I agree with you on that brother. I thought that I knew something about the Holocaust, until I watched a documentary on Treblinka last night. As a matter of fact, um going to watch some more tonight. I am a history buff. Peace out.
And Instagram did "Eva Stories" for the new social media types. They posted Instagram stories from Eva's point of view from her just being a lil kid to the Nazis coming into their town
I have wanted to go, from a historical interest, but it's not an easy travel spot from the U.S. And it's a part of history that should never be whitewashed or forgotten.
Ken Burns is very cool for sharing his gift with the world, hours of quality education. Respect. Camp talks, spent my 45 Bday 2022 in Dachau. It felt a little commercialized, but its all real and there. The historian was able to give both sides of the story from history standpoint. Band of Brothers tour, Stephen Ambrose tours. Took a 1000 pictures to relive in my head. Amazing.
Right after WWII (Remember I'm 86) I saw many of the prisoners who immigrated to the US (my south Bronx Jewish neighborhood) who had survived "the death camps" . They all had their prisoner Identification number tattooed on their arm. 'NEVER AGAIN"....
I live in Montreal, but I was born in Krakow. It has always been a national duty there to be informed about the Holocaust. We would get that in school, we would get that at home. It was simply a moral duty for everyone. Even in grade school we were shown war documentaries, with all the details. At home everyone's family had gone through bigger or smaller horrors, so every child born after the war was told of firsthand experiences by one's close family members. My mother's cousin, who was also my godmother, spent 3.5 years at Auschwitz. She survived and lived into her 90's. She would not talk much about what she went through, although she did agree to be interviewed by the BBC. She did talk about the work she did there, and how close that was to the railway tracks leading to the gas chambers. where Mengele was directing who would be executed immediately and who would be spared either to work in the camp, or for his experiments. I have been to Auschwitz 4 times by now. First time it was my father who took me there. The other ones were when I would take my Canadian friends, who were visiting Poland, to see the camp. I have made it my duty to do that. It is quite likely I will go again. It is a very special experience to take the tour, and then at the end find a solitary spot among the barracks, and absorb what one just saw and heard.
