When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping. Fred Rogers
Each of my parents was liberated by British troops on April 15, 1945. My parents met months later at the Bergen-Belsen Displaced Persons Camp in Germany. They met & married there afterca very brief "courtship". My beother was born in the DP camp. They finally received immigration papers for the USA after 3 years of waiting there, gratefully!!!
We forget that Jews were stuck there because of antisemitism in the US State Department and Congress. And then Jews went to what is now Israel because the US didn't want to take them in, even knowing what they had endured. Adn now universities teach an ideology that has Jews as "oppressors." Are we better than Germany? Yes....for now.
@@Augustus24 Oh wow, so edgy. Don’t be rude to the commenter for no reason, especially after they share a personal story about one of the worst events in human history.
In 1849, French writer Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr wrote “plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose “ - the more things change, the more they stay the same
You are both right and wrong in your statement. New people, with the same “Sin Nature” in “new to them” scenarios. People will always do the same thing. It’s only with Jesus we deny our sin nature. Myself, I’m a sinner saved by grace. By no means perfect, just forgiven.
If the Constitution is maintained then he won't. If the Constitution is flouted by politicians/the military then you might have to consider migration.@@andyroo9381
ther grew up in the depression. He was accustomed to seeing farms go vacant, with little or no warning. To his astonishment, and a guard at Nuremberg, he watched people testify that they never ever thought anything was amiss for entire neighborhoods going vacant. For those same homes being made available WITH other people's belongings, to high ranking officers. He saw people say "I noever thought about it" to seeing trains full of people rolling east. NONE coming back. ever. You can delude yourself of the truth, but, it never really become true, does it????
My mother will be 89 Sunday and she had a German Jewish friend who was a Holocaust Survivor and lived downstairs from us in are apartment building back in the late 70s, and I remember the horrible story she told us , that she witnessed her parents murdered by the Nazis when she was only 7 years old let alone she had numbers tattooed on her arm, we didn't dare to asked her how she survived because we were so afraid it would traumatized her even more, but long story short Val that was her name ended up moving back to West Germany in the mid 80s.
The most cruel people are not psychopaths but ordinary people who are good husbands, good fathers and good sons etc. They try to be a good member of the organization they belong to, and they will do their utmost to please tops of their organizations. After the war, they returned to their homes as good husbands, good fathers and good sons as they used to be. And many of them were prosecuted as criminals against humanity. We should remember that all of us could be like them.
@@bunny_smith Personally, I don`t want to be one of them. Most Germans and Japanese were good citizens individually during World War II, but they committed heinous crimes under the totaritarian regimes.
How can we see these photos and not compare to what is happening today? People in uniform laughing at the torture and humiliation of others...humans are cruel animals.
Yeah, humans are real Captains Fantastic. They're obviously incapable of learning from history, but the occasional cataclysm gives them a brief factory reset once a century or so 🤷
I hope I can see the play sometime, what an important story. It ties in well with the movie Zone of Interest that won the best international feature Oscar this year. Thank you for this thought-provoking piece/interview.
@@kengodnavec634 The scene when the kids pretended to be picking blueberries, when they weren't, and trying to convince the Captain about that, as he tongue in cheeked said then they wouldn't need to eat dinner, even though they were quite hungry.
This shows how easily people are manipulated into accepting and engaging in despicable and even evil behavior. There are always people everywhere who help anyone in authority no matter what those authority figures are doing -like the stasi, putin's mafia terrorist regime, dirty cops right here in the U.S., etc.
keep in mind, people are also concerned about their OWN survival.......to go against this stuff, they most likely faced death themselves....sooooo......these kinds of people are more than willing to volunteer so as not to be considered traitors......and be looked upon favorably as opposed to be suspected of not being "all in"......essentially very insecure mindset....
I went to east Berlin for about 8 hours. NO colors on anything decent fried chicken for like $1. Did a tour of 2 camps Dachau and Auschwitz. 1983, 84 I think, I was young early 20’s. Life changing.
@@FriedAudio "individual freedom & responsibility." As long as people believe the same things you believe. Worship the same god you worship. Sleep with the people you approve of. Read the books you approve of. Freedom to do anything they want...as long as you approve of it.
Those photos were rare insider pictures of the guards at belsen,them laughing and well fed whilst feet away the death machine ovens at work.handpickedsociopaths
This feature made me think about our / my / own life. Of course it's not the same, but, how many similar things happen in this country by U.S. citizens'. not studying up on world events. We see the horrific videos of Gaza and Ukraine and scroll past them....."not my problem.....it's happening somewhere else; I'll worry if it ever happens here." Then Jan. 6 happened. Gaza. Ukraiine. Gangsters running south and central American countries. A U.S. Marine still held in Russian prison, while a U.S. woman basketball player gets released, instead. Good for CBS 60 Minutes & to Democracy Now, for continuing to show us windows to things our eyes are covered from.
Is it just that the whole country was full of psychopaths? I mean, how can you sit around and laugh when thousands are dying around you. Sick and twisted, hope it haunted them their whole lives and they never knew peace of mind.
What about the behaviour of people during the pandemic? Did they stop partying all together because of deaths? I remember a big part of people refusing to help others by wearing masks bc it was not convinient.
You missed the whole point LOL…it’s that evil is inside every human and ordinary people have the power to become monsters. Germany wasn’t the only country with people doing evil things either….
When Eisenhower saw the camps, he immediately ordered film crews to go in and document everything as it was. He knew and even said, there would come a time when there would be some who would deny it ever happened. Eisenhower was a wise man.
It's been happening here. Schools have been turned from educational institutions to indoctrination facilities for the furthering of the leftists agenda. It starts in kindergarten.
@@Drew-bc7zj bro it is literally the other way around with this Marxist administration you should know that , this is a very serious situation of what is happening to our Nation right now.
It's an analysis...a critical part of "learning". The bible is thousands of years old, yet look how much it has been scrutinized. Every person who looks at particular information, is giving "fresh eyes" or a new perspective.
Obeying orders is no excuse, when you know, deep inside, those orders are evil and wrong. One's allegiance needs to be first and foremost to God, or at least one's conscience that knows without a doubt, right from wrong.
Yes, because that's what happened last time he was voted in. Oh wait, I'm wrong, last time he was here inflation was down, housing was affordable, food was affordable, veterans were honored, the border was safe.
Bro just stop seriously, it is the other way around, and you should be very concerned on what is happening because this can very easily happen to you as are Constitution is literally being volatiled by rhis MARXIST administration.
Bro it is the other way around, look what is happening, wide open borders, wars , lawlessness throughout the cities where repeated violent offenders are not being prosecuted but handed more rights, inflation, pedophiles in our grade schools , there is a reason for this & it will affect you also , so please just stop.
oh please. Trump was ALREADY PRESIDENT for four years and this DIDN'T HAPPEN. Trump is the most pro-Jewish president in history. He moved the US Embassy to Jerusalem, something that no prior president dared to do. Stop lying. I also happen to notice all the violent protests against jews are happening on liberal campuses. The left are the modern antisemites, everyone knows it.
If you think there were Germans that didn’t know what they were doing you are one of the people that believe that this video has had 3 million views but less than 500 comments. Just use your common sense.
All prisons even in the USA rely on a large staff of office workers , bookkeepers, accountants ,record keepers and such.. Are these folks not entitled to a couple of days of RnR a few times a year as a break from the tedious routine of this type of work all clerical workers experience? Prison guards are found in all prisons everywhere in the world and in this case very few days were allocated for any type of RnR.. A few days total out of the year was norm. And they also needed a break from their daily routine. What's so unusual? Because they looked like everyone else ,is that it? What did you expect them to look like ? people are people, and people look well, just like people.
Just like North Korea of today..they had no choice. Do what's expected or suffer the consequences. Look at those NK women in tears when Little Kim appears ...tears of love or fear?
With how long the Kim family have been in power I’d say they probably are tears of love at this point, it’s all they’ve ever known, it’s all their parents ever knew and probably all their grandparents ever knew
Their lives wouldn't have been in danger if they had refused to go along with it. They would have just been reassigned somewhere else and replaced. People who refused to participate would have faced peer pressure and been ostracized, but that's about it. The regime was absolutely horrific to groups it saw as outsiders, of course, but the German soldiers were treated relatively well. Stalin was far more callous towards his own troops.
They had a choice. Plenty of people chose to NOT become party members. Plenty of people fought against them. They always had a choice. The consequences may have been unpleasant, but they didn't have to do any of this.
@@aimeeinkling I guess it comes down to how unpleasant...that's when their values would have been put to the test. Lose a good job, ostracized by family & friends, or be targeted as a sympathizer.
History may get things wrong but this 93 year old woman seems to still have a sharp mind, and I’m sure it was hell watching or knowing your family was about to die, I watched 60 minutes tonight and she had a little sister she was holding on to, they, the Nazis separated them and she hadn’t seen or heard from her since
I had seen reports about this album a few years ago. If I recall correctly, the photos were taken in June 1944, just a month before the allies especially the Red Army would begin liberating the camps. Auschwitz would fall to the Russians at the end of January 1945.
Oh wow, I'd be throwing up constantly in that place. I wouldn't be able to stay away from the victims either. I'd feel it was immoral to look away. I don't know if there was anything I could do to help them though. The nazis wouldn't let you feed the victims.
How is it the people who said never again are now committing genocide against a whole other group of people. Will we study the eradication of Palestine in the same way?
I never understood how the German people could help the Nazis commit such atrocities against their friends and neighbors. Then covid hit, and it all became clear.
@@Gandrewjm people making fun of others because they are wearing masks. People not caring about their neighbors and going out when they are sick or spreading false information about an effective cures.. People saying the government made the disease and the vaccinations are poison. People feel special when they believe in a conspiracy theory. People calling themselves, pure bloods.
It was a whole country, political movement and ideology built up from many years of hatred of a people. It wasn’t a case of “who knew” who who had a choice in a lot of cases. Of course they knew.
We are smack dab in the middle of another antiseptic era. We show our disdain when we look back at the atrocities done to them, and say catch phrases like ‘never forget.’ Yet we have, and think nothing of young college students parading against the very Jews we think sentimentally of when we view these horrors!! Such hypocrisy is hard to swallow!
@@RumRomeo-mu2up What's the difference between the National Socialist Democratic Party of Germany and the National Socialist Democratic Party of AOC? I'll wait for an intelligent answer.
@@billywalker9223 they wasn’t goose stepping to Hitlers right-wing propaganda. As far as AOC well, she’s not goose stepping to trumps right wing propaganda.
I guess my name is to be ruined and we'll get our share of crazy looks, but my Hocker line has been in the USA since the 1600's. And before that England. Quite a few Hocker's here in the USA, let's not paint us all with the same brush as we have fought and died for the USA for generations.
You are not defined by who your distant relatives are. Nearly every family has bad actors. Example: are all immediate family members of murderers the same, too? You can't change your family of origin (warts and all). You do have control of your 'family of choice.' Hang in there. You are okay.
Any guard or staff at one of these captured camps should have been detained,, and after positive identification ,, the last thing they saw was the inside of the oven door closing,, just before an inmate lit it...
Well, this is always an interesting topic......as sure, there were many who participated under their own free will; however, if you choose to go against the government you most likely ended up getting executed or jailed yourself for treason......sooooooo......unless there was some kind of armed faction that was going to stand up to this.....what exactly did you think people were going to do???? It's easy to criticize these people and find fault with them but when gun are being put to your head......well, do you really think people are going to protest??? and perhaps many did protest and those are the other 5 million people who were slain and casually get ignored every time the subject of the holocaust comes up........which shameful if those people died only to be forgotten because the other 6 million think they are more important........disgusting.......if the holocaust is to be discussed the focus should be on ALL the victims.......
@@btruboff its hard to argue that people weren't, but of course, the problem with these types of black and white comments is that it lacks context......and its easy to say you wouldn't have followed until you are put into that position of your own life and the life of your family is at risk......people do awful things when it comes to their survival.......an easy example is .....try to rescue someone who is drowning......if you don't know what your are doing, they will do anything to keep themselves above the water and if you aren't careful they will drown you and push you under to keep themselves from drowning......that is why they say to never get to close to them and try to throw them a rope or buoy.......I learned the hard way and was pulled under trying to help someone who was simply struggling to swim in the deep end of a public pool.....never again, but thats the point, when fear or panic sets in......no one is worried about you........
"They were". ??? What's happened to them? Did they vanish? Magically dissapeared? Where they go that no longer they living in this world? Is the every new generation of humans always better that previous? If that true than human is truly magical creature. Why you always have lies on your mouth?
