WELCOME TO AUSCHWITZ
The Complete DISTURBING Tour, WARNING: Actual footage. Auschwitz concentration camp is a place where the bleak reality of WWII conditions suffered by its inmates has not lost its intensity, sending shivers down the spine of its visitors and remaining reflection-provoking for years to come. Auschwitz-Birkenau was the primary site of the Nazi's "final solution to the Jewish problem". It is estimated that 1.3 million people were sent to Auschwitz and of these, 1.1 million died. Most people deported to Auschwitz were sent immediately to the gas chambers. Those who did not die in the gas chambers died of other causes, including starvation, infection, medical experimentation, and forced labor.
Auschwitz isn’t somewhere you ‘want’ to visit, but it’s certainly somewhere that you should visit - a place you'll never forget.

The Word HOLOCAUST means BLOOD SACRIFICE, & there have been MANY. How would the "Jewish" people know what it means? The Babylonian Pharisee's NEVER gave the Khazars the correct Hebrew alphabet when they converted them into their Satanic sex cult of Orthodox Judaism. The Ashkenazim don't speak Hebrew, they speak Cock-a- doodle. New York Times Headline: 6 MILLION Jews are under threat of extinction...What year did they print that? 1912.....How could 6 MILLION Have been killed, when there were Not 6 MILLION Ashkenazim in Poland & Germany put together?....The New York Supreme Court ruled that the ANNE FRANK DIARY was and is a FRAUD. Ghost written after the war by MEYER LEVIN of Sweden . WHEN IS THE ZIONIST STATE GOING TO ACKNOWELEDGE THE ARMENIAN HOLOCAUST...OR THE CHRISTIAN HOLOCAUST OF OVER 66 MILLION AT THE HANDS OF THE ASHKENAZI'S.. always looking for sympathy aren't you.

He survived, thankfully, but had trouble with his legs years later.

In 2018 I visited Auschwitz-Birkenau. With a class full of 16-17 year-olds, laughing beforehand having a great day. I have NEVER seen a mood change so suddenly and quickly. As you said in the video, you just feel drained, and empty, with no way to fully comprehend the horrors experienced in that death camp. It was a harrowing experience and I urge people that if they get the chance to go and experience it for themselves. The feeling you get is like no other and I cannot find the words to properly do the experience justice. It is one thing to learn about it in a classroom but going there and standing where 1.5 million were murdered because of the delusions of one man is an APPALING experience. Do not bring flash photography, and don't worry about speaking too loudly. You will inadvertently be silent throughout the tour.

You know what's sick? I heard stories of teenagers actually browsing on their phones WHILE THE TOUR IS GOING ON. They're surrounded by the remains of where thousands upon thousands of innocent people died, and they're browsing on social media. It's good that they left the camp intact, as physical proof that such horrors were committed by actual human beings on others. No one talks about the fact that these horrors were not isolated to the Nazis. The Japanese committed similar atrocities to Chinese prisoners, for the same reason that they were taught from a young age that they were racially superior.

It didn’t start at that either, it started small and worked its way up. Small things to discriminate, segregate, and deny Jews certain aspects of public society. Kind of like how the “unvaccinated” were discriminated against and segregated from participating in full public life because they exercised their fundamental human right to informed consent, as dictated by the Nuremberg Code, which was written in Nuremberg after the trials and the public realization of the medical horrors performed by the Nazis. And yet here we were, 75 years later, making the same mistakes that the German people let their society and government do in the 1930’s and 40’s. And when people who are politically and historically literate like myself pointed this out and were warning against it, even predicting the vax passports well over a year before they happened (it was all a crazy conspiracy theory that would never happen until it did, at which point not only is it completely normal but actually at good thing 🤡🤡🤡), we were called crazy conspiracy nuts and dismissed as such. Our accuracy and consistency is so good that “conspiracy theory” should just be replaced by “spoilers/sneak preview of reality in the next 6-18 months”. It pays to pay attention.

It is truly difficult to describe the depth of morose sadness that comes across your heart and mind as you see things like the prisoners' belongings. There was a moment which I experienced at the camp that I will remember for the rest of my life. As we entered the room that prohibited photography of any kind, the room with the display of human hair, about half of our group broke down in tears. The other half (including myself) simply stood in stunned silence. The sheer weight of the experience of visiting this place is hard to quantify. It is a mere glimpse of the depths of evil that all humanity should avoid. Thank you for this video. Much needed.

@someone6170 Жыл бұрын

@Ho lee Fuk , basically there were many concentration and extermination camps in Nazi controlled areas which had huge numbers of people in them. With the allies advancing quickly the Nazis didn't have time to kill everyone. They therefore left those who couldn't walk in the camps (7,500 survivors in all Auschwitz camps), and took the remainder on so-called death marches further into Nazi controlled areas away from the front lines (58,000 from Auschwitz - with three quarters surviving). All up it is believed about 250,000 to 300,000 survived both the concentration camps and death marches (although many died soon afterwards). Essentially you are talking about huge numbers of prisoners, huge numbers of deaths, but still many survivors, just based upon the huge numbers of people involved.

He didn’t talk much about it, and when asked about his father he would essentially shrug. At one point he told my dad that his dad was captured when they fled. Wether he ended up in a camp or not is something that often crosses my mind.

I thought the mafia did some horrible torture to their victims until I learned of Auschwitz.

Looking at the condition of em all......our ancestors really knew how to make things that last. You don't see that alot anymore. Not as many people take pride in their work these days.....well compared to back then. The quality of these suitcases and handbags......the shoes....the boots. Some of those boots are in better shape than mine. To think all those qualities, trade techniques that might have been lost forever in the minds of those who were slaughtered. We lost that future with those people. They lost their opportunity to pass on their knowledge & trade skills to their kids.......on an individual level. They lost so much along with their lives.

Thank you...I have visited twice. One can not absorb what happened there. I have never seen footage of which shows the various inscriptions on the tablets, camp one and Birkenau. This would be SO interesting. If anyone can enlighten me...Then I would be most grateful...Thank you again.

I met a lady years ago in a group home I was in and she was the housemother. She still had her tattoo numbers and asked why she still had them. She was from Germany by the way to explain that even they weren't immune. She said she kept her numbers so she'd never forget. But the most amazing was that she had no hatred about it. I asked why. I'd be broiling in it. She said keeping hatred makes you no better.

I knew of how awful the Holocaust was, but actually seeing where the horrific events took place is on a completely different level. I think more people need to see and realize how terrible it really was

That totally echoes my experience. I was there this time last week. It is like a numbness, but there are not the words in my vocabulary that can describe it or capture that emotion.

I had the courage to visit Auschwitz a number of years ago and to this day still feel the effects. I think you did an amazing job with this video and really hit home on the sad atmosphere.

Good job, you visited the transit camp known as Auschwitz where no gassing of people took place. It was simply a holding camp for prisoners until they are sent to labor camps in Germany. Stop relying on your emotions and use some critical thinking.. You are being told they gassed people, covering up the fact the process of having the prisoners strip and take a shower is the process to keep an outbreak of diseases such as from Typhus carrying lice by using Zyklon-B. This process has been used around the world. The shaving of their hair wasn't to "dehumanize" them but to, once again, remove lice from the prisoner. PS: The introduction of Zyklon-B pellet's into the "gas chamber" won't make it convert to gas.. You need certain temps for that to happen. The Figure "6,000,000 Js being ext***inated" can be found in news papers starting from 1900 way before Hitler to post WWII.

I'll always remember the pile of hair. I still had tears to my eyes when you talked about it. Great video, it really captures the darknest and heaviness of this place.
