There are government trends around the world including here in the US and Australia to erase history whether in the form of statues or artifacts. If young people have no historical reference then they are more likely to accept despotism or even genocide. And I think that's their hope.
Legitimately, a chill ran down my spine when he opened the book. Holy moly. This is a disturbing and yet moving episode when you think about everything that happened during the World War II era to Jewish people. Powerful and important.
What was actually disturbing is what happened to the German people. They were the true victims of that war. Lets not forget that war was declared AGAINST Germany first.
@choossuck7653 what's disturbing is you, with your fake history lesson, you didn't mention Czechoslovakia or Poland invaded by your nazi friends and the already victimisation of german Jews and the already murdered mentally ill in the T4 program...I feel sorry for people like you
My father brought back a star with the word "Juif" on it. He and my mother donated it before they died. In the late '80s, I was acquainted with a rabbi that ran a Holocaust museum and research center in St. Louis, MO. I asked him how my father may have obtained the star and he told me that, as the war was ending and the Germans were being pushed back, people simply tore them off, threw them away, and they were lying around everywhere.
I feel the same about both of my grandfathers. One was in France, and the other in the Pacific theatre. They both passed before I turned 15. As a 40yo woman now, I have a million questions.
That doll is creepy. Can’t imagine having that in my house starring at me. Thank you for sharing this unboxing. The stars were sad knowing were they come from has to break your heart. 😢
That doll was made by someone on the side that you think is good. Just another propaganda lie. Do you know that we are still dealing with propaganda from that war?
Everyday we get further away from those dark days of human history and yet, when you see items like this it's as though it all happened yesterday. It's a chilling reminder to never let that darkness descend again upon mankind.
I felt a chill and my breath caught when he opened the book. I cannot imagine the feeling of holding something that evil being touched. God bless you both for sharing your knowledge with us.
Makes me sad but I agree that it is imperitive that we keep this history alive & shown to be rememberred. The victimes deserve to be recognoized and we need to keep it from happening again. Thank you both for your continued work.
Very interesting. Studying these kind of artifacts gives you a glimpse to those horrible and tragic times. All aspects of history should be studied, no matter how disturbing.
Thank you for sharing. I enjoy learning more of history whenever I can. Don't like the doll he is a bit much, I understand it was a toy but what it represents is madness. I have many family members that have fought in the war and some of the memories are just beyond words of what they saw. You have a great day
When I was maybe 8 years old I saw an old book sitting on our dining room table. I remember opening the cover and a signature, Adolf Hitler was written in pencil. At that age I didn’t know much about the Holocaust. When I was in my 20s my dad and I were talking about WWII. He mentioned he had a friend who was in the military and brought home items from the war. This friend had recently died and his wife asked my dad to take a look at some of his WWII items to see if any of it might be worth something. Long story short, my dad contacted a museum in DC who bought the book for their collection and my dad gave his friend’s wife all the money from it. He refused to take any money (the wife offered him a generous amount for helping her) but he declined. The BIG shock was the book had actually belonged to Himmler (museum researched and confirmed). My dad did keep a genuine Nazi flag (his friend gave it to him before he died) which has been in storage for years. I still can’t believe I touched something so historical and had no idea what it was.
In one episode, Erik was asked what his most important artifact is, and he mentioned that he has the only known sample of Hitler’s blood on a cloth. With all the advances in DNA, I can see that being a really important scientific ‘sample.’ Maybe the DNA analysis of it will discover something interesting in the future.
I grew up in York, PA, just down the road from Gettysburg. Although I visited the Gettysburg battlefield many times in my youth, I would now love to go back, this time just to visit the Gettysburg Museum of History. This TH-cam channel is so informative and well done, and I thank you for your contributions to our understanding of so much history.
I'd always wondered what would things be like for my family if my great great grandfather hadn't moved here. His name was Hinrich Friedrich Lührmann aka here in the U.S. as Henry Luderman. Lived just Northeast of Dusseldorf but moved to the U.S. in 1883. This was throguh my mother's dad's side.
So compelling and thought provoking. In Nurenberg my hubs and I made a point of going to Court Room 9 and viewing all the horrible photos and artefacts held there. It is solemn and necessary to go if able.
Seeing this is definitely on my bucket list. I know Ill be a bawling mess visiting Auschwitz, Dachau and other places, but visiting Nuremberg I hope will bring a sense and feeling if some justice. Did you feel that when you were there?
Thank you for always stating that you don't support or endorse the Nazi ideology. I never thought for a moment you did - but in this day and age it is important to remind people how horrific that ideology was/is. Also - I really enjoyed this video. I got a particular chill when the doll was revealed. Trying to imagine every giving my daughter or my very young grandchildren something like it. Couldn't - just couldn't. I love your channel. Thank you for all you do.
I saw some stars when I was at the museum during Gettysburg 160. I'm not sure when you filmed this, but Erik said they were new. Pretty chilling. The doll is super creepy, given what we know now
one day ill make it to gettysburg and get to see this wonderful museum in person,but for now ill just live it through JDs capable eyes and hands ,thanks for another great video JD and Eric
"Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it..." While some may see these as war trophies and token to glorify THE darkest and lowest point in the 20thC... I see these as tools and educational items to teach today's and tomorrow's Generations to, hopefully, prevent something like that from EVER happening again!!
@@GlasgowCeltic88 Europa, The Last Battle. You dont have to like it. You dont even have to believe it. Just watch it. Watch the whole thing. Would love for you to see some of the interviews with German soldiers. You aren't allowed to see those tho. Why dont they want you to see those interviews??? Who is they??? Im not against you. We are on the same team.
@@GlasgowCeltic88 here in America, we literally have modern day slavery going on in the great wide open. You want to know who benefits from this? Its the bankers. Now, there are bankers of all different creeds. However, they, like everyone else, have a ruling class. We know exactly who they are. We will take our world back.
I´ve handled a few of those Jewish stars and the blue and white striped clothes that many wore in the camps amongst other things. It is a truly bone chilling reminder and a sort of a reality check of sorts. We have all heard the stories. Heard the witnesses and the one´s who did the deeds. We have all seen the places where the atrocities happened, watched the movies and documentaries. Read the books. We think we understand, but still it´s hard to grasp. But when one sees or handles the real deal stuff like this it all becomes very real indeed. Very close, very personal. Yet so hard to believe all the evil. That doll though.... Great video as always.
Great video! My wife, daughter, and I just visited the museum as we were passing through this weekend. I was absolutely blown away seeing this stuff in person, the artifacts there were incredible. I didn't get to talk to Erik unfortunately while I was there but that's okay, I'll definitely be going back! Could you tell us more about the expansion Erik was talking about in the video?
I wonder what the person who was packaging that doll for shipment to the museum was thinking. That had to a be a "They don't pay me enough" moment for that person.
As a Dutchman it is kind of bizarre to see these symbols of evil displayed like valuable collectibles. Over here collecting this stuff is highly controversial and will raise questions about whether you're a nazi. I know there are collectors for this stuff over here as well. But you wouldn't see a video like this, casually displaying nazi memorabilia, on Dutch tv. I guess it's different in the US, because most of this stuff are war trophies brought back by GI's and you don't have the history of being occupied by the nazis and having your citizens brutally murdered in concentration camps. But it somehow still gives me the creeps.
I totally believe in saving history. I am a history fanatic especially with the Dakota uprising because I lost my grandfather in that war. What I don't believe in is the selling of these WWII products especially certain ones too civilians a museum is made to look at these historical pieces not purchase them. But again kudos to another great video love your videos. We're just living in a time right now in our own country where it's kind of scary and they say is history repeats itself. And skinheads scare the hell out of me and I'm a blond-haired blue-eyed All American girl
Too bad we'll never know the stories from the two people who wore those stars on their garments. Hopefully they survived and didn't suffer the same fate as millions of other Jewish people.
Those artifacts make a very powerful statement on a dark stretch of human history. Each has their own story to tell, but the pick of the litter (for me) was the signed copy of Mein Kampf.
Not to be trite or disrespectful (given the subject matter of these artefacts) but it must be a bit like Christmas every day for you guys at the GMOH ! Cheers Erik & JD - keep on educating us all 👍
Hi buddy, your Dutch is very well!!! The word Jood ( is indeed the dutch word for Jew), so the star is a dutch "jodenster" so you called perfect in Dutch! My compliments greetz from Tilburg ( Nederland)
Both of my grandfather's liberated camps. We still have lots of the memorabilia they took off Nazis. It was a pretty common thing back to take off the dead. I can't speak much on war crimes as I'm biased.
My grandpa was in the Navy in WW2 but I think more of the Pacific theatre... I wish I could have talked to him about some of that stuff but its a conversation he wasn't having
HOLY CRAP a signed copy of Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler? 😳 I see copies of this book every time I'm in Barnes and Noble, and get creepy feelings when just passing it on the shelf. And I agree with other comments, that that S.S doll is creepy, but also intriguing. It looks like it has a gun in its saluted hand? And to think that parents, and their children at that time were totally brain washed into thinking this was normal and ok, is sickening. It also makes me feel grateful and blessed to be alive today. 80 million people dead. A horrid World War because of one man's evil ideology. In J.Ds words, Holy Moly. It's mind blowing. Its hard to imagine what it was like for those poor people having to wear those stars, knowing their lives meant nothing is SO sad. This is REAL History, and just like you guys said, while it sickens us today, this is STILL History, and it is fascinstimg all at the same time. I love your videos, keep 'em coming!!!
In Australia: From the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, He noted there was legislation before the federal parliament to ban the public display and sale of Nazi symbols. The bill, introduced in mid-June, will make it an offence to seek to profit from such material in stores or online. It will not ban private ownership or transfers of artefacts that are not for profit. Under the Albanese government’s laws, selling Nazi memorabilia would attract fines of up to $16,500 and apply to the Nazi swastika, known as the Hakenkreuz, and insignia relating to the Schutzstaffel (SS), Adolf Hitler’s paramilitary force. The bill would not prevent private ownership of the Hakenkreuz or SS material, or their display as war memorabilia in museums.
I got a medal a lapel pin and another pin thats looks maybe gold. And an armband my grandfather brought home. I'm told by people at militeria events that armbands were never stamped with maker marks. I thought some did.

They were fighting for the enemy. Granted, they had no idea but still

Seeing the stars gave me chills, when I saw it was Nov 9th, that was pretty incredible.I hope you guys get them for the museum.

As a history buff myself, the most chilling item I've personally seen was an SS uniform with the skull and crossbones on it. I believe it was SS-TV.
We need to see this. I think without
acknowledgement of the past we are doomed to repeat it. Hooe you're doing well. JD. God bless
Those stars I think are the most powerful of the pieces unveiled. So extremely powerful and moving.

Hope all is well with you JD , I absolutely love the artifact series so much interesting stuff with a lot of History Great Video Thank you
That eagle is amazing. Aside from the obvious, their pieces of art in themselves
This was really interesting and well made 👍🏻
🙏🏼
Thank you for teaching us more history on WW11
The book and the doll. Chilling.

If nobody hoarded all these horrific piece's of history, we'd have nothing to remind us of our past mistakes. Thanks
That doll is super creepy, gives me the shivers
Those are truly outstanding while also being a bit eerie looking into essentially life in the Reich during that time.
The museum was closed when I came! But I know Eric and JD were doing stuff it was the last day of the anniversary of the battle
I wonder what the person who was packaging that doll for shipment to the museum was thinking. That had to a be a "They don't pay me enough" moment for that person.
The opening dialogue was magnificent JD. I'm guessing your wife helped you with that😂 The items were definitely intriguing. Nice video 👍🏼😎
I agree wholeheartedly, the history MUST be preserved. Did Erik end up keeping all of the items?

For Sure JD!! Never Forget!

There is a good chance that book was signed in Munich as well.
