I know lots of people are going to disagree we me on this but people should know about the holocaust because it actually happened and lot of people died and even more were affected by it.

I can't believe how many people there are now that deny the holocaust. Conspiracy theories have infected the brains of humanity. Racism still pervades and flourishes under right wing leaders. We all need to collectively say, "never again"! Not one more genocide. We need to embrace the teachings of Martin Luther King, Jr. and those like him. Humanity will only survive through unity, compassion, and helping each other.

Never forget

This was a very painful time in the history. And it needs to be remembered.This was a very painful time in the history. And it needs to be remembered and for the people who think that it didn't happen well maybe looked up and you'll see how horrific this time.Was and how people suffered. than u to the artist who did this let this memory be continued.!

One of the craziest things I read about history is that the majority of the world didn't really care that the Jews were being killed. As a matter of fact, quite a few (not just the Nazis) were totally cool with it. If Japan had never bombed Pearl Harbor, I wonder what would have gotten the US involved! Additionally, there was a max exodus of them right before it all began and surprise surprise, no one wanted to take them in. Guess the more things change, the more things stay the same...food for thought: https://time.com/5327279/ushmm-americans-and-the-holocaust/

I see those photos and know that there are so many people saying this never happened. It's disgusting to know that these people exist. How can anybody say this never happened?

very moving and respectful to those we have lost and who have survived this unspeakable situation.

My grandpa was in the Army unit that liberated Dakau. He didn't speak a lot about it but what he did say sounded horrible. It scarred him for his life of what he saw when he arrived there. He and a buddy wrote a memoir, though I don't think it was very published. It contained pictures that he took. They are hard to look at. Thank you for getting the courage to do what you did. I know that it must have been very difficult but was needed. Everyone must remember what happened and know that it did in fact happen so that we never allow this to happen again.

I was fortunate enough to visit Ann Frank's house, the Museum of Tolerance in LA, and be welcomed into the homes and synagogues of many Jewish people. I cannot and WILL NOT allow or tolerate anyone who denies or minimizes the Shoah. We are seeing facism, "detainment camps," anti-semitism and xenophobic jingoism beginning to creep across the nation and our world. At the end of the day, it won't matter what you "believed," or what political party you support, all that matters is what you allowed to be done in your name. History will not judge you kindly just because you blindly followed a corrupt and venal politician with his own propaganda machine.

"a Gestapo concentration camp." Not the correct terminology. It was a concentration camp, nothing else. The Gestapo had nothing to do with it. They were a different arm of Hitler's government

As always, I can't see pictures like this without crying. 😔😔

I stumbled upon your site and am so appreciative that I did. I am in awe of your Great Grandfather. His pictures show the true horrors of WWII. Thank you for sharing them.

What do modern day Germans say to all this?

disturbing . . . but very eye opening.

We shall never forget what is holocaust and how did it star.. The biggest camp organized by nasists was placed in Poland, called Auschwitz Birkenau. In this german concentration camp 6 milions of People were killed during the 2nd World war.. 6milions of People. Not only jewish... We shall never forget!

Such heartbreak. Thank you for trying to put a sense of reality to these images. May their memories continue to be a blessing.

My Grandfather was one of the army personnel shipped over for the evacuation and clean up of the Bergen-Belsen camps . He too never spoke about it to us but we have a newspaper cutting of him receiving medals many years after the event for the work he did during those horrific times. When will humanity rise above the ego driven desire for destruction and cruelty to our fellow sacred life entity brothers the world over. We must evolve our consciousness to eradicate the demons that posses a soul to commit such atrocious unspeakable acts of horror. For those that can are not human and are dispossessed of humanities heart and soul and the sacred essence of divine love.

I tell this for a point of perspective and reference. My father was on Iwo Jima at age 17 for 23 days. We, his family, also suffered from what he saw and did since it affected him so much. I cannot imagine how those who survived and their progeny have not suffered for generations and generations. Our fellow Jewish citizens of all ages deserve our empathy, and need to know that we will do our best to never let this happen again. Nevertheless, over 70 million people voted for tRUMP who called the Nazis at Charlottesville good people.

And the worse part is that not only nazis did those atrocities. Japan army were said to do even more horrible things in their prison camps on china and south korea. Google "maruta ww2", they were innocent people, even toddlers, used as experiment subjects by the japan army. But the world has changed. I am so glad we have international laws about war crimes. Yet we still have to acknowledge that such horrible things happened in the past, so that it wouldn't happen again.

Difficult topic

Those pictures are so disturbing because they are real. To this day we ask ourselves how anyone could do this to another human. Someone not unlike ourselves. Only God can have mercy on their souls because they will get none hereon earth.

I especially feel bad for the boy who smiled and was oblivious to the whole thing thinking he was having a nice, cute picture taken of him. I almost cried thinking about the people who were murdered about beliefs. Would you kill someone for believing Santa Claus? No, that's what I thought and yes I know the question of God is different but that doesnt matter. Many people with disabilities and mental illnesses were deemed not 'perfect' but the people who thought that probably had a mental illness of their own...

:( the lil 4 yr old boy smiling before his death broke my heart :( and many more suffered the same fate .. everyone who was a victim was innocent esp women and children no need for any of the deaths :( all bc they werent german >:(

Things like this have to be stopped from happening. We have to treat all people with dignity and respect. Whether you're religious or not, we all come from the same God and need to love one another. We have to stop allowing people to poison our minds with hateful opinions and thoughts. To everyone who reads this:WE HAVE TO STOP THE HATE!

Amazing work, thank you! One point of [possible] correction: that "Woman at Bergen-Belsen" was not beaten by SS guards... she WAS an SS guard, and was beaten by female inmates the day the camp was liberated. There's another photo of her standing next to Ilse Koch (the notorious "Witch of Belsen") and two other female SS guards before (or possible some time after) she was beaten. Note that she's not at all emaciated, and her hair is lush and styled, compared to the inmates of the camp.

I can't understand why people seem to think that colourizing the existing black and white photos is disrespectful to the memory of those photographed. Most photographs from that period of time were in black and white, or in sepia, due to the technology available at the time. I remember that once, as a very small child, when my mother was showing me black and white photos of her parents, I asked her when color was invented and how did folks get used to the world suddenly being in colour, instead of the black and white they were used to?! I couldn't understand how colour always existed, when the photographs didn't show things in colour! All this photographer has done is show us how these people actually looked at the time they were photographed, in actual, natural colour! What's wrong with that?
