As Mark Twain stated: "If our votes mattered, they wouldn't let us do it."

I’m a Jew but more importantly, a human being. People never mention the non-Jews Hitler exterminated. I have a soft place in my heart for the mentally ill. This is terribly, terribly sad 😢

My dear friends, Oddie Beau your favourite historian, is a one-man band - and these features take up a lot of my time, if you enjoy them and you wish to support my work, there are two options: One is support with rewards at my Patreon site, where your pledge will unlock videos that are not here on KZfaq. (link under description) Or you could use the `super thanks‘ option on KZfaq to send your love! Thank you :)

As George Carlin said, Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups and careful, if you think too much, they’ll take you away. The man knew what he was talking about

You know that your Oddites won't let this video get buried. We can't really stop it from being demonetized if the algorithm so decrees, but we won't let it disappear. People need to know about these histories. Everybody knows about the diary of Anne Frank, but there were so many more children victimized than just her and her story has been sanitized in the publication process. Please keep sharing these desperately important, nearly lost pieces of history. We all need to know, whether we want to or not.

As a mother and grandmother I just couldn't imagine being separated from my children in such horrific times . Heartbreaking

There are people in the world today that believe that it never happened. So I believe that this could happen again. Thanks for covering such a sensitive topic.

I've found this video in time. I hope it doesn't get burried. Current events here in the States are very troubling. The beginning of re-writing history in primary education has commenced. It's possible that future generations may never know the truth. They won't be able to see history repeating itself. Thanks for posting, Oddie.

Oddy, my friend, I could listen to you forever. You remind me that even with all humanity's problems, there are voices in the dark beckoning us to the light.

Thank you, Oddie. I'm a Polish American. My family immigrated here at the very beginning of the Nazi occupation of Poland, so I'm very sad to hear about the children, but I'm glad you talked about it. It's very important that we talk about it so this never happens again.

This was an expected surprise. Such sad stories but they need to be told and remembered. Told with such compassion. The children should be remembered and as you said it didn't happen that long ago. Thank you for remembering. Take care and look forward to the next.

Ursulas story really hits home for me, as I have a very complicated seizure disorder, which at one time was completely out of control. I also had very bad reactions to most seizure meds which caused the partial seizures to become worse. I became an epileptic after meningitis as an adult, I had seizures where I was confused, and could not be still and would ceaselessly wander the house. It seemed all the Drs were worried about was the gran- mals, and migraines, prescribing copious amounts of medication. This went on , off and on for 15 years, until I decided to take myself off my seizure medication slowly and against Drs orders. ( I am in no way recommending this for you!) Praise God this eventually worked and i didn't have what I termed ( stupid seizures) anymore. The gran -mals eventually became much less severe and only happened in my sleep when both my sons talked me into trying cannabis for my seizures. I also decided to adopt an optimistic attitude, saying I would get better. I remember the looks people gave me , even my family, as I repeated this phrase over and over. I now live a productive and happy life , and take no medication, ( aside from cannabis) these tend to have the opposite effect for me . If I had been in Germany, I would have been killed, and even in the US in those days very likely institutionalized. My heart breaks for these people. For anyone out there struggling for years and years, don't give up, I nearly did, my family and God kept me going. Though I was mad at Him for a good long time. I know he carried me through.

I’m so glad you posted this. I learned a good portion of the Nazis’ horrible atrocities when I did a college research paper. I will never close my eyes to the reality of what humans are capable of doing to each other.

As United States citizen I can assure you, you are exactly right. So many of us do know what the government's doing. Unfortunately so many people are dependent upon the government for their daily bread. I have learned that if you stay under the radar you're probably okay. They play their games, we play ours. When they screw over the wrong people maybe something will happen, but I don't see it.

I very much appreciate your commentary at the end. Yes, we would 'stand for it'. We've just been through a massive test of compliance re the stripping of basic right/dobbing in and accepting compulsory medical intervention. And most of us failed.

In Canada, we have the MAID program (Medical Assistance In Dying). It is offered to citizens who are merely depressed or even those who live in poverty. Thousands die every year in Canada each year in this way. It's not just being offered to those who are terminally ill anymore.

Ever since 2020, I now realize how this could have happened and can see the progression of things if you get my gist. Evil is trying to rear it's ugly head once again.

My grandmother immigrated to New Jersey from Poland, with her family, in 1947. She was placed in a Nazi work camp as a teen, because they were Catholic, I believe. I don't know what the story is, exactly, because she would never talk about it. But I know she was in a refugee camp because I still have the metal drinking cups that they were issued there. I also had, at one point, a cut out from a newspaper with a picture of my great grandparents that had a blurb saying they were celebrating their first American Thanksgiving at some club or church, or charity, or something. But unfortunately, I don't know where it is now. I always wondered what exactly happened because my grandmother would never talk about it. I always suspected that it messed her up pretty bad because she was kind of abusive toward me and my dad and had some sort of mental issues, that she never got any kind of help for. Everyone always talks about what the Nazis did to the Jews, but you never hear much about what they did to the Catholics.

Thank you for speaking on the governments. We are suffering from propaganda in the USA and censorship. Mind blowing how many people eat it up

Thank you so much for telling Ursula's story. Epilepsy is the oldest documented medical condition yet the least talked about. It has a very dark history. At different points in time epileptics would be neutered, put in an Epilepsy colony, separated from other psychiatric patients in hospital because they were thought to be contagious and were exorcised to expel the evil. These stories are never told so it's good to hear someone revealing one of the dark sides. Today for some it can be controlled but still comes with great expense, financially and mentally. Sadly stigmas still exist and some people still get frightened. About 25% of people with epilepsy experience suicidal ideation (something that isn't talked about), this can be from a poor quality of life, mental health issues and can be one of the side effects of the medications. Euthanasia wouls be tempting for many. These days I fear more for the healthy. There are certain industries that make a lot of money from people with disorders while taxpayers contribute to those costs. If you come across any disturbing tales about epilepsy many would love to hear them and have other people learn from them. Be careful of using the word epileptic or fits as people will get offended 😉 I apologise for such a long comment. Thank you again!

This is by far the best channel on KZfaq.The editing alone is creative enough just to watch of course not to mention all of the best historical stories..crime stories..etc..I just can't express enough how cool this is.... sincerely Aubrey Shelton ❤️

Thank you Oddie. My Uncle, my mothers brother was slow and we lost him. My Opa also died during the war and my mother doesn't have many memories of him.

Thank you for yet another thought-provoking and visually wonderful presentation. This one really got to me. My father was in the US Navy during WWII. Both he and my mother would occasionally speak about that time- with facial expressions I can only describe as grief-stricken. Sometimes my mother would have tears in her eyes. All the points you touch on in this piece are becoming frighteningly relevant- again! If my parents were still alive, they would be, by turns, nervous and appalled at the steps backward Earth seems to be taking. Maybe the “blessing” turned curse called the internet can one day be a sort of phoenix and become a blessing once more- allowing us to repair the damage we’ve done. I hope so. The images of those dear little girls will be hard, if not impossible for me to forget. I sincerely hope others are affected the same way. Terrific piece. Thank you, Anita

The empathy in your voice, it makes me tremble in fear knowing that this happened, not in my lifetime, but in lifetimes before this one, history is not all full of rainbows and unicorns, I’m just tired of history being dumbed down to sate the “sensitive” babies….thank you for giving these children a voice, letting the truth be told, cheers Oddie!!!! Again another history lesson that will stay with me, a narrative that helps us understand what we need to steer clear of, much love Oddie!!! Your Friend Kelly

I can definitely see that happening now😢🤬. Thank you for sharing this video 👍💕🇨🇦

I am so fortunate that my grandparents left before the Germans got control. My grandparents came to America in 1921 but many of my relatives died I’m sure. This is such a horrible,horrible hateful story. Thank you for your kindness in telling this story.😢

Wonderful commentary Oddie. I never thought we would see a time such as this. But yet, here we are. You are not alone in these revelations. We will get through this somehow together

Absolutely we Must take a Stand, I’m afraid for my country because we seem to be heading in that direction‼️Those poor children 💔🙏🪽Thank you for sharing this, so many want to remove it from history along with so many others.

Totally agree with you. I actually can see this happening again and I don't think we will be able to stop it.

Great production. This has begun again in Canada, poor and disabled are being recommended and encouraged by the government into voluntary euthanasia; if you think I'm crazy, look into it.

Hi Oddie! Great to see you and thanks for the video. Cheers!

Gee whiz. I'm an idiot. I spent the last hour listening to old rock and roll music. I got so bored having heard it all my life. Then I searched for your tales of another kind of history. Now, I am entertained with interesting and intelligent topics of stories that never fail to truly entertain me. Staying up late at night to watch your videos is definitely my great escape. I have not had a T.V. in my home for 8 years now. Your channel is my favorite video for intriguing, informative and entertaining anything I need!!!

I was hesitant to watch this video, I wasn't sure I wanted to see the depths of evil this morning. But then I saw who made the video and was confident there would be none of the hollow sensationalism of some and the subject would be handled with the proper gravity needed for bearing witness to history so that such evil won't be repeated.

Great video, Oddie. You are able to cover difficult and sensitive subject matter very respectively and it's a subject that needs to be covered to prevent the mistake from repeating. Keep strong and stay safe.

Another important and well constructed video. I followed your channel around 5 years ago and somehow lost it in that time. I remembered it today and I'm so happy to be back. Keep up the good work.

It just blows my mind how those men could do it. No conscience. And so many! ....and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands...🇺🇲 straight facts, my friend! Thanks Oddie👍

I am glad that you're telling a true story from n0t so long ago. Thank you Oddie & generous Patrons. ❤

Worked security last night for the moss landing antique festival and just got home. So much fun watching everybody putting their treasures on display. Now is the perfect time for some Oddy. 🧡 and some sleep

Even in her innocence and youth she knew that horror was coming with the Nazis. The smart girl touch of naming her bike Friday gives us a small glimpse of the intelligence and light that was lost in such sweeping devastation. Her diary is such a clear and sad voice yelling out of the darkness, such eloquence as the curtain came down. Diaries like hers, stress the people who were lost, bring us back from the #'s that we can not truly conceive. Stalin said 1 death is a tragedy but a million deaths is a statistic. But those million had a million personal stories. We must always remember the individuals lost as well as remember that it wasn't a machine that killed them but individuals as well who decided the deaths and did the killing.

Good afternoon from a rainy London, thank you for your hard work Dear Oddie 😊

Thank You, Oddie, for giving 2 Innocent Little Girls faces, and voices. 🥀🥀🥀🥀 We Must Never Forget.

When I was active duty military , I had exact medical personal complain when I was prescribed by doctors some medicine they thought was too expensive but necessary , like it was only for those who were high ranking and from the rich families. Luckily the bean counters at that time were not not too common . There are too many people who would "burn" down their own "home" to deny others in country I live in. As child I met a woman who bake me most delicious rum cakes I ever tasted in my life, she would wait for me to show up and let me pour the rum or other liquor on hot cake so we could enjoy fragrance steam from the cake together. She had an number tattooed on her wrist from surviving extermination camp in her childhood. She would never tell about the camps because that was not for an childs ears, so at early age I read every book on the Holocaust I could get my hands on. I understand now how an such terrible thing was hard for her to talk about. Knowing about the holocaust helped with surviving own my hard childhood, thank you Mrs Bubbly for being positive influence in my life.

Thank you for sharing the stories of these children. They’re tragic stories but it allows us to feel for them and wish for their souls to be happy somewhere. I’m so sad thinking about all the children who have suffered and who are currently suffering 😞

The atrocities under Hitler will never be forgotten but many more need to know the real history of Germany and many other things that are not taught. Im 56 and i went to private school and we were never taught about Hitler's Germany. My heart will always ache for those innocent Souls. Thank you.

Nice work Mr beau awesome gob

I believe this is your best video yet, Oddie! It broke my heart to see it and know that even now, it could happen again.

Nazi horrors (unfortunately) fascinate me so much. But as everyone else has stated, please keep posting your stories and post more of these to remind us how easily history can repeat itself. Dear God just to think of how many people I know, myself, my husband, and my parents included, that would be deemed "useless" by society and have God knows what done to us is sickening. I used to think "Thank God we were born in better, more sensible times", but living in Tennessee my whole life I just don't know how sane this world really is anymore.

I really do still know people who think if it was bad the government wouldn't let us do it and it's people like that are holding us down and back it feels like nowadays if people can watch crap on tiktok with their head berid in their phones then people are happy to do so great video mate its great to know I'm not the only one who thinks in the same way ✌👍

Thank You Oddie for another great Story im a mom of 2 Autism spectrum Teen's and i love my Children so much can't even imagine them in one of those institutions Thank God They were born in today's Time's.Thank You 👍👊✌🕊🕊🕊

Very powerful and moving. Thank you for introducing their story and these documents to the wider world.

I think what frightens us all. Is deep down, we all know, this "could" happen again. We all know it should not but...

You presented this with care n respect. I studied Europe between the wars 1918 to 1939. It was horrendous to study how as a people we can just close our eyes to the truth. Evil. X

Thank you for keeping their memory alive. You're right. It was not that long ago.

Great to see you Oddie!❤❤❤

Nostrovia❤❤❤❤ Thank you very much GOD bless Everyone Philadelphia USA 🇺🇸

You are so right. I find allies in the most unusual places. It's good to know that the kind gentle person whose scary and interesting videos I so enjoy is such a great thinker. You're so correct. The best to you and yours!

My brother moved to East Germany after the wall came down. He has some amazing stories.

Thank you for my Sunday treat❤

Thank you for continue to educate and not let us forget. As a mother I have no words. It’s our job to not let history repeat itself.. it’s not even that long ago.

Oddie, Thank you for this video. My Father's family is mostly German, with just a few specks of Irish and Polish mixed in. Our family came here to the states in the late 1600's. None of our family was ever involved in what Hitler did. Yet, I still feel guilty for what happened. This is such a sad story. My Grandmother got pregnant by a polish man when she was 13, she gave birth at 14. My great-grandmother didn't care about her age, only cared that it was polish man. That was a bad thing then. Back then, a mother could tell a doctor what to do, and he did it. My grandmother was told she was having her appendix out, but in reality, she was sterilized by a doctor by my great grandmother's word. My Father was the only child she ever had.

Thank you, Oddie. You are a light. YT can't dampen it.

Well said Oddie 👍

Suddenly my "feeling sorry for myself" sad life, is put into a bit of a clearer perspective. ... just horrific. Unfortunately all I can do is like and comment due to lack of funds.

Thank you for bringing light to these two innocents. So many people in the United States deny the Holocaust ever happened. I met a wonderful survivor years ago. I could have listened to his stories for days. I bought two pictures from his yard sale and will cherish them always.

The legend oddy yet again bringing alot of interesting videos.

We all know that this was the darkest, most evil time in history, where the evil that men can do brought about the mass murder over 6 million people… That being said, I feel we often forget that they were individual people, with hopes, dreams, and personalities. And that some were little girls who named bicycles that they never got to ride. Thank you for bringing a human element to this.

I see things exactly as you say. EXACTLY! How strange. But wonderful your video is getting out there! ♡

Oddie,2 good stories, thank -you .❤

Thank you for wonderful stories that would have never been told if you didn’t take the time to tell their stories. ❤️😊

Thank you for bringing these children recognition. It wasn’t that long ago. Who needs horror movies? Reality is worse.

There isn't one word you said in your summation that I or billions of people that could hear it, would disagree with. Not one word! I said your last video was a "Masterpiece"?. It was! But sir may I say, this video was supurb. Absolutely supurb!!!!!! God Bless you and yours. Cheryl.

Hear, hear, Oddie! Rwandan Massacre wasn't that long ago either. We learn nothing from history.

I would like to see your take on the tragic lives of the Brontes, I think your style and the way you incorporate old images would be perfect to describe them and really get a sense of that time and place😊

Thank you for this video, as disturbing as it is. We must not let this happen again, tho I don't know how it can be stopped.

Rest In Peace to All of the Innocent Victims,and Those That Fought for Them.🥀🥀🥀🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️ Prayers The Survivors were able to find Peace.🙏🙏🙏💔💔💔🕊️🕊️🕊️

Oddie you should make a horror film. Your videos both fascinate me and creep me out at the same time. I onky watch them in daytime

So true. You're so right. Thank you for this episode.

Danka Shay sir oddie 🙏🌎🖤🤍❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎👣you forever bring thee past to life bless your spirit & heart & soul🙃

Thank you for all your hard work!

I will never understand such evil it still makes me so sad to think of the terror these innocent people must of felt ... thanks Oddie for reminding the world that such cruelty still exists and also two young girls taken away its unthinkable 😢😢😢

Thanks! Thank you for continuing great work, Oddie. ❤

So much wisdom in your closing statement

A Work of Art your Videos Oddie! 💞 Thanks So Much for All your Hard Work! ✝️💜☮️👀

Glad you are back mate!

Thank you for covering these.

My heart goes out to all those poor sweet Souls..I just Pray and hope all this doesn't take place again..God Bless Everyone 💛🙏 We can't let it ever happen again!!!

To true, heartbreaking. Let's hope this never happens again.

Another great video! Love your self portrait!

I understand you skepticism of democracy dear Oddie, but please don’t lose faith in humanity. There are a lot of us who, like you, want a world of peace. ❤❤❤

My hat goes off to you, Dear Oddie! This bit o' history is so relevant to today. Too many of today's generation knows little to nothing about that Era, and too many were victim to this way of thinking. I studied history in college almost 25 years ago. I've grown to distrust both sides. History has never been more important than it is now! Each side has it's own agenda. I am with you on your thoughts on democracy. I've never believed in the voting system in the US, and 2000 was the year that solidified it for me with the Bush/Gore election. It has only become worse since then. It is beyond fixing, and some things I have said would happen, have come to be.....sad, really.

Heartbreaking is an understatement Oddie, it's horrible to watch their evil acts as a whole, when you start hearing individual stories, especially from children, omg, so many innocent people, so many wars, imagine if the world's armies joined together and said, no more, all of them, and left the cowardly leaders open and naked, not so tough then. I shouldn't torturing myself picturing it in my mind. 😣😒 when I seen Russian soldiers leaving to stay in Ukraine, and one Russian police officer tear up his passport and say he'd disowned Russia, I thought imagine if they all stood together, they'd be unstoppable. You know what they did take down after 3 days, the documentary Hellstorm. Which really proved, there's no evil countries, just evil individuals, hang on, I just missed that self portrait, I have to go back ✨️✨️✨️👍.

So true. Another meaningdul video, thanks Oddie!

Thank you. Straight to the point. 🎯

You always do a great job. I love how you do with the detail and you always get the facts right keep up the great❤❤

Oddie uploads are always very interesting and I Love his narrating as well

You Always post Excellent videos! You're greatly Appreciated!

Thank you for doing this xx

This is brilliant!! Chilling truth.

I can't imagine how Traumatized little Ursula was !💔💔💔💔 Rest In Peace Ursula 🥀🥀🥀🕊️🕊️🕊️🙏🙏🙏

Eva must have been so sad about her bike! She sounds so mature, and at her age. 🥀🥀🥀🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️ Prayers for Eva, and Ursula.🥀💔🥀💔🥀💔🙏🕊️🙏🕊️🙏🕊️ And for The Innocent Victims 🙏🙏🙏🙏🥀💔🥀💔🥀💔
