cliff hanger, lol. I’m sooo anxious to hear part 2! 😃
Thankyou mr Felton
I've seen a film about this which was very moving and inspiring in a way. My goodness, imagine the bravery of those people!! Imagine how it must have felt to finally fight back against the animals who had been their captors and tormentors.
#MarkFelton, like always, excellent content and I don't mean this subject in particular, but in general. You, sir, never disappoint and give us in-depth commentary and info or history that is not easy for a lot of people to recall or remember or want to acknowledge. Hence, 'Those that don't learn from history, are doomed to repeat it'.
200k subscribers. Well done Mark.
Nice vid!
What is on the Sobibor site today? As a youngster, I had a neighbor whose father and brother perished there in WWII.
These camps were demolished and attempts made to hide the murders. Too many had escaped to be successful.
There’s zilch there, you see a few burial pits in the woods, an old wooden toilet by the church on the road, the small visitor centre museum. The buildings around the railway track where you see old pics with soldiers etc etc.
You can always use Google maps & Google Street-View.
It's all there.
