There were no SS physicians or doctors. They were not researchers. They were torturers, demented mentally and morally corrupt animals.
Being ruled under dictatorship , very hard to go against those in charge, especially on own. During this.German citizen also suffered, to hide others you need to have something to give. I guess on farms it was a bit easier. I can understand this behaviour self preservation. however I will never understand the treatment of the survivors. Thanks for great shows.
Germans were building a concentration camp for children in Łódź. The German Nazi camp for Polish children in Łódź (1942–1945) Preventive camp for young Poles of the Security Police in Łódź (German: Polen-Jugendverwahrlager der Sicherheitspolizei in Litzmannstadt), also colloquially Kinder-KL Litzmannstadt Kinder-KL – a camp intended for Polish children and youth from 6 to 16 years of age. It was established on December 1, 1942, and the first transport of prisoners arrived on December 11, 1942. It operated until the end of the German occupation in Łódź, until January 19, 1945. The Germans considered solving the problem of Polish children and youth in Polish territories incorporated into the Third Reich. Homeless, caught in petty theft, smuggling and street trading. Also orphans of parents killed or arrested by the Nazis. Until then, they were placed together with German children in the orphanages or other similar facilities that had been operating up to that time. The original source for taking up this issue should be considered the earlier order on the separation of Poles from Germans in occupied territories under any conditions. The necessity for the camp was sanctioned by the order of Heinrich Himmler of November 28, 1941. Initially intended for children and youth from 8 to 16 years of age, however, this age limit was quickly lowered to 6 years of age, unconfirmed information indicates that younger children were also temporarily detained here – from 2 years of age. So, you will certainly find the rest on the Polish Wikipedia.

Rest in peace to all the lives lost
My sister and 3 brothers all experienced the war in England. They remembered Andersen shelters, air raids, bombed out neighborhoods, black outs, rationing, and some pretty horrific tales of being straffed by planes on their way to school. I heard many stories, even though being born just after the war, during rebuilding/rationing, I feel like I lived the terror myself thru their stories. They were not relocated. I don't know why. We lived in Wiltshire. And no family members died. We were very, very lucky. After the war, my parents saved money for the ocean passage and we all left England for the US. My brilliant sister married an American GI, enabling our transition. Like you said in the end: rebuilt, heal, move on. Great video though very sad. I loved the touch at the end, where you struggle with Lithuania. Its tricky!
It's actually pronounced like this 😂😂😂😂 it's OK it's fine. People get triggered so easy. Tell your story
My school had a gentleman who would come and till us about his time at one of the worst concentration camp, he even wrote a book about it a very good but short book, I read that book twice and must say it was a very heavy book to read. Sadly I don't think the book was ever translated to english. We, my class, was later told that this gentleman had to take heavy sleeping pills after every time had vist schools to talk about his time in the death camp. He was very nice. And his life story was very interesting horrible but interesting. He passed away soon 5 years ago.
My school and other school use to travel to the death camp and other places to see it as a school trip and to never forget the history.
Great video
WW2 was a terrible time for many people all over Europe. Even people who were not directly targeted by the Nazis still suffered from starvation, living through air raids and sometimes losing their homes in them, and suffering shortages of food, clothing and fuel, since the Nazis took whatever they wanted from the countries they occupied, and left very little for the citizens. My mom was born in France in April 1940, two months before the Nazis marched into the country. She spent the first five years of her life in wartime, and her early childhood memories consisted of air raids, near-starvation and Nazis patrolling the streets. And even after the war ended, there was still the difficult postwar period as the country struggled with recovering its economy, and rationing of certain goods and electricity lasted for several years afterward. My mom said that after the war, NOBODY wanted to talk about it; it was not discussed at school or elsewhere, which meant that people who had war-related trauma issues were basically forced to suppress them.
There was also a less well-known group of children who suffered too. In some of the occupied countries, children with blond hair and blue eyes were essentially kidnapped from their parents, taken to re-education centers where they had new identities forced on them, and were made to learn German. When they were sufficiently considered "Germanized," they were adopted out to German families. After the war, the children in this group who had survived were reunited with their families, and depending on how young they had been when they were "re-educated", they had a difficult time returning to their former identities and speaking their native tongue once more, and were traumatized by being forcibly separated from the families they had bonded with. I can't imagine how horrible this must have been for those children, especially if they were returned to a place where there was still a lot of resentment against the Nazis!
Thanks 4 another fantastic video 📸 now time 2 buckle up and get stuck in as always I've smashed the like button 😊
The kindertransport and what the narnia children are is not the same thing. Kindertransport was a specific programme to bring children from abroad to the UK in nazi controlled areas. The narnia children are a depiction of evacuees, which was a British children evacuee programme where they'd be escorted to rural areas from places at high risk of nazi Germany bombing.
British children that lived in central London/in the city, got sent to the country or if his parents worked to help the war effort…
The children from the Narnia books, where one of the two above..
You did some very good research there! Congratulations from Austria
In 5th grade we had a teacher at Crum High School that taught all about Hitler and WW2. He didn't teach that it was wrong. He was a hidden NAZI. Once children started talking about it to their parents and other teachers big questions came up. After some investigation by school board and staff and law enforcement he was soon removed. I'm just wondering if anyone on here ever experienced anything like this. His name was Mr. York.
I'm from Michigan and had the privilege to hear a survivor speak. It was awful and amazing to hear from his perspective. Especially since my great grandfather was an SS agent and my grandmother was in one of Hitler's special schools and received an orange from him during school one day. (I wish I had more stories for you, but my family was pretty closed mouth.)
I never comment on YouTube but this is seriously a brilliant history channel, ive been following for a few months now and I’ve learnt so much on here compared to some of the bigger channels. So much time, compassion and empathy for these children and people affected by your stories goes into your research and it really shines through. Cudos to you, hope you’ve had a great new year so far and can’t wait to see your future projects for 2025! ❤
You're doing a fantastic job! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (air carpet target dish off jeans toilet sweet piano spoil fruit essay). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
The kids in the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe were fleeing inner city London (which was being bombed mercilessly) for the safer British countryside.
Edit: looks like several others have already corrected this.
Gosh all of this is so heartbreaking! Those poor kids 😔
Love your channel ❤
This is so incredibly sad. All of these kids that were abused, worked to death or just killed – my gosh!!!! The war children were definitely innocent victims. What a dark time.
If you want to read kids books about evacuated British kids I can tell you about Michelle Magorian Good night Mister Tom about a poor boy from London and Back home about a girl who is evacuated to the USA and comes back after 5 years feeling a lot more American than British. Love those books. Still read them in my old age!
I think you've got some things confused, do you have a history editor? It may be a help. For instance, the Kinder Transport was transporting children out of Germany to other countries especially European countries, and the amazing thing is that they were able to get more Jewish children out. You compared it to the Narnia kids, but those are the English evacuation of children from the cities to the countryside in order to avoid bombings (another example of this is in the Nanny McPhee second movie, and the second Peter Pan movie.) The sterilization of deaf children was actually done in just about every country and 'inherited deafness' was spoken about in every country as something that should be 'bred out', as awful as that is. It was a very popular idea, and part of believing the whole eugenics and evolution. People like Jack London strongly pushed for these things, and even America forced sterilized inherited deaf children (again, awful, but far more widespread.)
A good book I'm reading at the moment is "The Gentle House" By Anna Ross Perrot. In the book, she becomes foster mother of a displaced person, and I had hoped you'd touch on the displaced people act in the US and how these kids came into America and how disturbed they were. He was a German orphan, moved to Lithuania, and Russia I believe it was, the result of 'wolf children' movements to try and save these orphans. It's a wonderful book.
