History is repeating itself, and you say "never forget".
Hear, hear. It absolutely is repeating itself.
Exactly. Shameful
Yes it is I've seen it with my own eyes
We say "never forget". But we think, " I can do this again, but differently, and the outcome will be better". We fail to forget, when we repeat history, there are no "better" or "different" outcomes. It always ends the same.
@@jamesgoodman807 Well said.
This isn't about punishing the 90-year-old for what he did when he was 20. Pretty sure he isn't going to do it again. It's about deterring others from doing the same thing.
I think a film should be made entitled,"And They Continued to Live" based on post- WWII German military and civilian survivors.
What's troublesome to me about all of this is the reason Oskar Groning went public in that 2005 BBC interview in the first place. He went public to refute Holocaust deniers. He gave his statement to the BBC after being assured he wouldn't be held liable for his comments based on the German laws in place at the time.
This was one of the few Nazi guards who stepped forward to say, yes, this eradication program was real. He witnessed it. He denounced Nazism. He talked about the extreme mental toll everyone who worked in the camps experienced. Suicides, overdoses, and alcoholism was through the roof among SS personnel in the camps. He tried to do what he thought was right at the time to refute the Holocaust deniers.
Only to have the German govt change the laws & legal precedents they have on National Socialist crimes just 4 years later and make an example of this old man?
I don't agree with it. I don't like it one bit. That isn't justice either. That's just dishonest legalese propelled by an angry lynch mob who wasn't even there to witness anything themselves.
How can anyone know what was in Gronings heart during the crimes? He may have been totally against it all,but just didn't want shot. Understandably.
@@stevewheatley243No one got shot for not being a concentration camp guard. Unless you count being shot by a Russian on the Eastern front where you would likely be sent.
@youtube have you no shame to interrupt this documentary every five minutes with frivolous ads?
I wonder who owns youtube
TH-cam have shame? Ha!
@davidleonard1813 it's Google
@cal4207 so right you are. The 2 founders sold it off, but control the majority votes within the shareholders. Both these guys share something in common. I already knew the similarity and thought: oh how ironic😆. Google and Wiki them up if you're curious.
@@davidleonard1813. Google owns YT, and monetized absolutely everything, included the voices of those using Google and Google-powered devices. Get smart sharpish.
Thousands were let go at the time, and others escaped. What of the death squads, camps guards and many others. Nuremberg was limited or the trials would have gone on for years. This man wanted to tell the truth so history would not be forgotten.
Thanks for the video. Such materials should always be public
Everyone who is complaining about the adds, it’s not TH-cam’s fault it’s the person that uploaded its fault, they are the ones that decide how many adds a video has - they are the one trying to make money from it. (From someone who use to earn money on TH-cam)
Why wasn’t this man put in trial sooner? Too late for justice.
My opinion is pretty biased but I genuinely believe it’s because the German police were afraid of the optics of them arresting refugees so they found this old man and more or less sacrificed him to show they still aren’t nazis.
the video spends 45 minutes explaining why he wasn't tried sooner.
I wrote this as an exasperation, not a question. German law was designed to protect the perpetrators not the victims.
@@Richard-zd8pg. Seems like that’s always the way.
The very worst crime against humanity .
The very best documentary on TH-cam.
*Edit- not related to this subject but i have Erich Kempkas mother of pearl cut throat razor still in its cardboard sleeve. Retrieved by my Grandad in Berlin May 1945. Kempka was Hitlers driver*
Wow that's something
Difficult to know hiw to feel about that.
Still after all this time.
God Bless your family , especially yor Grand- father and greetings from the UK 🇬🇧

Difficult one really, it's a Nazi souvenir. Its not something I put on display. It's more a memory of my Grandad who died when I was 8 yrs old.
BTW, I'm from the UK originally..
Check out: David Irving: Historical view to the Nuremberg trials (here on YT)
Watching this in 2024 is quite something.
How many train engineers were prosecuted? They knowingly drove the trains to the death camps no?
The deniers needed to be allowed in the courtroom to hear the defendant speak. Would they still deny.
They dont think rationally unfortunately
No different to the current followers of Donald Trump, evil people
Wouldn't they just say that he was such a poor witness that he wasn't credible?
A woman forgives, and those bitter people who can not forgive call her mentally unstable. What good does it do to convict a mere accountant? All the big fish have escaped.
Where's the forgiving women? I've never known any.
Seeing his grandfather at a family gathering is disheartening
Thank you for sharing.
Why is it that Germany still understands the importance of treating holocaust denial as a crime better than the USA?
Good people in the USA understand the demonic evilness of the Holocaust. Uneducated and the Evil people of the world don't understand.
The U.S. knows about all the old soldiers in Brazil. Argentina.
Part of it is that, as horrible as the speech that US Nazi supporters spew is, most of it is protected by the 1st amendment of our constitution. The laws in Germany are simply different than those in the US. Just like the US, the law does not protect ALL speech. In Germany, there are specific laws prohibiting Nazi propaganda. I am not sure if it is still this way, but back when the video game Wolfenstein came out, the Nazi flag was not allowed to be shown in the game (I believe is is only allowed to be displayed in historical references such as history books or museums).
Additionally, Germans teach about WW2 and the Holocaust very differently than the US does. I am not a German citizen, but I have watched several documentaries about how they teach about the holocaust there and it is seems like they places more emphasis on moral education, encouraging students to reflect on the moral implications of historical events and the importance of
standing up against injustice. I have even seen videos showing the students doing a sort of "role-playing" exercises which helps promote empathy, compassion, and understanding for what the different groups went through. I seem to remember something similar being tried in a US class not long ago and the parents all complained and there was a lot of outrage over it. I don't know much about that event, but from what I understand, in Germany the exercises are designed to be respectful and sensitive to the experiences of those who lived through the events.
The constitution of the US was always intended to be updated over time, however this hasn't happened in over 32 years, which is amazing since the way technology has changed the world over the last 32 years has been massive. Our constitution still to this day does not consider men and women as equals. It wasn't until 1920 that women gained the right to vote. Our original constitution considered a black individual as 3/5 a human. The 14th Amendment (1870) further clarified that citizenship and equal protection under the law applied to all individuals, regardless of race. Many people don't know this, but black men in the US gained the right to vote before white women. Needless to say, our constitution is flawed in many ways yet our political leaders do little to try and rectify that.
That's absurd and untrue. You are terribly misinformed.
Because in America u have the right to belive and say whatever u like regardless if it's dumb or not as long as ur not infringing on someone else's rights u can hate whomever or love whomever or just plain don't give a crap
Those goons in Virginia have absolutely no idea what it is they are blurting about, they just want to make noise. Empty barrels make the most noise.
All the staff of the death camps knew what was happening.
People talk, to their families, to their friends, to their colleagues.
Especially when under stress.
They all knew.
How could they not know. When you receive train loads of Jews, half of them sent in a certain direction and never seen again. They all knew the murders were taking place. All of them.
it wasn't well into 1942 whispers here and there started in germany regarding large camps. before that tales had been told by army and SS personnel on leave of einsatzgruppen, round-ups and deportations, slaughters.
yes, they all knew.
I believe that this man, Oskar Groning, at the end of his life tried to do what he could and was well prepared to be an example of indisputable testimony in the face of sickening Holocaust deniers everywhere - he did the only thing he could and for at least that, he deserves a measure of recognition for trying to do the right thing finally.
Forgiveness belongs to the person who gives it to choose whether they feel like they want to give it, it is an individual thing and should therefore not be criticised by those who choose not to give it. Each person's business is their own entirely when it comes to the matter of forgiveness.
I read the page on this man on Google.
What a fools waste of time to try jail him in his nineties.
And that a man who had rehabilitated himself long before.
They let the skunks go and pounce on a scapegoat.
The very conviction or our agreement to this says EVERYTHING about our haughty, lordly, and unforgiving hypocrisy!
Forgiveness is not real. It’s a religious construct designed to control people, not just their actions but their thoughts. People need time to work through their hurts, no amount of so called ‘forgiveness’ can affect that process. The absurdity of the righteous and the religious. 😅
@@user-fq8rs7rz3i that's absurd...!!! Forgiveness is FAR from "a religious construct" and it IS VERY REAL...!!! Plenty of non religious people believe in forgiveness - but sure what the heck; you feel free to wallow in your own self imposed pit of hatred and indignation about how and what others choose to believe or not believe - NONE OF WHICH IS ANY OF YOUR BUSINESS REGARDLESS....!!!! 🙄🤦
Numbers don't add up.
You are right! 👍
Yes we will never forget, the problem is those that do not care.
The decision to prosecute him at that age was wrong. I say that, because they would never have heard of Oskar Groning, if it wasn't for him deciding to start talking about his experiences at Auschwitz. The reason he decided to start talking about them, was because he heard people stating that the holocaust never happened. That there were no gas chambers at Auschwitz. He had of course been there. So he took the step that extremely few members of the SS who worked in the concentration camps took. That is to openly talk of their experiences there. He should have been commended for this decision, to counter the words of the deniers. Instead, they went after him. Even though there is proof that he didn't want to work in the camp, and had put in for a transfer to the front. Which was denied. I find this disgusting.
He didn't kill anyone personally. He didn't want to be there. He put in for a transfer. People didn't volunteer to work in the extermination camps. You were sent there, under orders. Sure, some of them turned into complete monsters when they got there. These people should have been tried for their crimes. Admin clerks should not have.
Yeah, right, OK, sure...enjoy your delusions.
Yeah so if you murder someone and get away with it for many years - you shouldn't be then prosecuted if you then come out and say "Hang on I killed that person, don't say they weren't murdered because I will tell you about my reasoning". This is pretty much what you are saying... his age has nothing to do with it... plenty of people that age were taken to that camp and instantly murdered.
He admitted he took part in selection duty at the train ramp.. An absolute admission of guilt for crimes against humanity - At the time Oskar came forward, there was no law in Germany to prosecute suspected Nazis for being an accessory to the Holocaust without any proof of personal responsibility for crimes committed. That came after the Demjanjuk trial. Oskar may have never come forward if he had known this could lead to his prosecution (years later).
It’s a difficult topic - I partly agree with the sentiment that prosecuting him after he voluntarily came forward and spoke about his experiences to silence holocaust deniers is difficult. Without such insights we will never truly learn what moves people to do or be part of unthinkable atrocities. To simply brand them as pure evil is too easy and creates a them and us mentality rather than an understanding that under certain circumstances a lot of people may be susceptible to similar powers of persuasion and become instrumentalists to commit atrocities. Without people like Oskar Gröning openly talking about his motives we will not learn and be able to truly prevent history repeating itself. As for his guilt - this is where things become more difficult. Being a part of this machinery and taking part in selections makes him an accomplice which should be punished - his guilt needs to be considered within the context of his situation - to what extent was he brainwashed by propaganda, under duress by orders, etc I don’t agree with people hiding behind orders but that also means they have a degree of freedom to make choices and this freedom became less and less as the war went on due to the fanaticism of many people issuing the orders and death sentences for not following orders. He needs to be held accountable for his actions - no matter what age he is but we need to be careful to not make people like him a stand in for all atrocities committed.
If I had worked at a death camp at the most menial job, I would have been guilty of murder
"He didnt want to be there". He was there. He wanted to be there. He knew he was taking part in a death camp. He was sure that Germany was going to triumph, so it would not matter.
Fact is the whole German nation was guilty. They listened to Hitler make these rants about the Jews since the 30s. They all went to elementary schools where they were taught that significant portions of their own population were basically less than animals. All they had to do is look at a thousand years of German history to know what was going to happen. Yet when the elections came, basically everyone voted for Hitler. In Austria when the election came, 95% voted for Hitler
Sadly, even the Mennonites of Germany enthusiastically supported Hitler. When you see something like that, you realize that all is lost, and the nation has fallen into the abyss
We all can SO easily be led like lambs to the slaughter.

A very sad chapter of history .
Ghengis Khan killed more people
It's being repeated on college campuses today where so called protesters are actively promoting the extermination of the Jews. This evil is still alive and well. The term "From the river to the Sea" means the extermination of the Jews. From the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. Our youth have been indoctrinated in the same evil as what happened in Nazi Germany.
They were all guilty as sin , all complicit and they all knew what they were doing
His judgment will come not by this world but the hereafter. For the sins we commit so shall we be judged by a higher authority.
Bullshit, your divinity seems to give a damn about the suffering in this life therefore, what a merciful deity!

@@DrGarri The suffering in this life is solely due to the evil's of our species.
We have a choice to be good or evil no matter what ideology you belive in
@@DrGarri The suffering, as you say, is solely attributed to that of our own species, who have proven that there is little in our species worth saving.
Well said.
7:41 the things this man says about not learning about the war as a child seems to contradict what I learned about Denazification. It would be highly unlikely for someone who went to school in post-war Germany to have avoided learning about World War II and the Holocaust. After the war, the Allied powers implemented a comprehensive re-education program in Germany. This included the inclusion of the causes and consequences of totalitarianism in school curricula and a policy of ensuring that the Nazi period remained firmly in the German collective memory
If he lived in the East Germany, then indeed there was no such thing as denazification. And probably school programs were quite different from the West
If only they had instituted the same program in school curricula in Japan.
Is it not a travesty of justice to bring back upon the men of Germany, the consequences of their evils,......... BUT NOT the females, who were just as much an intricate part of the NAZI HOLOCAUST
He was referring to not learning in school about WWI, not WWII. Since he worked in a concentration camp during WWII, he would not normally have been in school after WWII.
A very well done documentary. It heightens the belief that the moral and legal questions raised are, basically, unanswerable. There are almost unlimited nuances to each person's culpability, there is no "one size fits all" definition. We can agree that such horrors that were brought to life under the Nazis should indeed happen "never again", but the sad reality of human existence is that they have before, they have since, and they will again in the future. That is our nature, that is what we are. That isn't a particularly inspiring thought, as realistic as it might be.
Excellent documentary.
His conviction is not punitive. It’s to record the history correctly- to die named as the man who helped murder 300,000 people.
He doesn’t deserve to die without his name tied to his actions.
I remember Eva Kor, she courageous plead for justice but also for forgiveness During the Oscar Groning trial she embraced him. Nowadays I am sad reading about war in Ukrain and western businessman still try to trade with Russia and supporting the war economy causing many victims. according to me these are war criminals too
🔴 Unfortunately and truly sadly, his idea/believe regarding the blood of the poor little children, is absolutely nonsense! In other words, if someone takes children (new borns) from example France and Germany and switch them, when they grow older, they won't even be aware that they are of another country (blood, in context). So sadly, millions of poor children (babies), were killed absolutely for nothing!!! 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Meanwhile, across the world, hundreds of thousands of infants in the womb are being deliberately killed each year . . .
In the cruelest twist of irony, this man would've met the same fate as the prisoners he guarded had he not volunteered to work at Sobibor......
How come the perpetrators of the genocides that followed WWII were not executed?
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Anything asserted without evidence can be dismissed the same way.
“To date, the Prosecutor has opened investigations in fourteen situations: Afghanistan; Burundi; two in the Central African Republic; Côte d'Ivoire; Darfur, Sudan; the Democratic Republic of the Congo; Georgia; Kenya; Libya; Mali; Uganda; Bangladesh/Myanmar, Palestine and Venezuela.[163][164] Additionally, the Office of the Prosecutor is conducting preliminary examinations in six situations: Colombia; Guinea; Nigeria; the Philippines; Ukraine and Bolivia.[165]
The Court's Pre-Trial Chambers have publicly indicted 54 people. Proceedings against 22 are ongoing: 17 are at large as fugitives and five are on trial. Proceedings against 32 have been completed: two are serving sentences, seven have finished sentences, four have been acquitted, seven have had the charges against them dismissed, four have had the charges against them withdrawn, and eight have died before the conclusion of the proceedings against them.”
Google ‘International Criminal Court’
Too many commercials!
Don't be so cheap!
Never understood why they charge him so late ? Have seen this man tell his story since the 90s .. anyone?
German corts were all old nazi's. So they looking the other way.
At the time Oskar came forward, there was no law in Germany to prosecute suspected Nazis for being an accessory to the Holocaust without any proof of personal responsibly for crimes committed. That came after the Demjanjuk trial. Oskar may have never come forward if he had known this could lead to his prosecution (years later).
He was charged for the simple fact of his being alive. What will they do when there's no one left alive who was born before 8 May 1945?
For a clue: there are more holocaused suhvivahs now than there were 20 years' ago.
the video spends 45 minutes explaining why he wasn't tried sooner.
Heartbreaking...
So horrible. I could not study this in history when I was in high school. I am 62 yo and now can study the horrible history and I feel so ashamed that I couldn't study it in my teens ...but so many that age had to actually go through this! I will always from now on fight against these horrible actions!
@tammynelson7459 Why couldn't you study this in school? What country are you in?
Thought provoking, well-balanced and presented. Unfortunately as a world, we cannot always reach a verdict. As human beings, all we can do is manage our own motivations. True justice, sadly is unattainable. It doesn't really exist.
And Mercy ?!?
@@markminter3960 Mercy fortunately does. One of the higher of human graces. Attainable, practicable and measurable. However TRUE justice sadly, is unrealistic.
However if you have ever seen The Grey Zone then I recommend you hear the final comment during the execution of the Sonderkommando who are being executed. One says to another that it doesn't matter because they did something by knocking off a few SS and destroying a crematorium.
Surely this is some form of justice. It didn't matter that they were shot as men who weren't free but they got their justice in their own small way. Beautiful acting and dialogue based on a real event. That's justice surely?
excellent documentary.. It should be shown in schools. Maybe then the youth will learn something.
Their parents should watch too.
Yes exactly, instead of all this futile woke shit.
Derschowitz would let this happen under Drumpf if he wins again
What's the name of that song at the beginning
Superb documentary, well researched and with excellent narration.
Tom Bower's books, "Blind Eye to Murder" [post-war cover-up of widespread, generalised atrocities in Europe, done mostly by Nazis] and another, "Paperclip Conspiracy",
examined selection of those guilty of war crimes but not prosecuted, being deemed useful to the USA.
If you wear a hat with a skull and bones on it, you know you're there for dealths and destruction. You know you are guilty.

“Vengeance is not our goal, nor do we seek merely a just retribution. We ask this court to affirm by international penal action, man’s right to live in peace and dignity, regardless of his race or creed. The case we present is a plea of humanity to law.”- Benjamin Ferencz, Opening Statement before the Nuremberg Military Tribunal, 1947. Justice has been served, many times on the people involved, wrote about for the world to know from every angle. To go after old men today is no longer in the interest of justice but is solely in the interest of vengeance.
The germans knew what was happening since the beginning.
To interrupt a documentary of this seriousness with advertisements....something way wrong with that. Shame on you, You Tube.
Why do you think you get to watch stuff on TH-cam free, you dolt.
It's all about the 💰 money John.
The verdict sets a legal precedent that allows for the Statute of Limitations on murder, mass murder, etc...to never run out. Legally this is a good thing. Unfortunately, justice turns slowly and unfairly in many cases.
God Bless all the innocent souls who were murdered then and Now
Okay, if they were prosecuted earlier, when they were still young it would have been better, but now that they are old, they are still equally guilty of all the harm they have done. Therefore, they must be judged anyway!!!
GOD will be their FINAL judge ...
@@thecatcameback3921 Theologically yes.
Of course, but he’s already lived his life. Where’s the real justice?
When successfull people succeed they dont want anyone else to succeed them.
Ironically Dershowitz does not sing the same tune when discussing Drumpf. Derschowitz is despicable
He is compromised.
They are the child survivor of this auschwitz. The terror they feel during parents, siblings, aunts and uncles are killed. How can they have justice since generations are handling the case. If we are in their situation, we dont even know what we can feel i hope they hqve justice for every pain they carry with them 😢😢😢 love to survivors it hurts me hearing their stories its awful hurts the entire them as a person.
I was completely shocked, and disheartened, by the statistics in this documentary. Most of the Nazi murderers were tried but served 3 or 4 years of prison time! This is only the few that were, actually, tried and found guilty. Germany has a lot of soul searching to do with itself. That is one issue I have with European countries, they do not seem to prosecute criminals. They just seem to give them light sentences, no death penalty either. I am sure people will disagree with my American way of thinking, but I do not regret posting my views on this.
Not most, by any means. Less than 1 in 8
America wrote the history of WW2.
Meanwhile Von Brain is celebrated
The Nuremberg trials should have been initiated by judges from United Kingdom, United States and France.
You forget Russia
@@renebobtail296 Yes indeed. 👍🇷🇺
Yes he was guilty evern after all of them years later.he had blood on his hands still
“Out out damn spot”
They knew what they were doing. They followed orders, and looked away. Today, people still think it didn't happen. Today, people want to revisit it again upon those not like them. #neverforget
Today the IDF is just "following orders," too.
Say those Who a century before had slaughtered 20 milions of american native exactly the same way!
The idea that Alan is sitting there talking about atrocities when he literally is responsible for letting a double murderer escape justice is rich.
Unbelievable how these monsters got
Away with what they did.
How a Nation let this happen shocking
What were the Soviet gulags like?
Porque no lo traducen?? Me encanta el programa pero no sé dominar el idioma y creo que a muchos le pasa
More an exhibition of reminiscence (a place for that in popular culture) than an a presentation in actual historicity.
I remember watching the BBC with Groening saying that he came out of the shadow of anonymity to confront Holocaust deniers. I thought that that was brave of him.
Germany had failed in the past to put minor players such as him on trial in the past and now it's too little too late.
He was a small cog but he was definitely an accessory to mass murder. Apparently he cleared away suitcases and belongings of previous arrivals in order to deceive the people on the next train. The new arrivals, many photos show and survivors testimony gives us a clear picture that to the new arrivals at Birkenau that it was intimidating and frightening. The wise and astute among them knew what was going on but the Camp staff attempted to keep up some kind of deception and Groening admitted to taking part in that.
He could've be also charged with the administration of loot and plunder. He was also nearly caught by the SS for corruption.
In his defense. He asked twice for transfer and this was granted the second time. I believe that he did feel personal guilt for his part in the machinery of mass murder.
May God bless Eva Corr. What a brave, dignified, extraordinary lady she was.
... Groning never said he was sorry ... because he WASN'T ... he would without a seconds hesitation do the very same things again and of course he would have dashed the babies head against the wall ... not a smidgen of humanity or remorse in the man
Oh gawd. Did you even watch this documentary? Or more importantly, did you even understand the sequence of events?
Yeah. It's a damned shame that the Germans didn't like the war crimes trials.
I wonder if these same people asked the Jews or Gypsies how they felt about how the Germans treated them. I'm gonna guess not.
be ever aware of false prophets, because every age has an easy answer, which is almost always wrong
I still cannot comprehend how there are people walking around that don't believe it happened, I have seen the camps and its heartbreaking I watched his interview some years ago and he came across arrogant, doing his job.
hope now he is roasting in hell.
11:36 Wait. This is the behaviour you would expect from the fascists. No freedom of speech? 34:50 WOW
51:50 - the prick saying garrison responsible for the slave labour end of things could not have known about the extermination "sections" of the camp. pardon me but bull$h1t! those at the camp knew exactly what happened and at the time, too. spare me that argument. of course the boys shot the breeze in the barracks, and units as small as 5-man squads would have been routinely assigned tasks all over the camp to rotate "employees" throughout the entire establishment. it was operated as a business by the look of the evidence and the testimony (face it, auschwitz had accountants for a reason...).
this one's argument that groning "could not have known of the exterminations... he worked in a whole different sub-system - slave labour" is so contrived it hurts. scraping the bottom of the critical thinking septic tank, frankly, and it just doesn't wash.
Hundreds of Red Cross workers were in and out of birkenau daily.
Matt.5:7
Happy are the merciful, since they will be shown mercy.
If that Lady WANTS to extend genuine mercy, and forgive Groneng...........why judge??????
That is a decision between her, her Creator and the criminal who was part of the Nazis machinery
I think l understand her forgiveness..it was ethier that or insanity..lt's impossible to imagine / accept what humans had done to other humans for no reason...The only thing left is forgiveness or one would become insane, themselves 😢
From what I can gather, this man Gruning was not an accountant at all. He was eather a baggage-checker chrged with the "duty" of going through the luggagee of the victims and removing whatever valuables he found there. These valuables would then used either to reward the camp guards or sent to some sort of Nazi headquarters benefit the "Reich." Nothing to do with accounting. This guy seems to have had no training or experience as an account. He was a low-level manual laborer. Probably there was an accountant who worked at Auchwitz. But this jerk wasn't him.
Benjamin Ferencz is a superheroe..
Good on that lady being able to forgive. Regardless of weather these monsters were executed or walked free, they're going to have to answer to God on the other side, and I would very much not want to be them when they find out God's son just so happens to be Jewish.
De la muerte no se escapa nadie sea joven o mayor. ❤😅😊
00:32 looks like Dr Fritz Klein on the far left!
What I cannot fathom is how many Germans running the camp saw exactly what was happening and were cool with it!
I’d like to know how the Ss were treated if they spoke up, there would have been 100s they probably became victims too!
They were hate filled stone cold killers
Hundreds of Red Cross volunteers made visits to the camps.
He will be judged by a higher court...
Wtf. How am I hearing this for the first time?
You're kidding right?
@carolcortez8716 i didnt know that these criminals git such light sentences.. not the Holocaust in general
Those he killed are still dead so why can't he be still guilty.
Suddenly, like poison toadstools, these "atrocity" stories are popping up overnight. Most likely they are to compensate for the bad publicy of the events in Gaza. We should hope for some videos of the horrible war crimes committed by our allies, the Soviets!
Documentaries like this are all over TH-cam and have been since the beginning of TH-cam. Signed a history buff
Been in krakow then went to this camp
So is Alan complicit by defending that impeachment?
Why did it take so long to put him up on trail?
Watch the documentary!
1:11:00 yes you are making the same thing again in Gaza
Nonsense
Terrible things are happening in Ghasa ,i am not from Israel and i am not a Jew , even very terrible but Hamas is not totally innocent and let us keep one thing at its place. The Holocaust killed over 6 million men woman and innocent children of no other reason then that they were European Jews, 1,5 million of these were children. In Auschwitz 1,1 million were killed .Treblinka which was the second biggest death camp over 970 thousand were killed . The Nazis did not only kill Jews ca 5 million people including 3 million soldiers from the Red Army Slaves as they looked on as inferior humans Romans and other groups. Poland lost 6 million people in the WW2, a fifth of their population 5,6 million were civilian.
Sadly yes. They themselves are doing the same thing today
I didn't agree with the prosecution of Oskar Grinig. In the 1960s he was investigated and it was decided that he was not to be prosecuted as at the time the he couldn't be under the law. He then openly and frankly discussed what happened at Auschwitz Birkenau. He was a valuable and irreplaceable resource, then 30 years later a new law is introduced and made retroactive which is highly unusual because to be convicted you need a guilty mind committing a guilty action, making it criminal afterwards removes the person's choice.
I have been to Auschwitz and condemn antisemitism in any and manifestations. Since October 7th the rise of antisemitism is disgusting and Hamas needs to be eradicated. Trying a 90 year old has had absolutely no impact on the behaviour of those who hate Jews. It made the state look petty and assured that in the future anyone on the wrong side will never give full and frank testimony for history no matter how much or often they are assured they will not be prosecuted.
one of those guys was my neighbor
You can forgive anyone but it doesn't mean they don't have to suffer the consequences of there actions no matter how apologetic someone is cuz most of the people that caught committing horrible crimes become extremely apologetic when standing in front the judge with your life or freedom in his hands b, so now it's become a tactic for people to say I'm sorry yes I did it to get some Mercy from the judge they aren't sorry for actions so it's hard to tell for sure how someone feels about things they did in the past they aren't sorry before they get caught and arrested standing in front of a judge
NO FORGIVNESS!!!! EVER!!!!
No forgivness for crimes committed by Judeobolsheviks.
First repentance, then forgiveness.
They neatly hanged the wrong man. That is scary
Forgiveness was her choice and she let herself out of her jail of hate of the evil that was Auschwitz and those who participated...If Jesus could go to the cross and forgive those who put nails though his hands, and told us to forgive, as hard as that is, we have to find a way otherwise our Heavenly Father will NOT forgive us.
I'm really sorry but I can't watch this, even though I'm really interested, as its in German.
Surely neurologists can learn from the MRI of his brain as to what kept him going on in life when thousands died because of him & his kind> when nowadays Normal successful people choose to have an ' assisted dying' death actually paying to die,or even suicide> is this the difference types of narcissistic traits
Should never have been tried in Germany
Eva Moses-Kor, a Jewish survivor of Mengele, chose to forgive. Jesus tells us to forgive. Only God has mastered forgiveness, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try.
We can only consider forgiveness for those who repent. These are unrepentant Nazis. No forgiveness should be offered to unrepentant murderers.
@@Moshe_Dayan44You are correct. Genuine Repentance is necessary for forgiveness. Furthermore, there ARE things that are unforgivable. What the Nazis did to the Jews was unforgivable. There's no amount of saying sorry that can make up for what they did.
Deliberate cruelty can NEVER BE FORGIVEN - EVER!
There is no God. And Jesus is dead. And he's gonna stay dead.
