I am not asking you to subscribe or even liking the video. But if you find time for it, share the video with someone who might not be aware. Thank you for watching!

Thanks for the video. I grew up in NYC and currently live in Israel, where I am a synagogue rabbi. I regularly view KZfaq Holocaust videos, since both of my parents were Holocaust survivors with a direct link to Auschwitz. My mother was a sole survivor of a large Romanian family, whose 6 siblings and mother were killed in Auschwitz. She and her father survived the camp, but her father died a week before liberation, after a months-long death march from Auschwitz through German cities, just a few days after she last saw him, when he told his friends he simply could not continue and collapsed. My father was raised in Auschwitz (Osweicim, Poland), and survived 6 years of hell on earth, including 2 in a nearby ghetto, and 2 in ten German concentration camps, weighing 30.5 kilos at liberation. Anything one does to commemorate the most horrific and incomprehensible genocide in history is worthwhile. May God bless you for your heartfelt efforts to record this and do your small part in making sure this is never forgotten.

The vast bulk of buildings in what was the Warsaw Ghetto, was destroyed by the Germans in 1943-44 following the Ghetto Uprising of 1943 by dynamiting and bulldozing. It literally became a sea of rubble several km square. The few buildings that survived were those used by the German garrison. Of the whole of Warsaw over 87% was destroyed during the Uprising of 1944 and following it, again by deliberate destruction by fire and dynamiting. Where buildings survived they were often rebuilt post war. Most of the rubble area was built over post war.

The assumption about historical buildings being destroyed is false. Warsawians pay a lot of respect to every bit of history that is left there, thats why you see those buildings secured and fenced. Nobody thinks about destroying any of the pre-war buildings.

Thank you so much for taking the time to record this. We must NEVER forget. ✝️🙏🏽❤️

In 2020 I went to what was the Krakow ghetto (where the Schindler jews lived) and it's basically the same as it was 80 years ago. No ghetto uprising took place so there was no damage. To those who say 'forget the past', NO it should not be forgotten. Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat the same mistakes.

Thanks for this. Those who cant get there appreciate your thoughtful videos of this important history. Greetings from Illinois!

Fascinating stuff. I think you got the tone just right. The ghosts of the dreadful past are fighting to not be forgotten here it seems.

The thing is the whole Warsaw is one humongous grave; after collapse of the Warsaw uprising in 1944 (200000 civIlians butchered) Germans expelled the lucky ones who survived it and annihilated the remnants of the city. As a result 85% of the pre-war Warsaw was razed to the ground within years 39-44

Thanks for this. I haven't got a chance to go to Europe yet and I am looking forward to seeing WW2 history when I do. This helps

Thanks for taking a walk around and showing the how the Ghettoes are now. I’m sure even if people are not stoping and taking pictures but they still carry the pain in there hearts for the people who once were victims of that dreadful time.. I feel the pain by watching it..

Thanks for the video I just watched the Pianist after many years n then found your video, very sad should never be forgotten never ever

thank you for not forgetting what happened here and there are people who have strong feelings about what happened here even now - and I am one of them.

Thanks for sharing. It's so important to remember. I feel such sadness lingering there.

Thank you for your video, sir.

Great video, great message on the end. Keep it up!

As there are so few remaining Warsaw ghetto buildings I think the outsides should be preserved. The interiors (if they can be made safe) should be renovated and used. It will give reason not to demolish the entire building.

I was there on this past September. I drove through Poland main cities filming for 10 days and never realized this until now. It's so sad that the local government is not preserving this site. They should have preserved this and created a big museum or something. Thanks for sharing this mate!

Thank you! I found the video excellent! I enjoyed seeing what is left of the Warsaw Ghetto. I am somewhat surprised that they are not saving these historical buildings. But maybe they would rather forget.

Watching from Texas. Thanks for the tour of somewhere I'd love to see but will probably never get to visit.. You're right, most people don't remember or know what happened in WWII, not everyone has forgotten. Thanks again

Great video! Interesting to see the contrast. I wish they would preserve the buildings. I know things would rather be forgotten but it's imp to remember them

Thank you very much, it was very helpful.

Subbed! Good to see someone who cares about history and shows it the respect it deserves. Never Forget

The silence and sadness of those walls…the starkness of that last empty building you shot… This is so moving, so heartbreaking. Thank you for filming this and for your deep commentary 💔💔💔💔💔

Really interesting video,, thank you for posting this

Hopefully will NEVER be forgotten!!

thanks for this walk around, very interesting

thank you for sharing

This is part of world history, thank you for sharing; never seen a building from that period of time so close.

Great work

Most interesting, thank you!

Thank you for filming this. I have read so much about the ghettos and I am glad that the city is preserving some of the painful history of that time.

They tried to erase the history of this incident. They should have preserved this and they should have created a museum, especially at the exact location.

I've always wanted to know if there silll ghettos parts left in Warsaw. You answered my question , your video is very , very intersing, thank you!

Almost 80years now. Wonder if the people back then imagened this place like it is today..

Thanks for the video. I must visit one day.

Thank you for your precious work

I'm surprised any of the buildings are still standing. I thought the SS had razed pretty much the entire ghetto to the ground.

Thanks for sharing with us the history most Minnesotans will never see.

Thank you for videoing this. I don't think anyone should ever forget history and what it can possibly happen again. I always think of Syria, Palestine, Yemen where today so much war and grief goes in modern times. My heart hurt when our President left people behind in Afghanistan. You are right we have to think now who is getting voted in today. Even then thinking you are doing right the person can turn into someone or something you did not expect. Again thank you. Each little piece keeps it alive. Good or bad we need to know and remember❤️

Thanks for your video and reminding us how people can slip into collective madness, just as we are seeing today in the United States. Our hope for the future is in the fact that these types of madmen are more vulnerable and not as tough as they project themselves to be. When the time came to answer for their crimes, the architects of WWIIs madness went into hiding or committed suicide by shooting themselves or taking cyanide capsules. As it is said, people united will never be defeated.

Thank you.

I can’t believe that’s all that remains

Thank you, its a nice bit of filming and something I had not seen. I must visit Poland and the death camps to pay my respects when covid is over. I often went to Hiroshima and Nagasaki when I lived in HK and that was quite an experience the first time, very emotional. Things can soon turn bad again at any time, thats human nature unfortunately.

Beautiful old buildings holding so much history and stories, much better to look at and see than ugly soulless glass boxes 🙁

I’m currently reading the Warsaw orphan it’s nice to see what the buildings & surroundings they talk about in the book look like

Thank you

10:18 the amount of bullet holes on the wall is shocking

Thanks for the video Timmy! It was clearly evident that you have nothing much to do with either the Holocaust, the Warsaw Ghetto...and even with Politics...which is fine btw. But even then, the way you ended the video, with your closing comments on Politics etc, you kinda said it all in your own 'simple' way... I enjoyed watching the remains of Warsaw Ghetto...Thank you for doing this, and God Bless You my dear brother... Take care n Stay safe...

Thankyou

Fantastic footage. Thank you. Buildings telling so much more than humans. Upon such important things.

Thank you for this. It's good to visualize the place where so much brutality happened and see it for what it is --- a real place where real people lived and, sadly, died. Somehow it surprised me to see what remains of the infamous Warsaw Ghetto as old buildings in a part of a neighbourhood in a modern city, where the sun shines and people walk by. I'd seen many wartime pictures of it, but somehow I'd never imagined the human scale of the buildings and the streets, and the distances between places before. In fact, it almost looks like a neighbourhood near where I live, an ocean away. Now when I walk around my city, I will remember the Warsaw Ghetto and never forget.

I honestly watch as much as I can an you are one of few that has current videos on the Warsaw Ghetto anymore. It is so hard to find tourist videos. Which I appreciate so much because people like me obsessed with learning about WW2 history and the holocaust don't always have money to go themselves. So we need these videos to continue to learn and remember how precious our lives are. Thank you.

Hi from Canada, June 2021. Appreciate your doing this, I’ve seen many films of the Ghetto, of how the Jewish people were treated, It’s sad that horrible atrocities was done to the people there. We must not forget it, We need to join together as humanity. We are all together on this earth, and we must not let evil people have power to rule Humanity. With what’s happening now, there is still atrocities being done to humans. So, I’ve seen Many documentaries made of WW2. I pray it never happens again. God bless you, and thank you for doing this!

Thanks for the video on Ghetto. Those sad times. Liked what you said in the end, choose your politicians carefully. Yes, even today, unfortunately fascism exists. Hope people in those countries who are enabling fascism have not learned from Nazis. Sad.

preserving that building before the developers bulldozers get to it...most of it has disappeared....great video and commentary.....

Good job

Thank you. #neverforget

Thanks

Thanks for the video I am from India 🇮🇳and I want to see ghettos because I I Have studied German revolution

Considering so much of Warsaw was damaged/ bombed/ destroyed during the war, its sad that the buildings that DID survive don’t have some form of heritage status. Even though I am not a huge fan of facadism, even leaving the facade and building a modern structure set back a few metres from the road would be preferable to total demolition. In cities like Auckland and Sydney where I have previously lived, this has been the case. Thank you for posting this video and for your insights. Warsaw is on my list of places to visit as is Poland as a whole. Cheers

5.27 yes I spotted the bullet and/or splinter holes also!

If those walls could talk.

I can't imagine living in one of those high rises with a balcony that overlooks what is left of the ghetto. 😢

It was a very interesting video. Also, very historically important. It is ironic that these building that are left that comprised the ghetto would be sealed off just like they were when the Jews were crowded there.

Thanks for the video..I hope.Warsaw will keep and restore some of these buildings as a reminder of 1944

Really enjoyed watching this, I’ve always wondered what the ghettos look like now. So so sad

I was in warsaw in 1989 and poland was still communist and part of the ghetto was a tourist attraction,so nobody forgott the horrors,that happened there.i was from Australia

That's crazy it's like people for gotten about Warsaw I've always wondered if people even pay attention to history pay respects

Additional comment, last December I skirted the perimeter of the ghetto in Budapest and similarly the area looked run down and there also didn’t seem to be much interest from most people walking past a commemorative plaque. Having now watched the whole video, it does seem like facades are being kept whilst new structures are being bult behind. And the buildings within the ghetto - they are being renovated and modernised to become apartments? Another question…were al this blocks and buildings left abandoned and empty during the soviet occupation, and until this day?

I think that one window was an original one.

m afraid tou are not terribly precise with your information but its very well done

Alot of ghosts around there.

Never again never forget

The 3story blocks of Muranow are built out of the bricks and stones of the ghetto

I'm weird because for me just to see or touch that bullet hole holds so much history. I would love to see that in person. It sounds stupid and yes it's just a building with bullets in it but it holds so much history and feelings. I'm nervous to go to places like the death camps. It's just alot to take in especially when you realize your walking and touching where the nazis and the "so called" undesirables did. I would be a nervous wreck, So much pain there.

What road did you lived/filmed the videos in the minutes 5/6... I am in warsaw at the moment and would love to see them.

Thanks for the video. Wonder is there will be any building left in Gaza that can be preserved as well 80 years in the future.

Thanks for the effort you put into this and information you provide in this video. I am surprised there is not a museum of some sort accompanying the wall with plaque on it. Berlin has many such museums accompanying various historical parts of the city associated with the Nazis and horrible things that must not ever be repeated.

you could go with a metal detector and search these empty lots.

My God!! I visited Warsaw 3 - 4 year's ago, got directions to that very Ghetto gate!! I walked all around that area and found a very few other remaining buildings from the war...I assume they are all demolished by now...

Thank you so much for this! I don't think that they are forgotten, it's just that during the Communist regime I doubt they would've allowed the buildings to be saved as memorials, let alone Jewish ones. Plus, some were already so dilapidated even when the Jews were sent there back in the early 40s that they needed to be torn down. It's only been 30 yrs or so since the fall of Communism, so I hope the government will be able to save more buildings like the one at 11:30 in the video especially. Seeing that one in real time really tore at my heart strings. It's holy ground there. Greetings from Florida.

Interesting

The graffiti seems to be everywhere in Warsaw. I guess street thugs are now a way of life the world over.

Couldn’t a memorial have been built using the actual bricks from the ghetto?

Check out this video about a WW2 secret kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z7yfhpWTqp--aJc.html

Hello Timmy.. Greetings from California. I enjoyed your video. Horrible place 2 b when hate ruled as king.. God promises these victims will return. They are in his memory. God does not lie...They will b back....

Never forget those who lived in death 💀

Makes me sad all those lives lost. People so easily forget them and just seem to start the cycle again. Kids here don't even know about this. Heck most of them don't even know anything about their own.

We should all be vigilant about politics and political leaders. It is a must in today's world!

14:27 which street is this?

9:40 did you notice the jewish star of david drawed on the window?

…I always wonder if the “ Current German Government ever compensated the Polish Government & people for the reconstruction of Warsaw & Compensated it’s the survivors “???

It’s unfortunate there is not more here to honor the lives lost and the souls traumatized from the awful things they endured here😔

So interesting thank you but did I not see washing hanging on a line there? Maybe homeless people live there ?

A cidade mudou, se modernizou, mas a sombra desse passado tenebroso nunca desaparecerá. Acho q eu nunca conseguiria visitar este país. Fico pensando na quantidade de vidas q pareceram nesse lugar.Nessas construções onde os judeus viviam amontoados parecem assombrados pelos pobres espiritos aterrorizados.Deve ser tao triste quanto visitar campos de concentracao.Eu não conseguiria.

Probably unsafe now ,,

YES I DEFINITELY FIND IT INTERESTING BECAUSE WE THINK THAT THE PAST IS IN THE PAST BUT NOT SO THE PAST HAS A WAY OF REPEATING ITSELF.

I BELIEVE IT WAS FROM 1939 TO 1945 NOT JUST IN WARSAW BUT OTHER EUROPEAN COUNTRIES AS WELL. IT SHOULDNT BUT I HAVE A FEELING IT WILL THEY DEFINITELYU WILL THANK YOU

I have mixed feelings about this - so sad so many memories there of tragic things - but again life is renewing itself and moving on. It seems so harsh but i wonder isn’t it best.
