Auschwitz Birkenau - WARNING disturbing Images and Sound. 

I’m not scared of ghost or anything. I’m scared of how evil humans can be.

As someone who has visited Auschwitz & Birkenau in-person, I can assure you that it is so much more haunting than any photo or video. You feel shivers running down your spine at every twist and turn. With how scared I was in the 3 hours I was there, I cannot even imagine what it was like to be herded and kept in these awful conditions for months at a time. Despite how terrifying visiting the camp was, I don't regret it. I recommend everyone visit it if possible. It really is something that shows you precious life is, and how important it is to respect one another. Dehuamization is the worst thing any of us can do. Be kind :)

When I was a kid, I used to be scared of ghosts and vampires. Then I grew up and realised humans are way scarier.

I absolutely disagree with the people saying the music is disrespectful and unnecessary. It really brings you into the experience and really aids in showing how horrible it really was in the camps. The music really doesn’t do justice and can’t even come close to adding fear close to what the prisoners went through. May God rest all these tortured souls in paradise.

Those who do not learn from the past are condemned to repeat it. May God forbid.

Very, very , dark time in recent history, this isn't actually that long ago when you think about it, absolutely devestaing period in time.

It’s terrifying to see what humans can do to one another

This comment section is utterly disgusting. Are we as a society going backwards? All I see is people comparing the holocaust to other tragic events in the past, labelling one as potentially “worse” than the other, claiming they don’t believe that many people died, or worse, they don’t believe it happened at all. Some are even naming people or groups of people who “should be sent here”… No matter how much you dislike someone, or think they’re bad people, NOBODY deserves this. The pain and horror that these people went through should never, ever be something you wish upon other people. To hurt one is to hurt hundreds. We are supposed to be a community, and stand by each other, regardless of background, sexual orientation, identity, religion, or any other traits that define you. To make a mockery of this standard is beyond disgusting, and is in no way, shape or form acceptable. You don’t compare tragic events like these. Millions of people died, and you’re out here, probably feeling safe, fed and warm, uploading a youtube comment, being disrespectful on top of that, claiming how a certain event was ‘worse’ or ‘more horrific’. Even claiming you don’t believe any of this happened, how dense do you have to be? It’s really, really upsetting. Why people think making jokes about the suffering of humans is acceptable is beyond me, however, I’ve heard a lot. Hitler is not a joke, Nazi’s are not a joke, the genocide of human beings is not a joke. Genocide isn’t just something that happened, it is something that could happen at anytime, if another leader like Hitler comes into play. Nazi’s still exist, they are still active and real. Open your eyes, wake up! This community is in danger and your pitiful excuse for humor is making it seem unreal, it makes it seem secondary. What lack of humanity does one have to make the deaths from several forms of torture, as well as the lives lost from fighting in the war to free those enslaved at the camps and various other causes mean nothing? Clearly none. And if you side with them in any regards, you clearly share that lack of sympathy for humanity or the loss of lives. Kids in Germany in school are required to visit a concentration camp to demonstrate how bad the history of the Holocaust was, to prove that this is something that shouldn’t be repeated in history. It’s being taken seriously there. So why can’t it be taken just as seriously in the outside world?

For anyone who doesn’t like the soundtrack: That’s the point. It’s supposed to put you on edge, be unpleasant and unsettling. Think about it, wherever you are, you are most likely comfortable, fed, and safe. Viewing pictures of Auschwitz while safe and in the comfort of your own surroundings disconnects you from the true horrors of that place. The soundtrack is there to make you uncomfortable, to put your mind in a state of anxiety and help you understand on a more visceral level the true horror of that place. Being a little off-put by some sounds is pretty mild compared to how those poor humans surely felt while being shoved into a gas chamber, but that’s a feeling none of us among the living can experience.

I went here in summer of 2019 for a school trip in Europe. One of the most eeriest and depressing places I been to. You could just feel that something awful happened here. I was completely freaked out while walking around but thankfully I had my parents and a few friends with me.

The sounds makes it more real. They're probably what you would hear if you went there back when it was used by the Nazis. Children screaming, Guards marching, cries of pain... Absolutely horrifying and disgusting how evil they were.

What's the scariest thing is that it could basically happen anytime again...

So did like everyone get recommended this at the exact same time?

My husband and I visited this camp a few years ago. I couldn't explain the extreme sadness we both felt when looking at the babies clothes and shoes. The dish brushes that the woman packed with other everyday things they thought they would need had both me and my husband in tears. I would recommend if possible take the trip there. It was a real life changing experience for us .

I am sure the real horror in those camps cannot be told.

Whatever happened in Auschitz really reveals how messed up humans beings are to one another.

Besides everyone being here at once, my heart goes out to all the survivors and people who have died in this tragic incident, RIP.

i visited that place as well. It's such a dark and scary place...

I went there for a tour once. It was one of my most haunting experiences ever. It was chilling and it made me sick just thinking about what the poor innocent souls went through there. And to think that it wasn’t even 100 years ago makes me even more sick.

I have been to the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC, they also have a collection of shoes and the smell is haunting. It’s not like sweaty feet or mildew. It’s like the smell of pure fear, desperation and despair. It is one of the few olfactory scents that are left, and it is truly heartbreaking to think of how many souls were utterly destroyed and lost.

I visited Auschwitz three weeks ago. The energy is so so heavy. The air around you is just different, can’t describe it in words. What a sad time in human history.

This is such an emotional paradox. you are drawn to it out of morbid curiosity, then you can't believe what you see and you become more curious, and then, suddenly it vexes you, makes you so angry to think, HOW COULD PEOPLE DO THIS TO OTHERS!? To visit this place is on my bucket list, only if just to cry my heart out for humanity

All that grass wasn't there in the 40s, picture it all muddy as the jews were so hungry that if they saw a blade of grass they would eat it. Even more horrifying than you could imagine.

The ammount of disrispect in the comment section it's disgusting. I can't believe this.

Is everyone else getting this recommended as well in Feb of 2022???

I'm scared of how evil can humans be

One thing I took note of when watching a documentary on some survivors I think it was called numbered. Was back when these places were in operation there was no grass and they mentioned how if there was grass back then, they would have been eating it just to fill their bellies. It's something that sat with me. All the photos now compared to then and all you saw was mud now grass grows on cursed ground.

This can happen anytime again. Normal people where involved in this. We have to make sure something like this never happens again. The enormous hatred between people during Corona shocked me and made me remember that these people still exist, they just need a reason to do it again. It could be your neighbor or you friends, they can be capable of such thing.

"Wait until you see..." "See what?" "What a man can do to another man..."

The scary thing is that this is gonna happen again or is happening right now for example china

One of the most important truths I've learnt is that as kids, we're scared of ghosts, monsters, and whatnot. But the real scariest of them all is us, humans. One of the inscriptions etched in the Auschwitz camp read "If there is a God, he will have to beg for my forgiveness."

My heart went to everyone who was in these camps. ❤

I went there when i was 15 with my class, we travelled from France for just one day. The feeling in this place is so unique : it's like a huge graveyard, i felt instantly sad and quite emotional. I became aware of what really happened during WW2 because i could walk where all this dead people walk before me, i saw the same building that they saw. I hope everyone could go there and understand what i try to describe because it's a life changing experience.

As a Jewish person, I am so grateful for pictures and documentation like these. I really hope it helps educate people on how horrific and brutal the Halocaust was. I am second generation America, my great grandparents survived the Halocaust. My great grandmothers family was captured, but before transport to her final destination, she was able to escape with the help of resistance members and escape into the sewers. My great grandfather was captured and was being transported to his second concentration camp when they made a stop to collect more prisoners in France. He and a few others were lucky enough to make an escape into the sewers. My great grandparents met in the sewers of France, and spent years underground as a part of the French resistance. I was lucky enough to have them both in my life for a little bit. And I remember both of them showing me the numbers on their arms. I remember my great grandmother telling me how she would comfort those who came to hide with them. My great grandmother has an interview featured in the Halocaust archives, and I'm sure both of my great grandparents information are in there as well. I am honored to be a descendant of these brave and strong people. And I do my best to keep our story and culture alive.

Honestly, these events which took place were more horrifying than the scariest movie ever made. Unfortunately, this was not a movie but real life events. It's really sickening to me.

It really bothers me to even read the word “prisoner” in this context. This word implies that these innocent men, women and children did something to warrant this cruelty. They didn’t. They weren’t prisoners, they were victims. Captives. I’ll never understand violence. I’ll never understand the desire to hurt an innocent person. I’ll never understand this level of hatred. I am glad for that.

The music and all those screams make it even more terrifying. . I can't even imagine how hard it must have been for the people to live in there...

My mother's high school class saw the photos that eisenhower's troops took. They were sickened by them. Their teachers told them, "Never again!" Twenty years later, those photos were shown to my high school graduating class. Our teachers told us, "Never again!" Sometime after that, the photos were no longer shown. Too disturbing. Too raw. The cry of "Never again!" was stilled. Now the Holocaust is denied. So, such atrocities can--and will-- happen again. Those who won't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Still watching this years later in 2023 & the sounds still gives me CHILLS.

The only real disturbing thing about this is the fact that every object has been owned to some man woman or child who has been murdered. That and the horror sounds that had been put in here.

The algorithm has taken us to auschwitz for valentines

This is the scariest music or background sounds I've ever heard.

The background noise pretty much sums up the atrocities that happened there: The laughing: Nazis laughing at suffering Jews The creaking and squeaking: The doors to the camp and execution chambers The intense talking: People scrambling around The screams: Screams of the tortured The train noise: The trains arriving with thousands of Jews who will live through literal hell The ominous wind sound: The horrible ventilation that must’ve been there or even the sound of flames in the crematory.

I visited this hell hole a few years ago. Birkenau made Auschwitz look like a 5 - star all inclusive resort. Those poor, poor people. RIP ALL

People are really ignorant saying this and that about Republicans and Democrats in this video. Look at all the hate. So sad and pathetic.

So this just popped up on everyone's recommendations after 5 years?

I can’t even begin to imagine what life was like being in a place like this. Just the word Auschwitz makes my blood run ice cold!

Growing up when your parents told you there were no monsters…they lied. They are all around us….they ARE us

Let this be a warning to all mankind. Let us not allow history to repeat itself.

I hope all the innocent souls Rest In Peace, and I hope children learn to take it more serious than the comments they leave

My grandpa was in WWII, he never really spoke about the atrocities he saw. I can’t imagine what it’s like seeing this in person

Some of these comments are so disrespectful. This isn't a game or a story this all actually happened. So stop being disrespectful and have some empathy.

I’ve had it with these comments saying the sound is disrespectful. Just mute the video or get off the internet

I am 52, when I was 14 a ww2 veteran Donald Graber taught me to hunt. He was my grandad, best friend and uncle. He escaped Auschwitz, Duckow and Buchenwald. Just imagine.

Usually when I go to a funeral of any person that I know, I have a very specific feeling in my soul, that I cannot express or describe with words. When I visited Auschwitz in August 2015, I had the same feeling in my soul. I remember that it was allowed to take pictures outside but I didn't want to do that. I didn't feel that I should do that. Something inside me told my just to walk and be aware of my feelings at that moment.

Amazing atmosphere you captured in this, with the style. Very moving and sad.

I visited there, and there are areas there that made me nauseated, you could feel the evil & I kept smelling blood! It was a horrific time in history! I am not one who believes in ghosts but there is definitely some kind of terrible energy still there!

My wife's grandmother was a survivor of Auschwitz. God Bless her soul.

It's disturbing knowing that a former SS Guards Building is now a Catholic Cruch. The pictures in the kids' barracks are haunting. Most of the people who came in never came out. Their bodies are trapped.

I think the sound track is good it gives the viewer the feeling of the horror that went on at these places-it makes you feel the horror they felt and is not disrespectful it was their reality

Whatever way you look at this ,it’s one of the vilest crimes in modern history. How can a human do this to another is beyond recompense . I don’t like the music and sound,but the photography is very well and respectfully taken. I really hope that something like this never happens again,but sadly it still exists in a world we know little about !

The scary part is that humans have yet to learn what hate does. Hate will continues today. So sad!

fucked up how many people are being disrespectful. i myself have an incredibly dark sense of humor however some “jokes” are too far. millions of people lived in misery at these camps and withstood horrific and inhumane treatment that’s hard to even comprehend. Really fucking disrespectful to laugh at the poor people who had to live through this, rest in peace.

I'll pray for the souls lost there :( So sad

May it never be allowed to happen again! Thank you for sharing. I hope to one day go and see it.

I don’t think you could be in a sadder place than this.

The sound effects in the background really detract from the solemnity that should accompany these images. The audio sounds like one of those "ghost hunting" type shows.

Video: Gets posted over 5 years ago RU-vid: The people on Valentines day might like it

How is the music disrespectful? It puts it into perspective. It’s scary because this was a scary time to be alive.

These comments are so sad its not hard to respect those who lost their lives or survived through the tragedy 🙁

This gave me chills. The sound effects were so fitting as well. This is so well done!

This should never be forgotten. Thank you for sharing this.

At 1:23 there is a name on the luggage her name is irene hahn she was 5 yrs old when she was murdered it so sad and heartbreaking to know that she was so scared. Rip little angel and fly free

This is eerily perfect regarding the sounds that are captured in my opinion

The sound behind replicates the situation of Auschwitz that it witnessed many years ago...

We’re all created equal, religion and ideology separates all of us.

The ignorance of some people in this comment section is beyond disgusting.

This video was very well put together and horrifyingly showcases how awful the holocaust really was. People talk about how the sounds are unnecessary but I believe it emphasizes the truly horrific ambiance of this place. I apologize for all the hateful and ignorant comments, thank you for bringing awareness to the darkest part of human history.

Excellent collage of photos with descriptions. Thank you.

Why do people leave hate comments on the music? It’s says on the title, if you don’t like it then 1: Stop watching or 2: Mute it.

To this day that place just looks like the entrance to hell. I can’t begin to imagine the horrific torture they went through.

I think this may be an approprite moment to mention something. There's this kid in my section that is every bad thing; racist, homphobic, and even ant-semetic. He hated one of the songs we played just because it had, 'Hannakah' in the title. One day freshman year, that same kid spent like 5 minutes trying to convince me Hitler was a good person. No exaggeration, that's quite literally what he did. Remembering that makes this video even harder to watch. It's horrifying to see people expecially at a young age like mine, hold such disturbing beliefs. Calling him unempathetic is a severe understatement. It's absolutely outrageous people like that exist.

Thank you for sharing this with such great detail.

the photos are very well done, the way you were able to express the agony and pain in the photos really did make the whole video emotional. What happened in WWII will never be forgotten and should always be commemorated and respected for those who survived and passed away.

Crazy how reading the comments of this video reminds you how many pieces of trash live in this world.

the comments showing disrespect towards such a disgusting event is just horrendous

I think the creepy sound fit perfectly with this video, it gives you a sense of foreboding and utter terror of this hell on earth!!! The train sound is probably the most spine chilling sound of all!! Excellent job you really captured the horror of the holocaust better then any other video tour I have seen.

Anyone else find it creepy that we all got recommended this at the same time??

pov you got this on recommended on 2/23/2022

Take a moment to think about how haunted the place could be…

this shows how inhumane a human can actually be

This is still a marvel to me today, how we let this happen..how even his own people let this happen. We need to make sure this is never forgotten, make sure it can never happen again. Such evilness.

why are we all here at the same time when this was posted in 2017?

This has to be one of the most terrifying video I've ever seen. There have been reports of supernatural phenomenon occuring in Auschwitz. Visitors feeling blasts of cold dank air in barracks, one person went through a gas chamber and swore he felt hands touching and grabbing him. Objects have moved by themselves. Some college students have had bouts of sadness and crying. Also, ghostly wraths have been seen there.

Lord have mercy. So so sad and heart rending. How can humans have done these horrific things to another living thing.

I visited Auschwitz and Dachau with my children a few years ago. The minute you arrive and you step on the grounds you can actually feel the presence of those who have died there. Who were tortured and killed. The rooms that held all their personal belongings, especially their shoes....When were went into the Crematories it was very hard to stay composed. We cannot even imagine the horrors that they witnessed, the pain and torture that was inflicted upon them. How did some survive? We will never know.

For those who thinks the music is hurting ur damn ears, u should think about those who were tortured and killed there. The vid also issued warning before u watched and if u cant stand it, leave.

That soundtrack nailed it. I bet at night if u listen closely u can hear the yelling screaming shooting among other sounds.

8:37 in the dark you can see the shining eyes of the victims

I lived in West Germany from 1985 to 1989....right before the wall came down. This is all real...may history never repeat. We must keep this horrible reminder so it doesn't repeat
