Michael Berenbaum - Face to Face with death, the Sonderkommando 

Yea he is he seems deeply passionate about the study of the Holocaust

Irony? Yes?

Yes me too

Me too. It became an obsession. I see snd read everything related to it

So, I think, you can look at it like this: Everybody lucky enough not to be killed in nazified Europe HAD to participate, at least to some extent, in what was happening. The guy who drove one of the trains COULD have quit his job, but was there another job for him to do? Maybe not. And food was scarce, it always is during a war. But even people who did totally innocent jobs, like an accountant, was probably helping to balance the books whose numbers helped allocate other resources for this. The right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing in situations like this. When I was in my first year at uni, I had to take a sort of doing-business-in-engineering class, and I'll never forget this advice my professor gave us. He said "One day, you may find yourselves in a tough spot, legally. You've written several blocks of code that ended up contributing to a crime. You may find yourselves in court as a result. And after providing any data you're asked for, you MAKE SURE that you respond to questions of culpability by saying 'Your honour, I just wrote a few blocks of code." When I graduated, I was immediately offered a job that would have had me configuring automated weapons. It paid pretty well for a new grad. But I turned it down, ended up working as a low-income app developer for the next year instead. I don't regret that choice. It felt creepy. Here is a clip from a movie (not related to the Holocaust or war, but poignantly relevant nonetheless) that I think can help explain why these bastards were able to industrialize killing on a massive scale. Other than the "headless blunder" bit, it's pretty spot on, as far as I can see. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-boDgkH7Yw-0.html

Holidayin germany so what was the point of the comment?

Yes, it's good to keep the narrative, but I'm not sure what you find poorly structured about Berenbaum's lecture. It's not the most efficiently structured lecture, but how could a lecture about such things be perfectly efficient whilst also delivering a narrative with the gravity that this deserves?

Counted on the way in.

There wete some eyewitness accounts of very young children being stuffed over the heads of the adults. The volume, the empty space above the prisoners heads was even used!

@@Shazzadut1 and likely counted on the way out too. To “balance the books”, and I feel gross just typing this kind of sterile statement, but I suspect it was practice.

Care to elaborate on this? What makes you say he's an imposter?

Sounds like one of those pathetic Holocaust deniers it's been well proven whether you like it or not. these people that perpetrated this are the devil incarnate may they rot in hell for eternity along with the deniers that can't face the truth when it's staring them in the face.🤔

Too bad the reply section doesn't allow for the use of crayons and brown papers sacks. You might feel more at home.

@@michaeltowslee4111 You are correct. I can't agree with you more.

Reread Bernbaum's sources

They are not work camps it's actually reeducation camps. The workers are well looked after stop spreading false propaganda

We don't

When he was president Donald told Xi that he was doing the right thing and that he didn't have much of a choice. What an inhumane piece of shit.

Haha..God lol

God gave man the ability to think, reason, and self-will. There is a reason why galaxies and solar systems are so distant from each other.

When you click on the Settings of this video you can translate it to whatever language you want 😉 too, wow someone that doesn't have common sense 🤣🤣🤣 about the Settings how you can translate what you want to hear this in your own language 🤣🤣🤣.....

Honestly, RU-vid should have a more robust subtitling set of algorithms in general. It’s a huge undertaking, but RU-vid is a huge platform. That being said, RU-vid CAN provide subtitles in a lot of languages. On the top right of your video (on mobile, and I think it’s near the video progress bar on web) click on the gear icon to open the video’s settings. And click on Captions. This will open a new menu that will give you an “Auto-translate” option. Click that, and you can select your preferred language from a list. I don’t use it too often, so hopefully it works for you. Edit: I just tried this in another language that I speak, and it works fairly well!

@@juergen8361 common sense has nothing to do with understanding the inner workings of every app imaginable. Common sense is more akin to the statement I just made.

Hi vast active! The movie they are talking about is Son of Saul (2015), directed by Làszló Nemes. The movie has won the Oscar for the Best foreign language film of the year in 2016 ( it is a Hungarian movie).

Rita Stadler yes since found and watched, wasn’t a great fan sorry

@The Richest Man In Babylon just kinda feel there was no story line just following a script, maybe because I’m already familiar with the atrocities I wasn’t as affected as others might be

They are still here

@@jayo3074 yes, I believe there are still about 245k or more Jewish survivors still alive. And this number doesn’t account for the number of survivors from other persecuted groups who are also still alive. “Survivor” is kind of a contextual word, of course, and doesn’t just refer to people who survived the camps directly, but can also refer to people who were in hiding for the duration of the holocaust, evacuees, and others who are referred to as flight survivors, or indirect survivors. For example, a pregnant woman who fled a country at risk of nazi occupation gives birth shortly after arriving to safety. That newborn, as well as the mother, of course, would be considered a holocaust survivor. A baby born in 1940, who is still alive now, would only be in their 80s today.
