- Johann Niemann joined the Nazi Party at age 18. He was not only a true believer in Nazi racist ideology, but also an opportunist seeking to rise above his humble origins. Niemann demonstrated his loyalty by becoming a guard at a concentration camp, participating in the systematic murder of people with disabilities at “euthanasia” facilities, and then facilitating the mass slaughter of tens of thousands of Polish Jews. For this, he was rewarded with a promotion to deputy commandant of the Sobibor killing center when he was just 29. Niemann was so proud of his "glory days" that he documented his journey in private photo albums, which are now part of the Museum’s collection. Join us on the anniversary of the prisoner uprising at Sobibor to learn how an “ordinary German” so quickly became a professional killer and died at the hands of those he sought to obliterate.

In 1969 I was a 22-year-old soldier in
Augsburg, W. Germany. One evening, as I
sat with some local German folk, a young
woman began to berate Americans for the
way they treat blacks. A few moments
later she said, “If we could get rid of those damn
Jews.” I was shocked. My father was a B-24 pilot
and P-38 pilot over Germany twenty-four years before
and I thought he’d cleaned up Germany. The point
is that all Europeans needed little to manifest hatred
of Jews. It is almost as if it were inborn.
I have encountered this attitude from many younger Germans - but never from German Americans, so I don't think it is genetic. In fact German Americans fought against the Nazis, with distinction.
@Sarah Hodgins Sarah, I think they are to be found in many European countries also so we need to remain vigilant and always defend the Jewish people against negative comments and 🎬.
@@ralphvon283 Yes, my father and my uncle were US Army soldiers in WW2
I remember growing up in the USA in the 60's. As a kid television was a big thing. Many war movies were shown, but most of these movies depicted the Nazis in a romantic glorious mode that American soldiers defeated. Sometimes the movies depicted the evil hateful SS gestapo types, and then the British, or American soldiers defeated them. I was an unusual kid--- I watched PBS allot, and saw the many horrible films of the concentration camps right after they were liberated. Being young, those films made a huge impression on me. That's why my abhorrence of Nazis or any political movement anywhere that mimics the Nazi is so strong. Being American, I understand the right of political beliefs, and religion should be free under the Bill of Rights. It is difficult to believe that a political organization that espouses racism, and murder should be free to express itself in my country. I like the German political system today that has laws against any organization including religions that express the right to make slaves out of anybody let alone murdering them. For example, German laws came down on Scientology in Germany years ago for making their parishioners work for nothing (like slaves).
And yet the germans under merkel let in millions of Muslims ...germans never learn.
I live in Germany and I hate this country with all my heart, can't wait to leave in 2 months, its gonna be my new birthday
@@joeyveres4633 So, I'm curious, Joey. Do you watch these documentaries on the horrors of Nazism, racism and prejudice and think being Islamophobic is acceptable? Are you in any way self-aware?
@@queenannesrevenge1437 im very aware. Unlike you my friend. Islam is a very dangerous genocidal political system. Its right upthere with Nazism and communism!You can't be this blind to the facts!!!!!
Tv had a big influence on you.
Sobibor was my first recognition of the holocaust. In fifth grade our teacher had us watch "Escape from Sobibor".....this movie absolutely left an impression on me.
@Kevin Burke Where might I see this movie?
That's the one with the homicidal shower room that had big breakable plate glass windows right?
What an atrocity. Brainwashing fifth graders using people they trust.
Did you know that in the agreement that Germany was made to sign after the war there was the complete surrender of their educational system to be under English control. Now why would that be necessary if you weren’t attempting to brainwash a culture?
The movie was good but the book will really leave an impression on you.
@@deltanovember1672A movie is just that not real
My daughter's middle school teacher told her class: "All people had to do was say no!".
I was appalled at her naiveté and ignorance of what it was really like in and outside Germany during that period. Bless the people who stood up to the Nazis, many of them paid a terrible price.
Her teacher sounds like an idiot. Alot of people had bo choice while others reveled in the violence.
And the teatcher is rigth
all 3 of the (Sophie Scholl and 2 others). Every other German was cheering for the mass murderers, whatever they may say to the contrary.
No one was FORCED to join the SS. No one was FORCED to be a guard or administrator of a Nazi concentration camp. No one was FORCED to join the Einzsetsgruppen (death squads). These individuals willingly applied for these positions, and remained in them even after learning of the atrocities committed against innocent civilians, including children. In fact, much research has been conducted on this very topic. There is no record of a Nazi being disciplined or killed for declining to take part in murder. Joining the Nazi party WAS compulsory to live, work, & support a family in Germany. However, stealing property, torture, abuse, and murder, was an individual choice.
You say no and get killed
Simply wonderful. Such a painful topic, handled with such empathy and tact. We weep to listen to this story but our spines bristle because we know that where green-black clouds gather, the whirlwind will descend. Our times are again like those of 1932. Everyone needs to watch and listen, or all is lost. THANK YOU. Some of us are watching and listening, and we have learned and will do our best. GOD SPEED US ALL we are stirring we are not sleeping
Whan I did my semester in college in Germany I learned about an NCO named Hanz Stoltz in the German Wehrmacht, he witnessed the SS murder several children in an orphanage in Lublin Poland, when he saw this his account in his diary said that after the shock he turned his machine gun on the SS men and mowed them down. He grabbed three of the kids and deserted the Wehrmacht and fled to Switzerland where he protected those three kids. After the war he went back to West Germany and adopted and raised the three kids he rescued from the orphanage.
Hanz seems like a very good and honorable person as he helped those children and rescued them and protected them and then adopted and raised those children as his own. He was a very good and kind person.
Edna and Anatol, you both did a superb job of analyzing and reporting very factually and objectively so we can understand without bias and opinions what took place. Thank you very much.
Amen. May we always reflect on the potential for good and evil in our souls.
I have original documents (I've put them in order) of my neighbor's father. He was a Catholic and his parents were in the resistance. His mother was beheaded in front of the Father who had a heart attack. The father of my neighbor was 12. He was taken to the "child's camp" at Dachau and then transferred to the "adult camp" when he was 16. He was liberated. I have tried to contact Jewish Organizations in the USA but because he was Catholic, no one is interested. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get this man's story out? It's a truly fascinating story - I have over 300 official documents. Thanks.
Contact the Shoah foundation.
@@SD-co9xe But Shoah is Jewish.Perhaps they won't want to know either.
Try the Smithsonian Institute.
@@ingridclare7411 Shoah does many interviews with non-Jewish survivors and liberators.
Bullshit
A very remarkable and yet so clear and simple presentation.
Well done presentation! Wonderfully and respectfully told. Thank you.
This is frightening......and could very easily happen again.
It is happening in India
This is happening all over the world today. Persecution of many religious groups in Nigeria, Columbia South America, North Korea, India, Iran, China, Afghanistan just to name a few
It could be happening China right now for all we know. North Korea definitely is, anyone practicing an "outside" religion is put in slave camps for life (Christian convert, Jewish convert, etc.).
It's happening in Ukraine 🇺🇦 😭
It's happening in Gaza and West Bank.
Thoughtful, Thank You!
Never underestimate the capacity of ordinary people to commit acts of extraordinary Evil, or be indifferent to the Evil being perpetrated....... because when push comes to shove nearly all of us are capable of the most horrific acts to protect what we perceive as out own self interests,....... the only reason we can sit here discussing this issue in relative affluence and comfort is because decisions are being made that enable us to do so while millions die of hunger and disease every year and hundreds of millions live in poverty and suffering,.... and who amongst us is even concerned about that, we're not so different are we?
actually all sorts of people have been through wars, including many Americans, and think of the American soldiers who were held captive in the most brutal conditions imaginable during the war, did any of them become mass murderers of Japanese or Germans after the war? They had all the motivation necessary. German "Kultur" turned out to be a complete and total lie.
@@ralphvon283 Yes and in the course of those wars many, many atrocities and acts of mass murder and Genocide have been perpetrated, the bombing of Dresden in Feb'45 by the allies when the war was nearly over resulting in tens of thousands of civilian casualties, the fire bombing of Tokoyo in March'45 which again resulted in over 100,000 civilian deaths and the dropping of the atomic bombs on hiroshima and Nagasaki was the culmination of this policy of mass murder by the so called "Civilised " Allies,....... all of these actions were planned and executed by "Ordinary Men", so much for American and British Culture,......... but on this particular issue, the perpetrators of the holocaust, you need to understand the background to the Holocaust, Killings and mass murder of Jews was commonplace throughout European "Christian" history, it was nothing new, what was new was the extent to which the Nazis perpetrated it, the industrialised killing machine, ......... the holocaust was a product of history, jewish persecution, the defeat of germany in WW1 that caused crippling hardship, the propaganda that put all of germanys problems, including the defeat in WW1 at the hands of the Jews and the Economic collapse following the Wall street crash in 1928, the Holocaust was the final result of years of persecution of the jews by the Nazis, their demonisation, their exclusion from German Society and their portrayal as traitors and Criminals, put that mix together and see how easy it is for "ordinary" men and women to behave as monsters, if you look at US history, particularly the treatment of Indigenous Indians and Black slaves youll see the very same forces at work, given the right conditions the seeds of Hate, intolerance and blood lust can take root in all of us, these men, the SS that manned the death camps were not monsters, but in the main just"Ordinay men".
We'll said
What I struggle to understand is what you examine with Niemann. He renounces his church connection. Over 50% of Germany was baptized Lutheran and 28% Catholic during this period. How an entire nation could look away and or participate in such crime is a great mystery to me. I am grateful for your video.
One of the few religions only engaged in killing each other if different nations were the Jehovah Witness. They never shot another person and were enslaved in both Allied and Axis nations. There was no hiding place.b
It’s not Germans, or any nation, or a particular individual. It is the darkness in the hearts of all mankind. We are all capable of the worst even though we like to think otherwise.
@@kipling1957 I agree completely. It is just that cultural Christianity was so easily laid aside in that period of Germany.
Christianity is a genocidal ideology
@@exiledhebrew1994 Too simplistic an analysis.
I remember watching a movie "Escape from Sobibor" (1987). It was an excellent movie - but shocking and hard to watch a lot of times. I remember (from the movie) a lot of the things you're speaking about in this video.
Very good documentary.
An excellent video with fact, information and rational analysis. Thank you.
No difference between Himmler and Beria. Hitler and Stalin. Or S.S. and N.K.V.D.
Historical illiterate here. Stalin was not an 'exterminationist.' Hitler was!
The Nazi's thought of everything, except of course where they would spend eternity 😶
True, hell.
Not all Germans were nazis. In fact, most of them weren't.
@Michael Dunetz who are the snotzis?
They were all Christ followers; they believe they would enter heave.
@@giovannidebiase8479 think back to your pre-teen era. Mucus, snot, spit, yukk!
BLESSINGS
I can understand a little bit about the reason folks could do this. When I was in my early twenties I joined the US Army with the attitude that if someone of higher rank gave me an order I would do it, with no question. And of course even if you didn't want to do these horrible crimes you couldn't refuse or you to would be shot. So self preservation comes to mind.
The "I was only following orders" defense has long been discredited.
@@thegatekeeper715that is indeed true. There was not a single case of German soldiers being executed or severely punished for refusing to kill Jewish people. In reality they often had the option to refuse to take part in the killings and those who refused to kill weren’t severely punished and were rather given another assignment. A good example of this is a Battlion of 500 Nazis known as Police Battlion 101 who were sent to Poland and were later assigned to take part in the shootings of Jewish people along with them also taking part in the deportations of thousands of Jewish people to the Treblinka extermination camp where they were killed. In one of the first killings that the battalion took part in its leader Wilhelm Trapp gave his men an offer that if any of them did not want to take part in the killings they could opt out without being severely punished. Some of the soldiers took Trapps offer and as Trapp promised them they weren’t severely punished and were rather just given other assignments. Unfortunately of the 500 people in the battalion only 20% of the people in the Battlion took Trapps offer while the rest of the battalion willingly took part in the killings. Police Battlion 101 was responsible for the deaths of 83.000 Jewish people with them killing 38.000 Jewish people via shooting and with them sending another 45.000 Jewish people to the Treblinka extermination camp where they were killed.
Given the examples other genocides and mass murders of the previous century, the truth is it's not so difficult to find the Johan Niemanns of the world. The key lies in the creation of the enabling socio-political conditions.
The key lies in enabling culture
@@Dodo-ym8cc Enabling yes. Boredom anger and economic stress in the Country all added to the rising hatred and need for something in a fallen country after the Great War as it was known....
The same can be said for the Cold war and the Khymer rouge
@@julz3tt3 And the Zionist.
I've noticed these high ranking SS Gestapo, or high ranking soldiers were all lower middle class peasants if you will. They were often poor and had little option for work and getting ahead which is all great for people who need good paying jobs but it's at the cost of millions of lives. All you have to do is sell your soul and renounce everything you once believed in.
Much like the IDF.
Hitler appealed to Germans by promising to return Germany to its formal greatness. Hmmm, now why does that sound so familiar???
Dumb comment
You deserve the communists take I over of the country, not me
@@catman8670 nationalism is on the rise in many countries. Touchy subject for you?
Hear hear.
As an American I totally agree with you.
*How Did Ordinary Citizens Become Murderers?* The Jews ask ... look around you, is my response. A statement by Hermann Goering, at the Nuremberg Trials, explains the method.
“Why, of course, the people don’t want war,” Goering shrugged. “Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don’t want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood.
*“But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship.”*
“There is one difference,” [+++++] pointed out. “In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars.”
( *WRONG +++++ THAT HASN'T BEEN THE CASE FOR A LONG TIME* )
“Oh, that is all well and good, [replied Goering] but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”
( *ONLY THIS TIME THE TARGET WILL BE 666 MILLION* )
"“Oh, that is all well and good, [replied Goering] but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”
He really wasn't incorrect.
Not they are not like you and me lady, just because they are also humans doesn’t mean they are like you and me is simply to understand evil does exists in this world and when someone lost their moral values they become a empty beasts now mix that with delirious of power and ambition that is the result.
I am noticing in my country canada the rise if satanism and coldness, callousness and indifference to the plight of the poor people in my country its despicable. The masons in my country are the worst in the world they are savages and are much like the nazis of that time. Capable of sadism and cruelty beyond comprehension. This type of nazi ideology can happen anywhere at anytime.
Look at the thugs who are sent to prison today for drugs and violence offences. Put an SS uniform on them and there you have it -all the ingrediants for torture and brutality. It just needs fine tuning and you have a human weapon who will kill easily and enjoy it. Look at genocide in the 3rd world. Men are willing to kill and its normal for them. Frightening stuff
yeah they were definitely not "ordinary" people
I don't understand stand why people say they are not monsters. Everyone has a conscience. Everyone has a choice to do right or wrong.
Netanyahu is a monster.
For those who reject God, it's a small step to reject any semblance of morality.
It becomes a case of group think and a craving to be accepted by your peers. That which becomes acceptable to the group becomes the only "morality" acceptable.
Individual thought and the conscious ability to recognize evil becomes numbed to the point that the only morality acceptable is the morality created by the mob mentality to which you adhere.
You no longer have the ability to separate good from evil. They become juxtaposed to the point that they become meaningless.
The same thing is happening on the American left today. Their prejudice is created.and sustained by their peer group.
When one walks away from morality that has sustained civilization for thousands of years, it's a walk into darkness.
I think it is an overly simplistic conclusion to say it these things happened because of "rejecting God". Rudolph Hoss, the Auschwitz camp commandant was raised in a devoutly catholic family and in his youth was encouraged by his parents to train for the priest hood. I would suggest that there is a whole confluence of many differing circumstances in the period from 1920 to 1933 that moulded the minds and allowed for the rise of the Nazi state. I would suggest viewing the excellent talk by Laurence Reece on the dark charisma of Adolf Hitler that is available on CZcams, it is a bit long but well worth the time for an eye opening insight into the Germany of that period.
Christians were the most anti semitic of the bunch.
@Sarah Hodgins They certainly were not following Christ but they were definitely Christians. And religion was used to denigrate the Jews as Christ killers and so on. Religion is a creation of the human imagination and it causes imaginary divisions among people.
When we are pushed and pulled by envy or majoritiarism and populism , we forget ourselves and succumb to the worst possible base instincts . Thanks for this video.

@@tatonemio6388 hope you feel better after that narrative.
This is no excuse, but German/Austrian soldiers had no control over where they were sent. By contrast a British POW captured in Crete ended up as a POW at Auschwitz III camp

Why did the Ukrainian people help the germans?
Same ethnic tensions and resentments as in others parts of Eastern Europe. Also, Ukraine had suffered from famines, and perhaps many desired for independence. Germany promised this. A final reason: the threat of the gun. City officials were required to assist rounding up the Jews. Soviet partisans also were targeted.
@@majorkade Didn’t Hitler say racist remarks and then put the leader of the Ukrainian collaborators after he asked for Ukrainian independence.
Because for them anything was better than Stalin’s communism and the Great Famine he engineered in the 1930’s which killed millions of Ukrainians.
They looked upon the Germans as liberators from hated ethnic Russian oppression, kind of like the Italians greeted the Americans as liberators after Anzio
they hated STalin, communism and most likely Jews. Also it kept them from being enslaved or killed.
So sad to hear from a Jewish historian that Niemen was like "all of us, a normal human being" nothing to do with his upbringing? his culture? his belonging to the German nation? History is presented with a point of view, a naive point of view.

My uncle was an interpreter during the Nuremberg trials as he could speak n interpret in 5 languages and was later brought to play the piano or his guitar for nazi entrainment
For some reason he brought home pictures of. mountains and mountains of dead and or dying people.
He also played the piano and guitar of which he was made to play for national entertainment even though he was an American military staff.
Why he never said.
He later said he was promised less days as an interpreter. As these events n pictures, and the national interpretations must have more than my uncle could take.
I refuse to capitalize the word nazi.
Seems incredible to think of Operation Paperclip et all - amazing that so many Nazis just walked free - and straight into jobs and houses in America. Certain agencies in America are now more Nazi than the Nazis; roots, shoots and berries!
The word nazi was invented by Winston Churchill in order to give the German people a friendly nickname. Churchill had names for all nations. He called the Vietnamese "gooks" and the Indians a name , I won't mention here. He called New Zealand soldiers (and Italians) cowards. Churchill was a hard man.

I wish there were some good German that used their conscience to hide and protect some Jewish people whenever they got the chance. Just simply looking for little positivity from this devastating holocaust history.
There actually were Germans who did that. For some reason there isn’t a lot of media out there presenting this. I’m not saying there was a bunch, but there were some Germans who were horrified and did what they could to help. Some that didn’t fall for the Cult of Hitler, nor were so afraid they didn’t want to help.
Search: "Weiße Rose" in Google. Luckily there were some Germans that were trying to fight against the nazi goverment and some of them had to pay with there life... but there were not many people like that. Bless them

May we never be called upon to make such a decision again.
@@pevitzachast6892 LOL! I don't think I'm "noble" because I know that "ordinary" people don't slaughter other humans. That's silly and you come across as thinking YOU are noble (and a little creepy) in your confession that "darkness and treachery inhabit" you. Again, speak for yourself. I'm guessing that you also think that "ordinary people" slaughter a million babies a year... 63 million and counting. What she said (and what you say) comes across as almost a justification. I'm not so stupid as to not understand that when my life is on the line, I will be more easily persuaded to go against my own morals, but I'm a born again Christian and, among other things, I believe what the Scriptures say in that when that horrific hour is upon me, the Holy Spirit will tell me what to say and do. So, you'll have to find some other stupid person to apply that done-to-death bridge sell to. I've watched a ton of these documentaries from the National Holocaust Museum (and been to the museum itself) and almost every single one of them close with preachy, virtue-signaling leftist ideology about how we all need to come together, sing Kumbaya... and just be a little more selective in who we justifiably hate... which we all know is conservatives, Christians and, of course, anyone who doesn't hate Donald Trump. The same spirit of antichrist who tried to bring about his "final solution" trough Hitler will soon make another appearance. This time, Jews will adore him as their messiah who has all the answers for mankind.

Why Germans Americans doing sane to this day.
It sickens me that the national German government allowed former SS and other murderers who survived the war, to return to civilian jobs. They had names of concentration camp workers or general SS, why werent each one chased down for reasons of justice and morality? This is just another stain on Germany, post-war for years. Disgraceful that Germany ignored these murderers and allowed them to return to civilian life.
It's perfectly normal when rebuilding a society after war etc. It was the same in Bosnia and Iraq, for example. Unfortunately, under a dictatorship, everyone who wants to progress in their career needs to be a member of the Party (be it SS / Gestapo etc.). and to exclude everyone merely on that basis means you exclude anyone with any expertise.
Therefore, you weed out the worst ones but just have to let the rest get on with it, or it will be a very long, expensive and wholly impractical process to train up "clean" people from scratch.
