❤️Aubrey was a Speech-Language Pathologist, Donnie was graphic designer, but we both had a dream to travel the world and experience cultures. After three years of being married and dreaming about if something like this great adventure would be possible, we decided to quit the rat race and take on the world. We sold everything we had, quit our jobs, and took off! After 9 months of aimless and nonstop travel, we now get to fulfill our dreams of living abroad as we move to Germany!
This was a difficult one for us to do, but thanks so much for watching guys! We appreciate all your support! 😊
Well that region in today´s southern Poland was former Austrian territory hard-fought between the Austrians and Prussians for centuries..the Nazis didn´t change the name randomly to Auschwitz-Birkenau for just sounding german it was simply the old german name from that former time-period. Every village or town in eastern Europe who was former Austrian crownland ( simply nearly whole eastern Europe ) had a german name for centuries since early medi-eval times..even today many towns in Poland or Czech Rep. or Hungary or former Yugoslavia (especially Slovenia, Croatia) ..etc are called with their old german names from back then in today´s German language...but it is slightly changing in some cases..but for instance the czech town "Brno" will always be "Brünn" and "Praha" will always be "Prag" and "Ostrava" will always be "Ostrau"..the hungarian "Sopron" will always be "Ödenburg"..the polish "Gdanzk" will always be "Danzig" and Krakow will always be "Krakau"... and the slovakian "Bratislava" will always be "Pressburg" and the croatian "Zagreb" was called "Agram" and the slovenian Ljubljana will always be "Laibach" in German...even in northern Italy which was part of the Holy Roman Empire for 1000 years and then after the fall part of the Austrian Empire therefore "Milano" will always be "Mailand"..and so on and so on...
Now that you have visited Auschwitz please watch a film "A Boy in the Striped Pijamas". You will react differently to the ending.
You made a good and important job !
This place was the hell in earth !!
For me as a German is this very important to talk about the history.
Never forget !
very good thank you. i do hope to visit one day
I left a comment some days ago which is not shown... Did I accidentally write something inappropriate? This was not my intention.
It is very common in germany that most schools make bus trips to these places when you are in the 9th or 10th grade to raise awareness on what has happned in the past.
Domambo Cringleton that’s a great idea. I remember some other German friends talking about how they had to do that in school like you describe. 👍🏼
I'm german and maybe you are too but since i can't know for sure i'll just keep it in english. Also everyone else can still read this if i do. I think it's the right thing to show german students what happened. But also, unfortunately the age from 14-17 (though this can vary wildly, i know) is in my opinion where humans are the most immature. more immature even than children because they feel like they always have to be so, so cool, untouchable and unaffected by everything (the boys especially when the girls are there). So while i (as a german) fully support the mandatory visit of places like auschwitz i wonder if that age is the right time to do it. Or maybe in smaller groups. On the other hand, you can't bring a bunch of 10 year olds to auschwitz. and you can't tell adults who are out of school what to do. so the most immature age of people is also the only age when you can mandatorily take them there. difficult problem.
@@DerkleineTrojaner Hey there. Yes i´m german too and made this trip with my class. I didn´t have the most interest myself at that time when we visited Bergen Belsen. But if i now look back it still left some kind of awareness in myself.
We don't do a trip to Auschwitz. We go to Dachau because it isn't so far away.
I actually think, going into one of the memorial sites between the age of 13 and 17 is a good thing overall. While we are usually most immature in our puberty year, these are also our most formative and getting a good dose of that weight then and there is probably a good way to burn it into our minds until we die of old age.
I myself was at Buchenwald, which is probably most famous for their motto "Jedem das Seine" aka "To each his own" which is just another phrase the Nazis bastardised.
Thank you for your respectful way of dealing with this difficult chapter of Germany's (and the world's) history.
I personally only visited Bergen-Belsen last year. Even that camp which was not a dedicated extermination camp saw its huge share of attrocities.
For me as a German the mantra is:
Never again! Never forget!
Thanks so much! We are glad you felt like we dealt with it respectfully. I also really appreciate your insight as a German. Very interesting perspective and great mantra.
I often wondered how Germans themselves felt about this Monstrosity..... I personally visited Auschwitz & Birkenau last year as something i always wanted to do as a mark of respect.....I have the greatest of Respect for you Rusty Dusty 101 for the comment you have made..
i am french myself, shame on you Germans. I am 23 right now. I wouod never respect a german again after what yall did in our country and to my grand parents.
Egal wie oft ich davon in der Schule gelernt habe, egal wie übel mir wird jedes mal. Irgendwann werde ich dahin fahren.
Mir wurden immer die Knie weich, als ich die KZ- Gedenkstätten Hamburg-Neuengamme und Bergen- Melden , das Wohnhaus der Familie Frank in Amsterdam und die Wolfsschanze in Polen besucht habe.
Mir geht's genauso, mir war schon schlecht in Mauthausen, aber Auschwitz werde ich auch irgendwann mal sehen müssen.
I remember when I went to school (near Stuttgart), in 10th grade, we visited the camp in Dachau near Munich. It was when I entered the crematorium and the gas chamber that it really struck me. That was around 17 years ago and I can still remember many many details. Nowadays I teach German among other languages and I always make sure that this sinister part of German history is treated thoroughly. Hearing or reading about it already is horrible, but visiting a camp where all those horrors have taken place is yet another beast.
What I really like and find important is that Germany is not trying to expunge this stain from its history, but on the contrary, facing it constantly and repeatedly. There have been unspeakable crimes in all parts of the world in the past. Many try to hide them, but in my opinion, thats not the way to go about it.
I'm glad you could make the experience yourself., although it is a very somber one.
i dont think i could handle going to auschwhitz withiut my heart beoming broken an start crying hearing stories and seeing pictures would be hard but i can say is the memory of those whom lost their lives there will be forever remembered in mi heart
Even though the USSR was crumbling while I was stationed in Germany, we were not allowed to go to Poland yet. I did go to Dachau once. It is indeed a very somber experience.
Very impressive video, thanks for sharing this, I think everybody should visit this to remind what can people do to other peoples.
This is so tastefully and respectfully presented. Thank you. It's beyond any words as to the horrific crimes that took place here. I hurt for the victims that went through this. Never forget.....
Excellent video! Very informative and well done! Thank you for posting!
Very well done and Respectfully put together Passport Two.
Thank so very much for sharing your visit ….. I plan to visit Auschwitz this coming August. Your video was very very informative and goes way past what I read in the history books and see on the tv.
Thanks for the useful information about what the tour is like!
I found your video very tastefully presented, your respect for this place is tangible.
You did a very respectful job with this subject.
Thank you for this video.
Very well done. You were very respectful. It is very important that people understand that we do not forget how very ordinary people were able to dehumanize groups of people so they could be slaughtered without a second thought.
Very informative and respectful thank you
Very powerful and emotional post.
Respectfully done.
We will definitely visit.
Jeff Kwas thank you very much. Glad you thought it was respectfully done. Can be a touchy subject and wanted to make sure we did the best we could to be respectful.
You guys handled this in a very respectful manner and that’s how this place should be treated.
Thankyou for sharing this, i would love to go to learn and give my respects,
This video was made with reverence and class. I have not made the visit yet but I will one of these days. I have been to Dachau literally eleven times and I made a video there as well. I have taken folks there who would like to visit. Each tie I go I get a different perspective. Even though this all history it is very imparative to remember history so that it won't be repeated again as it was said. Thank You so much for sharing.
Thanks for that, Darion! We have been to Dachau once and that is a magnificently preserved and well presented place. Such sad but important places to visit.
Thank you for doing this.
Absolutely. Glad you were able to appreciate it 😊
Danke, dass Ihr dort gewesen seid!!!!!!
Very interesting documentary
thanks for clear explanations
Near Munich their is the first Concentration Camp! In Dachau Bavaria! This was what most of the Concentration Camps were based on!
Thank you for this
Thanks for sharing.
On my bucket list
Thank you!
Very informative
Thank you, glad you enjoyed 😊
I was in Auschwitz two weeks ago and was allowed to take my backpack with me, but it is strictly checked, as is done at an airport with a scan.
I'm planning on going in July or August
Lamp shades...wow..
Wow guys...this was very moving. The video is nicely done. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you! We are glad you enjoyed the way we presented it.
Hi, I am not sure if you will see this, but for the setup of transportation to the museum from your AirBnB, do you have a link for that? I see you can buy tickets on the main site but wasn't sure about transport.
I have several questions regarding your stay in Poland. How long were you there? Was there people who spoke English where you visited? Did you have to get a translator? How long was the flight? How hard/easy was it to schedule an airb&b?
Thank you in advance for your time & help!
I was just there. Downy 8 days in Poland. Most people speak English so you don't have to worry about that. This visit to Auchwitz was very insightful. Everyone needs to go!
I know you posted this video five years ago but I was wondering what tour company did you use from Krakow? Thank you.
Hello, what site did you purchase your tour tickets from that included the transportation?
What a great video! I hope to be able to visit Auschwitz someday. I did do a tour of Sauchsenhausen outside of Berlin a few years ago. Very eye opening.
Sauchsenhausen was the first concentration camp I ever visited as well. Smaller and different set up than Auschwitz, but the emotions are the same. Very tough and you're exactly right, eye-opening.
Superb 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
SO YOU CAN JUST WALK-IN TO AUSWITCH? u dont need to book (and pay) for the ticket?
One thing I've always wondered : is there extensive work needed to be done to «maintain» Asuchwitz? Or were the Germans just THAT good at building stuff that just doesn't crumble? I mean, these buildings and infrastructures are about 80 years old and are still standing.
There are buildings still up from over 100 years ago because buildings are meant to last so they are built in a way to ensure that but museum staff would go out and check the buildings for signs of pests, mold, vandalism, and other factors that could affect the structural integrity of the buildings
My first visit in a CC was when I was only 10 years old, togehter with my parents (= refugees themselves). It is absolutely necessary to see this once in your life ... but sometimes it's too much for me. The german history is not only the history of the 3rd Reich.
A6 is an industrial format. it is 10.5x14.8cm
I think you watched our other video where we talked about A6 paper, but the comment is showing up on our visit to Auschwitz video? haha
@@PassportTwo 2:55 😜
Ah! haha, I'm sorry! We have our other video where we talk about little differences we have noticed between Germany and the USA and we talk about how in the US we use US Letter size vs A4 is the standard in Germany (and basically all of the rest of the world)...thanks for pointing that out! 😊
@@PassportTwo yes, A4 is roughly the size of american letter size, and each following number halves that paper, thus A6 is roughly half as wide and half as tall as letter size. thus there surely is some misunderstanding because this size would be too small for a bag or even a purse, and the A-series is also the size for flat paper and not for a volume. since you showed "30×20×10 cm" (12×8×4 inches), maybe it was meant as "bags suited to hold A4 (not A6) paper, eg for students, or to collect info brochures" ?
could someone please verify what was really meant to help people who want to go there and take a tour?
@@Anson_AKB It states 30x20x10 cm on the website. So yeah, a bit larger than A4 paper.
So explain it to me, because I am very confused with their site. The site says that it is free and when we try to make the reservation online they charge you a fee with a guide. I don't want a guide and I want to take my time to explore the camp well. I am planning to drive on my own there.
This video is 3 years old. Much has changed since then, and perhaps there is now a fee for going with a guide. The free, self-guided tours begin only after 4:00pm and run until 7:00pm. You cannot do a self-guided tour prior to 4:00pm. Also, the entrance facilities have been totally re-architected in the past year. Information on how and where to enter camp-1 that is more than about 1 year old, will be invalid.
@@29outlaw You are correct. I jus came back from Poland.
A very respectful and sensitive video...thanx for that.
I would really like to know what you are thinking about us Germans after visiting this hell of horror...please be honest.
Sgt. Tuborg I’ve not (yet) been there but I’ve visited others in Europe; I live fairy close to westerbork. When I was a child my grandfather used to speak about the German soldiers he met as a boy here in the Netherlands. He told me there were some real a$$holes, mostly officers and SS, but most of the soldiers were young German boys without a choice (they’d get shot if they refused!) who just wanted to go home. None of them were evil, or even happy about the war. It gave me a very different perspective on “the German” (in other words, there was no such thing).
I heard stories about Germans letting kids “steal” coal, wood, even food for their families. About Germans who never even carried a gun. About boys who were so happy the war was over they actually stole bikes, just to get home as soon as possible.
So even trough all the bad stories there’s good ones too, of decent people forced into a situation they never wanted. I love the Germans, they’re a social and welcoming bunch.
sadkingbilly I'm from Belgium and my grandmother has similar stories about young German soldiers who wanted nothing more than to go home to their families, but were given no choice. My grandmother's family was briefly turned out of their home as the house was conveniently located near the canal and the railway, so the Germans took it as their temporary local headquarters for a while. When they moved on, not only had they left the house in good condition, they had also taken good care of the animals (this was a time when many families bred their own rabbits, chickens, etc.). If only they'd known the family whose house they had commandeered were actively helping the resistance by sabotaging the railway so the Germans couldn't use it. 😇😁
Very late I am an Indian..and I had couple of relatives and friends who had visited Germany..experienced racist attacks...called them black Monkeys..not a pleasant experience by any means.
@@kithu1231 I'm so sorry for that. But I guess you will find assholes everywhere in the world...even in Germany.
@@sgt.tuborg6556 Ya India ain't great either 😁
Thank you.
The gas showers are disgusting.
I would like to visit it one time.
I am from Germany and it’s a shame for our country but we all now that this is the past and we can’t forget it
Shame on you modern Germans as well. 90 percent of modern Germans are related to the past crimes commited by their ancestors. Shame on the military for Nazi germany as well aka wehrmacht. They followed orders but shame on yall for letting this genocide happen.
And another thing i am french myself, what yall did to our country France during ww2 pisses me off and i will never respect a german ever again. Next time Germany, pick on a country that has more soldiers, out country france didnt have the manpower. Thats why USA, british and soviet union fucked yall germans up.
In North Korea for example there are some working camps where people die everyday but what do we do against that? Same for some strict countries such as Saoudi Arabia.
In North Korea, there are indeed very cruel camps with highest death rates. But at least they are not designed as murdering machines, inspite of the high death rate. Auschwitz was from beginning on meant as a murdering machine, just allowing some on the death row to serve as slaves before they die. Under worst conditions. Once met a woman who grew up as a normal citizen near the Conzentration Camp. She saw Mengele divide up the people, she heard babies crying for their mothers and mothers for their babies. I met another woman, who as a child watched a "Todesmarsch" from a hidden place. She only saw a few meters, but within these few meters, 8 people were shot. She would not stand this memory and got addicted to alcohol. The woman from Auschwitz village, when she had to flee herself to the west, she told everybody that we just deserved every pain in the days of the end of the war and in the days after. She even told her husband, that he for sure did kill innocent people and raped women and burnt down houses. He denied but she would not believe him. He asked for divorce. And at the end if her days, in a geriatric nursery, she still did tell us these things when in the nights she was not able to sleep. - In North Korea, the camps are a nightmare. But still not compareable. You are right, that there should be something done against it. But North Korea doesn't even accept diplomats, so how to tell them? A war would be too dangerous, and the wrong people were going to suffer.
@@frauantjeshayday-farmen9517 Thank You for this rich comment. I was not trying to compare with what happen in Auschwitz but just wanted to emphasize the fact that nowadays there are still many human crimes and the society tend to close their eyes on it just because of the money or other reasons. In North Korea they had diplomats before the pandemic, but a lot of countries are not willing to create a better relationship, instead they put sanctions that affects the population and that create a fear feeling from the government that will then produce more defensive weapons etc. The Cold War is not totally over yet. Wishing peace and health to everyone!
@@firstandlastname2390 At this very moment, the USA, i.e. President Biden tries to start diplomatic ties, but North Korea denied. Btw. the connection with Trump was a very special one. Kim Yong Und just manipulated Trump, let him feel the best and towards the North Koreans it meant: Even the mightiest enemy is respecting Kim Yong Un... Win-win-situation. It will be harder to do the same with Biden, I guess that's the reason for not allowing embassies in both countries.
@@frauantjeshayday-farmen9517 another thing is that the USA are requesting conductions for a meeting, but why North Korean government would surrender they nuclear power since it is their only chance to keep a place in this world and that many countries around North Korea already have it... It is very complex situation
I may have missed it but what is the photography policy inside the camp?
HebeGebe it’s allowed but there are a few specific locations where they do not allow photography. Specifically one area we talked about is a room full of actual hair shaved from prisoners. These spots are fairly infrequent though.
Don't be a jerk and be as respectful as you can. Balancing on the train tracks? Posing in front of the door of a gas chamber? A dick move and therefore not appropriate.
Yes, two spots. One is the Hair exhibit and the other is the basement of block 11.
I am unable to find free passes for individual inside website can u please help me out.....
Have you ever through about visiting east Africa, on how the African slave where treated before been put on slave ships before heading west to the America ?
Very respectfully done, thanks.
Thank you for that, it really means a lot!
If I had a passport and time I d go.
As a nation and as a society, we should not feel shame for what happened since it has been committed not by us, but by our ancestors. We can feel shame for those, who where responsible. But it is our duty to remain alert and tell everybody in the world what happened, so it will never happen again. Stand up, fight fascism wherever you meet it.
In the US, American Indians receive lots of government aid and payments and it is also currently debated about giving African Americans retribution. In Australia, aboriginals receive the same because of how previous generations treated individuals of those groups. It is interesting to debate and talk about the responsibility of current people for the actions of their ancestors because it seems to be different in different countries. I agree with your sentiments completely about the responsibility of current generations of Germans to promote education to stop this from ever happening again!
@@PassportTwo Many cultures have suffered from slavery at some point, Including various Western European cultures etc should I receive payments just because theirs a very small percentage that my ancestors were treated badly? what about those with African heritage, who is going to pay for that? Some Africans even sold people from their own area in to slavery, or are people just trying to make a certain group of people feel Guilty for everything, when just about every cultural group at some point has had something bad happen to them, we are living in the present, and we should only be judged by what we are doing in this LIFE Time, Hey If I get blamed for being related to Slave Masters when I had no part in it, then that is ridiculous! since you agree with that sentiment is it also the responsibility of every Islamic person to educate their own about the wrongs of the Mughal empire towards those who were non muslim?
If we feel ashamed of the deeds of our families, it is easier to stand up and fight fascism an nazism. Most are too afraid to do so, and that's the highest danger in it.
@@frauantjeshayday-farmen9517 because the nazi SS put fear into the German Citizens, “the more you fuck around the more you will find out” plus the Nazi government removed weapons from their citizens. Nazis even killed their own aryan german blood because they fought against their own government.
Are you allowed to take photos?
Yes, but there are a couple of spots that they say you are not allowed to photograph and they make you very aware of where those places are.
@@PassportTwo I think some tourist will disrespect the memories of the fallen.
Als ich sechzehn war, war ich mit meiner Schulklasse in Dachau, einige sind großspurig mit Bomberjacken, Springerstiefeln und Kampf-Hosen rein gegangen, und weinend wie kleine Kinder raus gegangen.
Wir haben dort einen Film angeschaut bei dem mir schlecht wurde (ich war eigentlich gut vorbereitet aber zeitgenössisches Filmmaterial war zu viel für mich. Es waren katholische Nonnen dort für solche Fälle, auch wenn ich evangelisch aufgewachsen bin, war ich sehr dankbar für die Seelsorge).
Zu wissen, dass da Wärter waren die da hin gegangen sind jeden Tag, die es mit eigenen Augen gesehen haben, und nichts gegen dieses System unternommen haben, lässt einen an der Menschheit zweifeln. Wie kann es sein, dass Menschen zu so etwas fähig sind...
Wow...Es war schwierig, als Erwachsener zu sehen. Ich kann mir nur vorstellen, wie schwierig es für ein Kind wie Sie war, das zu sehen.
Also Dachau ist an sich ganz interessant, aber zum Heulen fand Ich es nicht.
We shall never forget! We, the Germans deserve to get a second chance. But yet: WE SHALL NEVER FORGET!
So, now - let's make it so that something like that never happens again.
It's not *Like* visiting a cemetery, it *is* visiting a Cemetary. The entire place is a Cemetary. Prisoners were shot at random, executed at The Death Wall, Died of starvation,disease,sorrow,killed themselves by grabbing the electric barbed wire fence, and of course, in the Crematoria. The entire Camp is Sacred Burial Ground. You can't bring anything especially a backpack because of the prisoners who arrived with luggage, like backpacks, told they would get it back "After the shower and hot soup" then shoved naked into the room and gassed to death. As soon as the screaming stopped and the Sonderkommandos knew they were dead, they started taking the luggage and their clothes to be sorted through to look for valuables for the Nazis to steal, or the Sonderkommandos or Prisoners whose job it was to look for the valuables to take and to use to barter for food with. The Sonderkommandos and the Prisoners who on threat of death had to search for loot were just as much prisoners as the ones who were gassed. They would only allow them to live every 3 months so their Secrets would be kept and a new group of Sonderkommandos and Prisoners to search for loot would be chosen from the new arrivals, the rest gassed and it would start all over again. So don't bring your fucking backpack, nor a big purse nothing
All you will need anyway is a Box of Kleenex to dry your tears.
An Alle ! Unbedingt lesen : Gerard Menuhin "Wahrheit sagen ,Teufel jagen ".
please can some one change the music that is being played in this clip it sounds like music that people listening to sitting on a beach come on please
i think it is strange that one has to pay for it to visit, like a tourist actraction, i was was born in the Netherlands and moved two years ago to Germany to a small town in the former DDR near Nordhausen. only minutes away from our home is the kamp Mittelbau Dora, one of the worst camps the nazi´s had, where they made the V2 rockets and you can come there for free anytime you want, and all tours are free too
Well, technically only guided tours aren’t free but you can visit on your own for free 😊
@@PassportTwo The money helps support the Memorial.
German "w" is pronounce as "v" so it is "Auschvitz".
Kalina Phillips falsch
It depends on the region where you grew up. I pronounce it w.
I went to Bergen-Belsen when I went to Germany ... it was a difficult experience and it wasn’t an extermination camp... I know I won’t go to Auschwitz.
Incredibly there are people that deny the Holocaust happened and there’s a resurgence of antisemitism and nazism in the world.
We haven't been to Bergen-Belsen ourselves but I can definitely imagine the emotions are the same when visiting that camps as well.
It is incredible to know that those kind of people still exist.
Did you see Anne Frank's grave
@Elena Nunez
There actually are laws against Holocaust denials in certain countries:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_against_Holocaust_denial
very sobering
It definitely is. Makes you really appreciate your life!
@@PassportTwo I was able to visit Dachau back in the 70's, and I was actually ashamed to be german … we must NEVER let anything like this happen again
It sickens me that there are still people who don't believe this happened ,so sad ,but,learn from this
i believe it i studied it at school
Am Ende kommen Touristen !
In the end, tourists come!
In our tour they mentioned that the victims themselves were some of the first tour guides because it was important for them that the world come and see what happened so that it doesn't happen again.
Been there...saw that. Never wanna go back......too sorrowful!!!
@ 02:40 food was never aloud to bring there
have you ever visited "wounded knee"? have you heard of the trail of tears??
Never visited Wounded Knee and the trail of tears sent Indians to the designated Indian Territory which later became Oklahoma, our home state, so yes, I have heard of the trail of tears. My guess is your trying to redirect and justify Auschwitz by saying Americans have also done bad things? Your assuming by visiting and putting this video out you are saying we are ignoring the atrocities our own people have committed? If so, you are way off base and off topic with your comment.
@@PassportTwo A well worded rebuke, but another thing you are going to learn about living in another country as a U.S. citizen is that they will bring up everything bad the U.S. has ever done to, exactly as you said, redirect. They will know our history better than their own sometimes. You will quickly tire of "why did the U.S......", "why doesn't the U.S.....", "when will the U.S......". That's really going to be a minority of people, so don't let them get you down.
You do it right, you experience the real hard stuff.
And Auschwitz is one of the hardest.
In my area where i live is also an concentration camp, it's called "Dora".
The prisoners there had to build the V-2 rocket for the Nazis.
It's also very interesting.
Wow! We haven't heard about this camp but have definitely heard of the V-2 rocket. That would be something we should see also.
There is a site close to Bremen. Its a large concrete bunker that was built by forced laborers. A lot of them died. The bunker was supposed to be factory for submarines. Bremen was liberated before the first submarine was built.
There is also a large historic site in Nuremberg.
Auschitz is really a documentary of a dreadful history that shall not be forgotten. Meanwhile there are other places like Treblinka II that are totally forgotten collective memory that may even be worse, as they show how organized this horror had become in some places. If you think Auschitz is hard, Treblinka II will break you.
You're right! I didn't really know about Treblinka until a couple of weeks ago when I found a documentary about it. If we are able to make it out there one day, I think it would be very important to do so. Thanks for the thought!
No purpose to compare one extermination camp to the other. To the inmates they were all horrific.
Auschwitz was a destruction camp, also Treblinka. The concentration camps were also used to make cheap ammunition for the war and weapons. It's a dark chapter in history. A lot of countries have a dark chapter. War is always the same! Some politicans haven't learn from the history. They want money and power. It's sad that war happen again and again because of stupid thinking and greed. If no one take a gun or another weapon, war will never happen again. People lost their lives for ideologies of people who don't care about them.
This is needed to know : a horrid place that should be better rased and planted with trees if it were not that important about History. Still, important or not, l would get rid of it.
Was set by the germans. Where from was this nazis. From Nazistan???
wait what?
The pronunciation was terrible. Had to end the video.
I would never want to visit.
The best thing anyone can do to prevent this from happening is run for office. Unfortunately most people don’t want responsibility.
Yea The entire Government under Germany 1933-1945 were under Nazi Rule. Even court rooms judges etc were following the Nazi ideology. Think about your own Government against you. Nothing you can do except hide. Even the intelligence for Nazi Germany was with hitler, that is what is scary.
After 1933 Germany instructed teachers from all German Schools to put the Nazi ideology into their school learnings. The Nazi symbol was in every German school.
life is depressing enough. why would anyone want to visit such a horrible place
its part of history
Education. If they endured it, we can certainly visit and spread education about this everywhere we can.
Jews worked there as kapos and sonderkommandos.
Keep All Nations Free Fight Against Communism
All this Never Again stuff doesn’t make any sense. Genocide has happened in Cambodia, Rwanda, and Sarajevo to name just a few so it has happened again many times since World War II.
Very impressive video, thanks for sharing this, I think everybody should visit this to remind what can people do to other peoples.
Thanks for that and we agree 100% with your sentiment!
