I've been to a few different camps trying to understand what they went through. I can't even begin to understand how they felt in these camps but i believe we should never let them be forgotten.

My great-grandfather was a prisoner in KL Buchenwald. I found his documentation in archives and it said he was a political prisoner (after the Warsaw Uprising), but they kept him alive because he was a qualified metalworker. I must say, their archives are amazingly detailed. Pity it documents the oceans of suffering

Lots of my older ancestors went to concentration camps luckily my grandma didn’t and survived she wrote a book on her life she was 6 when it happened

Thank you for bribing light to this and not letting this tragedy be forgotten

This should be taught in all schools We must NEVER forget😢

Makes me so sad to see what people went through 😢

The film ' boy in the strips pajamas ' (slow start ... but....) a movie that really made me go whoa* and has never left my mind.

It is also worth noting how the colour you wore could affect treatment by both guards and prisoners. In many cases those who wore pink triangles were persecuted by guards and prisoners alike. these people suffered one of the highest death rates in the camps by category. People charged under 175 were not allowed to access financial aid postwar unlike other survivors

In high school, we were able to meet 2 camp survivors. It is one of my greatest moments of my life. Feel sad for future generations that will never be able to meet people that actually were there

Wow, that penciled picture at the end really hit home.

The horrors those people endured…..

I was stationed in west Germany, 1986-88, I went to Dachau

My greatgrandfather died there in Neuengamme, november 1942, he would have worn a red triangle.

Here’s some more info I found on the meanings of the different color triangles: Red triangle - political prisoners: social democrats, liberals, socialists, communists, anarchists, gentiles who assisted Jews; trade unionists and Freemasons Green triangle - convicts and criminals (often working as kapos) Blue triangle - foreign forced laborers and emigrants. Purple triangle - primarily Jehovah’s Witnesses (over 99%) as well as members of other small pacifist religious groups. Pink triangle - primarily homosexual men and those identified as such at the time (e.g., bisexual men, trans women) and sexual offenders as well as pedophiles and zoophiles. Black triangle - people who were deemed asocial elements (asozial) and work-shy (arbeitsscheu), including Roma and Sinti.

Thats actually very interesting, thank you for the information!

So amazing that these printed records survived. Thank you for helping these dead souls speak for themselves. Don't forget that prisoners had their numbers tattooed on their arms. This was a way of dehumanizing the prisoners, taking away their names, and turning them into mere numbers. I live in Canada and I have seen the arm tattoos of many people as I was growing up. I always had to fight back tears. I can't begin to imagine the horrors that these brave people endured. Yes, yellow for Jewish people, and pink for gays. NEVER AGAIN.

Before this I only knew of the yellow triangle/star and the pink triangle thank you for sharing this!

Also, a pink triangle to designate that a person was homosexual. Pink was worn by many men before WWII, but afterward the color was stigmatized and often still is today.

RIP to all those who perished. You will always be remembered and loved❤😢

This is the only good reason to film a tiktok at a concentration camp

I could never understand how anyone could treat anyone else so unfeelingly. Hearts of stone.

My great-great-grandfather was actually a prisoner in this concentration camp for not wanting to fight in the war. He and his brother escaped from the frontlines but while his brother had the 'excuse' of marrying his wife, he himself didn't have enough reasons not to fight and was sent to Neuengamme. After the war, he died of a sickness he caught there. A few years ago I visited with my class and before that my grandma told me about this, makes the topic even heavier if you know your own family was affected.

The sad part of this is it happened and people have forgotten what hate does. 😢

Thank you 🙏 I thought it was just the yellow star. Very informative!!❤️

Thank you for this video This was Never taught to us...

I never knew there were so many different patches that could be worn. Great video.

I'd like to see this complete broadcast.

Very, very interesting. I never knew about this practice.

Purple triangles were Jehovas Witneses

I felt like this was all pretty common and well-known information. It’s interesting to see all the commenters that are just learning about this

We’re learning about this in school!

Thank you for telling their story.

What a beautiful German voice. I could listen all day.

Same uniform as bananas in pajamas

Thank you for content that makes humanity better.

This breaks my heart

Wow I have never learned this. This should be placed in history books.

Talk about the Holodomor now 🙃

And yet there is a growing number of people saying this is all fake 😒😞

Neuengamme is the name of the former concentration camp she is in. These places must be remembered

Thanks I was looking for more examples other than the pink triangle and the star of David

hugo boss uniform

Thank you for keeping history alive!

Very thankful for the story

very interesting!

Be sure to also visite other concentrationcamps. Not all camps are looking the same. Neuengamme ,Hamburg is a good place to start diving into this historic event :)

Never knew that. I have read a great deal tho. Thank u so much. Blessings

Great educational video. Seeing it done by DW fills me with joy. Good to have German people on the good side of history this time around :) Germans should be proud of themselves, not about the dark history but how You overcame it.

I'm currently staying near Belsen. Every day I can't decide if I should go there or not.

The men with the pink triangles were treated the worse

Being held against your will. Beaten and harnessed, some lived a very short time doing manual labor until they died from being beat for not working fast enough. Let us never forget who they were and what they went through. Thank you for bringing this to light.

We should not forget the Anglo Boer war in the 1900 between British and the Boers. Many women and children died in British concentration camps in South Africa during the second Anglo boer war. 24000 women and 3400 children died. If it was not for British English women Emily Hophouse more women and children would have died.

Look up how the treated the purple triangles

Thank you. If we forget history, we will repeat it.

Gotta love german matculousness, efficiency and attention to detail.. 👀 very technical

The pegs through the cards is horrifying. They were never leaving.

"Don't loose on war because history written by winners " - Annonymous

The pink triangle are gays. They still use that as a symbol of theirs.

Yeah right. How did they tell who got pool privileges and who didn’t

Jehová Witness. What triangle they got.?

Who wore the purple triangle ?

Those were not just numbers, those were catalogue numbers in IBM system leased to the /l/azis. Those number were in line with the labels.

"dedicated work will set you free"!!!!

Do you think that doesn’t happen now?

No explanation was given tisk tisk

Now Texas makes all residents have a yellow star on their drivers license. So nostalgic.

On top of my sadness I'm also angry that there are some people who deny any of this ever happened and not even out of shame. How blinkered does a person have to be? We don't forget...ever!

Is there a long version video of this ?

Purple triangles

Does anyone know the track name of this piece?

They would sometimes gun down U.S soldiers who were put in the camps as a PO. It was a dark war but it has brought people closer from hating a common enemy.

It was a working camp.

Upside down Purple Triangle were for Jehovahs Witnesses.

I don’t want to upset anyone. But it seems the uniforms were the same. Only the patches difference.

Nice looking uniforms.

Might be offensive to some but we must learn history and record it in case we forgot for future generations

Very sad so many lost souls 💔 😢

Why don't we ever get details from inside the other countries concentration camps?

Imagine being able to switch mood’s because of a colored shape? Those people were truly psychotic

I’ve always felt strange about having a German name in America even though my family was here well before either world war.

This can never be forgotten. Germany has choosen transparency.

They died of hunger in the last days, not gassed. Britain cut of all supplies to the camp

I don't know why this is on my feed. But I feel like I owe the ones who suffered, to watch them.

We can’t let this ever happen again 😢may they Rest In Peace 🕊

The video cut off??

We were there, very sad 😢 we have to pray for the peace of the world!!!

This happened in 1945 when a girl called Anne frank and her sister Margot Frank got sent to the concentration camp (A13) (M16)

Those with pink triangles were likely persecuted by other prisoners, but never those who wore purple triangles, who always tried to be kind and supportive....as they could be anyway. Interesting because the Bible that they followed so stoically, condemmned homosexual acts. Acts, not the people.

Interesting and informative. Sad none the less.

These horrible places must never be forgotten. How evil people can and will be must be shown to help prevent this in the future. I toured Manzanar in southern California's desert, a horrible place with sad wind.

Word to the wise: iIf your child has shown signs of being an empath... do NOT take them here. Their budding souls don't require this lesson. Instead... It's so awful for them. I was maybe... 12 years old? Now Im 40, and just the memory of what I felt there has me in full tears now all these years later.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have a camera and I was there for the Dachau dark beer festival. In fact I didn’t know there was a concentration camp there until I got there.

I’m just interested in the tour guide.

Most of the guards were Ukrainian.

We condemn the genocide of Jewish people 😢 it was cruel We also condemn the genocide of Palestinians by Jewish settlers 😢

If we learn how the enemy operates we won't be naive enough to fall for their games ever again. Thanks for this video

Cool!

That's what the American government did to the Indians.

I apprenticed with an internment camp survivor. Showed me his tattooed number from Aushcwitz

Thank you for this information brings to light how more awful practices of the ungodly regime of a mad man .What a huge and tragic loss for the world 😢. I am not Jewish I am a Christian from the US .
