    The Jews of Warsaw were shipped to the extermination camp Treblinka II. But a plucky band of Polish army officers, doctors and Jewish slave labourers decided to launch an uprising in 1943 and escape from certain death at the hands of the SS.

He paused a moment and then said, "Anything you can imagine happened in the war"... he had tears in his eyes when he said it over 40 years after the end of the war. He was involved in the liberation of a concentration camp. Sadly, I don't know which one.

      As George Orwell said at the outbreak of WW2, 'pacifism is objectively pro-facist'. By that he meant that anyone refusing to fight on principle was inadvertently aiding the Nazi war effort. Of course we should always aim to settle things peaceably, but sometimes humanity just has to unite in order to destroy its worst creations by force.

    The film "Shoah", by the French director Claude Lanzmann, contains an interview with one of the Treblinka SS guards, Franz Schomel. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Suchomel. He agreed to be interviewed in the 1960s, provided it was not recorded, after he served four years for his role in exterminating 700,000 people at Treblinka. Lanzmann surreptitiously filmed the interview. In it Suchomel sings the Treblinka camp song, and then comments, with a smirk, "No Jew knows that song." I thought I had a good grasp of the Holocaust and World War II history, having studied it at university. But each one of your videos gives new details that greatly vivify the story with a unique perspective.

    When you consider the number of people killed there, the number of those who survived as a percentage of those who arrived, and the relatively short period the camp functioned as an extermination center; I believe it can be fairly argued that Treblinka was the most lethal piece of real estate in the entirety of the Second World War.

    I sometimes pause the videos and type out my little observations...about some trivial point of militaria, weapons, or tactics from my experience...Then I un-pause, listen, and start to get a partial sense, maybe, of the absolute gravity of the situations that Mark is describing. These last few videos have struck me hard, the Warsaw uprising and the resistance in the camps...the hopeless struggle and the struggle against hopelessness. This is history that I've read and studied for over 40 years now. But sometimes in the analysis of the campaigns, discussing the specifications of equipment, and debating the decisions of the commanders, I perhaps almost forget this part for a while....These Nazi bastards....This is what institutionalized racism looks like...Never again, people, never again.
