Belzec - the camp

[firefox666moll]

Belzec , rude and crude , the experimental camp , truly primitive but lethal , this is where the human race went insane , the first fixed exclusive killing factories in human history , what they learnt here they took to Sobbibor & treblinka , then treblinka gave the world the first children's rape house for ss officers , junior joy division , man's second step to a more sickening madness ,

[fendweller]

Crikey - you schlepped Irving with you, by the sound of it. What did he make of it? Did he do a tour of all the sites with you? I've seen Auschwitz videos you did featuring him but hadn't realised he came along to other places.

[alanheath]

@fendweller I think you had better ask him what he thought of it. I took him to Sobibór, Treblinka and Majdanek as well - he also stayed at my flat at the same time as a death camp escapee.

[err230]

Belzec was arguably the most efficient death camp in all of Nazi germany during its brief time in operation. (there are only 2 known survivors!) at other camps, inmates were sometimes able to escape, but not at Belzec!! it was a pure killing machine which was what Hitler wanted.

[MJJLWolf]

I've read that Belzec is the least known of the major death camps because only one or two Jews survived. Is this true and are they still alive?

[alanheath]

There were two known escapees alive at the end of the war. One was killed in 1945, the other lived in Canada until 1963.

[DumbNJKids]

@MJJLWolf there were only 2 survivors

[nukeseeker]

Nazi documents and records kept indicate that approximatly 434,500 Jews where distroyed at Belzec by gas and burning in it's 9 months of operation, spanning from March to December, 1942

I have read many many WW11 stories of survival, HORROR, starvation, unspeakable HORROR on and on..These stories have changed me for the better.. I am always GRATEFUL every minute of each day..I never went a day without food in my 60 years.I am so Blessed and I admire and LOVE all war heros and survivors..I dont understand how 1 human person can treat and abuse another person so horribly war or not...I love Israel

[40AcreMule]

You are an incredibly deluded and brainwashed person. I feel sorry for how completely you've been roped into the Zionist lies.

[nukeseeker]

They did escavations on the Belzec site in 1998 and uncovered dozens upon dozens of massive pits full of still decomposing bodies, bones, caked human fat, and thousands and thousands of tons of human ash.

thousands of tons of profound physical evidance, disproving your theory of these "zionist lies."

[alanheath]

I was there before then. Pieces of bones were scattered throughout the area behind the gas chambers were a bone mill had been installed.

Two bodies in two entire graves were not even destroyed.

[maggiethefox]

Lunatic. Mule is just about right name for a cretin like you. Bonehead....

[maggiethefox]

Hi idiot. I see you poked your fetid nose of intellectual default in here. Pity that. You pollute...

[SeryiVolk2009]

@asia712 - How is loving Israel compatible with remembering victims of war crimes and injustice when it was itself built on terrorism,ethnic cleansing and massacres?

The dreadful irony is that the IDF holds ceremonies at former death camps when it is notorious for committing numerous abuses of its own.

They dishonour the dead so long as they fail to live up to both international law and the democracy they proclaim while denying it to others.

Poor people, may they rest in peace.

For those that like to complain about the poor quality of my films this is your chance to have some input.

My Sony Cybershot - used for all films here but one - has given up on me. I do not want to buy a video camera - just a compact camera which I can carry around in my pocket.

What camera should I buy and why?

[MBeniowski]

I recently bought Sony DCR-SR72, handycam with hard drive disc - 60GB, and optical zoom x 2000. I am very pleased with it, works very well, very stable, zoom is amazing, it's better than binoculars. The only problem is that the standard battery lasts only about 90 mins, good idea to get better one instead.

YouTube always decreases a quality of clips - even if you use HD it will come up as blurred something...

[MBeniowski]

By the way my family lives just next door, in the village called Narol/Lipsko. There is a nice baroque church there I am sure you would like to see, with some interesting wall inscriptions from 18th century...

Have you passed by the place by any chance?

Greetings

[alanheath]

That sounds really good.

Only I have since bought a Samsung L73 but I am very pleased with it!

[smellwig]

They poured concrete over the site of the mass graves as a memorial to the victims? What a fantastic way to help visitors visualize the scale of mass murder that took place here! Plus, it makes any forensic investigation next to impossible so Belzec won't be exposed as a hoax like Treblinka was.

[alanheath]

Treblinka has never been exposed as a hoax. Unless it happened in the last few hours and I know nothing about it.

The mass graves were the subject of archaelogical digs from 1998 - 2003 and were very well documented.

[alanheath]

Why don't you read the results of the Belzec excavations which are widely available. You can also see a small part of the results of the Chelmno excavations here on videos I have posted.

Once more deniers are proved to be liars.

[rearly62]

@alanheath

The most complete assessment of the archaeological evidence from Belzec is the research carried out by R. O'Neill between 1997 and 2000, it was written up in 2006 check Archaeological Investigations on website.(holocaustresearchproj­ect(.)­org/ar/modern/archrevie­w)

[alanheath]

@rearly62 Yes, thanks. I know Mr O'Neil! The link is very useful.

[Juberoos]

I'm sorry, but I honestly cannot fathom why ANYONE would think the Holocaust was a hoax.

[alanheath]

People claim the holocaust is a hoax in order to make money or in order to poke fun at old people who went through it. There is no other reason. No holocaust denier has ever come forward who was emotionally and psychologically stable.

[MayeCreations]

alan: I know you are just giving reasons for why people try and debunk or deny the Holocaust. I mean absolutely no offense to you, however, who in their right mind would want to poke fun at anyone who went through something so heinous such as this? It's rhetorical, people hate and some don't even understand why. It's mind-boggling to know people are that ignorant. God Bless those souls who suffered so greatly in any genocide on this Earth. Peace...

[ccmm53095]

Do you think Holocaust deniers might also be trying to whitewash the Fascist ideology and make it seem like an acceptable alternative to mainstream politics.

[alanheath]

That has been put forward as a theory but I dont think that this is the case. All denier liars I have heard of have done it purely out of racism, to make money or because of their own psychological and emotional problems. There is no other reason that I can see.

[ccmm53095]

That would make some sense, as often times you cross paths with somewhat unstable people who just have a tendancy to support conspiracy theories.

[celticfc4eva]

God bless all the victims of the nazi scum, may they rest in peace
