Subject: Good God...... This is simply an awful thing to watch. But it's the kind of thing that really really needs to be seen by people, especially during days like these when you see fascist, or Neo Nazi rallies getting frequent.

Gen. Eisenhower........ can't say I respect enough.



5 Stars.

A video that shows the extent of human imagination and innovation, put towards this.......

Subject: Important Historical Record (Rating reflects films importance)



This significantly disturbing film is an important historical record of not only the brutal and inhuman actions of the Nazis towards classes and races of human beings, but as the film points out, also to Allied military personnel during the crisis of WWII. The conceit and hubris which could drive a whole nation into believing it could perpetrate crimes like this and then would somehow arrive at an end of a worldwide conflict without consequences is the most stunning display of mentally deranged willful ignorance humanity has ever witnessed. One can only hope this will never bear repeating.

Subject: Why this archive exists, and why it matters deeply. 1) This documentary record was ordered by General Eisenhower because he realized that -- without a doubt -- one day there would be systematic attempts to deny this Mass Murder.



2) This was not just Mass Murder, but Genocide on an industrialized scale with industrialized methods.



(The Nazi's first tried shooting thousand by firing squads, then dumping the bodies into mass graves. This wasn't "efficient" enough for the numbers they wished to kill)



3) The importance of archives like this is to remind would-be mass murderers in the present day that no amount of revisionist history will succeed in covering their crimes.



And there is deterrance in this.





THOSE WITH AGENDAS CAN DEPLOY ALL KINDS OF SEMANTIC TACTICS



They can call attention to the yet larger casualties of WWII — both civilian and military. Or the many horrific massacres found in history. While true, this is also diversionary.



They debate the numbers actually killed in the death camps.



But anyone who sees this film understands viscerally -- in their gut -- that this was murder on a massive scale.

Subject: huh? Sorry Reynaldo but this film and this history is never going to go away. Every new generation must learn what was done to these innocent humans. For it to "wear thin" on you says more about you than it does about these films. - April 3, 2015huh?
