I always knew my grandfather had a wife and 3 children before the Holocaust and lost them all! and then married with my grandmother after the war, and one day he showed me a picture of him with his first wife and 3 children who were killed, it touched me too the bones and I started crying, as I am now a mother of 3 children, and to see him with his precious 3 children made me realize his loss

everybody should visit Auschwitz (Oświęcim) in Poland and see it all with their own eyes in the museum

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting these, Joachim!!! We must NEVER FORGET!!!! Bless you!!

Seeing those photos I always ask myself..Where are all those rings, all that gold, silver and platnia. stolen from those poor people!

I just do not understand how there can be so much hatred in a human being. We should all realize that we are all children of God regardless of race, color or creed. Looking at these photos makes me so extremely sad but I think it is important for today's youth to be educated on what happened during the holocaust to prevent history from repeating. Thank you Joachim!

Well done. Colour brings those black and white photos to life and makes it easier for one to identify with the real People that they were. Thankfully my father escaped on the kinder transport. I can’t fathom how people can deny the horror of the holocaust. We who have eye witness reports of this darkest part of human suffering must not let it become ‘just history ‘ and continue to educate people.

I can't imagine why there are people who maintain that the Holocaust never took place. This horrific event is well documented with photos and documentary film evidence taken at the time. To deny that this happened is to deny history and makes a mockery of people's lives.

If we were to do DNA testing on all the hate groups, I am positive we’d find out that a good number of them, have some ancestry that includes the people they now act in hate and evil towards! Many would have Jewish and African American ancestry, and a few things they claim to hate with a passion, in them! There are very few people with what they call “ pure” ancestry. Migration was all over the world, and people moved around more than we do in this century. All for a better life, better treatment from others. We are a nation of immigrants. Even the president has an immigrant past in his family. Hate is learned, intolerance is learned! So, let’s stop teaching our children, how to hate and be intolerant of others. Otherwise, we are all doomed.

Beautiful & heartbreaking.

The history of the rise of Nazism and the Holocaust is the final, complete summation of how evil takes a foot hold - is tolerated - comes to power - thrives - and the expanding whirlpool of devastation it yields.

So glad I could see these I find it very hard to watch documentary but at the same time want to be educated about the holocaust.

These photos are truly heartbreaking, even more so in color... The auther makes a great job since this awful part of our history should never be forgotten.

Astounding, incredibly sad..............

But Candace Owen says, "Hitler was fine."

I knew people who barely escaped Berlin before the wall went up. It saddens me that young people don't know the horrors that happened not so long ago. The way this country is going....we may experience some of this in our lifetimes.

Thabks who ever that im not "Everyone" xD

Thanks for this. Somehow it makes the victims more real.

German's Hell....Everyone who talks about "Polish Death Camps" should be jailed for year to think and learn some history.

The colorized pictures are also much clearer and makes the victims more personable. Anyone who thinks there was no Holocaust have deep seated mental issues. It's just like people who believe 9-11 was a government conspiracy.

I am a baby boomer and quite aware of the atrocities of the holocaust. I appreciate your efforts to enlighten/ educate those who are unaware or the most significant part of the 20th century. However I found the colorization of the photos nauseating. They don’t begin to have the same impact as the black and white. It’s almost like you are trying to make them pretty. There was nothing pretty about any of this as I know you know. Maybe it’s the artificiality of the colors that makes it so abhorrent to me. s

To author: why did you sign the third photo: "Catholic girl"? The title says, she was 'Pole' - Polish girl - nothing about her faith. So, why?

Only fools and morons make a deal about something already over. Anyone who says they care is a lying piece of s**t. If someone actually gave a f**k instead of wanting to ride the popular holocaust pity train they'd for example in the exact same f*****g time period look to Asia. Can also look after ww2 or before ww2 when during ww1 there was a very successful genocide that went extremely smoothly all while stongly ignored by all the Allies nations of ww2. Can look to many many other things that also make the Holocaust a joke like the ever lasting murder of natives of japan/usa. Heck there is so many things to mention just in the 1900s that no no one cares about and sure as f**k don't care about the Holocaust otherwise they'd care about much much worse things that the west in particular loves to not even aknowledge or cover in history classes.

No offense but I prefer them to be kept in black and white because color brings some of the details more to light and that fact is not working for most of those people's favor. No offense. Damn some of them reallly need to consume more calories honestly
