  • We must never forget the 6 billion hindus who died in the German gas chambers.

  • Die Amerikanischen Produktionen sind nicht die besten. Ich schaue in der Regel keine solchen Filme mehr an, sie sind zu sehr von dem kommerziellen Interesse der Filmindustrie beherrscht. Zuviel Melodramatik. Wenn jemand den Horror des Holocaust erfahren will, es ist einen tschechischen Film sehr zu empfehlen: keine einzige Szene von Gewalt, aber der reinste Horror. Modlitba pro Kateřinu Horovitzovou (A Prayer for Katarina Horovitz) - 1965, zu sehen auf Youtube.

  • Just finished watching. Thank you for posting!

  • Magnificent series.A very fitting tribute to honour the victims.The world should NEVER forget man's inhumanity to man;NEVER EVER AGAIN should such atrocities happen.Peace.

  • “Some things are true even if they never happened.” -- Elie Wiesel-

    the jewish supremacists attempt to dictate that jewish "memory" of events should always supercede the proven facts. Hollywood and the written word are utilized to manufacture "memory" of events that never happened such as "Exodus" and "Holocaust". The people who are burdened with low-intelligence are constantly brainwashed through forced compliance with jewish "memory" of make-believe events that portray the jews as victims.

  • @AlienDominators My family was killed in the Bloodlands by Hitler's SS. The Holocaust was not only about Auschwitz. There was much more evil.  You are ignorant.

  • @WhiteRavenHawk - The core legend that surrounds the Holocaust is a Russian supplied hoax. The death toll during WW2 is huge. Rusians suffered bigtime and hated Germans. The Hoax was one way to exact revenge on Germany. The Jews figured out in 1978, it could be a gold mine, and the reparations party has grown yearly. One reason they refuse to debate the matter. It isa hoax that is supported stateside with attention seeking old folks.

  • the 1975 book "Hoax of the Twentieth Century" by Northwestern University professor Arthur Butz exposed the reasons why the "Holocaust" propaganda lies were implemented against the defeated Germans. The main purpose was to deflect scrutiny away from the many mass murders of inhabitants committed by the Allies such as Holodomor, Katyn forest, Bromberg, Danzig, Dresden, Hamburg, Cologne, Royan, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Nagasaki and the Gulag death camps. The hoax has served many other purposes as well.

  • brilliant video

  • I am a survivor of Auschwitz. I lived in the camp for 6 yrs. My job was electrician. I can answer

    any question on this camp. First off, there were no humans gassed, so no silly gassing questions.

  • @390bullitt1968 6 yrs ? ;)..so will U tell me how many gass chambers were scheduled in Birkenau in 1940 ??

  • @TheManiek38 -none

  • @TheManiek38 Look at my comment to 390bullitt...

  • @390bullitt1968 From PBS. By the early spring of 1943, four huge crematoria became fully operational at Auschwitz II (Birkenau). They housed eight gas chambers and forty-six ovens that could dispose of some 4,400 corpses per day. Trains would arrive at the camp and those most fit—approximately 10-30 percent of the arrivals—would be selected for a work detail. The remaining prisoners were sent to the gas chambers.

  • @WhiteRavenHawk - There were roughly 12 ovens and EACH oven had 3 muffles which could house one body. No doubt about it. Based on coal shipments to Auschwitz it is estimated 80,000 were cremated. As to gassings, you need to try harder, so far, not a shred of forenic evidence exists to support the gassing cliams, which was a Russian supplied hoax. I have been to all 6 Polish camps, so I have forgotten 1000 times more than you will ever know. PBS is wrong.

  • lol David Warner played heiydrich in 2 movies he must know the part reallly well now.

  • What a fantastic mini series...each minute touched me deeply.

  • One of the best tv seriies ever made!!

    /  Chris

  • Meryl Streep is easily one of the most beautiful women in show business - and she still looks stunning! I'm so jealous of her. :P And James Woods was a hottie too back in the days. *Drools*

  • @punschpralinen I completely agree, he was so hot. :) And he is probably the most underrated actor of all time.

  • i believe the law forbidding jews and germans to marry went into effect in 1934, not 35...not that it matters..ive seen this before and i know there are many minor discrepancies like that throughout the series..its accurate enough.

  • me encanto!

  • This was always one of my favorite mini-series ever shown on TV. I was in the 7th grade when it was first shown. Some of us at school talked about it a lot after it was shown. I saw that a DVD copy of this movie is available for purchase and I intend to get one in the near future.

  • One question: I know this miniseries is available in Greek in DVD format, but I would like to know if it was ever aired on Greek TV, and when. I need the info for a research project for school.

    Αυτό το σέριαλ το έχουν βάλλει ποτέ στην Ελληνική τηλεόραση; Αν το έχουν βάλλει, πότε; Χρειάζομαι τις πληροφορείες για μια έρευνα.

  • My great grandparents left Austria because their lives were threatened..thank you for this movie...Peace and Love

  • THANK you for uploading :)

  • La traduction des sous-titres en français est "atroce"...plein de mots...qui n'ont aucun rapport...à quand une traduction de qualité ???

  • @dionmariec

    Si jamais, il vous reste la possibilité d'apprendre l'anglais ;-) Mais hélas, les Français sont incapables de parler d'autres langues. Alors, quoi faire.....

  • We do NOT forgive We do NOT forget

  • The absolute best mini-series ever produced.This brought tears to my eyes as a child and stll does.Brilliant performances by some of the best Hollywood had to offer.Never Again!

  • Thank you SO much for uploading this! But may I give you an advice? youTube has the habit of blocking movies. So maybe it's wise to add a disclaimer, credits and the 'fair use' article. If you don't have it or can't find it, you can copy it directly from my latests uploaded documentaries. And if you mention this is to educate people also about history then you're sure you be safe. It would be a shame if people are not able to watch this great story.

    Say NO to racism, nazism and fascism!

  • @arafel1964 Very right! I watched this series just some 10 years ago on VHS for the first time and although I have read and watched a lot of books/documentaries about WW2 and its atrocities, this series made me REALIZE the past for the first time instead of only knowing about it. Again, a big NO to racism, fascism/nazism and their ever-luring ugly children, right-wing extremism/political neoconservatism!

  • @sendanor; thanks for your reaction. You're from the netherlands? I lived there some years, moved to belgium and in time if I see how Wilders is ranting on and on without making any sense. Too bad that 1/3 of Dutch population/voters don't see any similarities between 'peroxide blondie's' retoric hatespeech and the beginning of nazi era. I hope the Dutch get rid of him asap. How can politicians stay serious seeing him? He looks retarded with that hair and baby face ;)

  • @arafel1964 Hi friend, yes I am a Netherlands'resident. I would love to explain more in detail to you what the complex background ot Wilders' rise is, for the moment there are indeed parallels between our national- peroxidist (heehee) and the situation of the rise of the german NSDAP: xenophobia, Wilders’blunt and insulting way of speaking and his ever refusal to partake in any debate from opposing parties/organisation for which they invite him.

  • @arafel1964 As for the political hardship to give Wilders a fitting answer (and I do NOT mean a violent way, to be clear): that also has its roots in the fact that he always shoves away all criticism and ridiculization as the next way the 'leftist church (this term also confirms his total lack of historical knowledge)' uses to demonize him and to twist his words...well, you and I see the clear signs ot a new rightwing taboo-era, don't we?

  • @sendanor ; I know people blamed GW for his role in the Breivnik murders and he sure is responsible in some way for creating the atmosphere. Wilhelm Reich himself had no part in the 'KristalNacht' when jews and jewish stores were attacked and burned but he did play a role in creating the circumstances leading to this event. Yes, the similarities are there with the beginning nazipropaganda and censor and what GW does. He uses freedom of speech but when the opponent does he feels attacked, wtf

  • Die Fahnen hoch........................

  • Is it just me or is the main german guy played by Morriaty a bit ambiguous, it's like he wants to keep the evidence and then at the end he looks at the pictures that he wanted to keep and takes the poison pill

  • esta en espanol?

  • @manofgod30 It is not the intention of movies to get history right. What have you learnt from this movie ?

  • @manofgod30 You think you can learn history from a movie ?

  • I watched this mini series. It was heartbreaking. But the gist of the story is, everyone in this world is capable of blood thirst and history itself has proven it.

  • i remember watching this in 8th grade and its truly a remarkable story..

  • This serie was presented in Colombia, South América, in 1979, in spanish and more than one person cried in from of the black and white TV sets. I was 9 so my parents didn´t let me watch it ´cause it was too violent. It was so successfull, that it was repeated. They let me watch it this time. I didn´t understand it so well ´cause I was a child, but when I was an adult, 27 years old, I bought the book and it made me cry. If you have this serie in spanish, please send me a messagge.

  • Wurde Eichmann von den Juden ermordet ?

  • Why did part one have a name but the other parts didn't?

  • "im naturally sweet!"

  • thank you, thank you so much for uploading this mini-series!!! I've always wanted to watch Divided We Fall (Musíme si pomáhat) as well, but could never find it :(

  • This is a TV movie subject to interpretation!!!! The simple and direct question is Where is th evidence? Surely the world deserves and honest and truthful answer.

  • @ALEKHINE1927 An answer to what? I certainly hope the title of this movie needs no interpretation, or explanation.. The Nazis left perfect documentation, no mixed messages there... even to a simpleton..

  • @ALEKHINE1927 Typical "revisionist." Where is the evidence? There's more evidence for the Holocaust than perhaps any other event in world history -- including numerous Nazi documents and eyewitnesses. What makes your life so miserable that you have to spend it hating others? Save up some money, take a trip, get a girlfriend, live a little. My eye doctor was in the U.S. army during WWII. He was there when they liberated Dachau. It happened.

  • thank you, thank you thank you for uploading this!

  • "These camps were first presented as those in Germany, such as Dachau, Belsen, Buchenwald, Sachsenhausen, and Dora, but it was demonstrated that there had been no systematic extermination in those camps. Attention was then moved on to Auschwitz, Treblinka, Belzec, Chelmno, Jonoska, Tarnow, Ravensbrück, Mauthausen and Birkenau, which does not exhaust the list that appears to have been extended as needed." -- Columbia University professor Harry Elmer Barnes

  • AMERICAN JEWS DID NOTHING TO HELP 

  • i dont know ; i'll have to watch it all to judge then i'll comment again, but there's something about American things that makes this look more like Dallas, Roots & Little House On the Prairie all rolled into one than what happened in Europe

  • @kenfig You have to understand that this was the FIRST time that the Holocaust had been presented in dramatic form on television in a serious way (not like the Twilight Zone episodes). They couldn't make it too hard to watch and were treading on new ground. What they did do successfully was to introduce the Holocaust to America. I watched this show as an 8th grader and became hooked on the subject. I now teach world history to high school students. This program is tame, but powerful too!

  • realizatorzy filmu mają'' szczególne ''wyobrażenie o Berlinie lat 30 , aż mi sie śmiać chce.

  • One of the greatest efforts at illustrating the origination and implementation of the Final Solution of the The Jewish Question. The Holocaust...... In a league of its own.

  • Holocaust is a fact!Tones of clothes, hairs, bones, etc. of Jews, Polish, Romes after killed in german`s camps in Poland prove it. Real Jews of Abraham, remember that US Jews-the reachest could stop holocaust easilly but they did nothing as there was no political and financial profits of that. Survivals,80000, are still robbed by jewish "claims conference" and live in poverty.Holocaust is nowadays used in NWO propaganda to stop any voice against lucyferian order without God and Jesus Christ!

  • Thank you for uploading this. I watched it as a child and it's great to see such a quality film again.

  • Thanks for uploading this. I haven't seen it since around the time it came out and I was a child. It scared me. It's a good movie though because it makes us remember so that maybe something like this doesn't happen again.

  • Many, many thanks for this upload. I was about 14 when this series first aired in Gemany and it was only by this series, that I learned about the Holocaust. If I remember correctly, the term"Holocaust" was first used back then, before, it was called "the genocide committed to the jewish people". In the aftermath of "Holocaust", our TV and media were flooded with documentations, etc. about this issue. I think although the story is fictional, it covers the main aspects and the actors are stunning.

  • Meryl´s so beautiful!!!!! ;-) Thank u for uploading this!

  • Thanks for posting this!I had never seen it. Touching on many aspects of the holocaust, from the gradual escalation from antisemitic law to full genocide, covering early Germany,the Warsaw ghetto,theT4progam,Theresienst­adt,Auschwitz,Chelmno,Sobibor,­partisans,Babi-Yar, the ghastly experimentation to find the "best"way to kill huge numbers,even some of the German high command,it was an effort that largely succeeds with only minor inaccuracies for the sake of drama.Powerful and dignified.Watch it

  • I have this whole movie on DVD and its a very good movie

  • Ive just bought the novel a few weeks ago. I never stopped reading it ever since. Its an awesome feeling to watch after finishing the novel =)

  • that Heinz Muller needs a good punch

  • I remember when this originally aired. I still have the vision of the Jews being stripped naked and shot over and open pit engraved in my memory. NEVER AGAIN

  • this film really opened my eyes to what these people went through

  • Thank you thank you so much for uploading this! I was upset that I couldn't find the movie anywhere else but you, you are so kind for uploading this. Thankfully, I didn't have to look on the library and wait for weeks on end. 59 parts for that what..7 hour movie? That's nuts.

  • The movie is available on amazon.

  • Thank you for uploading this amazing drama

  • Meryl's so young and beautiful here.I've been wanting to see this for a long time and I'm very glad to finally have the chance to do so.

  • A very good Story to tell my childeren when they are older.

    WWII must never be forgotten.

  • This is a warning against any kind of neo-nazisme and any kind of fascisme. Nazists and fascists never change, fight them where ever you meet them.

  • I'm sry but I don't like it... the dialogues are silly... who wrote that actually?

  • i watch this a long long time ago.

    well done series on the holocaust. even though its american.

    thanks for posting !

  • Thank you for taking the time to post this very significant film..

    Regards.

    Susan

  • When this was first shown in Germany, police stations throughout the country were deluged with phone calls by people confessing to having committed atrocities on Crystal Night. They were informed by the authorities that as the statute of limitations had run out, nothing could be done.

  • vorrei ringraziare chi ha pubblicato questa serie la cercavo da tempo solo che non è in italiano non si potrebbe sottotitolarla grazie per chi mi vuole aiutare

  • Mi dispiace - il dvd non ha sottotitoli in italiano. : (

  • @kiwikatzkatz non c'e problema! grazie milla!

  • @maruska700 ciao maruska .

    Olocausto è stato pubblicato in un cofanetto di 3 vhs nei lontani anni '80 dalla deltavideo , una azienda che faceva in vhs Soprattutto film di seconda guerra mondiale nazismo e argomenti connessi ( a lei si deve la I versione vhs del Portiere di Notte della Cavani , le 12 vhs del telefilm-cult Ricordi di Guerra e molti docu di guerra ) ... si trovava fino al 1999 , quando anche la deltavideo , causa l inizio dell'era dvd , ha fallito . Ancora nessuna >>

  • @maruska700

    >> casa di distribuzione home video dvd ha acquisito o meglio ri-acquisito i diritti per l italia della miniserie per farne una versione dvd ... e questa è 1 vera vergogna ahimè . Io personalmente , che dirigo il memoriale della shoah in sardegna, ho passato in dvd per il settore video dell archivio le 3 vecchie vhs deltavideo . Nel frattempo , sto acquisendo il dvd originale dalla germania e dagli Usa , ma non ha sottotitoli Italiani ... a ogni modo ... visto che in Italia >>

  • @maruska700

    >> nessuno ha i diritti del film , in poche parole nulla osta un rivolgermi a una casa video che fa sottotitoli per chiedere di sottotitolarmi i 4 dvd della versione tedesca in Italiano ... cosi si ha una bella copia sottotitolata originale , diciamo diversa dai 3 dvd doppiati dai vecchi vhs che si vede nn hanno una immagine " pulita " ... Oppure si può tentare di chiedere alla Rai di ridare questo film per il giorno della memoria in modo da riregistrarlo su dvd ...

  • Thank you so much for posting this. I was 18 when I first watched this. I was captivated by it .... But as a youth other things distracted me. I will watch this now w/as much interest but NO distraction LOL.

    peace.

  • True. But they were not marked for extermination. Homosexuals could say they were "cured" and be released. But there was no "cure" for Jews, communist officials, or gypsies.

  • I love Meryl Streep!!!  She's amazing!

  • I agree that the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians just about the same thing that the Nazi's did to them but does that make the plight of those in Europe who suffered under the SS and less horrific? Keep in mind, it wasnt just Jews. Catholics, Socialists, Russians, Gypsies, etc.

  • Catholics, Socialists, and Russians were not marked for extermination (slave labor). Only the Jews, Communists and Gypsies were marked for extermination.

  • sure, they just starved the Socialists and Catholics too death

  • Remember that the Vatican signed the Concardant in 1933, giving the Nazis legal recognition in the political arena. The Nazis, according to the Vatican, were the last bastion of Christianity against Bolshevism. That does not sound likke they were victims of Nazism the same way Jews, Gypsies and Communists were. No Socailist or Catholics or Jehovah's Witnesses were killed at Sobibbor, Treblinka, Chelmno. Only Jews or Gypsies. At least the others had a slim chance of survival/escape.

  • no, Catholics werent directly targeted but devout individual Catholics who opposed the regime and Priest who preached against Hitler from the pulpit were eliminated. Case in point, Count Klaus von Stauffenberg, the dude who tried to blow Hitler up.  And yes indeed, the Church did recognize the Nazi's in exchange for guarantee's of the rights of Roman Catholics to worship and alot of other things, I would have to reread it. Of course, the Party violated those rights time and time again.

  • Which brings up the question, why didn't the Vatican defend those individual Catholis that stood up against the Nazis? Why didn't the Vatican ex-communicate those Cathole Nazis that were involved in the holocaust? They voiced their opposition to mercy killings and the Nazis backed down. Pope Pius XI was increasingly anti-Nazi before his death in 1939. Was his death suspisious, since Pope Pius XII was more friendly to Hitler? Why wasn't his xmas message of '42 more critical of the Nazis?

  • yes you're 100% right.

    they should remake a better film more close to the reality.

    a lot of politicians in USA and in Europe knew what happened to the jews in the camps but they didn't avoid the massacre !

    their silence helped the killer.

  • This series is the best, loved every chapter of it!!! The guy who criticized it was so unnecessary, a jew guy... the series showed who the jews suffered

  • thanks a lot x)

  • hey it captures the pain quite well. Dude, it's a good movie.

  • That fat Nazi was so creepy, right from the start.

  • he look like ricky gervais

  • One can clearly see the influence of The Godfather here.

  • Thank you so much for this; I have seen it several times and it never gets old. What an horrific period for mankind.

  • Thank you for posting this.

  • I heard of this movie but I never had a chance to see this until right now. Whoever uploaded this, thank you.

  • @sistaflav08 I haven't seen this movie (It was a made for tv movie) in decads. Just now stumbled across it. I want to see it again.

  • thank you thank you thank you! i saw this movie last year in school but have never been able to find it/watch it again! thank you so flipping much=))))))))))))))))

  • I am very glad of the oppoturnity to see this again - I saw it on the television in 1978 - or at least those parts I was allowed to watch.

    However some of the historical mistakes are glaring now e.g. talk of the Nuremburg laws (which were hastily put together in 1935), Hindenburg still alive, aggressive talk of Poland - Germany's ally then etc.. As I recall it gets worse so I won't dwell on them any longer.

  • Overall, the historical accuracy is not bad at all by the generally abysmal standards of television, but it is a pity they were so sloppy at fact-checking. In this opening scene, for example, it would have been easy to refer to Hindenburg in the past tense or even move the date back to 1934 when Hindenburg was still alive

  • Of course you are comparing and unless one knows what you are comparing it to then it is hard to say one way or the other.

    In my opinion the historical accuracy of this film is extremely abysmal, a couple of mistakes - OK but this is full of them.

    On the other hand the directors could argue the mistakes were in the book - which they are.

    But it was this film that put the Shoah into people's minds.

    I am grateful that it was posted, I watched it in one go in bed after falling off my bike.

  • According to Wikipedia, "the teleplay was written by novelist-producer Gerald Green, who LATER adapted the script into a novel" [my CAPs added]. The series was certainly influential in Germany where its basic message -how through many incremental steps a great civilized country came to perpetrate one of the greatest horrors of all times- survived intact and had a large positive impact, despite the historical errors. Even today the series still merits viewing, but the mistakes need to be noted.

  • So it is the book of the film in that case. I presume he wrote the teleplay for the producers.

  • I recall that at the time the film came out in 1978 the thing that bothered most people was the coincidences in the film.

    In Germany a call centre was opened to take messages. One caller said words to the effect of 'What happened to those people was bad, but it was necessary to protect the race. Heil Hitler.'

  • The "Heil Hitler" types were not going to be cured by this or anything on TV. What I think did change (reduce) was the sentiment (to the effect of): "This was bad, but we weren't involved, we had no idea it was going on" and "it was like what America did to the Indians" or what the Brits did to Dresden. In the meantime, the mistakes in this TV series are probably more apparent now than in '78, but in part because people were inspired to study the actual history.

  • Thanks for uploding the serie! I've bought it but it is in german and it doesn't have english audio, it's just crap!! I know german but I hate not hearing Meryls voice!

    Thanks again, I really want to see it! :)

  • Not really, it is just like saying "woman...this or...woman that..." As for herr, it is just like Sir or Mr. Uns fur dich, du bist ein idiot und eine entaeuschung der menschlichen rasse.

  • 0:36

    She´s so lovely :-*

  • PLEASE HELP... hello i found this when i was looking for a movie with a little boy named DAVID that was a jewish too and he escapes from the natzi but i don't know the name of the movie can some1 tell me plz??

  • Thank you very much for uploading this! =)

    I really want to see it! I think its going to be very good!

  • David Warner the actor chosen to play Heydrich seems a little too old for the role. Reinhard Heydrich was born in 1904 and died in 1942 at the age of 38, i dont think the actor here was a good choice for Heydrich.

  • David Warner was 37 in 1978, when this was first aired. He was actually younger than Heydrich was at the time of his death.

  • Really? He looks much older than 37 to me but nevertheless ty for the info

  • I think the idea was for the top brass Nazis to be British actors to distinguish them from the 'other' Germans.

    At least that is what I read in the paper 30 years ago when it was shown.

  • I like this music of Morton Gould.

    No Brasil quando foi exibido este seriado, foi sucesso na Rede Globo!. Grande filme, triste, porém não deixa de ter sua beleza. Imagino que os alemães da atualidade devam se envergonhar de tal atrocidade feita contra judeus, poloneses, ucranianos e de uma certa forma, a todos os povos do mundo!

  • Scrivo em ingles - nao me lembro muito bem do portugues!

    When this was shown Gustav Wagner from Sobibór was still alive in Brazil and under arrest there. Bit ironic in a way. Franz Stangl from Treblinka had been arrested in Brazil also.

  • Meryl Streep is at 36 seconds into this clip. She was truly hot.

  • I'm going to buy it, cause it's a good movie ;)

  • where is meryl in the credits?¿?

    .....

    ok

    hahaha,i can't stop this now!!!!

    i don't see the movie,but if meryl is in there is a good movie.hahaha

  • One of the best TV movies I ever seen

  • I watched this movie in 1979. I hope some day I find time to watch in this YouTube system again ! Some one has

    friedly posted all of them. Thanks !

  • When it comes to WOII, this is the most shocking movie ever made. Many scene's actually happend according to the Eichmann trial. Everthing from de the Kristalnacht to the gaschambers, how it all started and why, you can see in this masterpiece. Many former SS-men commited suicied after seeing this movie. This production shows us 2 sides of WOII, how someone makes a carreer and how others where victomiced in a world beyond the point of no return.

  • WOw Thanks Million!

    Meryl is amazing

  • Haha ' His Not Use To It In Public , Guess I Will Have To Change That' Haha Thats Funny :D

    Great Performance From Meryl :P

    Thanks FFor Uploading ;)

  • Thank you so much for posting I'm showing this to my children thanks again

  • We saw all the episodes in my history class - and then wrote a complete summary!

    Great series!

  • Alright, I'll play along just this once. What, according to your standards, *would* prove someone to have honestly and objectively studied the subject on an intellectual level? When they agree with you, perhaps? It is hard to argue with someone who simply calls you indoctrinated for having your own opinion. Who are you to judge my view or my ways of forming one, let alone proclaim me ignorant? Other than your accusing me of bias I haven't heard anything out of your mouth of your opinion at all.

  • Reply to Ivan, cont:

    (c) that while comments on the wider social and historical significance of this movie are appropriate, such posters ought to first (i) do background homework (as edgefire125 seems to have diligently tried to do) and (ii) watch more than the 1st few of 59 installments, and (d) that kiwikatzkatz would be well-advised to exercise available discretion and delete deliberately tangential posts from Holocaust denialists seeking to hijack the comment blogs with their distortions.

  • (Continuation)

    The historical importance of this Holocaust series is thus less its advancement of historical understanding (which many fine history books have done, however) than its having raised public awareness, particularly in Germany, as the MBC Museum TV site notes:

    According to pollsthis single television event had a significant effect on West Germans' understanding of this episode in the history of their country... breaking a thirty-five-year taboo on discussing Nazi atrocities.

  • Thanks for posting these installments. A significant series from a time when memorable movie music was still being written. Centered around two fictional families, this series naturally cannot encompass all the factual complexities of genocide in World War II. However, the Holocaust has been one of the most studied episodes in human history, and -though many debates remain- no serious scholar doubts that millions of European Jews were deliberately killed. (To be continued in a further comment).

  • BenBarfuss. What qualifications must one have in order to be classified as a serious scholar?

  • IvanAtlas, I'd say in reply (a) that serious scholarship includes obtaining relevant background training in the field, looking at controversial historical issues from multiple perspectives, objectively examining a wide range of available evidence, and publishing one's findings in clear, footnoted peer-reviewed works (4 steps few climate change denialists follow, for example),

    (b) that other forums are better suited than comment blogs to a fictional movie for discussing such issues, (to be cont)

  • You have a lot of nerve calling me indoctrinated and accusing me of having done no independent research on the subject. I studied Jewish Studies at university as well as a whole seminar on the Second World War, I watch every documentary I can find - even the revisionist ones - and none of them convinced me that the Holocaust was NOT an atrocity, a black spot on humankind's history. You're welcome to provide sources that show, in an 'open', 'unbiased' and 'objective' way, that mass murder is OK.

  • Ghoulrasmussen, either you are ignorant and listen to too many lectures by Davey Duke and his white robed friends or you are a deluded racist. In the case of the later, there is no way that you are ever going to be convinced so forget about it.

  • mainestategop. Don't you think that term "racist" is thrown around a little too much these days?

  • So, let me get this straight. Your one major beef with the documentation is the Six Million number? Somehow the tragedy is less great if the number is incorrect? Where exactly does a less large number NEGATE the FACT of the Nazis systematically eradicating an entire race? Besides, I think the six million figure is wrong also. I think the total is even higher. Hell, my mother's family stopped counting after 80. STOPPED COUNTING. Stop focusing your life on a number and start looking at the people.

  • Yet you deny they were gassed. You deny the Nazis were solely responsible for the deliberate annihilation of an entire race. EVEN IF the number were somehow less great than said - although where did those other dead go then? - it still doesn't lessen the impact and atrocity of the fact of it, which is the reason why people are taught about the Holocaust in the first place - not to relay facts and figures, but to impress upon everyone the INEXCUSABLE horror of one people murdering another.

  • I don't know who you are. I'll probably never meet you. So maybe you don't believe I exist, either. But I am 22 years old. I am a girl and I am the grandchild of two Holocaust survivors. Their family was not so lucky. To see you speak like this about people that I KNOW died in the Holocaust, that were killed by the Nazis, stills my blood. You weren't alive then. They were. If you can't believe them, then don't believe in my existence either. Because I would not be alive if it weren't for theirs.

  • ohh thanks .. i just posted few minutes in other video to upload the serie ..

    thanks

  • Do you realize how stupid you sound? Really. You come across as a moron. Denying a well-documented moment in history? Yeah, 9/11 didn't really happen either. Nor the Vietnam War. All rubbish. Funny how the wool has been pulled over all our eyes. Idiot.

  • And the Earth is flat! Just ask the Flat Earth Society, they got proof for that!

  • And what happened to the 6 000 000 jews? Some gigantic hoax to administrate. Btw why not go on and suggest that Hitler and Mein Kampf is a myth as well?

  • Wake up man! There are numbers of photographs and films (taken by SS and military personnel), testimonies of survivors, Allied liberators as well as from many perpetrators themselves and from Nazi documentation media and their war-time propaganda. Not to mention the minutes from the Wannsee conference.

  • Don't mind if they hurry. There's enough revisionist rubbish on the Internet already. No other event in world history is as well-documented as The Holocaust.
