I lived in Pol Pot region in Cambodia 4 yrs, 1975-1979. My Mom was so brave decided to escape in the middle of the night to find future for her 7 children. So this movie reminded me of my brave mother. We were in refugees camp from 1979-1981. I would never forget how we lived in the war country. I’m in USA now.
That's an amazing story ! wow! good for you and your mother and family for making it out ! Pol Pot did horrible things to Cambodia. Im glad you have freedom in the USA. Bless you.
My parents were in Cambodia with a church medical group. Managed to bring out nine of a family of thirteen. Mr Lim and two of his children died in the caves. This was in 1976. Mrs Lim and her daughter Dr. Lim have passed away, but the brothers and sisters are doing well.
RIP Thomas "Toivi" Blatt (1927 - 2015). He was the mastermind behind this 1987 film and was portrayed in the film as Toivi. I was blessed to have met him many times when he lived in the Seattle area in the 1990s. The Sobibor escape was the only successful revolt by Jewish and political prisoners during the Holocaust. Never forget, never again! #StandAgainstHate

48:09 this is correct. My granny told me about those outside would hear the screams of those inside so they knew it wasnt a shower unlike what the docs tell us. When the doors were open, youd have seen where prisoners climbed ontop of each other, like a pyramid to escape. She was actually a seamstress so worked with the clothes left behind and grampy survived the rising and camp. The men and boys would go first as germans thought the women would be more compliant and go quietly. Although they had the "death fear". So those who heard the screaming would soil themselves, collapse, shake or become paralysed. This is a film, a film isnt fact but i believe the writers did research. I cannot stand it and its a struggle to watch. In a way that tells me its good and is a fight unto itself. I'm older now but it still brings me to tears to see the little ones being led away. I cannot fathom how people can do this
Interesting comment; thank you! While I agree that the writers did an excellent job, it *is* based on the book by Richard Rashke. He did extensive research as well. At the end of the book, he tells about his interviews with Toivi, Shlomo, Chaim & Selma, and others.

I saw this movie for the first time when I was 13 years old. I was browsing around on Amazon Prime for something to watch because I had to stay home from school due to being sick and I came across this movie. I already knew what Auschwitz was by that point in time, but I had no idea what Sobibor was. What I could tell, however, from just the picture alone was that Sobibor was a Nazi camp of some sort. So I decided to take a look at it. But as I was watching it, my parents noticed that I showed absolutely no emotion on my face. No tears, no laughing (obviously), no frowns, or smiles. What was there for me to do? How was I supposed to react when I didn't know what to make of what I saw? I was only 13! It's now been 7 years since that point in my life and every year without fail, I always watched this movie on October 14th as a mark of respect to those who died at Sobibor and those who did survive. I've never forgotten the name Sobibor ever since. I still can't bring myself to watch the gas chamber scene. I saw only 5 seconds of it when I was 13 and was horrified and/or disgusted by what I saw. I was disgusted enough to a point where I just simply walked out of the room to get some popcorn. I even muted the TV so I wouldn't have to hear the rest of the God awful screaming. I would've met that very same fate if I were alive during those times. I'm not Jewish, but I do have a number of mental health issues that cannot be managed without medication. I pray there will be a day when the will be no more racial ideology or anything else like it.

I remember watching the local news after the movie it was revealed by a husband and wife that what we watched on the movie was half of what happened during the revolt at Sobibor. I was moved to tears and later cried after watching the movie. I’m so glad they Escaped From Sobibor.
I am here in 2024. I will be 73 on August 8th. I’ve seen it before years ago. This is not easy being Jewish watching this but my family never talked about what happened. I learned everything I know about Shoah on my own.
@sherrymacgregor8491 hello, I'm so sorry that your family were there, 😢 sending you so many hugs. I'm 38, I live in Israel, no one in my family were there, but my whole life I had dreams of the holocaust, since I was a kid, and I have a strange thing about it, I learn all I can, I watch documentaries about it, I always find myself looking in to the eyes of the poor victims as if I'm trying to recognize someone. And now... well, never thought it would be so, but October 7th happened, and the world is again against us jews. I hope you are safe and will stay safe. Much love ❤❤❤❤
I am watching from United States in September 2024. This 1980s TV movie is still relevant and very good in 2024. The fight against nazism and evil must not be forgotten. The Jews still fight today.
And Palestinien children and women are killed in camps as well … what a tragic turn of History repeating itself . I live in Poland and I visited these camps where 6 million Jews were burnt alive … an unspeakable massacre…. I have been twice to Israel and I could not understand why they recreated barbed wires and miradores like in these camps …. This modern war is a tragedy on both sides : Palestinian and Israeli Hatred breads hatred and the victims are always the most vulnerable: children and women and elderly on both sides. In war there are no winners but the dead , destruction , danger for the intl peace
Watching this movie for the first time. Being someone from India, where my ancestors were persecuted on their own lands for Being Hindus, at the hands of Muslims I know what stripping of your identity, family, loved ones mean. So far whenever someone talked about horrors of holocaust the picture that came to my mind was mostly the concentration camps. This movie told me how prevalent were extermination camps and people going in had no clue of their painful death, which was minutes away.
@@srihariseralathan7534 Sad that edxtremely accurae portrayals of muslim atrocities by muslim embedded historians speak of unspeakable horrors. millions of hindus were killed only for being kafirs and idol worshippers and not converting to filthy islam. There is a mountain range in afghanistan called hindukush, killer of hindus, because thousands and thousands of hindus died in the snow there while being taken over there as slaves. indian hindu women were raped and sold in Afghanistan for two dinars each: dokhtar-e-hind: do dinars. 50000 shiva devotees were killed in one day alone and the somnath temple destroyed by ghazni. there are stories which ill fill volumes that say about the atrocities and massacres of the filthiest, vilest, barbaric muslims on peaceful hindus and buddhists. The holocaust happened once in Germany. There were hundreds of holocausts in india for 1000 years. October 7 hamas attack on israel was so cruel and every one knows because it is so recent and documented. WHO WILL DOCUMENT THE SUFFERINGS OF PEACUFUL HINDUS AND BUDDHISTS?
well don’t understand One thing as shown and written lots about this tragic and explosive general killing of Jews in this killings of innocent people entire Europe was involved Except Muslim countries (none of the them)But today Jews are killing Innocent Muslims children Women People WHY ??? they are massacres against innocent Palestinian citizens 😭
For those on here using this movie to bash political issues of today- move along and troll elsewhere. This is not the place. For the rest, this movie was written and directed with the few living SOBIBOR survivors left. They were-on set for authenticity. Remember, they have family still alive so be respectful, please.
A superb movie & a big thank you to whoever made this excellent quality version available ❤️ Don't forget a shout-out to Yugoslavia for hosting the production , Ukraine & Poland don't come out of this in a good light 🤨
I used to watch this movie when I was growing up at age 8yrs.But today having to watch as an adult and having read how God liberated the Jews from Egypt through Moses,save the lineage of the Jews through queen Esther it enstrengthens my faith to know that the God of Israel is a faith God.The ALPHA and omega
If your "god" liberated the jews, then why did your "god" not intervene during the Holocaust? Do you think your "god" would support what Israel has been doing to the Palestinians?
@@soeffingwhat Do you think Allah would support Oct 7? actually, yeah, that's kind of one key difference isn't it...If Allah existed in form THEY frame him..he'd be totally into THAT. Fortunately he never did exist and does not exist..all we have is that sick brain-damaged culture acting like the bastard does and like he's like THAT. Of courseMo DID exist and HE was the type who does Oct 7..so they can always cite him
I'm not jewish...I'm mixed race English /Jamaican. But i remember watching this as a twelve year old in the late 1980s on the british TV channel ITV......I also remember nearly in fact crying a little when they escaped against all odds...I didn't realise how evil and cruel the human race was then and now...l never forgot escape from sobibor and hadn't seen it for years.. i've watched this again only in very recent years ...Reading the books and watching the documentaries.. Now i know the full truth behind the real life horrors of sobibor... One of several nazi death camps during World War Two....All of the sobibor survivors have now passed.... The most recent was p.o.w semyon rosenfeld in 2019 ....But their courage and their bravery of the human spirit will never be forgotten...The evils of the Holocaust I pray never happens again...And i hope all of the Nazis directly involved are rotting in hell now....
What I will never comprehend, is how the people responsible for these atrocities, were convinced enough of the correctness of their actions that they could go home to their wives and children, be loving husbands and fathers, sleep soundly, then get up to commit this horrifying bloodshed again and again and again.
They had a nerve block in their emotions! That's how! I need a nerve block for nee pain in my knee seriously !difficult type of block yes ? SS shot jews. sat down exchanged family pics & eyes b came misty ! in book hitlers ovens by dr lengyll in that book says dr & dr lengyl worked along side w/mengele. uncle killed in 44 Dec killed Dec 18th mom's kid brother 20 yrs
When a group of people can be convinced that another group of people are subhuman, gas chambers and the like are but a few steps away... 😔 Sadly I fear the world is close to something awful like this happening again. There's no shortage of powerful nutters that want such a thing. That's the only good thing about nuclear weapons I think. At least they might spare us this... But that's swapping one Hell for another obviously.... 😔
Answer to that question lies in the Lanzmann's interview with one of the low-rank crew members operating in another 'compound' of this sort: They were told that they will be operating a labor camp, they only realized they were detailed to operate an extermination camp after they arrived there, so just like victims they were tricked. Some of them got sick to their stomach when they realized what kind of a place it was. They also knew that in military orders are orders and refusal would mean being sent to the eastern front, where Germany had 90% of all of their military losses during war, so basically a death sentence. So, to some degree, it was their life vs their victims life. I bet some of them operated those camps willfully though, as there was a strong anti-jewish sentiment and propaganda during those days. Hitler could have been easily defeated already in 1939, yet FR and UK preferred to betray Poland and left them on their own, PL had to fight USSR alone too at the same time. It also begs the question why UK paid Hitler 10 mln D.Marks in gold few months before the war. Also why Hitler was initially strongly supported by US both financially and technologically in developing his army and establishing its regime. It's almost like the whole thing was a setup between the Western governments for those atrocities to happen, because they, according to J.Karski, 'were totally indifferent about it'. I wonder.
"As always, I expect you to be smiling when the train arrives. Remember, we are welcoming these people." Proceeds to whip and beat the people when they arrive.
The camp was already scheduled to be closed. Knowing it was coming (with liquidation of all surviving prisoners was what spurred the revolt). Himmler just followed through with what had been already planned. Although yes, it does seem more dramatic in a film, to have a camp close because of a revolt.
Thank God people survived Belzec, Sobibor and Treblinka (as well as the 100s of other concentration camps), we will never forget this atrocity. anyone who believes this did not happen needs to visit planet earth and wake up and smell the coffee
This movie is a masterpiece, I just wish more people know about it like Schindler's List. The whole last 40 minutes of them planning their escape, slowly killing the Nazi officers one by one, great film.
Thank you for the upload. I saw this movie as a kid but seeing it now brings a greater understanding. I really feel to be ashamed to be born in this world where such horrific cruelty took place. As a Christian, I ask my God why he fell silent when his people underwent such suffering. Angry as I feel, the answer is not in hating German Nazis now, but in hating every man made identity that separates us. In the end we are all just organic beings who are not sure how we came here and have no clue where we are going.

This movie has been actually shooted in Yugoslavia 1986 today Serbia few km from the Capital city of Belgrade and belive or not I have been given has three month baby for the movie and I am proud that I have participated in the movie based by true events when people in that time said I AM ENOUGH OF THIS, I AM HUMAN, I WANT TO LIVE AND WANT TO FIGHT AND GET OUT OF HERE and the main fact of this Movie is AS LONG FAITH AND DESIRE FOR FIGHTING AND LIFE EXIST THERE IS HOPE IN THE FUTURE 🌍🌍🌍... PEACE TO THE WORLD AND EVIL NEVER AGAIN 🙏🙏🙏
I am kenyan 🇰🇪. I first watched this when I was a teenager. Every time I watch this movie my heart goes out for the Jews coz they saw the devil with their naked eyes and swore never again.
yep.. I feel and felt the same.. but when I see what these israelis are doing with palestinians .. same they were treated .. i dont feel the same for jews now.
I see same hate to Jews from Muslims. Quran calls Jews little devils. Muhammad that in end of time Big imam Mahdi going to kill all Jews and Christian’s and establish global kalifat. Holocaust of Jews nation is part of Islam
Hitler visited the Ottoman Empire often and they spoke a lot about their shared hatred of Jews. Their conversations were recorded and transcribed. The Jews in this movie are absolutely the Jews in Israel. Atleast 1 holocaust survivor was terrorized and kidnapped on October 7th. It’s easy to judge Israel but hopefully by re watching things like this people remember why Jews will never allow anyone to do this again. In the last 20 years Hamas and other Palestinian extremist groups have carried out almost 150 + terror attacks on Israel with October the 7th being the worst. You should also remember that Israel are the only country that pre warns the area where they will be bombing that they are doing just that… and every single time they have Hamas has told Gazans not to leave. And also let’s remember Sinwar is grateful for the amount of Palestinians that has died… he literally asked for more and said the more that dies the better it is for him. You’re really going to place no blame on him? People should be able to still sympathize with Jews and Israel about the holocaust and October 7 and also sympathize with the Gazans and hopefully people are respectful and mature enough the see each one of these tragedies exactly as that, and not let it hinder your opinion about any of it. They’re all human beings.
As I watched this my heart was with them as they ran for freedom those who planned it many others too. Painful to watch but should never be forgotten. Never to be repeated. God bless
This was only camp that actually fought back and this was Sobibor and they planned it with hush tones and I really enjoyed this movie about WW2. Many of the Suvivors live in Israel now and some live in the US! Good movie.
That's not correct. There were also uprisings at Auschwitz-Birkenau and Treblinka. The uprising at Auschwitz-Birkenau ended in those involved being killed by the Nazis. The uprising at Treblinka saw prisoners (out of 840 in the camp at the time) killed in the fighting, and nearly 400 managed to escape with 70 escapees surviving the War.
The ones who were left behind in the camp because they were too weak to escape ended being killed off-screen after the uprising which makes it more sad 😢
Especially after October 7, 2023, anyone who sees this film and still does not understand why Jews need their own state has serious mental and moral issues.
It is baffling how many people in this comment section are comparing the crisis in gaza to the holocaust. It makes me believe that this movie might be all they've seen about the event. This movie sanitizes the true horrors experienced at this camp alone. The true conditions and scale of the whole event couldn't be portrayed with modern cinematography, let alone the practical effects and make-up of the 80s.
It's amazing how good the film looks in HD all thanks to it being shot on film. When you compare to the old VHS and DVD, the movie almost looks different in a good way.
blue macaws are my favourite birds. just wanted to point that out cuz i can't help but display my fascination with them whenever i see them. they're just so beautiful
I saw this movie when I was a child. I'm not Jewish but I am black and my family lived through Jim Crow in the south. When studying my mom's side of the family I had family that were lynched. I'm lucky I was born in 1982.
And the Democratic Party is pushing the segregation again in 2023!! Remember it was Lincoln who was Republican that freed the slaves! The Democratic Party is the party of EVIL!
@@sqlcomp Lincoln would not have been a Republican by todays standards. All you conservatives seem to forget that the parties had a major flip when LBJ signed the civil rights act into law in the 60s. Many democrats flipped over night to the Republican Party which was the beginning of the GOP. Lincoln is not at all associated with the Grand Ole Party, read a history textbook. Lincoln was a liberal Republican.
Ojciec mojego kolegi przeżył obóz, bo grał na skrzypcach w takiej orkiestrze, która witała transporty. Wiedział że idą do gazu te wszystkie transporty. Opowiadał o swoim życiu w obozie. Powiedział że chęć przeżycia jest tak wielka, gdy wkoło sama śmierć, że człowiek na wszystko przystanie, aby przeżyć.
Thanks to anyone, who uploaded this video! I was hunting for it for years! Just wanted to see how Rutger would portray Russian officer. Ad I’m Russian too. And he did it brilliantly as usual!
Look at the costume design at 55:40. The Dutch Jews that are arriving in Sobibor could perfectly pass as Dutch. They did some serious research before shooting this film.
I'm one of the women coming off the train😊, as an extra. It was filmed in Serbia, in the woods near Belgrade. There was a wardrobe where we got fitted in complete outfits. Attention to detail was amazing, I was impressed with the crew. I watched this movie on my old phone and quality is so much better now on my Iphone so I'll rewatch it to see if I can recognize myself in that crowd coming off train and in some other scenes. I recognized myself before only in the group dancing scene in camp at 56:59 when girls dance. We praticed that dance for ten days before the shooting night. We were told it was Dutch folk dance. I was chosen with other girls because we had folk dancing experience. We were fitted in loose clothes to show we lost weight from malnutrition in camp. 😢 Since you like era clothes, I got suspenders that Rutger Hauer wore, I told him I often wear suspenders but never had that type with leather that buttons up to pants so he gifted me two pairs that I wore for years. I didn't know who he is, he introduced himself but I knew only that he has a big role. I wish I took pic with him but I rarely took pics... Anyway, this was an interesting experience and my summer job, to be an extra in movies and TV shows. 😁 I loved seeing how movies are made. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk 😂🎉❤
@@Sandrica011BGHej, možeš li u komentaru poslati google earth lokaciju gde je bio napravljen set za ovaj film? Sada sam ga prvi put pogledao i skontao da je snimljen kod nas čim sam prepoznao Mišu Janketića, Irfana Mensura, Predraga Milinkovića i Svetislava Goncića. Piše na Wikipediji da je negde na Avali. Kontam da je bar set stanice negde pored pruge. Jel sve bilo na jednom mestu?
I was supposed to watch this back in April 18, 2008. In middle school 😮 I am now 30 years old and finally watching it.....I even found my old permission slip.
At around 1:31:00 there is a very subtle scene. Another trainload of prisoners is brutally whippe out of the train car, they don't even pretend that it's a nice place to be anymore, like at the beginning of the movie, and they show a young woman looking around worried wearing a wool beret and a plaid jacket, then the scene cuts to the sorting room and the sorter is picking up a plaid jacket ...
And the descendants of those killed here are doing more than that in Gaza today. As you escaped captivity then Palestine will be Free from river to the sea

What an emotional and heartbreaking movie... an OST so hard to find, especially the music of the final escape, it's epic.
The best line..." If you cut the brains, the strength becomes useless"...❤❤❤
Well said
My favorite line is when he goes "My wife, my child" and gets up holding the axe.
Dec 2024...OMG...I couldn't stop watching. So sad n horrifying n brave. Well worth the watch. Thank you for posting for all to see
Thank you for uploading this great movie, may we never forget these heroes
For those on here using this movie to bash political issues of today- move along and troll elsewhere. This is not the place. For the rest, this movie was written and directed with the few living SOBIBOR survivors left. They were-on set for authenticity. Remember, they have family still alive so be respectful, please.
Whatever!
Pretending this couldn't happen today is exactly how it will happen, and the people responsible will sound just like you.
Netanyahu is the 21st century Hitler
Forgot to mention….excellent quality and the subtitles are awesome! Thank you! New subscriber
Thank you Donna for so much praise! Appreciate it! I haven't been much active lately, but I'm definitely going to upload a new movie during Christmas.

Who's here September 2024😢
Watching October 2024 what a world we live in.
Saw this in 6th grade but NEVER knew the name and could only remember the ending for reference. Thanks so much for this hq upload!!
Am watching this movie in june 2024
A superb movie & a big thank you to whoever made this excellent quality version available ❤️ Don't forget a shout-out to Yugoslavia for hosting the production , Ukraine & Poland don't come out of this in a good light 🤨
I used to watch this movie when I was growing up at age 8yrs.But today having to watch as an adult and having read how God liberated the Jews from Egypt through Moses,save the lineage of the Jews through queen Esther it enstrengthens my faith to know that the God of Israel is a faith God.The ALPHA and omega
If your "god" liberated the jews, then why did your "god" not intervene during the Holocaust? Do you think your "god" would support what Israel has been doing to the Palestinians?
@@soeffingwhat Do you think Allah would support Oct 7?
actually, yeah, that's kind of one key difference isn't it...If Allah existed in form THEY frame him..he'd be totally into THAT. Fortunately he never did exist and does not exist..all we have is that sick brain-damaged culture acting like the bastard does and like he's like THAT. Of courseMo DID exist and HE was the type who does Oct 7..so they can always cite him
Sasha’s shirt (1:57) that he wore during the escape is in a museum near Moscow. It was in a Israeli museum but was moved.
I'm not jewish...I'm mixed race English /Jamaican. But i remember watching this as a twelve year old in the late 1980s on the british TV channel ITV......I also remember nearly in fact crying a little when they escaped against all odds...I didn't realise how evil and cruel the human race was then and now...l never forgot escape from sobibor and hadn't seen it for years.. i've watched this again only in very recent years ...Reading the books and watching the documentaries.. Now i know the full truth behind the real life horrors of sobibor... One of several nazi death camps during World War Two....All of the sobibor survivors have now passed.... The most recent was p.o.w semyon rosenfeld in 2019 ....But their courage and their bravery of the human spirit will never be forgotten...The evils of the Holocaust I pray never happens again...And i hope all of the Nazis directly involved are rotting in hell now....
Thank you for this great upload! 🙏🏽

After watching this movie in the 90s, my uncle named our first dog Sobibor.
I'm only watching it now in 2024, in South Africa.

A very touching storyline congratulations to those who made it
Long live Israel and its heroic people. Love and respect from Bulgaria.

Rutger Hauer made this one a superb movie!
What I will never comprehend, is how the people responsible for these atrocities, were convinced enough of the correctness of their actions that they could go home to their wives and children, be loving husbands and fathers, sleep soundly, then get up to commit this horrifying bloodshed again and again and again.
They had a nerve block in their emotions! That's how! I need a nerve block for nee pain in my knee seriously !difficult type of block yes ? SS shot jews. sat down exchanged family pics & eyes b came misty ! in book hitlers ovens by dr lengyll in that book says dr & dr lengyl worked along side w/mengele. uncle killed in 44 Dec killed Dec 18th mom's kid brother 20 yrs
That was how powerful Nazism was
When a group of people can be convinced that another group of people are subhuman, gas chambers and the like are but a few steps away... 😔 Sadly I fear the world is close to something awful like this happening again. There's no shortage of powerful nutters that want such a thing. That's the only good thing about nuclear weapons I think. At least they might spare us this... But that's swapping one Hell for another obviously.... 😔
@@adumogiramoijohn8009 that's how evil they were.
Answer to that question lies in the Lanzmann's interview with one of the low-rank crew members operating in another 'compound' of this sort:
They were told that they will be operating a labor camp, they only realized they were detailed to operate an extermination camp after they arrived there, so just like victims they were tricked. Some of them got sick to their stomach when they realized what kind of a place it was.
They also knew that in military orders are orders and refusal would mean being sent to the eastern front, where Germany had 90% of all of their military losses during war, so basically a death sentence. So, to some degree, it was their life vs their victims life. I bet some of them operated those camps willfully though, as there was a strong anti-jewish sentiment and propaganda during those days.
Hitler could have been easily defeated already in 1939, yet FR and UK preferred to betray Poland and left them on their own, PL had to fight USSR alone too at the same time. It also begs the question why UK paid Hitler 10 mln D.Marks in gold few months before the war. Also why Hitler was initially strongly supported by US both financially and technologically in developing his army and establishing its regime. It's almost like the whole thing was a setup between the Western governments for those atrocities to happen, because they, according to J.Karski, 'were totally indifferent about it'. I wonder.
"As always, I expect you to be smiling when the train arrives. Remember, we are welcoming these people." Proceeds to whip and beat the people when they arrive.
My heart was pounding so hard at the scene where Shlomo steals the weapons from the Barracks wondering whether or not he might be caught.
The camp was already scheduled to be closed. Knowing it was coming (with liquidation of all surviving prisoners was what spurred the revolt).
Himmler just followed through with what had been already planned.
Although yes, it does seem more dramatic in a film, to have a camp
close because of a revolt.
It's so heart breaking to know how people have gone through so much pain and suffering.. Peace be to all the people of this earth
I've always been drawn to the colors of old films like these
Thank God people survived Belzec, Sobibor and Treblinka (as well as the 100s of other concentration camps), we will never forget this atrocity. anyone who believes this did not happen needs to visit planet earth and wake up and smell the coffee
This movie is a masterpiece, I just wish more people know about it like Schindler's List. The whole last 40 minutes of them planning their escape, slowly killing the Nazi officers one by one, great film.
Sad twist hitler
Amazing film, such bravery will never be fogotten
Gaza Palestine today, apparently someone did forget.
One of the best movies ive ever seen, very well done.👍👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Freedom and respect are the biggest things. Salute to freedom fighters 💪🏻🫡🇮🇳❤️🇷🇺❤️🇮🇱❤🇺🇸
Watching this movie several times and still unfathomable
I remember first seeing this a kid 35 years ago, it shocked me to hell, this is a very powerful movie indeed 💓💓💓
It's a very good movie ,I have watched this multiple times
All dear Jewish people around the World , sending you love from India!
❤❤❤
nobody is watching in October 2024💯💯
✋✋✋
🤚🤚🤚
Last watched when I was still a boy 😢
Wow. I watch and read a lot of military documentaries and movies but this one is hitting me hard. First 15 minutes especially
Forcing them to choose 13 partners in death was a cruelty I shivered at. The sheer humiliation makes you grit your teeth in anger.
The saddest movies of all time 😭😭
This movie used to make me cry when I was a young girl I'm in my 40s and I still cry
Saw this when I was 14... made me cry,especially when the men who were captured were forced to choose a man to die with them...
Thank you for the upload. I saw this movie as a kid but seeing it now brings a greater understanding. I really feel to be ashamed to be born in this world where such horrific cruelty took place. As a Christian, I ask my God why he fell silent when his people underwent such suffering. Angry as I feel, the answer is not in hating German Nazis now, but in hating every man made identity that separates us. In the end we are all just organic beings who are not sure how we came here and have no clue where we are going.
Very sure 👍
Hello Christian. Maybe you should read the Bible a bit more and you would know why this horror occurred.
I always sob whenever I watch this movie.
The Jewish people are my people and they are my brothers and sisters.
Never forget 07.10.2023.
WHAT TRIBE HAS BEEN KICKED OUT OF 109 COUNTRIES, OVER 1000 TIMES, AND NOW MURDERS THE PALESTINIANS WHOLESALE? WHY DO FORCES ATTEMPT TO SILENCE US WITH FEAR AND PUNISHMENT, IF WE QUESTION HOW MANY FROM THIS TRIBE, WERE KILLED IN WW II? 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
When he shot the woman and her baby. That hit hard😢
Best line in the whole film. "Who will forgive God?"
wow, this hd version is awesome. good as new.
I remember watching this movie in 1995... i really cried, memories indeed.
This movie has been actually shooted in Yugoslavia 1986 today Serbia few km from the Capital city of Belgrade and belive or not I have been given has three month baby for the movie and I am proud that I have participated in the movie based by true events when people in that time said I AM ENOUGH OF THIS, I AM HUMAN, I WANT TO LIVE AND WANT TO FIGHT AND GET OUT OF HERE and the main fact of this Movie is AS LONG FAITH AND DESIRE FOR FIGHTING AND LIFE EXIST THERE IS HOPE IN THE FUTURE 🌍🌍🌍... PEACE TO THE WORLD AND EVIL NEVER AGAIN 🙏🙏🙏
I am kenyan 🇰🇪. I first watched this when I was a teenager. Every time I watch this movie my heart goes out for the Jews coz they saw the devil with their naked eyes and swore never again.
yep.. I feel and felt the same.. but when I see what these israelis are doing with palestinians .. same they were treated .. i dont feel the same for jews now.
@@simplensample2724 true enough but these are Israelis, not the same as the Jewish victims of Nazi Germany
I see same hate to Jews from Muslims. Quran calls Jews little devils. Muhammad that in end of time Big imam Mahdi going to kill all Jews and Christian’s and establish global kalifat.
Holocaust of Jews nation is part of Islam
Hitler visited the Ottoman Empire often and they spoke a lot about their shared hatred of Jews. Their conversations were recorded and transcribed.
The Jews in this movie are absolutely the Jews in Israel. Atleast 1 holocaust survivor was terrorized and kidnapped on October 7th.
It’s easy to judge Israel but hopefully by re watching things like this people remember why Jews will never allow anyone to do this again.
In the last 20 years Hamas and other Palestinian extremist groups have carried out almost 150 + terror attacks on Israel with October the 7th being the worst.
You should also remember that Israel are the only country that pre warns the area where they will be bombing that they are doing just that… and every single time they have Hamas has told Gazans not to leave.
And also let’s remember Sinwar is grateful for the amount of Palestinians that has died… he literally asked for more and said the more that dies the better it is for him. You’re really going to place no blame on him?
People should be able to still sympathize with Jews and Israel about the holocaust and October 7 and also sympathize with the Gazans and hopefully people are respectful and mature enough the see each one of these tragedies exactly as that, and not let it hinder your opinion about any of it.
They’re all human beings.
Now they’re doing same to people in Gaza
As I watched this my heart was with them as they ran for freedom those who planned it many others too. Painful to watch but should never be forgotten. Never to be repeated. God bless
Patience is a vertue. Humanity always has a breed of cruelty. If we have energy to waste let us waste it on people who reduce it like this
Thank You Great Movie ❤🎉❤😮
This was only camp that actually fought back and this was Sobibor and they planned it with hush tones and I really enjoyed this movie about WW2. Many of the Suvivors live in Israel now and some live in the US! Good movie.
That's not correct. There were also uprisings at Auschwitz-Birkenau and Treblinka. The uprising at Auschwitz-Birkenau ended in those involved being killed by the Nazis. The uprising at Treblinka saw prisoners (out of 840 in the camp at the time) killed in the fighting, and nearly 400 managed to escape with 70 escapees surviving the War.
The ones who were left behind in the camp because they were too weak to escape ended being killed off-screen after the uprising which makes it more sad 😢
I remember watching this in 6th grade with my English teacher Ms Funk. It still hits hard
Especially after October 7, 2023, anyone who sees this film and still does not understand why Jews need their own state has serious mental and moral issues.
It is baffling how many people in this comment section are comparing the crisis in gaza to the holocaust. It makes me believe that this movie might be all they've seen about the event.
This movie sanitizes the true horrors experienced at this camp alone. The true conditions and scale of the whole event couldn't be portrayed with modern cinematography, let alone the practical effects and make-up of the 80s.
It's amazing how good the film looks in HD all thanks to it being shot on film. When you compare to the old VHS and DVD, the movie almost looks different in a good way.
I'm watching from South Africa 😢
I have watched this film many times and always feel sad - What these people went through is war and this must never happen again
blue macaws are my favourite birds. just wanted to point that out cuz i can't help but display my fascination with them whenever i see them. they're just so beautiful
I saw this movie when I was a child. I'm not Jewish but I am black and my family lived through Jim Crow in the south. When studying my mom's side of the family I had family that were lynched. I'm lucky I was born in 1982.
And the Democratic Party is pushing the segregation again in 2023!! Remember it was Lincoln who was Republican that freed the slaves! The Democratic Party is the party of EVIL!
@@sqlcomp Lincoln would not have been a Republican by todays standards. All you conservatives seem to forget that the parties had a major flip when LBJ signed the civil rights act into law in the 60s. Many democrats flipped over night to the Republican Party which was the beginning of the GOP. Lincoln is not at all associated with the Grand Ole Party, read a history textbook. Lincoln was a liberal Republican.
@@sqlcomp Completely not true. I'm a history major and anyone with critical thinking skills knows this.
@THE REAL TYREE SNEED that's a good point. Thanks for the insight.
@@sqlcomp hahahaha
The 2018 remake featuring Christopher Lambert was so fake. I prefer this movie much more.
What a sad storyline... truly freedom doesn't come easy.

I am watching this movie the 10th time now and every time I get emotional
Me too
Ojciec mojego kolegi przeżył obóz, bo grał na skrzypcach w takiej orkiestrze, która witała transporty. Wiedział że idą do gazu te wszystkie transporty. Opowiadał o swoim życiu w obozie. Powiedział że chęć przeżycia jest tak wielka, gdy wkoło sama śmierć, że człowiek na wszystko przystanie, aby przeżyć.
Thanks to anyone, who uploaded this video! I was hunting for it for years! Just wanted to see how Rutger would portray Russian officer. Ad I’m Russian too. And he did it brilliantly as usual!
Thank You For Sharing and Upload ❤😮🍀
1:15:34 *Rutger h. The best actor ever! And never will be such actor again!!!!!!!!!!*
He was brilliant wasn't he. There will be others eventually though I'm sure. Other generations.... I hope anyway...
Flexed on those Nazi officers 💪in that scene.
I love how clear this video is
I've seen that some other channels uploaded this movie in 360 or 480p and thought to myself that it deserves Full HD.
Look at the costume design at 55:40. The Dutch Jews that are arriving in Sobibor could perfectly pass as Dutch. They did some serious research before shooting this film.
Yes I agree, Blehr. Well done costuming.
Not really 500 escaped and only 60 survived the war. The film says 600 escaped and 300 survived.
I'm one of the women coming off the train😊, as an extra. It was filmed in Serbia, in the woods near Belgrade. There was a wardrobe where we got fitted in complete outfits. Attention to detail was amazing, I was impressed with the crew. I watched this movie on my old phone and quality is so much better now on my Iphone so I'll rewatch it to see if I can recognize myself in that crowd coming off train and in some other scenes. I recognized myself before only in the group dancing scene in camp at 56:59 when girls dance. We praticed that dance for ten days before the shooting night. We were told it was Dutch folk dance. I was chosen with other girls because we had folk dancing experience. We were fitted in loose clothes to show we lost weight from malnutrition in camp. 😢 Since you like era clothes, I got suspenders that Rutger Hauer wore, I told him I often wear suspenders but never had that type with leather that buttons up to pants so he gifted me two pairs that I wore for years. I didn't know who he is, he introduced himself but I knew only that he has a big role. I wish I took pic with him but I rarely took pics... Anyway, this was an interesting experience and my summer job, to be an extra in movies and TV shows. 😁 I loved seeing how movies are made. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk 😂🎉❤
@@Sandrica011BGHej, možeš li u komentaru poslati google earth lokaciju gde je bio napravljen set za ovaj film? Sada sam ga prvi put pogledao i skontao da je snimljen kod nas čim sam prepoznao Mišu Janketića, Irfana Mensura, Predraga Milinkovića i Svetislava Goncića. Piše na Wikipediji da je negde na Avali. Kontam da je bar set stanice negde pored pruge. Jel sve bilo na jednom mestu?
Brilliant but at the same time horrible...so glad Vagner finally got his... well done Shlomo
Watching on 14 OCT, as I often do.
?
Thanks for bring it up to remind people of the brutality
I was supposed to watch this back in April 18, 2008. In middle school 😮 I am now 30 years old and finally watching it.....I even found my old permission slip.
Just found out about it today. I'm also e
30 🇿🇦
Excellent thanks for the oppertunity to watch this
At around 1:31:00 there is a very subtle scene. Another trainload of prisoners is brutally whippe out of the train car, they don't even pretend that it's a nice place to be anymore, like at the beginning of the movie, and they show a young woman looking around worried wearing a wool beret and a plaid jacket, then the scene cuts to the sorting room and the sorter is picking up a plaid jacket ...
Good spot. So devastating.
A reminder of what human beings are capable of creating A warning from history so 😥
And the descendants of those killed here are doing more than that in Gaza today.
As you escaped captivity then Palestine will be Free from river to the sea
This was difficult to watch. Imagine living it?
sad
Excellent move. Rutger Hauer was superb.
Ive watched this many times.its a good movie.
I remember seeing this movie like 20 years ago I saw it once I don't think I could ever watch it again
