SCHINDLER'S LIST (1993) | MOVIE REACTION | FIRST TIME WATCHING | Arab Muslim Brothers Reaction 

I recommend The 13th Warrior - the main character is Muslim, I think you would enjoy it.

I just would like to comment on your assessment of Schindler throughout the film: Maybe you got a bad idea of him from the very beginning since he's painted as a powerful, egomaniac and self-righteous man only working only for himself, which he was in the beginning, both, in the movie and in real life, but there were little hints at his future turn and how he got there. Yes, he was a profiteer and exploitative businessman at the very beginning of the story, the same as in real life; he thought of the Jewish people very little but he also deep down despised the German Nazi officers occupying his city, he was just playing along to gain their trust and use them to his advantage. In the end it is shown how he grew and evolved to care about and feel more for all people and try to protect the Jewish he was initially dismissive and indifferent about. He tried to be close to the top officers to keep his business working and to deviate attention from him. However, throughout the film he evolved into caring about the people and people's situations as well, not only business and numbers, as well as to learning how unjust, evil and despicable the Nazi mentality driven soldiers and officers were, so he grew a deep hate for them. At the very beginning you were right, he wasn't working against them nor trying to be a "double agent" but he despised Nazis and was analyzing and observing them so he could be able to manipulate and get as many of them in his pocket, he was cold and calculating as the business man he was. He was as opportunistic as possible to his advantage but started to feel guilty for using Jewish people as slave labor basically. He intentionally got many people to work for him, more than he needed and sometimes people who weren't skilled in factory working, just to get them away from the Nazi regime's hold. He started to not only think of them as people he could profit but as people who were struggling and suffering. For example in the scene where the old one-armed worker goes to thank him, you're right on the assessment of him feeling guilty or growing uneasy about his conscience; he dismissed the worker for two reasons: 1. Keeping the appearances / facade of being a Nazi sympathizer, as to not arise any suspicions, if the rumours of him being nice to his workers spread. 2. Because he felt guilty about himself and didn't want to grow expressive and show how he really felt, he wasn't able to live with his consciousness. When he sees the little girl is a sign of a turn or change in his mind by realizing how helpless and innocent these people were against the violent and repulsive nature of the Nazi soldiers and sympathizers who were hateful, violent, ruthless and horrible towards these helpless people. You can see a turn in his eyes, in his demeanor from this point on and then tried to, with little gestures, help the Jewish little by little however he could. By the end we have the full circle closure of his arc, which of course he went from being a selfish, egocentric man, to a selfless, altruistic and caring benefactor for the local Jewish community. Schindler was struggling with his feelings and trying to disguise them all the time, at first to try to fool himself but later to fool others, because deep down he was a good man, a good person. He used his power and status to help others, to give back to the community and the less fortunate, rather than himself or his close ones. A couple more points: Amon Goerth was truly a terrible despicable person in real life, who enjoyed in people suffering and pain and his character was toned down from all the horrible, disgusting, terrible things he did in real life, that's really how he was. The fascist and Nazi sympathizers and brainwashed soldiers were either really sick or grew to have some really terrible disgusting mentalities. A lot of this movie is grounded in real life, like how Goeth's gun got jammed and his subordinates', these were things that really happened and show how a lot fo times it was just fate and destiny that played a part in keeping these people alive and who were really helpless, at the mercy of their captors or luck and in contrast how important was the help of outsiders like Schindler who, prevented an otherwise catastrophic and tragic ending to a many more thousands of families. Really something to think about, and reflect upon: doing the right thing, being conscious about the other and being caring and loving of people regardless of how dire the situation is, doing the right thing for the common good. I really enjoyed your commentary and reaction, I hope you're doing great!

Another comment I forgot about: many of the same texts, poems verses and even books are found in the Qur'an, Torah and Bible, the Christian Bibles, which are all basically the same, are essentially the Torah, called the Old Testament, plus the New Testament. That's why Islam, Judaism and Christianity are considered part of the same religion family, they have the same foundations, text and origin stories. However people prefer to see the differences and hate instead of seeing the similarities and unite over them.

He was a capitalist with a heart of gold. 😉

@@TheBloodyPointI was thinking the same thing. Amazing movie and based on a true story!

mind boggling the depths of human depravity.

If only Japan was as honest about dealing with its past as Germany. Any Muslim who wonders why so many Europeans won't criticize Israel should watch this movie. There are still a lot of bad memories lingering even after eighty years, and saying anything that might sound even a little bit like Nazi sympathizing is heavily taboo.

@@ayacachotinemi4974 Japan did horrible things and at the same actually saved Jews. Look up Chiune Sugihara.

@@ayacachotinemi4974 Let's be real, 99% of westerners have no clue what's going on in israel. Especially young people are pro-palestine because it's popular. It's just virtue signaling for clout

​@@ayacachotinemi4974when I look at Germany I wonder wether they should have went with the Japanese route. As you said it's hard to say anything against Israel without being labeled a nazi. Especially in Germany or Austria

😭😭 don't let hope become a memory

I wouldn't presume they are Muslims. They sound like two Americans putting on fake accents and acting for the camera.

What do you want to do, Sawatski? Ban elections?

If only it was the other way around too.

Until the end when they say palestine 20 times complaining about the jews lol

We got a taste of the that kind of behavior in 2020. Quite a wake up call.

So true… „The evil“ is inside men. Not in some Movie-Monster… That makes it even more disturbing.

And now in the US we are trying to ensure evil like this does not rise again through our elections this year. It does lurk in the shadows waiting for the right moment to reveal itself. We only had a taste of it in 2016....I believe this time, if we allow it, it will come full-flavored!

Well said mate and very true as well.

Agreed. "Shitty people".......yep.

If everyone could think like this the world would be a better place

Religion killed more people than cigarettes did

This is untrue statistically.

Thank you. I didn't know this, but I'm not surprised.

I never knew that was supposed to be Mengele. Wow, makes that scene so much more disturbing.

Not only that. Some transports were exterminated immediately. Auschwitz was not only a concentration camp but also an extermination camp like Treblinka.

Auschwitz had three large concentration camps and several small ones. The largest and most famous with the iconic train entrance and railway terminal was known as Birkenau. Two or three trains packed with prisoners arrived every day at Birkenau from 1942 to 1944. If fresh workers were needed at any of the town's camps, new arrivals were sorted into two groups - fit to work (strong healthy adults) and not fit to work (weak, sick, old and women with children). All of the latter and any surplus from the former were gassed before the next train arrived.

Not correct. The showering usually only occurred after arrival to camps, for the minority of Jews chosen to be worked to death.

I tell people that after visiting Dachau several times when stationed in Germany. You can smell it. The death just permeates the place.

We took a school trip to Auschwitz when I lived in Germany. I cannot forget the smell. We didn't talk for 3 days after we returned. It was a great experience though....it will whip any racist thoughts out of your head real quick. I do think that everyone should see it in person.

This movie is stunning and moving and terrifying. I think most people only watch it one time.

@@rhiahlMT I remember that school visit there over 30 years ago and knowing the barracks were not original didn't help. As you said, death permeates the place.

@@Dreamfox-df6bg Where I was stationed (Augsburg) the library and craft center housed concentration camp victims. I rarely went over there.

Exactly what I always thought. That was the final straw on the camel's back, and that was the turning point in Schindler.

It's why she's on the movie poster. She was Schindler's final straw.

I am 16 and me and my friends all offer free tutoring at my old school which gives me a pretty good idea of how much high school age kids know about history. It seems to me like people my age generally know the very basics of WW2 but not anything past that. I don't think it's our fault I think it has a lot to do with how history is taught. People often say the reason we should learn history is so that we don't repeat the same mistakes but in practice we are just forced to memorize a bunch of trivia without ever diving deeper. Our classes should involve asking questions like "why did everyday Germans allow the Holocaust to happen" This would lead to an exploration and discussion on the dynamics of prejudice, propaganda, the bystander effect, indoctrination, coercion and how it relates to authoritarianism. I love history but learning the date Dan mcdoodle signed some random treaty and only retaining it for just long enough to take a test and then probably forgetting it is completely useless. It also leads to such a shallow understanding of what the underlying topics which makes people so easy to manipulate.

In Poland, WWII was very important, we learn about it almost every year at school, we watch films, talk to insurgents and people who survived the war, etc.

It's so bad that now even the Jews themselves have fallen into fascism and are committing genocide.

@@corbinlittle4746 May I ask what country you are from? Because our history classes in Germany used to do just that. Ask how it was possible, what contributed to it etc. We were only made to memorize very few dates. So if you have questions in this regard ask away. There is also a great source "Zeitzeugenportal" here on RU-vid. It is eyewitness accounts of people who lived through that times. I think the new translation features will make this more available for English-speakers.

There were and still are quite a few Muslims in the Balkans. Kosovo, Albania, Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro and others. These areas were controlled by the Ottoman Empire for centuries. Many sided with the Nazis because the Nazis were fighting France and Great Britain, and both had a terrible history in the Middle East after WWI when they split up the former Ottoman Empire lands there. (Sykes-Picot Agreement).

You need to do some more research 😂😂😂😂😂

True there weren't many black people at that time, but Hitler hated them and mixed race people enough to have the sterilized. He also went after Germans like Jehovah's Witnesses who refused to deny their beliefs just to save their own lives. When you add the mentally and physically disabled people, it's a wonder he didn't try to kill everyone but himself.

@@KentuckyBrad White men just doing white men stuff right? Like they did in America for *hundreds* of years.

@@KentuckyBrad Could you elaborate? What have I said that is incorrect?

Cool

Those are re-education camps. CCP don't want dead Uyghurs, they want compliant, obedient peoples.

do you want to say something about millions and millions of people in cccp concentration camps for half century after usa sold eastern europe to communists in 45?

​@@divacroft1034sold? We didn't want to fight another war. What, we're suddenly responsible for and required to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of lives, maybe millions, to free Eastern Europe? The US did what it could, look at the Berlin airlift, they spent a lot of money doing the best they could in the situation. How you equate that with China 80 years later putting Uyghurs in concentration camps is beyond me, or any other rational person.

@@Alex-dh2cx you peasants signed the paper = all suffering on your hands...satan stalin even smiling in pictures hpw dumb usa and uk was to give him half europe without even a fight and tens of millions sent to concentration camps...if we knew you gonna sell us out for half century of slavery we would have helped germany to win the war.

Hitler was Catholic, mein kampfe is him literally talking about being gods right hand But he focused less and less on Catholic principles after he got supreme power That group you mentioned was headed by Himmler and inner circle members

Great comment , true.

Hm, well, no, not really. The Nazi leaders (and the SS) saw the Christian religion as a product of Jews (which is correct), and they despised/hated everything that had to do with the Jewish religion. But most of the germans still were christians and had very strong believes, the Nazis would have lost every backup by the public, if they tried to get rid of Christianity. That's why the tried everything to get both christian churches in Germany to acknowledge their politics. Hitler and his guys mostly were socialists (kind of) and had no faith in any God whatsoever. They admired (and used) some religions as a tool to controle people and make them do what they wanted. Only Himmler and his SS held that neo-germanic paganism worth to be a quasi-religion for them with Himmler being a firm admirer and reader of germanic-hero-stories of the early 1900s with no base in any actual historical accurate background stories.

Catholic. Not Christian. Important difference.

@@mattwerdell7151 Catholicism is one of the main branches of Christianity...the others being Protestantism and Eastern Orthodox. I'm not sure why that different is important lol.

Yes. Also, a cinematic trick used back in the day to draw one’s attention to an important theme in the movie.

I always associated the red-coat girl to the turning point in Schindler's psyche. It is always one little detail amidst the chaos that triggers the shift in our inner drive.

Needlessness? Well, thinking like that only led to Poland, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, France and the Grand-Duchy of Luxemburg being invaded and submitted, despite whatever bravery and tactical prowess their respective troops showed. "If you want peace, prepare for war." Vegetius. That sentence was first written under the Roman Empire, but it is still as true now as ever. Pursue peace, be true in that pursuit, but always keep your military up to date and ready.

@@Rod_MolinaBachmann that’s the way I perceived it.

So you're saying WWII was "needless" and everyone should have just rolled over for Hitler and Hirohito? Weak and ignorant.

The truth is a little more complicated than that. The Nazi's didn't target Muslims specifically just for being Muslims, that's true, and he spoke admirably privately and in public about his twisted idea of what Islam was, but he did target many Muslims for other reasons, such as race and minority status in the Nazi occupied territories. . An important thing to remember is that Hitler and the Nazi's borrowed (and built on) the idea of the superior Aryan race from the Iranians who also had a similar concept of Aryan superiority (Iran translates in Persian to "Land of the Aryans"). Hitler viewed Iranians as his natural allies because of what the Nazis believed was a common descent with the Germanic peoples and wanted to seduce them into joining the Axis powers, which never happened. Most of the Nazi propaganda concerning Islam was aimed at bringing Arab Nations in the Middle East to his side against the Allies (many of which were either current or former colonial overlords in those areas.) However, the Nazi's did not have the same regard for people, Muslims or otherwise, in North Africa, and the concentration camps there saw many Muslims put to death along with the Nazi regimes usual victims. Out of the over 10 Million civilians killed in the Holocaust an estimated 6+ Million were Jewish and they were by far the single most targeted group but the extermination of the Slavs, Roma peoples ("Gypsies") and many many more INCLUDING the Arab-Berbers of Algeria and neighboring North African countries were all targets for the "Final Solution." Being from Algeria, I imagine the Brothers have a very different perspective than Muslims from countries allied with Nazi Germany during WWII.

​@@edmillan7427 Hitler didn't care that much about non-Jewish and non-gipsy populations outside of Europe; Berbers weren't targeted for the Final Solution; if they were targeted for something, it was non-compliance with the Vishy Administration in Algeria. I don't even think there was any systematic targeting by Germans at all in North Africa since the Algerian part was controlled by Vichy and the rest De jure by Italy, but that part was active front-line most of the time. Muslims were surely affected by WW2, as were everyone else, but nobody was sent to concentration or extermination camps simply because they were Muslim or Arab.

@@edmillan7427 Hitler would have eventually targeted all non-Aryan races once his primary objectives were complete. He even considered Ukranians to be subhuman because they were Slavs.

​@@edmillan7427and they also put Jehovah's witnesses in there & also homosexuals

True, but I think he just used them for selfish purposes. They probably would’ve been next. Na**s hated ALL 3 Abrahamic religions.

Competitions where they were catching Chinese babies on their bayonets.

the experimentation the japanese conducted on allied prisoners is horrifying to read about... surgeries without anesthesia, amputations of limbs and replacing them with limbs of others, locking prisoners in boxes with no water/food until they died. and, of course, the mass rapes of women when they invaded china. and apparently this history is not taught in japan and current generations have no idea of the crimes they committed.

Why don't you let each tragedy have its place? "As bad as this tragedy is". This movie is not about the Japanese. There's other movies about the Japanese. Should we write on a movie about the Rape of Nanjing, "as bad as this tragedy was, let's not forget 6 million Jews were subject to horrors beyond human comprehension in the holocaust by the Germans."? Why don't you bring up the thousands of Italians murdered and raped by the French Expeditionary Corps. Or the Gegenmiao massacre committed by the Russians? Or the Communist purges in Serbia in 1944-45, Or the hundreds of thousands of Chinese dead just from the conscription methods of the Chinese Nationalist Forces, or the Rapes of thousands of Okinawan women by US forces? Or the 18 million people sent to the Gulag by Stalin's government? I hate when people that try to take the focus on a specific tragedy away or compare genocides, as if they could possibly be worse for the people involved, on any scale.

​@@tor4472chill daddy

This is true, under Japanese occupation Over 6 million Koreans, Cambodians, Burmese, and etc were murdered alone That's not counting the pows and slave forces used by the Japanese to build the Burmese railroad which was one large death March Still, that was not a systematic process like the concentration camps That was imperialist rule The Nazis are the only group in history to industrialize extermination like they were making motors in a factory

You're the best!

I never knew that about Robin Williams, bless his beautiful heart ❤

There were some exceptions. The Great Mosque of Paris helped hide Jews and kept them safe.

Actually they did target Muslims in occupied territories For birth defects, racial make up They allied themselves with certain Muslim groups and nations but they did target Muslims in Europe and Africa

Worth pointing out there wasn't a significant Muslim population in Germany at the time so they were not in a position to be painted as undesirables like the Jews, gays, Romani, communists and disabled people a German would encounter on a regular basis. Now that there is a significant Muslim population in Europe, the present far-right racists have turned their hate toward them.

They didn't do it, because they hated Jews... they did it like all the non german people simply because they wanted to survive that horror. There were special divisions for Polish, Croats and so on...

@@johannesadamec8670 pls take some history lessons

It's called a mezzusah

A Mezuzah is not a relic. It is a box containing a parchment with two verses from the Bible, Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and 11:13-21. It is also a reminder of the lamb's blood placed on doorframes during the final Plague of the Exodus.

They're branches of the same religion; they have the same origin. All three (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) come from the same teachings.

Jews and Arabs are semites. Get your head around that if you can!

Actually the 3 Abrahamic religions have more things in common than they do different but they have been killing each other for millennia

It mostly stems from world war II after the war the United Nations took part of Palestine and made it into Israel that we know today

Pardon the length of the reply, it's just that I often hear, especially from atheists/skeptics etc that religion is and has been the primary cause of wars. So I would like to respond to that claim.... the majority of the following comes from a book called "The Irrational Atheist" by Vox Day, his book is available online for free as a pdf, it is heavily footnoted to support the statistics. Se page 219 in the pdf for the chart as seen below. Actually, almost all wars were not based on religious differences, though of course there were some wars that involved people of religious differences. The total body count for the ninety years between 1917 and 2007 is approximately 148 million dead at the bloody hands of fifty-two atheists, three times more than all the human beings killed by war, civil war, and individual crime in the entire twentieth century combined. According to the 3 volume Encyclopedia of War there are 121 entries listed under “religious wars”, one of the entries deals with two wars, so a revised figure would be 122 wars, or only 6.9% of the wars considered by Phillips and Axelrod's Encyclopedia of War. The greatest culprits in human history in terms of war and especially the causalities that resulted from their totalitarian regimes, were atheists. Secular (atheistic) totalitarianism is “the summa of human evil.” It seems no one really cares why atheists kill innocent people en masse. People are primarily concerned with the undeniable fact that atheists do it with such an astonishing degree of regularity on the rare occasions that they find themselves in a position to do so. Below you can see the number of deaths and the worldview or ideology behind those deaths. Schwinn bicycles are included as a way to show a comparison of how many died as a result of riding bicycles as compared to everything else. Historical Event Responsible Dates Total Deaths Deaths per year Great Leap Forward atheists 1958-1963 43,000,000 8,600,000 Holodomor atheists 1932-1933 3,500,000 1,750,000 Holocaust pagan theists 1941-1945 6,000,000 1,500,000 Spanish Red Terror atheists 1936-1939 72,344 24,114 Children’s Bicycles Schwinn 1920-2007 11,310 130 Spanish Inquisition Christian theists 1481-1834 3,230 9 Medieval Inquisitions Christian theists 1184-1500 2,000 6 Portuguese Inquisition Christian theists 1540-1794 1,175 5 **** IMHO its overly generous to consider Hitler's Nazism as "pagan theism". In reality, Hitler espoused Monism; which is a philosophical worldview that posits the existence of a single, fundamental substance or principle as the ground of reality. Hitler's relationship to religion as one of opportunism and pragmatism: "his relationship in public to Christianity - indeed his relationship to religion in general - was opportunistic. There is no evidence that Hitler himself, in his personal life, ever expressed any individual belief in the basic tenets of the Christian church". Hitler stated, "We do not want any other god than Germany itself. It is essential to have fanatical faith and hope and love in and for Germany." Keep in mind that for Hitler, the "Final Solution" would eventually include the elimination of Christianity every bit as much as it included the elimination of the the Jews.

While they were doing that with that leader They were murdering African Muslims and blacks in North Africa In Czechoslovakia, Bosnia, and Ukraine they were killing communists and Muslims through reprisals from resistance groups Or targeted cleansing Marshall Tito had many Muslims in his forces when he fought the Nazis as well. They made deals with certain Muslim leaders and groups But if you were a slavic Muslim you were considered a slav And the Nazis Slaughtered Slavs, who they called barley above animals.

@@mckenzie.latham91ofc, Slavs are untermenschen according to them, No matter the religion. My point is that our dear brothers think nazis were motivated by some overarching and equal racism and disliked jews the same as muslims or black africans. The last two groups weren't an "issue" for nazis in europe. This was before mass migrations remember. And Hitler expressed an admiration for islam and saw its potencial as a useful religion for soldiers to have. I can tell you in no uncertain terms that there weren't any auxillary SS made up of jews.

I second this

yes please react to this

It is happening again. Only the victims are Palestinians.

They need workers, but that doesn't mean they need to keep them

You have to wonder at the history education and the news allowed in Algeria. These brothers are wonderful souls, but it is so obvious certain facts have been withheld from them in education and news.

@@billbliss1518 I don´t think the facts were withheld- it´s just not part of their curriculum and that is in a lot of countries that way because it was not part of their history, in almost all countries of South America, Africa and Asia the Holocaust is not or barely mentioned. I live in Europe and of course it was a big part in history classes but the lessons stopped with the Nuremberg Prozess what happened after, the Partition plan, the Nakba etc., we didn´t learn a thing about it. Just like we didn´t learn anything about the crimes and massacres of the Japanese during WWII. Pearl Harbor was mentioned but they killed up to 20 Million people in China and South East Asia and I didn´t learn about it until years later in a documentary.

@@billbliss1518 10000%! I do believe they are good people but it’s very obvious they’re victims to regional propaganda.

I love their channel but some of the comments made were factually incorrect and the constant mentioning of palestine and gaza despite this being a movie about the consequences of what hundreds of years of ignored and internalized antisemitism can lead to.

I thought it was a birth right based on divine authority Which is a literal justification used by the current government of Israel

For you is maybe the best movie ever. I saw it. For me is an okay movie since l am not a fan of American futbol. I guess the Muslim brothers either.

Ukraines military participated in the slaughters of over 6 million Jews, minorities during the Holocaust, Ukraine continues having a massive Neo-Nazi presence and large groups of Ukrainian Neo Nazis meet to celebrate their insane ideology aka hatred of Jewish persons, support inciting violence towards Jews and the genocide of Jews, not to mention under two different Democrat administrations, Operation Overcast later called Operation Paperclip was started and made it possible for Mazi scientists, doctors, soldiers etc trying to escape accountability for their heinously sinister acts during the Holocaust, to come into the US, have their records, names etc wiped clean and were given jobs in the US government, creating nuclear weapons etc which allowed their families to also live, go to school and work in the US, as US citizens were none the wiser yet even today under the current administration, which has given over 400 billion dollars to Ukraine, one of the most corrupted countries in the world, despite being well aware of their past, present very antisemitic ideology and hatred for Jews and right before the barbarically sickening acts of Hamas against innocent Israeli babies, children, pregnant women and their unborn babies etc Biden had funneled over 232 million dollars to Palestinian/Gazan leaders and organizations that openly, blatantly, fund, harbor, support Hamas terrorists and shelled out another 32 million 30 days before the unwarranted murders against Israelis committed by Hamas which I strongly believe was payment in advance for Hamas to commit such vile as acts that would incite a war from Israeli leaders because funding for Ukraine, an insane amounts of funds Biden and his administration have been funneling back and forth, was coming to an end so another war needed to be orchestrated.

All religions are NOT equal!

@@moon-moth1 Wrong on all counts. Islam may say that they worship the same god, but Allah is not the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob, closer to being polar opposites. There are tons of evidence that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob does exist, have you ever looked for any?

Kinda glad the Russians forced my family to leave Europe before all this lol.

I hope they watch this. I teach high school history and show this to my students every year. It still blows my mind every time I watch it, and it really opens the students’ eyes.

The Nazis hated Christianity just as much as they hated the jews. There was nothing Christian about what they did. Not even a little bit. In fact the only one into all of the occult crap was Himmler. Hitler thought it was a waste of time and ridiculous. He had no time for religion of any kind.

The nazi ideology has nothing to do with christendom. It was at first a distinctively secular ideology overall. Matter of fact is tho that about 95%of germans were nominally christian at the time. This is why the nazis did utilize anti-semitic sentiment in parts of christianity to scapegoat and "other" jews. They used religion as a tool in their rethoric to sow division and gather public support. But it never was part of their ideology. At the same time Hitler viewed the chruches as contrarian and a long term threat to his ideology - in the later stages of nazi rule they tried to introduce a pesudo-religious cult around their ideology. Based on a weird cocktail of norse mythology and naziism. Ofc this didnt work out and even back in the day only a hand full of people actually ditched their religion in favour for this cooked up cult. Mainly in the SS. But it was planned to phase out all religions after the war with this new cult. So that there would be no systematic rivals to nazi ideology.

It actually may be the first complex symbol humanity ever came up with. Supposedly it’s on some cave paintings. There’s a theory that it’s based on patterns inside mammoth tusks and may have originally been a symbol for food.

@@huntardhc2286 Nothing funnier than one cult calling another religion a cult.

@@menotyou8369 well in terms of the nazi-cult it was literally that. Religions usually form through conversion. Not by dictate of a mass murderer.

There were also Czech, Romanian, and Ukrainian units in the SS That didn't stop the Nazis mass murdering Czechs, Romanians, Ukrainians and etc

And turned it backwards.

Also read into the Palestinian leadership that were in Nazi Germany i.e. mufti al husseini. I don't think Muslims were a Nazi priority at the time.

You say they hated anyone not white? They allied the Japanese dude. The race thing was thrown away at convenience. I'm not gonna say they wouldn't betray their allies later. But Hitler didn't give a shit about Muslims.

@@Marianna55776 what the fuck are you talking about????

Also, if you liked this movie, Spielberg did a movie that explores the endless cycle of violence in Israel/Palestine. It's called "Munich".

The person laying the flower on Schindler's grave was Liam Neeson. Just like every actor accompanied the real person to the grave, Neeson went there by himself

@@stephanos2758 I was mistaken. I had read before that it was Spielberg.

The overwhelming majority of Nazis were Christians. Hate to break it to you.

"Nazi Germany was an overwhelmingly Christian nation. A census in May 1939, six years into the Nazi era[1] after the annexation of Austria and Czechoslovakia[2] into Germany, indicates[3] that 54% of the population considered itself Protestant, 41% considered itself Catholic, 3.5% self-identified as Gottgläubig[4] (lit. "believing in God"),[5] and 1.5% as "atheist".[4] "

This is not true. The Nazis were Christian. Hitler laid it out very clearly in Mein Kampf that his entire ideology was deeply rooted in the belief he was doing God's work. They instituted prayer in schools and signed a concordat with the Vatican. The phrase 'God is with Us' was inscribed on the SS belt buckles. Anything you hear differently is post war propaganda, created (mostly) by American Evangelical Christians to try and distance their religion from the Nazis. "Secular schools can never be tolerated because such schools have no religious instruction, and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character training and religion must be derived from faith" - AH "We believe in a God Almighty who stands above us; he has created the earth, the Fatherland, and the Volk, and he has sent us the Führer. Any human being who does not believe in God should be considered arrogant, megalomaniacal, and stupid and thus not suited for the SS. As National Socialists, we believe in a Godly worldview." - Himler Indeed, one of the warning signs of rising fascism enshrined in the US Holocaust museum in DC is intertwining of government and religion.

Plenty were christians,practizing ones.

This is not correct - the nazi's relationship with Christianity is complicated and self-contradictory, but it is not true to say that most of them were atheist or irreligious. Hitler made pronouncements about Christianity privately and publically both negative and positive. Sometimes he engaged in anti-clerical rants, saying that he'd rid Germany of the Church after he'd rid it of Jewish people - sometimes he positioned himself as the defender of Christendom from atheistic communism. Plenty of high-ranking nazis were active Christians. Anti-semitism within Christianity has a long history, and some nazis engaged in anti-semitism due to their Christian beliefs, just as some Christians resisted the nazis due to their Christian beliefs. The occult stuff was something a minority of nazis dabbled in, it was not mainstream at all.
