How the "Final Solution" Came About: "The Four Pieces of the Puzzle" 

I am not German, I am not Jewish, but watching this brings me to tears. How could one Human be so cruel and evil to another human? God, please forgive us for our evils to each other

Wow. If one knew absolutely nothing of how or why the Final Solution ever came to be, this eloquent, succinct, cogent explanation is pretty much all you would ever need to know. Brilliant.

Interesting and well explained

To this day I can't get my head round their way of thinking, sickening. Very gradual process and caniving.

You would think that if their goal was a contradiction, that someone would have spoken up and said " maybe our goal is wrong"

Truly sick stuff :(

“Vernichtung” is a strange word, being a negation- it is to make nothing out of something. Another term the Nazis used was “Ausrottung,” used frequently to mean extermination.

Great summation. Thanks.

Great analysis. Thank you. In my view this doesn’t explain Holocaust by Bullets (HbB), which began with Barbarossa, before the US entered the war. What I understood was that HbB was the reason (perhaps the catalyst?) of the Final Solution, because of the logistic problems of killing Jews on the spot. Where am I wrong?

😢 way too many people have an unhealthy view of the Jewish people especially now on social media globally, Lord have mercy 🙏🏾 remember mercy O Lord.

All good points, but there's more and the explanation isn't sufficient. 1. Why did they talk about the Jews in that way? Why did they scapegoat them? One theory could be Rene Girard's mimetic desire theory. The Germans were very ambitious and still growing into their very long-awaited unity as a people. They were frustrated (to put it lightly) by the losses from WWI, and were very envious of American success and standards of living. According to Girard's theory, this contributes to mimetic rivalry and thus scapegoating as an outlet of the rage without taking on the model/rival. 2. Please read Timothy Snyder's 'Black Earth: The Holocaust as History and Warning'. One major point he makes is the necessity of the destruction of states in killing Jews. Jews were much more likely to be killed in places where the Soviets first destroyed the state's apparatuses and then the Germans did the same. It wasn't just the antisemitism per se, because nearly all European countries then were antisemitic, including the Western European nations.

Impossible to understand, God bless all the innocent souls lost in the evil that was the holocaust 😥😥🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😥😥

This is all very well and good, but with so much going on during that period it would be easy to avoid or ignore some key aspects, such as the Muslim contribution, which continues to this day.

Humanity is a sad creature when the abused becomes an abuser!

Without Jesus man became the instrument of Satan. A tragedy that is impossible to understand. Lord Jesus please help us.

We dont understand antisemitism where I am because we dont have it here, but this is really helpful for me to have a grasp of how key people's minds worked and how it had led to such an unimaginable thing as the holocaust. I have always been unable make sense of it before, though they repeatedly teach about it in world history in school.

"Extirpated"? Nice word. Articulate. However, the more appropriate word in the context of NAZIs, and Communists is eliminated.

No.....this applies to BIDEN AND DEMOCRATS

There is no difference between the Hamas and Nazis ..

Sounds like what American Republikkkans tout now?
