I'm from Lithuania, and I applaud her and want to thank her for doing this.
Your people and country are astoundingly brave and inspiring, today. Hats off to you 👌🏼👏🏻
You hit the nail right on the head there sue.. Civilians had no say in it.. The bigwigs decided we were at war and we all all suffered for it
EXCEPT, those bigwigs didn't appear out of thin air. Yes they ruthlessly rose to power, but they rose to power with ideas inculcated throughout their society. They became "big" because they knew how to exploit those ideas in ways that would help them consolidate power.
@@j.criquette3334 Through control of the press, they used propaganda.
Bless her heart!
Lots of love and blessings to you xx
This is heartbreaking.
Excellent observations Sue . Few of us who register as ' English ' truly are . We have heritage from many different places if we did but know it .
FEW? Hardly
@@thestonewallpoetry4330 French, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Jewish, Scottish, Irish, Welsh, Belgian, Scandinavian (of which my ancestors were some), German, Austrian, Swiss, ... sorry I don't think its worth listing literatlly every country and ethnicity in Europe (and that's not even including former colonies) - but you get the picture. At some point in the last 200 years you have someone among your direct ancestors who is not English. And if you don't, I hate to break it to you, but someone was piddling in the shallow end of your gene pool. Because that's just how an interconnected global world works.
@@thestonewallpoetry4330 Semantics , Those of us who register as English rarely are .

“That they always pay the price for the decisions the big guys make.” As true today as it was then. Look at the suffering being exacted onto Ukrainian citizens because of what one warped individual thinks and believes! An atrocity unfolding before our very eyes. And we remain powerless to stop it?
Lol there’s so called Ukrainian have same view as Nazis
@@Vampybattie I hope you have now seen through Putin's propaganda. You can be grateful to the Ukrainian people, especially women, feeding and caring for Russian soldiers whose tanks broke down, they were without food. They understand many are young, scared and starving men, with families who miss them. They understand that is Putin who is ordering bombing of hospitals and schools. They understand that every soldier fighting them willingly is because they have grown up brainwashed by Putin's bubble of propaganda, and so they believe the lame excuses he makes up to expand his territory, such as the nonsense that Ukrainians, as a whole, are Nazis. NATO wouldn't be supporting them if they were. Like every country, there are probably an extremely tiny minority of Nazis who do not represent the country as a whole. They have little relevance. The issue is that Putin values himself, and his wealth and power, over all other human life. If he was a secure man, he wouldn't ban, jail, punish or kill dissenters of his propaganda.
@@Vampybattie Sure Vlad & I'm gonna be the first Female Atheist Pope. Can the Bullshitzski because no ones falling for it.
It scares me how recent this was!
Perhaps this is why I've never been able to find much information on my Lithuanian heritage. Such a horrible thing to even think about.
Sending blessings from 🇱🇹
Just knew Sue from.the documentery series Mekong River, love her attidue and presenting. I wish she could do Mekong trip again after like a dozen years ago.
'MAN HAS DOMINATED MAN TO HIS INJURY '
Lithuania, roots we were very lucky to get away
Due to Stalin-Hitler pact of 1939 the Republic of Lithuania have lost over 40% of it's population. WW2 ended up in Lithuania only on 31th of August 1993, when the last Soviet Russian soldier left the country. There is no country in Europe, which demographical loss was bigger because of WW2. Lithuania have lost 8% of it's population due to Nazie German occupation and 32% - due to British Ally (Soviet Russia).
That's super depressing
Well said
LUV Sue she's my girl crush X ABSOLUTELY brilliant xxx
Compelling story..
The Soviets got Estonia, Lativa, Lithuania and the eastern watch of Poland now half of Beloruse and western Ukraine.
I knew that the Germany of Hitler also eradicated/murdered/killed those who had what is now termed learning difficulties and physical deformities, even certain diseases also. This included German citizens some of whom were prescribed a 'Kur' - in Germany people still can be sent medically for a recuperation period, so this wasn't unusual, however in the Nazi era those people never reappeared. I do not know if there has been an assessment of how many died as a result of this policy. 5 million Jews, 1.5 - 2.5 million gypsies/Romanies, 0.5 million gays (I assume all male) and ?????
That were the "Euthanasie"-programs. From the very beginning on - July 1933 - there was a law implemented for the "prevention of offspring with hereditary deseases", which resulted of around 350.000 to 400.000 people sterilized against their will or without knowledge. In 1939 programs of killing people with severe disabileties or mental illness. there are no reliable data, but at least 300.000 were killed. It came to a short halt in 1941, when some judges and priests, especially the bishop Clemens von Galen protested. But the killing of children in homes for disabled, concentration camps and the occupied countries continued in secret. And lots of doctors and nurses willfully participated. Yet another awful crime commited by the Nazis.
In Germany this is well known. There are a lot of Dokumentation and documentaries about this topic. Most of these people where loved. That is why euthanasia still has a difficult place here. Because that is what the nazis named it. But it was just killing people even children were not safe. All together 200.000 people died of "euthanasia"
Though the (N)atzi's did primarily send Gay men to the camps. The 0.5 million that were classified as 'Gay' & unalived. Included Gays, Lesbians, Bi & Trans individuals.
They were considered to be the lowest of the low by the other prisoners in the camps. Even some of the guards thought they were 'worse' than the Jews in the camps.
What's even more horrible is those who managed to survive the camps. We're often prosecuted by their own countries. When they returned because they were LGBTQ.
There's a good documentary called The Pink Triangle that details what LGBTQ prisoners went through in the camps. Watch it with a couple of boxes of tissues.

That program is *_Aktion - T4_* ..... I guess .
Correct.
Which area is bigger, Sue's heritage or Mel's?
This was a beautiful episode, I cried, I laughed.
Tf did u laugh at?
Mels is bigger
@@creativejamieplays7185 There were some quite funny bits (it IS Sue Perkins, after all)... the bit in the beginning with Mel as they were looking at the photos comes to mind.
❤❤❤
Makes u wonder if Hitler had a child who was disabled what would have happened
The child would have been immediately unalived at birth & the propaganda department. Would have said it was still born or had died of an illnesses. If the disability wasn't immediately obvious at birth.
@@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980but would have Hitler personally killed his child either himself or ordering the child’s death? Yes Hitler was a monster who willingly killed millions of innocent people but would he have had the willingness to murder his own offspring?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The system really upsets her...
Fortunately my ancestors had blue eyes.... That sounds ridiculous 😡
😿
