My neighbors were in a concentration camp when they were in their early 20s. The Germans killed her family and she pretended to be passing the house. They grabbed her and threw her on the ground next to her dead brother and looked for a reaction. She said she didn’t know him. They joined the Polish underground sabotaging German trucks and tanks but were caught.
My cousin is one of these people. He often talks about how all the Jews need to be destroyed, he buys Nazi memerobilia and other fascist related things. When I talk to him about the evidence he says it was all fabricated, when I asked about talking to those who survived he says " only the ones who were children are alive now and kids don't remember anything right" he didn't use to be like this but he has become someone so revolting.
And it's crazy anyone would deny such atrocities when there's plenty of film footage showing it all. Do they not see it? I don't understand such blind denial. The things my History class was shown in the 80's was enough to give many students PTSD for life. Once you see & hear all of that, you can't forget or deny.
@@Dark_Harmony we had three survivors come to our school and talk about it, I'll never forget the look on their faces as they recounted all the horrible things they endured. That's the problem with conspiracy theorists, they will discount anything that challenges their beliefs. It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes "stupid people don't change their views to fit the facts, they change the facts to fit their views, which can be really uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that need changing".
It is because they support the Holocaust but they won’t say it out loud because it will make them look bad. They believe that denying this makes them look less evil
Good people do not stand by and do nothing when horrors like this happen. Good people try to stop it any way they can, even if it cost them their lives - and many good people did loose their lives trying to stop it. The ones that stood by in silence were either cowards or too ignorant to see it. Neither of which is an acceptable excuse in my book.
@@LadyDoomsinger The reason I said "otherwise good people" is if they were never tested in this way, they would have lived relatively moral and righteous lives. I've never been put in such a situation and I hope I would do the right thing if ever presented with such a moral challenge.
Some were afraid of being killed or put into concentration camps. Others were brain washed into believing the Jews were the reason Germany wasn’t a great nation. And that they would be if they got rid of the Jews.
Hmm, 'otherwise good'? Technically this may make sense as genocide is a biological phenomenon, but morally I don't think one should speak that way. The reason I say this is that 'otherwise good' technically applies not just to alternate versions of history, or to before and after, but also while the crimes are going on. There have been examples of people working in concentration camps but being 'otherwise good' at the same time. Hannah Arendt coined the term 'banality of evil' in this context. The problem is that a population can be put into a genoc*dal frenzy. Basically that means a part of the population is no longer treated as humans, but as dangerous animals that must be exterminated. Treating some humans as animals may actually lead to treating the other humans _better._ It's not just humans, either. Similar things happen among chimpanzees. Once a population is in this mode, trying to do something against it requires a lot of courage. Doing something effective and not getting yourself killed requires luck and ingenuity in addition to courage.
I was born right after WWII, I was born in Germany in a basement. My little mother was 15 yrs old. I was adopted by American parents during occupation. I was made a US citizen. then we moved to the USA. When I grew up, I trained to be a Certified nursing assistant. I took care of several Jewish people who were left from the death camps. One of the women was just one huge scar, I have no idea if she had been burned or beaten that way. I loved her. She was so sweet. She would call us "my heart". I loved helping those poor people. I am shocked myself at what happened to those poor people. Most normal German people hate what happened to the Jews. It was not the idea of normal citizens, it was the Evil of the third richt.
@@LOONAA-YOLO No it wasn't terrifying for me, but it might have been for my little mother. Her mom, My birth grandma was an artist I was told later. and I have the gift of drawing and painting well. I've actually had people say "what would have happened if you got caught by the Germans, Nothing would have happened.I was German too. They most likely would have taken good care of my grand ma and mothers, and myself.
The only people Adolf Hitler hatred more than the Jews were the Germans. He wanted Gotterdamerung, the "twilight of the gods." The end of all things, the death of all people.

0:45 In Germany, we are taught this down to the smallest detail from the first year of school. We will never forget it and we will make sure that it never happens again.
Hitler blamed all their issues on the Jews. Most Jews spoke at least 6 different languages. And they owned homes and businesses and were well off. They were accomplished musicians and held teaching positions in colleges. They owned great works of arts. They were highly educated. Etc.
@pub652 I've always thought it should be taught in UK schools, but with today's woke leftie snowflakes, I doubt they would in case it upsets people, especially the teachers, they'd be traumatised and Sue for emotional distress.
I think from memory of what I learned from school was the circumstances played a major part in how Hitler was able to go so far. After WWI Germany went through a hyperinflation where everything became extremely expensive. Hitler took advantage of people's desperations and scapegoated the Jewish and that's how so many people went along with it. Scapegoating is a technique politicians still use today as it is very affective. This is why it's very important to learn about the holocaust. A lot of people don't want to admit it but we're not far from having something like this happening again, especially as the holocaust is becoming less known.
Prime example is media frenzy on MAGA supporters. The constant hyperbolic and overblown rhetoric of legacy media. The promises of an end to democracy if he's elected. Mean while the Democratic party supporters are also consistently painted as evil, or he'll bent on the distruction of the country. Both use demagoguing as a hard fast staple against each other.
This is a poor video about the Holocaust, because it doesn't really tell the history of it, how it rolled out one policy at a time, nor how it came to an end. I was a child in the 1960s when I found out. It has never lost its power to horrify.
But you can't show that on TH-cam. I remember the films too. When I was 10 at school. Today the images are at least 18+. But you can find them on the internet. But I have to issue a trigger warning. Some scenes could be disturbing.
This should be talked about in EVERY SCHOOL WORLDWIDE.This part of history is so huge.But also it should be thought how this sort of things can lead to friendship as there is for example between the Dutch/Canadian/American etc after the Netherlands were freed. Every year on june 29th there is a parade which goes throught the street of for example Apeldoorn where veterans get driven in military vehicles through the street and get decorated ,hugged and thanked for what they have done.
This is the third video TH-cam sent me about a black person learning for the first time about the Holocaust. What's going on? With the exact same title and all too. I mean, the more people know about this the better, but I'm a bit confused at the sudden trend.
I suggest you watch Shindler's list for a more graphic view of what the Jews endured. That's just a small part of it. It wasn't just jews, it was the Roma who were hunted near extintion in Europe. LBGT+, political prisoners, mentally ill, handicapped and political opponents. Basically anyone who didn't fit their criteria. The ironic thing is Aryan denotes people who live in the area between Iran and India, basically most of the -stan nations. Not exactly blond and blue eyed as Hitler insisted on. Caucasian refers to people from the Caucasus mountains, which Race biologists from the early 1900 suggesteded were the perfect humans, forming the racists beliefs of the Nazis. I don't like using the word caucasian to describe white people since it's inherently racists towards the people living in that region.
I think there are other great evils that happened centuries ago. It's just that this is so close to the times of some still living that have firsthand accounts of it that hits us too close to home. Plus, this more modern horror has modern information of it, whereas only things written down with artwork about ancient wars.
Stalin and Mao documentaries are a bit controversial, there are many people that come from these places or even lived in the same era when these two were leading, but have very different views about situations in their country. Some people who hate Communist Ideology would always use the so called victims of Stalin and Mao to say these two were worse then Hitler, but would ignore the people that said otherwise that also used to live under these two as well, that applies also with the anti Capitalist side as well, regarding issues that may not have been solved under Communism, but has under Capitalism, it just depends on which system you prefer and strongly are against. But in this instance, Hitler wanted to annihilate the Jewish race or anybody that he thought weren't a part of the Aryan race, Jews, Communist, Homosexuals, The Disabled and had to have blue eyes, therefore it not controversial that Hitler was indeed a mass murder, and he was more and willing to admit that to the world with his speeches and his so called Ideological theories. Regardless of what anybody's views are, Stalin and Mao should not be in any way, shape or form to be even considered to compare with Hitler.
@@brakenmills2860 There are also people who lived in the third reich and thought it was great , even after the war , that does not exonerate Hitler . Hitler , Mao and Stalin were all mass murderers on a comparable scale , the only difference is that for Hitler ethnicity was a reason to kill and for Mao and Stalin it was class or (perceived) dissident views . Also , Hitler did not want to exterminate all non aryans , "just" the Jews , Roma and Sinti . He also wanted to decimate the Slavs , but he saw a role for them as slave labor .
@@carlox1266 That's true, Mao and Stalin were ideologically extreme to their nature, because Communism is obviously an extreme Leftist Political Doctrine that seeks to annihilated all the classes, that is true. But when we talk about people that have lived under a system and have praised it, like economic Industrialization for example, Western Historians have long claimed that it's theories sounded good but didn't work in practice, because Communism at the end of the day does strive for economic equality whether if you think it does or not, there are different views amongst the masses that live under that system. While Hitler supporters or people that loved living under the Third Reich have an attitude of wanting to allow the mass killings of Disabled People, Communist, Unionist, Jews, Homosexuals ECT. where I'm trying to get at is that you ask a Stalinist about how Stalin supposedly caused a famine in order for Industrialization they see those claims as rubbish, that is where I'm getting at with Controversial part. Ask a Nazi about the holocaust and they would salute that as the shining light era of all Europe, they celebrate the deaths of millions of people because that was what it's ideology was based on.
My grandfather and his brother made it to the US, aged 7 and 9 from Poland. Everyone else in the family was killed. It happened all over Europe and the middle east during most of history leading up to the holocaust. During the Israeli war for independence all the jews in Arab countries were killed or driven out, many after being there for 1000s of years. It is what it is. Jewish holidays are all described as, "they tried to wipe us out. They failed: let's eat." 😂
One thing you should do is watch Band of Brothers Episode 9 "Why We Fight", all the episodes though should be watched too. it's all about the 101st Airborne, and yes My Grandpa was involved in. Hatred of any sort has to be fought, not encouraged.
Hittler was christian too. But people cannbe so evil anywhere. Some militant groups in Africa have also done horrible things. When society allows people to be sadistic, many people turn into monsters.
Not sure PragerU is the best place to learn anything about anything, honestly. They have an unfortunate tendency of leaving out important details when discussing historical events. And have a fairly strong political bias that often color their presentation of facts. This particular video does seem to at least cover the basics about what happened, but veers off a bit when going into explaining the "Why" of it - for example, Hitler did not hate Christianity, he was in fact highly religious and used Christianity as justification for Nazi atrocities - whether Hitler was a genuine believer, or simply used religious iconography for public support and propaganda purposes must be left to speculation at this point - but by all written accounts, he presented himself as Christian. I strongly recommend looking up alternative sources for the full picture, and a slightly less biased explanation.
Where are the videos from the left educating people on this and many other topics? People need to learn of the horrors of the Holocaust and of Stalin's USSR. If the left won't tell them, the right will.
@@tolson57 thats funny! The right will teach about fascism and the atrocities that came out of it? Trump use Hitler and his fascism as a kind of playbook for his own wish to be a dictator. He is truly capable to commit crimes similar to those of Hitler and his nazis. You might be astounded by the fact that for every german child it is mandatory to learn about the"third reich" and the Holocaust. Its school curriculum. And it was and is the right wing forces in Germany to try to undermine that teaching. So, go and educate yourself what is really going on about teaching the history of the Holocaust before making such absurd statements.
Exactly. The "why" and "how" are the most important things, because things like this still happen today. The film "The Wave (Die Welle)" gives a good understanding of this.
Hitler's record on Christianity was complicated and mixed. In Mein Kampf he invokes the name of Jesus and the Christian God to justify his anti-Judaism. He was baptised Catholic, and never renounced his baptism. He manipulated the Catholic church and other branches of Christianity, including concluding the "Reichskoncordat" with Pope Pius XII, with varying effects on the body count of the Holocaust. The Wehrmacht (Nazi infantry soldiers) wore belt buckles that said "GOTT MIT UNS" ("God With Us"). Some Christians did resist Hitler, and the armies that stopped him included a lot of Christians, but to say that Hitler hated Christianity, or vice versa, is a great oversimplification. Many, many Christians were already raised to be anti-Jew through centuries of Christian-on-Jew hatred, and participated willingly in the Holocaust.
First: Be careful watching Prager stuff. They are notoriously conservative and right wing. They have the same kinda video that clears Christopher Columbus of his slave trade. That being said, for a 5 minute video on one of the world's worst human tragedies, I can't fault this one much. It doesn't even scratch the outermost layer of WW2 and the Holocaust though. Second: If this is a topic you want to learn more of there are seriously better resources and media. The graphic novel: Maus, The book: Anne Frank's Diary, The movie: Schindler's List to name the top.
Eh, not really. Technically he already had those thoughts when he was on the trenches with his german buddies killing the brits and french. Then when he got rejected by the art school. The nazi party just saw him and thought, "Mmm... this dude looks like anti-jew material" and incorporated him and saw. That they had very similar ideas. So he became activist, then politician, and then somehow became chancellor of Germany despite being from Austria. Honestly in retrospective, bot world wars were Austrias fault, but Germany took the blame for it all .
You said the highest evil in the world you haven't seen nothing yet when the Devil comes to earth and erased billions of people in this planet 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wait until she hears what is happening to the Palestinians. She'll lose her mind about how they can commit the same atrocities via different methods to other people after what they went through.
It is terrible from both sides. I saw what Hamas did to a bunch of innocent Israelites, young children & teen girls. They started what's been going on. The same with Russia & Ukraine. Russia started it, but both sides commit horrific atrocities, because that's war, & war is Hell.
You have your head screwed on backwards. Radical Islamists who were and still are aligned with the Nazis who want all Jews in the world disappeared are literally trying to do the same as Hitler today. But go ahead and support them and spread their hate against jews.
no mention of the holodomor when the bolsheviks murdered ten million peasant farmers, mostly by starvation, in ukraine during the collectivization of agriculture there in the 1920's. you'll never guess what minority comprised the majority of the secret police who carried out this mass murder.
The Nazi party is as socialist as the people democratic republic of Korea (north korea) is a democracy. They were a far right party and weren’t socialist, they used to have a socialist wing called the SA but Hitler had them all killed
This is not called Socialism. Where ever did you get that idea? This is an evil, mentally ill man set out exterminating an entire population of people. Go learn some history and go back to school.
The injustices of the past DO NOT justify injustices now. What is happening to innocent Palestinian people today is as much of an unconscionable atrocity as what happened then, and should be stopped immediately. If we don't, future generations will look at us with the same disgust and horror as we view the 1940s Germany.
The history of the Holocaust is exactly why ISRAEL is in the wrong here. Even their own government knows it's wrong because they keep trying, and failing to hide it, and lie about it.
@LadyDoomsinger and what hamas and the public under hamas control openly support hamas 7th Oct actions are no better. Stop lying and pretending one side is innocent, both are guilty.

This particular video does seem to at least cover the basics about what happened, but veers off a bit when going into explaining the "Why" of it - for example, Hitler did not hate Christianity, he was in fact highly religious and used Christianity as justification for Nazi atrocities - whether Hitler was a genuine believer, or simply used religious iconography for public support and propaganda purposes must be left to speculation at this point - but by all written accounts, he presented himself as Christian.
I strongly recommend looking up alternative sources for the full picture, and a slightly less biased explanation.
Yeah I was interested, heard the dead monotone voice and noticed it’s prageru
Can’t be trusted to give a full understanding, which is crucial
Where are the videos from the left educating people on this and many other topics? People need to learn of the horrors of the Holocaust and of Stalin's USSR. If the left won't tell them, the right will.
@@tolson57 thats funny! The right will teach about fascism and the atrocities that came out of it? Trump use Hitler and his fascism as a kind of playbook for his own wish to be a dictator. He is truly capable to commit crimes similar to those of Hitler and his nazis. You might be astounded by the fact that for every german child it is mandatory to learn about the"third reich" and the Holocaust. Its school curriculum. And it was and is the right wing forces in Germany to try to undermine that teaching. So, go and educate yourself what is really going on about teaching the history of the Holocaust before making such absurd statements.
Exactly. The "why" and "how" are the most important things, because things like this still happen today. The film "The Wave (Die Welle)" gives a good understanding of this.
Not sure a communist is the best person to comment on a PragerU video.
Germany be like you can watch a documentary about it every day

Hitler's record on Christianity was complicated and mixed. In Mein Kampf he invokes the name of Jesus and the Christian God to justify his anti-Judaism. He was baptised Catholic, and never renounced his baptism. He manipulated the Catholic church and other branches of Christianity, including concluding the "Reichskoncordat" with Pope Pius XII, with varying effects on the body count of the Holocaust. The Wehrmacht (Nazi infantry soldiers) wore belt buckles that said "GOTT MIT UNS" ("God With Us"). Some Christians did resist Hitler, and the armies that stopped him included a lot of Christians, but to say that Hitler hated Christianity, or vice versa, is a great oversimplification. Many, many Christians were already raised to be anti-Jew through centuries of Christian-on-Jew hatred, and participated willingly in the Holocaust.
First: Be careful watching Prager stuff. They are notoriously conservative and right wing. They have the same kinda video that clears Christopher Columbus of his slave trade.
That being said, for a 5 minute video on one of the world's worst human tragedies, I can't fault this one much. It doesn't even scratch the outermost layer of WW2 and the Holocaust though.
Second: If this is a topic you want to learn more of there are seriously better resources and media. The graphic novel: Maus, The book: Anne Frank's Diary, The movie: Schindler's List to name the top.
And the documentary "Shoa."
They used skin to make lamp shades.
And chair seats.
How can it be that you don't know all this? What do you learn about the Second World War in history at school? I recommend the movie Schindler's List.
Not every country puts the same emphasis on WW2 that, say, the main Allied nations of the war do. (US, Canada, England, Ect)
0:40 young people has a worrying lack of EVERY basic knowledge!!! 😂😂😂 (sorry, I'm 48, force of habit)
All of WW2 just because Adolph was rejected by the Vienne art school.
A kind of -- I'll show them -- that was taken too far.
Eh, not really. Technically he already had those thoughts when he was on the trenches with his german buddies killing the brits and french. Then when he got rejected by the art school. The nazi party just saw him and thought, "Mmm... this dude looks like anti-jew material" and incorporated him and saw. That they had very similar ideas. So he became activist, then politician, and then somehow became chancellor of Germany despite being from Austria. Honestly in retrospective, bot world wars were Austrias fault, but Germany took the blame for it all .
Think of itceverey day im half german.
You said the highest evil in the world you haven't seen nothing yet when the Devil comes to earth and erased billions of people in this planet 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

WHY?!! DO PEOPLE STILL SEE AND CREATE CHRISTIANITY AS SOME FORM OF A COUNTRY.
Do you know another 50 to 60 million people died or were killed around the world during this time period.
Watch europa the last battle
Always be cautious of people who promise to make your country great again. Adolf promised that too.
Like the ADL/AIPAC endorsed leftist commies, just like the jews were corrupting Europe back then?
Well he did actually made the country great but then he went full crazy…
Wait until she hears what is happening to the Palestinians. She'll lose her mind about how they can commit the same atrocities via different methods to other people after what they went through.
It is terrible from both sides. I saw what Hamas did to a bunch of innocent Israelites, young children & teen girls. They started what's been going on. The same with Russia & Ukraine. Russia started it, but both sides commit horrific atrocities, because that's war, & war is Hell.
Nonsense.
You have your head screwed on backwards. Radical Islamists who were and still are aligned with the Nazis who want all Jews in the world disappeared are literally trying to do the same as Hitler today. But go ahead and support them and spread their hate against jews.
👏
No one would associate themselves with that evil. Maybe have a look at Trump supporters.
My heart goes out to all the Europeans murdered by jewish communists between 1915-1950
You think this is bad? wait till you learn about what the Japanese did during the war especially in places like Nanjing and Manilla
Your first mistake was watching anything from prager u... Literally Wikipedia would've been a better source...
Everything prager u said is true. Of course there are more sources, this video is too short to talk about everything that happened in the holocaust
She should watch it live in Gaza
Nazis kill jews not muslims. So its not nazi to eliminate muslims
no mention of the holodomor when the bolsheviks murdered ten million peasant farmers, mostly by starvation, in ukraine during the collectivization of agriculture there in the 1920's. you'll never guess what minority comprised the majority of the secret police who carried out this mass murder.
🙄
@@adriancollette7010 Shame on you. That is a whole new and diffrent story. Why you all drag Gaza into this topic? Unbelievable
This is called Socialism and this is what happens when you think its a good idea.
The Nazi party is as socialist as the people democratic republic of Korea (north korea) is a democracy. They were a far right party and weren’t socialist, they used to have a socialist wing called the SA but Hitler had them all killed
This is not called Socialism. Where ever did you get that idea? This is an evil, mentally ill man set out exterminating an entire population of people. Go learn some history and go back to school.
Go back to school and get an education about the truth!
Not even a little bit true. You should change your user name.
This is fascism & imperialism & communism. Socialism isn't the main one in this.
good job you didnt watch real footage, youll have a breakdown. support Israel, its the only place we got, Gil from Israel
Israel is now in the Position Like the Nazis before
The injustices of the past DO NOT justify injustices now. What is happening to innocent Palestinian people today is as much of an unconscionable atrocity as what happened then, and should be stopped immediately. If we don't, future generations will look at us with the same disgust and horror as we view the 1940s Germany.
The history of the Holocaust is exactly why ISRAEL is in the wrong here. Even their own government knows it's wrong because they keep trying, and failing to hide it, and lie about it.
Is real is just as bad.
@LadyDoomsinger and what hamas and the public under hamas control openly support hamas 7th Oct actions are no better. Stop lying and pretending one side is innocent, both are guilty.
How tf did she not know what the holocaust was?
If the accent didn't give it away... She's from another country. Not every country puts emphasis on the same history or pov that America does.
