Netanyahu at Auschwitz: The World Ignored Our Annihilation

editor 19 June 2013

By Zach Pontz.. The world stood by as millions of Jews were being slaughtered, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday (June 13, 2013), vowing that Israel would “do whatever is necessary to prevent another holocaust.”

Speaking at the Auschwitz death camp during the opening of a new pavilion, Netanyahu said:

“The leaders of the Allies knew about the Holocaust in real time. They understood exactly what was happening in the death camps. They were asked to act, they could have acted, and they did not. (more…)

By Christians for Israel Italy.. This is the story of a child, Tomas Geve, who was deported to Auschwitz in June 1943 with his mother who perished in the camp.

Dutch Holocaust Survivor – “I Saw How The Mufti Of Jerusalem Paid A Visit To Auschwitz-Monowitz”

editor 20 March 2012

By Emerson Vermaat.. It was a very hot day in June or July 1944 when I was at work in Monowitz, also known as Auschwitz III. And then I suddenly noticed a group of people who looked like actors. They were wearing long robes and strange headgear. Occasionally, internees did perform a play in the camp. I wanted to find out myself and as I walked towards that group I was stopped by a high ranking SS-officer whom I didn’t know. He was from the main camp (Auschwitz I) or Birkenau (Auschwitz II).

Death March, Tisha B’Av 1944

editor 23 March 2010

By Yaakov Astor…Facing defeat, the Nazis marched 6,000 Jews. A survivor’s account. Between 1939 and 1945 hundreds of thousands of Jews perished in death marches. This was especially true in the last year of the war as the Third Reich crumbled. Even when it was clear that Hitler’s Germany was doomed, the Nazis continued to march hapless Jewish prisoners aimlessly and mercilessly from one place to another. (more…)

Real film footage of liberation camps

editor 26 January 2010

Sixty years ago, in the spring of 1945, Allied forces liberating Europe found evidence of atrocities which have tortured the world’s conscience ever since. As the troops entered the German concentration camps, they made a systematic film record of what they saw. Work began in the summer of 1945 on the documentary, but the film was left unfinished. FRONTLINE found it stored in a vault of London’s Imperial War Museum and, in 1985, broadcast it for the first time using the title the Imperial War Museum gave it, ‘Memory of the Camps. Follow the link to the documentairy.
