Every time I see images like the ones in this series I have a difficult time reconciling that this took place nearly in my lifetime. Anyone who thinks this has been seen and talked about enough and that it can't ever happen again need only to look at what's happening right now to the Uyghurs in China.

Ken Burns: Holocaust series on PBS speaks to today's America

3 part documentary.  Premiering Sept 18, 19, 20, 2022

_________________________________________________

Ken Burns s
aid he opens with "a young, beautiful German woman leaning out a window and her parents or two other people come into the frame. And you're hearing that there were 9 million Jews in Europe in 1933. By 1945, two out of three are dead."

" "I will not work on a more important film," Burns told me during our half-hour phone interview. 

"It might be possible to look back at 'The Civil War' and World War II and 'The Roosevelts' ... and say they might be equal. But I will not work on a more important film than this ... in terms of gravity of the subject

Photographer Herman Heukels, Nazi photographer

 

 

“We know that the Germans used photography as a weapon, and they invested a great deal in propaganda photography,” said Sheryl Silver Ochayon, program director for Echoes & Reflections, an educational arm of Yad Vashem World Holocaust Remembrance Center in Israel.

“Photographs never killed anyone,” she added, “but what photographs can do is they can justify an ideology. If you present your victims as low or passive, or like vermin, you can justify a genocidal plan of action, as the Germans did.”

National Geographic channel, History channel,... are full of documentary movies related to nazi germany and mainly holocaust. What almost all of them always fail to tell is how much slavic people died in camps. My grandfather was one of lucky survivors.

Ropo54,
I had not seen this whole post, ever. Thanks for your thoughts and photos.
Horrific as it may be, it still needs witnesses.
Best,
