In memory of Elisabeth “ Betsie” Ten Boom, prisoner number 66729, resident of Baracks 28. She was the elder sister of Corrie Ten Boom. Betsie died in Ravensbruck 12-16-1944. Her sister, Corrie was also with her at Ravensbruck. She was released due to a clerical error. After her release, all women her age were sent to the gas chambers.
😢❤😢
Love Corrie Ten Boom’s book “The Hiding Place”, in which she writes about her and Betsy’s experiences in Ravensbrook. They were brave Christians who helped save Jewish lives in Holland.
Sounds dutch
@@Thug-12Na Yes!
@@theabrescia1955 never heard from her im dutch
We are privileged to hear these brave women speak ❤
Somehow the horror of Ravensbruck is lost on modern man. We must ALWAYS remember.
"Never again " but not if you are Palestinians !

t as it's not who did it no handed down sins of past generations. It will just be a different group. A
Yes and support Israel
We all know society don't give a fuk about women that's why it's being lost
But see: Donald Trump’s call for “a unified reich.”
A close cousin of mine discovered that a very distant (and previously unknown) cousin was shot in Ravensbruck. Her name was Lilian Rolfe and she was a member of the Special Operations Executive.
Having been parachuted into France, she worked with the French Resistance as a radio operator sending information to England. Sadly she was betrayed to and arrested by the Gestapo, who sent her to Ravensbruck. On the day of her execution, she was led out with Violette Szabo and Denise Bloch. Lilian was unable to walk & had to be carried. Denise had gangrene. They were all shot in the back of the head execution-style.
A small group of us from our side of the family were able to visit Ravensbruck and enabled to lay flowers at the memorial there to these three brave women.
The SOE (special operations executive or Churchills secret army) were beyond brave ppl should watch the movie “carve her name with pride”. About Violet Sabo (forgive me if I spelled her name wrong) wonderful movie
Agreed - it’s an amazing film starring Virginia McKenna who was brilliant as Violette Szabo.
Amazing women sorry I spelled Violette Szabo wrong 🥹
RIP brave souls
Seems this tactic of shooting innocent prisoners in the back of the head has been revived by the IDF. Only days ago hundreds of Palestinian bodied were dug up inside the grounds of a large hospital in Gaza. Many of the victims were found to have their hands bound behind their backs and shot point blank in the back of the head. Other bodies still had hospital garb on and others were still attached to drip feeds. Same atrocities just a different gang of thugs perpetrating them.
I have to say that anyone that survived one of the concentration camps, is a very strong person. I feel bad for what these ladies had to endure. I listened to a lot of videos on the concentration camps and the horrors that were going on, but this shows the depth of depravity and violence that was committed. I still can’t wrap my head around all of this.
Well, I don't think it's just strength that helped them. Sure enough - having some flesh on your bones might have helped to fend off disease, but just dumb luck was also a big factor I'm afraid....😢😢
Andree de Jongh leader of The Comet line the Belgium evasion line survived Ravensbruck along with Andree Dumon another member of The Comet Line who is still alive at 101. Both these incredible brave women never gave a thing away to their interrigators. Their bravery must never be forgotten. The Comet Line got over 800 Allied airman back to the UK.
They are beyond heroines
I will never understand how those people could have such hate in their hearts to torture people. Babies, children, teens , adults elderly. It sickens & saddens me.
My sincere condolences & love to all the survivors, the people who passed & the people who were murdered, you will never be forgotten 💜🌻🌻
Corrie Ten Boom talked a little about this in her books and video's ,having experienced the horror of Ravensbruck with her sister Betsie who died there. I applaud the documentary makers of this film, and Sarah Helm for her research. It was a hard film to watch because it really happened. Have we learned anything regarding the outcome of hatred, whether as a world of humans or individuals ,that has made us look to becoming a gentler , caring world? Torture continues, children and women suffer the world over as they are trafficked, forced into slavery, anti-semitism continues and is increasing, and it seems most of the world looks the other way. By our silence we are guilty.
This has to be the ONE camp I didn’t even know about. Very enlightening. My heart goes out to all the women who suffered at the hands of these PSYCHOS
There were about 45000 camps ! Not all were death camps
Of course not because it was run by lesbians. It would make the 🏳️🌈 look bad
This was a hard one to watch. I did out of respect to the children that lived and died in that hell hole. It takes hope and courage and the will to live. I sat and watched this with a bad tooth ache. At the end of this video I realized that when the end came I had not one time thought or felt my tooth ache.
These documentaries are humbling, makes you realise how lucky you are. RIP poor souls
Imagine having painful medical issues in that diabolically horrible incarnation😈. With no medical attention-!!!😳.. A nightmare the incarcerated never wake up from-!!!😳.
LP p to😊 I'll
Never forget 100000000000% god/source/spirits fault
No exceptions

@@user-bz9bx9jo7r What are you even trying to write there? Because that makes no sense at all.
Very good documentary. Unfortunately, the film makers missed the cruelty of a former Nazi guard who got her start at the camp, Irma Grese. Her evil contributions to the camp were sorely overlooked.
My grandaunt Ilse Hirsch; maiden name de-Beer; prisoner No.23138; Jewess; born in Oldenburg, Lower Saxony on 22/07/08; deported with her husband Hermann Julius; born in Hamburg on 04/05/02; Jew; both deported on Transport 37 to Auschwitz-Birkenau from Berlin on 19/04/43; Hermann's date of death in Birkenau unknown; Ilse was then transferred to Ravensbrueck on the 16/09/43; perished there on 20/07/44.
💔 sad. RIP. Never forgotten
😢😢
I'm so very sorry for the sins of humanity, perpetrated by barbaric, inhumane and inhuman monsters against your beloved relatives. May God grant them eternal peaceful rest!! Never to be forgotten. RIP. XxX 🥹🥲😔
RIP 🙏
Very sorry for the loss of your family in such a heartbreaking way. RIP 🙏🙏🙏
The Sarah Helm book re: Ravensbruck is meticulously researched and well-written. Highly recommend it.
absolutely incredible. the rabbits shall never be forgotten
The Rabbits of Ravensbrook is an excellent book. I’ve reread several times. I’m absolutely horrified every time.
I was looking for this comment. It’s not an easy read but so worth it.
The horrid attacks by the liberators killed many of the prisoners.
It’s an amazingly detailed book! Yes it’s a very big, long book but it’s so worth the read. The women’s stories show every part of human behaviour, personalities and struggle with such empathy, sadness and sometimes with dark humour. The friendships and bonds made were heartbreaking yet wonderful. If you have thought about finding or reading Sarah Helm’s book please do, this is your push to do it!
A shocking video, very well produced . Hard to watch , but what strong women to hide those sentenced to death, risking all . Thank you for telling this so well .
Thank you so much for watching it 🙏
This man is less than a minute into it. Can’t watch it. My mind goes to a dark place. May all those poor souls rest in peace.😢
Amen 🙏
I am German and feel so ashamed about our history.
My heart goes out to all the victims. My Jewish friends know I love them ❤
It is good of you to say but you have no need for shame. You were not born so the crime was not yours. Be happy in your life.
Well it's time you harden up because your country is being re-colonised before your eyes
DON'T BE ASHAMED, Just Realize that some German people then were BARBARIC
Most wealthy Jews drive AUDI, MERCEDES, BMW....I guess they are not that mad.
Why? Your country learned from an atrocity long ago. You are taught about its horrors in school, are reminded ol the bad and have laws to prevent it from happening again. You have VERY long history (that was a short period) to be proud of.
Many countries are still committing such evil deeds now, we know and are powerless.
- from an American who emigrated to Holland long ago. I'm ashamed of much of our past and present.
Very tough watch, but thank you for posting.
Thank you so much for watching !
Horrifying to even put this in your mind. But it needs to be known in this generation most young people don't believe it really happend.
Correction: IGNORANT people don't "believe" that this happened. That is because they are wilfully ignorant and are usually also always the same type of people who are primarily concerned only with issues that pertain to themselves, self centered, narcissistic brutes!!! (They are therefore NOT worth worrying about!!) *NEVER FORGET!!*
*Correction: Wilfully IGNORANT people don't "believe" that this happened - mostly because they are selfish, self centered, narcissistic, emotionally deficient Brutes, who are only ever concerned with what happens to themselves - they have no concern or regard for other human beings, and are therefore NOT worth worrying about as a general rule!!!*
(Everything else you say I agree with)
Where did you get that foolish notion ?
My son
I don't think "most" young people don't know about the Holocaust, or deny it.
My great grandmother served time in Ravensbrück for stealing food ration cards and distributing them to Jews in hiding in Amsterdam. Our family also knew Corrie Ten Boom’s family and even provided her with a safehouse after her release.
These strong women many who were imprisoned for resisting the Germans lived through so much horror. God bless their souls.
I CANT EVEN IMAGINE GOING THRU ALL THAT MISERY...PAIN...& SUFFERING.....THATS GOTTA MESS WITH YOUR HEAD THE REST OF YOUR LIFE..
EXCELLENT film. Just EXCELLENT.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for watching!
Such unbelievable evil but these excellent documentaries must be seen.
💯specially now with the current state of affairs.
77142 that was my mothers number in Ravensbrück she will turn now 94 . I show her the dokumentation
Happy birthday to your Mum.
Blessings to you All
Happy birthday to your Mum. God bless her
Happy birthday from the USA!
I became fascinated in such topics in high school. I'm 63 now and I don't think I want to see any more of this or any other depravity anymore.
Seems some never learned
I'm 53 and it was all but forgotten by the time I was in school heck my kids have only heard about WW2 not even a sentence in there history books now I say BS nds to b taught
Sadly, IT'S MUCH WORSE! There is so much Anti-Semitism in the entire world. It is heart breaking!
@@pamelaperkins2507 I know. And I truly have no clue why the Jewish people are so despised by so many. Baffling
@@Steve-slack69I'm 61. I saw The World At War when I was a kid. I've known about the Holocaust since then. So did most of my friends.
I have to wonder if the “men that wrote history”, were actually not interested in ravensbruck or if they thought that the crimes were so heinous that the world wasn’t ready to hear about them ? Al of the crimes in each and every camp should have been told immediately, so that the world could see just how deprived and sadistic they guards were.
The Israelis are purposely targeting members of the media in order to prevent the world seeing the attrocities they are committing against the Palestinians.
The Germans built most of the death camps in Poland and in eastern Germany in order to keep what they were doing away from the eyes of the general population.
No, it's just that, to men, the suffering of women is nothing compared to their own suffering.
After all, women's suffering is business as usual.
Man, I just recovered from a leg injury and it was easily an 8/10 pain. Seeing the experiments just makes me shudder, leg and feet injuries are beyond painful let alone some madman just being a quack Nazi on your legs.
Not forgotten. Corrie Tenn Boom's story "The Hiding Place." I know it from that.
Me too
So much worse than corrie told
So do I.
I had the privilege to hear her story. I was young..but I remember her strong voice telling her story. It wasn't until I watched this documentary that I associated her with Ravensbruck concentration camp. Thanks for connecting this part of the memory. 🥀
This must never be forgotten, must never ever be blotted out in books or film.
Because what is erased or forgotten, will be soon repeated.
That's 110% right and hopefully they keep teaching in school about the history of world war II and why these people went through in the concentration camps but from what I hear teachers are such burning bleeding heart liberals that they don't even believe the Holocaust happen or any of these atrocities occurred and not concentration camps
History is repeating via 7 Oct,
Are you blind?
The state of Israel is doing this and so much more, and using your sympathy for these victims of history to justify their worse cruelty.
I will never understand how any "human being" could be so cruel.
Just watch what the state of Israel is doing even as we speak. They are weaponizing the suffering of these women to justify their worse cruelty.
I just went there last year. It is in the country in a beautiful setting on a lake. The guard barrack houses outside the camp are now youth hostels. I am sure they enjoyed the lovely scenery on their time off and I am sure the prisoners never knew what a lovely site was outside the walls.
I can't say that Ravensbruck is à forgotten camp,not in France, the nièce of de Gaulle was there. Among many others.
Anna,France
NEVER FORGET !!
With everything they write in the description, it’d “be nice” if somewhere they give the year(s) when the interviews were taken and maybe let us know where they lived the majority of the rest of their lives after their nightmare?
most likely 1945-1950 and then later in the late 70s and 80s
Horrific indeed. These women are to be commended for sharing their stories for the historical record. It had to be painful emotionally. I only hope there is still real historical teaching taking place, so the young are aware of the dangers of tyranny and tyrant's promises to their people.
Sounds like " Rocket🚀Mans " North Korea😳
I really hope they still teach this in school as you said for when I've heard teachers don't teach the history of world war 2 anymore a lot of people don't even believe it happen I just can't believe that man
@@jimmorrison6421 It is disheartening. I used to be a public school history teacher. When I was told discussing September 11th on September 11th with my students was too controversial, I knew I had to get out.
It is horrifying what these people went through. They did nothing wrong and were tormented and then killed. I appreciate it only because it's a piece of history
After visiting Dachau, where both my Grandfathers where held at the same time. One as a political prisoner, and one as a Jew. It was a somber experience. I never met either, but felt them both there.
This should be mandatory in all schools, this must never been forgotten.
I Dont Know HOW Corrie Hid Her Cross During The Shower Scene
Thank your for this tribute tp all who suffered and died. I am sure it only scratches the surface of the horrors these people endured. The women of the Resistance were some of the bravest in the war effort, It remains unimaginable that this occurred merely 80 years ago in a civilized world. Many of the evil women guards got off too easy during the trials.
Thank you so much 🙏
Im so touched by this documentary. Very well done, and i learned new facts. These women are strong and im grateful to hear their stories.
I wonder where the guards humanity went. Very hard to watch! Very hard to believe that there was such inhumanity. However, it's something that we ought to never forget.
Don't forget, they were on schnapps and drugs (LSD). What humanity?
We said never again. Yet, here we are....again. peace must be sought to save all lives of the innocent.
So sad…we must remember so this is never repeated…😔🙏
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hmmmmm! The irony of it all!
@@keta9479 not sure what you are trying to say
It's being repeated right now in Gaza, only it's the Zionists who are the perpetrators. (I won't say Jews because there are many Jews around the world who reject their narrative.)
It's being repeated right now before our eyes in Gaza and it's the Zionists who are the perpetrators (I won't say Jews because there are many Jews around the world who reject the narrative of the Israelis.)
I can't believe this camp's story. I've never heard about the horrors of ravensbruck. It makes sense though, men have never cared about women's history. So sad. Thank you for this history lesson.
Thank yous so much for taking an interest in it 🫶
"And I am afraid of my dreams" by
Wanda Półtawska Istrongly recommend this excellent book true story written by surviver of this camp and experiments .
I read a book called Rabbits of Ravensberg. I don’t recall her name but there was a female Dr. who experimented on how to treat battle field wounds. Wounds would be created, being shot in your knees for example, then protocols were developed to heal that injury.
This is incredibly sad.
My grandfather was hung because he was a guard at one of the camps. We all pay for the things we do
Calling Himmler cruel is a massive understatement
This a very adjusted (?) report. There is so much horror committed in these camps that is not mentioned. The forgotten women, the sexual horror of rape and mutilation must be mentioned. We cannot gloss over the horror of what men did to these people (and sadly still are). Only now are we seeing in Australia some minor form of fixing the violence to women, but it has taken the horrendous fact that one woman in Australia is killed every four days by male partners. It is because of this omission of violence to women that has happened in these camps and the attitude to reporting this violence and the continuing violence that some men (?) are still perpetrating this violence.
I was married to a monster, yet women like me feel embarrassed and ashamed of what happened to us - we don’t talk about it, except to others like ourselves. In 21st century Australia it’s still an uneasy ‘talk’ and an uneasy ‘listen’. If your situation was/is
bad you find yourself scanning the face of the person you are talking to - searching for the slightest sign of disbelief. More needs to be done in schools to teach our young people that dv is never ever acceptable, to any degree. It knows no social or economic boundaries, a lady in the refuge like me was married to a Dr.
This is news to me. An excellent documentary. Incredible how people survived this horror
What a travesty...That the programme continually disturbs the advertising...
It's almost as if it's not free and advertising is required for revenue.
My great uncle was present during the liberation. He cried when he talked about it.
Truly a sad time 😢
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent still-motion photography pictures drawings. . Enabling viewers to better understand what the orator is describing. Special thanks to the surviving guest speakers. Sharing personal information/experiences pertaining to. Life @ the concentration camp.😳. An extremely diabolically unhealthy Unsantary environment. Guaranteed slow agonizing death. The fortunate prisoners sent to the camps late (1944 )into (1945). Survived to tell of their diabolically horrible incarnation😈. Wishing viewers a safe/healthy/prosperous (2024)🌈🎉💵😉.
Well said! Theres a book that may interest you called "eyewitness Auschwitz" by Filip Muller. He was in the sonderkommando for nearly 3 years, rare as they were usually gassed after a few months. It might interest you
I believe Himmler had a house across the lake for his mistress and their children. Very good video, Thankyou
What a demon that will rot in hell
Very exciting documentary., thanx a lot. R from Denmark.
Thank you very much!
ja den er sgu barsk..enig robin
I knew the name Ravensbruck but knew very little about the horrific events. This was so very hard to watch and hear of the brutality perpetrated by women against women. Crimes against humanity hardly adequately describes what went on here. Eternal Hell awaits them, of that there is no doubt.
U are self righteous
Do u believe a abortions are a sin?
I am 77 now and have studied and watched more about Nazis and Japanese than is healthy for the mind. I try to avoid more but keep finding myself viewing it even now. I have traveled to many countries but cannot bring myself to step inside Germany or Japan. I know the current generation is not responsible but I simply never want to be in a country that had this much evil. The bottom line is we allow hatred to be spewed by great orators and follow like sheep to the slaughter without serious thought. I know it will always be thus so I am almost glad I won't be here much longer.
I lived in Germany for a little over six months. That was enough for me. I never want to spend anymore time in that country.
I hope you add Israel to the list of countries not to set foot in ! The atrocities which took place in the Japanese camp called "Unit 731" surpass anything encountered in Germany or Russia during that period. The movie " the men behind the sun " illustrates in brutal detail the depravity of the Japanese medical doctors who operated on living victims with no anesthetics in order to observe theirs reactions during the procedure. If you have not watched it , do so and then compare who were the bigger monsters .
@@den264 Not sure about that one. It seems to me Israel has never initiated a war or an attack but respond with all when attacked. What happened to them was worse than 9/11 statically and everyone seems to forget that part. The Palestinians need to revolt against Hamas as that is what will save them. You cannot let terrorists use hospitals and schools to operate and expect those building not to be destroyed when you allowed it.
It was mostly for Women BUT attached to the Camp separately were a Mens Camp and a large Youth Camp.
People ask why didn't the locals know. Let me explain - main road has a checkpoint to a minor road leading off - no sign of Camp from there. Today passing down that road reveals large chalet type buildings for the guards
Little remains of the camp the barracks have gone. Visit the main buiding - upstairs a large plan layout shows the sections of the Camp
Outside is the bunker cells which is on two stories. Finding it unlocked revealed two lady guides. They did not know of Odette Sansome - a British Agent.
Near the bunkers is a plaque - the place where 3 British Agents were execut 11:32 ed by a shot in the neck as they knelt and held hands.
The crematorium ovens were close by
.Towards the end of the War a wooden gas chamber was constructed and used.
At the end of the War many women were evacuated to Sweden by the Red Cross.
Thr Russians liberated the Camp AND used it as a Prison Camp
The people knew. They either turned a blind eye or enjoyed the thought of the exterminations. If they said they didn't know, they lied.
@@Gertiemarie50people also made their living providing goods to the camps and getting cheap labor. They turned a blind eye for profit.
Thank you
Thank you!
This video is good but y'all left out that the first 400 women sent there were Jehovah Witnesses and between 1939-1944 1200 JW's were held there.They wore purple triangle for identification
And pretty much all they had to do to get out was to deny their faith, or do the Nazi salute. (If my memory serves me correctly)
Near to KL Ravensbruck is a Concentration Camp called KL Uckermark. It was a youth camp. (Jugend Lager) some of the site remains. The medical experiments were carried out by doctors from an SS Sanatorium called Hohenlychen a building which is abandoned but still survives.
I knew a boy child that had been at Ravensbruck who was moved to KL Sachsenhausen and only just survived until liberation. He had been dumped on a pile of dead bodies but was alive but very weak.
Read Ms Helm`s book on Ravensbruck which is probably going to be definitive.
God bless all those women!
Interesting/informative entertaining. Excellent still-motion photography pictures/reenactments. Enabling viewers to better understand what the orator & guest speakers were describing-!!!😉. Amazing how many survived to describe their experiences.!!!😳.
Thank you so much!!
I can never understand how inhumane some humans can be I once heard that some Germans still refuse to believe this all happened 😡. Only thing I can think of is they have been brainwashed for yrs. i saw a video of the camps when they were liberated I was around 15 in high school some found it too hard to watch and walked out others (me included) sat and cried it’s a tough thing to watch God bless everyone who survived and RIP all those who didn’t make it 😭😭😭 such an awful thing Thing is they wanted a true Arian race blue eyes blonde hair. Yet Hitler (I hate even mentioning that monsters name) was Dark haired It’s a huge shame Joseph Mengele didn’t face justice he was the worst monster of all
Hitler looked dark to me. U think he was Aryan?
@@a.f.7246No, 😔 he was part Jewish.
Hitler's grandmother was a maid in the household of a wealthy Jewish businessman and she got pregnant - like many maids - by her employer. So Hitler was part Jewish.
It was an informative, wonderful historical coverage and incredible historical coverage documentary... about the Nazism brutality towards Jewish ✡️women, European resistant women, other deported women...
Thank you!
What about your ppl persecuting Christians?
If you found this documentary interesting please read “If This Is A Woman: Inside Ravensbruck: Hitler's Concentration Camp for Women” by Sarah Helm. It’s a 768 paged book which details everything that happened in the camp from everyday life to experimentations on the rabbits to the forced prostitution huts. Yes it’s an absolutely heartbreaking and awfully disturbing but there are so many amazing souls that shine light through the darkness of the camps. There are so many stories of friendships, relationships, bonds and families formed to bring some happiness and a tiny bit of joy. It’s a big book but it’s such an important part of so many people’s history!
Do a video on flossburg. My grandfather was with the 9th armored when they came across flossburg subcamps with women and children.
I'm german, and I am ashamed that this is our legacy , I'm so sorry , we can not let this happen again ever , wake up America we need to stand by Israel and our Jewish friends, and what is currently taking place is absolutely vile and horrific and must not be tolerated
America won't wake up sorry to say for they were never made to atone for imprisoning a whole race of people in their own concentration camps namely Japanese Americans born in America of Japanese ancestry and made an deliberate enemy of America after the Pearl Harbor attack.
Never again means never again for everyone. The once tortured have turned into the torturers. Israel is doing the same thing the Nazis did to Jews. Call it what it is, a genocide. You are supporting a genocide!
@@AussiePomDon’t pretend Australians have not been racist. Your country has a history of mistreating non whites. Especially Aboriginals.
You're allowing your guilt over what was done in the past to ignore what Israel is doing right now. Millions of people have no support for Israel and they're beginning to lose the support of people like you who supported them at first.
They are doing to others what was done to them and worse. I have no sympathy for them. You ought to recognize war crimes when you see them and you choose not to see them.
It IS happening again and once again, spectators are allowing it to happen.
We must ALWAYS remember.
Things were much much worse in Ravensbruck. Sexual violence and torture was prevalent. Women were deported systematically to be used to the Auschwitz "brothel" for sexual services to kapos and members of the sonderkommando, and they had the fate of horribly exploited commodities, that in many case resulted to death. Hygiene facilities were horrific. Starvation was the norm. Unfortunately, several women were raped by the Russian liberators. Actions against women that were beyond vile.
Always have been.
Maybe that's why male historians don't care.
Excellent documentary and the Sarah Helm book is highly recommended. However, one quibble: the woman identified as Johanna Langefeld is definitely not her. She was a smallish rotund middle aged woman, totally different from this one.
My family are descendants of the list so I am a Schindler, Jew, as my family had a farm in Poland.
Apparently my Great Grandmother went through this camp. She was a Polish aristocrat.
Im ashamed to say that the situation of the contractions camp has fascinated, if that is the right word. I've watched many videos about it. And even if I absolutely KNOW 100% that its real. It's like it can't be so. The torture, evil and horrible things done to these completely innocent people, is so beyond and hard to imagine that something like this can even happen. There's no words for it really. And it isn't that long ago either.
That the guards could be so cold. So heartless. So evil. That death wasn't enough, they had to suffer.
The amount of men, women and children, who had to endure their evil, omg my heart breaks for them all.
The total organization of it as well. It was very planned out and thought threw. How can people, humans, sit and plan this. Their's no words for this, not none that's enough.
That's why I find it "fascinating". I'm not some sicko who likes to see people suffer and die. Absolutely NOT! But this's so extreme, that I'll NEVER EVER understand this evil. It's out of this world. And scary. Very scary that humans can do this to other humans. If you even can call this horrible guards and people humans. I think not.
How human beings could reach this level of evil and depravity is beyond my understanding!
It’s a frightening thing to realize that another human being could fall to this level of sardonic darkness!
This was awful to watch.....and people don't believe these things happened...
I am blessed for the life I have
However, the warden shown here is not Johanna Langefeld, but Hildegard Neumann.
" You know women are sometimes the worst."
I have felt that for years.
Hard to watch.
So hard. Hard to watch and comprehend this really happened and not that long ago. 😢
But it's much needed to show these new generation's 🧬 to actually get off their butts and go out into the world and speak 🗣️ on such things of Bigotry and Hate and Actually do something, anything to stop it Before it even starts. † God bless All of You in Ha'maschiach, Yeshua. † Amen and a big beautiful SHALOM. †
Much harder to experience-!!!😉.
Fairly easy in 1080p
No it's not this is very light compared to other graphic documentaries which is how it should be .
History should never be censored everyone needs to see what has happened in the world.
I think I am more disturbed by CZcams’s insistence on putting Lego adverts in on a horrific documentary that is not suitable for children to watch. Like what the actual YT? Be better!
I am just grateful it's available. I can easily get past adverts for the valuable information offered .
That Dutch lady was an absolutly beautifull 22 yr old woman.
Far too many adverts spoilt the continuity.
I have heard that two Americans died in Ravensbruck; they were bomber crewmen who had bailed out and were sent there as punishment for being...bomber crewmen...
There is a lot of scientific work on Ravensbrück to read as well as documentaries to watch - so why give this KZ a mysterious odour by calling it forgotten? It’s not, all its tragic and horror lies open and is well researched. Feels to me a bit like exploiting the topic for attention seeking. Sorry for being harsh, it’s merely out of sensitivity.
You are right. It's not forgotten by any standard. I learned about Ravensbrück more than 40 years ago. Also it sticks out as the women's camp.
@@Asger21Thank you. All the best 🤗

Forgotten? By whome? Ravensbrück has not been forgotten. It's rather infamous as a womens camp.
All these atrocities carried out by so called well educated & civilized people?
I recently read three different memoirs from American women who were here. They were all very lucky to be American and were treated a lot better by the SS than the other inmates who were treated horrendously. One story was one of the punishments was having to stand in a room where the floor was covered in ice for hours.
No way will I go to those camps!!! I'd break down cryin'!!!😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
ISRAEL REMEMBER NEVER AGAIN!!
Hypocrite.

The animals who ran this show were shown way too much compassion in the way they were executed.
Tough watch documentary
why the background music, unnecessary
Every time I hear German reminds me of my grandma she married a is soldier wish I could hear how she got here but she passed nicest lady I ever met she was my mothers neighbor and babysat me as a kid
Did any women successfully escape Ravensbruck? Other than those involved in Mengele's studies, were any children allowed to live at Ravensbruck? What happened to women who were pregnant when they arrived at the camp? Were any of the guards recruited from the local population?
Yes - Children survived some lived in Ravensbruck - but most went to Uckermark the KZ across from Ravensbruck in Furstenberg
@@Bria_001 do you know what happened to the children?
@@Bria_001 I never heard of Uckermark before. Thank you for telling me about it. I never knew that the Nazis maintained a concentration camp for very young female inmates.
Mainly young girls around 16 years old went to Uckermark @@Bria_001
@@Scriptorsilentumaround 800 babys was born in the camp. Many did not survived
I can’t imagine the horror day after day. The hate all day long.
Didn't the British do something similar with the Boer women and children in South Africa during the Anglo Boer war of 1899 - 1902?
What the Boers suffered under Britain in the Boer war was indeed horrible. But scale matters. In the concentration camps of the Boer war, 4,177 women died, 2,2074 children, and 1,676 men. There were no “medical” experimentation of prisoners, there was no slave labor for corporations, there were no gas chambers.
Yes they did.
True. Also, its sad that Britain and America turned so many people, who were persecuted by the nazis, were turned away and sent back.

Yes
