Corrections: 1. Germany kept extensive records at almost every level of the holocaust. 2. Over 500 German concentration camps existed, and numerous Toepf coal ovens were used in Europe, for body disposal. One single Toepf oven, fired with Austrian anthracite coal could reduce 700 bodies in 24 hours. 3. No one knows whether Giftgasi gas or phenol injections killed more concentration camp prisoners. Hypothermia/starvation was the third death source, followed by brutality, firing squads, and diseases. 4. Brutality, loathing, and class hatred are now more sugar coated than in the days of Fascism, but Roman entertainment was history's pound for pound peak of institutional murder. The conquest of English land was primarily driven by the need for more souls for gladiator game shows. Josef Mengele's Kinderjuden were a large portion of the Birkenau survivors the Soviet soldiers found and fed.

While I'm descended from Polish (father's side) and Lithuanian (mother's side) Jews, most of my family came to the US before WW2. The Holocaust against the Jews, Slavs, and other populations hated by the Nazis is overall not an entirely unique story, as humans have unfortunately been capable of mind boggling cruelty, particularly systematic cruelty, toward each other for a long time. But the Holocaust is perhaps the best documented example, partly because of its relative recency, and partly because of the morbidly meticulous documentation by the Nazis themselves. What does stand out in this period is the extent to which the Nazis industrialized and mechanized their mass death machine. The surviving footage of the camps views like a chilling, surreal hellscape, surreal because it's not possible to even contemplate such a reality. And yet it was real.

I was once in Auschwitz (it is located in my country whether it is like it or not, I must admit that it is an interesting, but at the same time a terrible and sad place. What I remember most about the trip is how I instinctively blocked my nose when we entered the former gas chamber (why? I don't know. I've heard a lot about this place, and I still wonder why some people call this place a Polish death camp.

I grew up in nyc. I remember as a teenager being in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood, the 1st time I saw a holocaust survivor. It was a tiny little old lady in a fruit and vegetable store. I knew she was in a camp because she had an old, blurry tattoo of a number on her arm. It was sad and horrifying to see as a young teenager. I still remember it and it gives me chills.

My god, and this within living memory not ancient history. What sort of breed were those Nazis? Surely not really humans, or even animals. I was born in 1937 in England and survived the Blitz in London, but this was the work of sub humans.

Perhaps you should make it clear that not all the footage in this presentation is historical, but some is taken from a commercial film. I am thinking especially of the end, showing American soldiers and actors pretending to be inmates.

3: 19 everyone rode along not just Jews. There's no account that I've read of nazi soldiers dieing or camp riots. that's hard to believe also. But the nazi believed knowledge is power so alot must have been omitted from record.

Anytime I watch a concentration camp documentary, I wish I was one of the liberators of camps. I would have shot to death every SS guard I encountered and allowed the prisoners to beat them to death. And I wouldn't care.

Killings we're going on everywhere. In Cambodia there were a lot of Cambodians killed for being smart. The middle class was killed off. Such a tragedy that people died violent and unfair suffering in Cambodia.

When my mom volunteered at a retirement home there was a very gentle man who was named Mr terwilliger. He was a green beret who liberated Dachau. One of my biggest regrets was not talking to him more.

A shame to all of us as human beings, putting all these people (prisoners, soldiers involved) through such horrific situations, it breaks my soul. May all of them rest in peace.

This is very unbalanced. They speak about how horrific were the Nazis and never speak about the soviet gulags where millions died. Yes because they were allied to US.

A video titled a day in the worst concentration camp, should have more of the video than just a small portion dedicated to a day in the life.
