[AllieCat356]

the nazis should have all died in crib fires.

[rczerpak49]

germany did not yet pay for what they did to humanity. they still have to be accountable. never in the history of humanity did such beasts walk the earth in the name of germany

[cicojas]

This song brings tears to my eyes and great sadness to my soul every time a hear it or I song it.

I'm German and I strongly believe that this could have been prevented if people at the time had done more! This will be a black spot on my country's history for all eternity, as it should be! That is the German's punishment for doing nothing. It breaks my heart because I don't understand how and my country allowed this!

[PaleHearse]

It's a black spot for them only.. not for Germany.

I can tell you here in the US there is no animosity towards the German people for the acts of the grandfathers. It is easy to sit in jugment of their generation without having lived it.

As with all in the past, we learn from it lessons we pray will carry us into the future with more open eyes.

Be well... and simply do what we here do. Remember.

[dsperlin]

Unfortunately yes, however we must look and search for those few even in Germany that did rise up against the Holocaust, like Dietrich Bonhoffer. I am a German Jew and as such, although the Holocaust took my whole family away, it makes me want to cherish those good things about where I come from and look harder to remember them,

[siewertje]

This Should Never Be Forgotten :S

Beautiful song

[buddmar]

I love Mandy Patimkin's rendition of "Oyfn Pripitchik" above all others.

[artisanrox]

Thank you for all you do, Ephraim.

[Halo3Satan]

I am German and I am extremely sorry for what any of my ancestors or ancestors allies have done from hitlers brainwashings.But i should not blaim one man we ourselves could of had the will to stop.This is my sencirest appologize to the Jewish people.

[jewamen]

I don't speak for the Jewish world, nor any of my family were victims of the holocaust. But I speak this from my heart and say I forgive for any and all crimes that your ancestor may have committed. Thank you.

[ur1sob2001]

jewamen,you have no right to forgive,especially since you havent suffer at all,there is no kapara for the nazis and the german volk,murderers that they are.remember,parshat zachor,where we are commanded by god almighty never to forget what amalek did to the jews,especially,we shouldnt forgive the krauts=german nazis,yemach shmam,

[jewamen]

@ur1sob2001 The Holocaust effects every jew, even the ones who weren't affected. It is our duty as both Jew and as Human being's to forgive. I choose forgive, both to Germany as a Nation and the German people. However as I choose to forgive the people and the nation, I choose not to forgive the German government, no matter what form it takes. G-d wanted us to forgive and to never to forget. I have met Germans sometimes that are more human than meets the eye. Even Rommel hated Hitler.

[ANTOONMAKA]

@Halo3Satan C'est 3% du peuple allemand qui.... 3% dangereux et assasins!

[gemmi1994]

what is the name of this tune?

[sionmario]

Est ce qu'il faut pleurer?

[sionmario]

Bon... Faut se mettre à pleurer je suppose? Qu'est ce qui se passe si je pleure pas? C'est du nombrilisme et rien d'autre! S'acharner sur son sort, et oublier la merde que vous avez causé dans le monde qui est, soit dit en passant, pas mal pire que ce que vous avez vécu!

[imjewishsodeal]

this was a very sad time! WE WILL NEVER FORGET!

[jpaportvale]

many were persecuted among them jehovahs witnesses then called bible students.

[dEmUeTiGeRsUeNdEr]

never again ? read the Bible, there will come a time similar to the holocaust but much more dreadfullier

[twilite4life]

i learned about the holocaust, and my teacher said that they had death marches. ITS REALLY SAD. They also beat up people on the street and killed them. Not only that, they made kids slaves and killed them too. They all had to take cover at 2:26 and some dead at 2:26...

This is all too sad.

But...Hitler was not a bad man, ppl say he was becuz of the holocaust, but hes not. Its what he did that was bad, not him...

[JewishViking]

People must don't forget about it! Never again! Beautiful video!

[seanreillyireland]

Sir, my thanks and respect to you for allowing my comments to be posted. You didn't have to and they don't follow the general line here. So thanks you.

What was in my first post that isn't here, is:

I have fought for the Holocaust argument against deniers, most recently in the Bishop Williamson argument.

My argument is simple. What happened to all the little children who went to the camps? What was their intended fate?

Of course they were sent there to die.

Respect, Sean

[seanreillyireland]

Incidentally, I didn't go out looking for this topic, I was listening to an old Alex Chilton song called 'holocaust' from the early 70's about a lady who had stumbled upon a downward spiral and this video came up.

[seanreillyireland]

Continued...

And yet, I find this video exclusive. The German people suffered horrendously in this war. There were the horrendous sufferings in the Ukraine, and during the war in Yugoslavia and throughout Russia and Poland.

We need to move away from this picture of sole Jewish suffering and start understanding that it has happened elsewhere and to the same levels.

Don't be afraid to do this.

[Hvngfun1]

Are you kidding me???

[anmifelavi]

Thank you! I feel the same way.

[Karenjade]

So, by your way of thinking, the Jewish people have no right to take Kaddish to remember and mourn one of the worst incidents of genocides against them? True, the war brought suffering on pretty much everybody and that should be remembered and mourned too, but don't forget who were the nazis primary targets.

[Karenjade]

There's no denying WW2 caused suffering for many and not just the Jewish people, but how did it all start? With the nazis hijacking Germany in order to attempt to grab up all of Europe, and eventually the rest of the world, to murder anyone they deemed 'undesirable'. And who do you think were the nazis prime targets? I'd say the Jewish people have every right to remember and mourn.

[ANTOONMAKA]

@Karenjade relire "Mein Kampf" tout est dit!

[reginaDexant]

Beautiful video. How can I entreat you not to think of the Pope, Hitler and his followers as Christians? Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the lif of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindess of their heart: who being past all feeling have given themselves over to lasciviousness to work all uncleaness with greediness. BUT WE HAVE NOT SO LEARNED CHRIST. EPHESIANS 4;18-20.

[ANTOONMAKA]

Héla e ^lus en plus cet antisémitisme... et enconre depuis d'Israël se défend!!

[omahishere]

Reb Ephraim What a moving vidio. Virtual Yeshiva is also a blessing to to us all so we can attend classes and learn. Keep up the wonderful work you and the Rabbi's are doing Mazel Tov. Sarah E

[elirok]

[TALCE1]

Excellent video. Very well done.

[LaPaika]

it makes me cry... it's so so saddddd!!!

[juneracheli]

A video like this should inspire all Yidden to come back to HaShem.

[chruiz7]

Puto nazismo de mierdaaa!!!! Hueles a podedumbre....muere, muere...muere... Nazis: morir y no volvais Nunca Nunca a existir. Vivan todos los pueblos de la tierra..libres y en Paz.

[Lucy0891]

Thanks :D

[Lucy0891]

What is the name of the 1st song?

[RebEphraim]

Its a yiddish tune called Oifn Pripitchik. This beautiful rendition is by Mandy Patinkin. The translation in English is:

A flame burns in the fireplace and the room is warm. The teacher drills the children in the aleph-bayz. When you grow older you will understand that this alphabet contains the tears of our people.

[HUSKY57887]

@RebEphraim Thanks for the translation.

[Peterpunk80]

What a great video that was...Having lost 4 close relatives-whom I never met-in Auschwitz, I have to admit that It's very difficult for me to watch all those documentaries,so hard indeed...

[SeanGolan]

my eyes are wet...Darkness is with us always - we must remain vigilant, always. Very well done video, respectful presentation.

[prinzeugen7]

I'm not a Jew, I'm not a nazi, I'm not a racist. I'm human and I have soul, heart and honest. I'm from Croatia. I'm Arian and I have little simpathy for Germany. But, this is shame for all Arian race. We must shame of that. Long live Medinat Yisreel!

[ReesTVideos]

May god the souls of all races who suffered from the nazis.

From a english Christian

[carreraGRL]

TO ALL MY BELOVED JEWISH BROTHERS AND SISTERS: May God rest the souls of all the 6 million jews who suffered in the holocaust.. from your christian-arab sister

[Jamsie567]

JERUSALEM - The e-mails from grateful students arrived soon after Liviu Librescu was shot to death, telling how the Holocaust survivor barricaded the doorway of his Virginia Tech classroom and saved their lives at the cost of his own Librescu, an Israeli engineering and math lecturer who survived the Nazi killings and later escaped from Communist Romania, was one of several foreign victims of Monday's shootings, which coincided with Israel's Holocaust remembrance day.

[elsoncanlas]

And have pity to those who knew so little and are overcome by darkness, just driven in their ignorance by people who jeer and flout the truth, denying that there was no Holacaust. Livrescu lived to tell his history only to be taken away so suddenly, sealing the truth with his own blood.

[Amerasu0]

Never again!

[Fuzzycop]

Very tastefully done. Chazak v'ameets!

[Bruce88keys]

NEVER AGAIN

[matisforever]

6 million jews did die, it was the german hatred toward non aryan people

[beta876]

Long life Israel!

[Drachmasorcia]

Never again! I carry with me the Star of David I don't know why or even if I am right, but I feel that I carry it with me to never forget those that perished in the Holocaust.

[RebEphraim]

Oifn pripitchik brent a fayerl un in shtub iz heys

Un der rebe lerent kleyneh kinderlach dem aleph bayz

Zeyt zhe kinderlach gedenktzhe tayere vos ir lerent da

Zogtshe noch amol un takeh noch amol kometz aleph a

A flame burns in the fireplace and the room is warm. The teacher drills the children in the aleph-bayz. When you grow older you will understand that this alphabet contains the tears of our people.

[matisforever]

can have the english lyrics please? thanks

[matisforever]

NEVER AGAIAN

HOPE THE WORLD DOESNT LOOK THE OTHER WAY AGAIN.

this brings tears to my eyes and great sadness to my heart

[petronius68]

Wrong. The world looks the other way: Cambodia, Rwanda, Darfour, are only a few....

[beta876]

I hope Israel on the list too. Dah!

[matisforever]

this is why we need better world leaders to look after the defensless, ex. Israel rescuing the Ethiopian Jews from genocide.
