Snyder gets completely unprofessional when he compares Holocaust in different countries. Putting sign of equality between occupied Poland ruled by Germans (for some reason he never uses word Germans, but Nazis) and other countries that willingly surrendered to Germans, who's governments officially cooperated with them and allowed for mass killings of their own population. This gets even better when you realize that despite death penalty in Poland, Poles would save most jews, whereas in countries without any penalty for saving jews there was only a handful of people who helped. Snyder is critical to Poles who saved jews stating "there wasn't many of them" but what in that time Americans did? Why didn't americans bomb the tracks to Auschwitz? Why American diplomats didn't save jews despite no potential penalty? Why he never criticizes western Europe that had most antisemitism for centuries long before Holocaust whos official governments cooperated with Hitler and took part in killing their jewish citizens like the French. We never hear a word from him about that. Why is he so in love with people like Oscar Schindler who risked nothing and perhaps Germans had only few more like him, but he is in full critique of Poles who in thousands were saving jews while each time risking their own and lives of their families? Snyder displays great amount of knowledge collected, yet he fails tremendously at synthesis and seeing events objectively with their weights attached accordingly to how it really was.

@@damian4926 Thank you. Just about to listen and wil bear this in mind.

Entities?

@@damian4926 looks like we watched a different talk! He’s saying none of what you say he’s saying.

​ Poles didn't save most Jews though. The only occupied nation to do that were the Danish. I think you're getting different things mixed up. Although Poles have the highest number of citizens to be awarded 'Righteous Among the Nations', this was not enough to save the majority of Jews, given the sheer number of Jews who lived in Poland. For a variety of reasons, around 90% of Polish Jews didn't survive.

Its in his book. Read it.

No they (the ones who survived and were deemed fit enough) were targeted to become a slave class.

@@mabusestestament If you say so.

@@inotaishu1 As he says in the talk many killers were recruited from former Red Army soldiers (mostly Slav) who were being starved to death in POW camps. They had a very stark choice.

The murder of around 3 million Soviet soldiers was one aspect of The Hunger Plan ( for genocide in The USSR) which was actually carried out. As a complete plan it failed because it presupposed the early conquest of the whole of European Russia.

Romania was among several Allies of the Nazis such as Hungary, Slovakia, Croatia and many other countries that took part in the Holocaust. While Romania never deported Jewish people to the extermination camps and death camps or concentration camps in Poland and around 500.000 to 600.000 Romanian Jewish people survived the Holocaust it did not do so out of kindness but rather because Ion Antescou realized that they were losing the war and likely wanting to save his own skin he used Jewish people in Romania as bargaining chips and let’s not forget that Antescou was a adamant anti semite and was responsible for the deaths of between 300.000 and 400.000 innocent Jewish people as Romania under his rule organized brutal massacres and mass shootings and put thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people into concentration camps in occupied lands from Ukraine where they lived in horrible conditions which therefore resulted in the deaths of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of innocent people which in total killed between 300.000 and 400.000 innocent people. I am therefore suprised and angry that it isn’t discussed much.

There is no abstract motivation called "humanity". There are forces that condition people to act a certain way. A Polish farmer saved two beautiful Jewish girls and had sex with them throughout the occupation. An old pious Ukrainian lady saved a Jewish survivor from Babi Yar because she believed God had sent her to her doorstep.

Psychopaths don't have empathy. I wouldn't last a second if I had to intellectualise every instinct I possess.

He's an academic. OF COURSE HE'S GOING TO HAVE THAT *COLD, ACADEMIC QUESTIONING*. Its called analysis. You don't do it with "feelings".

@Marie Large It's pretty much what he is saying, though.

You won't convince people who don't feel it that it exists.

Autarkic

Autarky means self-sufficiency. For my money, he could just have said that.

Autarkic - the status of having autarky (self-sufficiency).

Chill, the joys of watching it on UKposts is that you can skip past the intro.

lol are you denying the holocaust ?

How is one supposed to do that?

free palestine - free the world

Preventing future mass suffering and death hasn't worked out that well, has it. Since WW2, causing mass suffering and death has escalated exponentially : Communist China under Moa - approximately 60 million deaths; Cambodia under Pol Pot - about 2 million; Yugoslavian breakup - over 1 million; Rwandan genocide by Tutsis against the Hutus ; Saudi genocide against Yemen - over 1 million... and on and on and on. And that's only some of the genocides since the Nazis, not all. Vive Viveka, you "focus" is hollow.

The racist right is again on the rise. And this time there is no organised left and no Soviet Union to oppose it.

No, the bringing of ethnic Germans from Eastern Europe into Germany and occupied Poland occurred in 1939-40, before Barbarossa, in agreement with the USSR and the Baltic States (before Soviet annexation). Lets get basic facts straight.

How hilarious to read a Communist Liberal pontificating about voting rights. The 2020 election was stolen, and millions of Republican voters were thereby disenfranchised, by Communist Liberals.

That's hilarious in the darkest way. To a sane mind, his stomach sickness would have been revealing of an arousing of some embers of conscience. To Himmler, it meant they had to find a less upsetting way of exterminating people.

To Bob Taylor: There is nothing hilarious about Himmler's reaction. It's a natural human reaction. His "weakness" has nothing to do with his sadistic racial doctrines.

@@nathanraythomas1784 , that's my point. All of his racial theorizing pretensions were exposed as fraudulent by that human moment.

And all problems will be no more... According to Isaiah 65:21-25, under God's kingdom there will never exist problems pertaining housing, employment, health, daycare for children... "They will build houses and live in them, and they will plant vineyards and eat their fruitage. They will not build for someone else to inhabit, nor will they plant for others to eat. For the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, and the work of their hands my chosen ones will enjoy to the full. They will not toil for nothing. Nor will they bear children for distress, because they are the offspring made up of those blessed by Jehovah, and their descendants with them. Even before they call out, I will answer; while they are yet speaking, I will hear. The wolf and the lamb will feed together, the lion will eat straw just like the bull, and the serpent’s food will be dust. They will do no harm nor cause any ruin in all my holy mountain,” says Jehovah."

A never ending story? The holocaust? The genoside like ww 2 Ruanda? Kmer Rouche? The lecture in the university What is a never ending story?

It's possible that also in Serbia helping Jews was punished by death, but that's the only exception, if true. In occupied Poland three Gentile rescuers were murdered on average for every saved Jewish person, acc to prof. Czesław Pilichowski, director of the predecessor of today's Polish IPN, 'No time limits for those crimes' 1980. Which country comes even remotely close to paying that price of helping Jewish people during the Holocaust? Which other country paid a price even comparable to Poland during Nazi and Soviet invasion and occupation?

Yes he mentioned that in his Book. He also mentioned how many Polish People where trying to help the Jews and that the Armia Krajowa urged all Poles to help the Jewish People.

Also in Holland.

Point one argument he makes that you think is wrong and defend it with facts.

@@KuroNekoExMachina , it's been a year and he hasn't been able to do it.

Jews or Jewish people are an ethnoreligious group and a nation originating from the Israelites and Hebrews of historical Israel and Judah.

Both

They are East Europeans who adopted Judaism.

primarily a religion,maintained by one large ethnic group or race. They have allowed many to convert to their religion who aren't of the "race".

German Jews as defined by the Nazis included people who didn't consider themselves Jews. Many atheists. Racism is promoted by capitalism to divide and rule.

@@johnnyrocker7495 good to see at least some are awake to the propanganda

And Romanians

More Jews were killed than Poles. But you're correct. More Russians were killed than Jews.

Poles and Belarusians, and Ukranians,and Latvia at first

If it wasn't for Russia taking the brunt of the war in Europe till June of 44 the war would have turned out alot different. That was good and bad after the war ended. They killed 8 out of every 10 nazi's. There losses were spectacular, like the ridiculous losses there taking in Ukraine.

Also: French is closer to Denmark? If you say so! You’re the professor!

This comment is a non sequitur. The Nuremberg Laws were enacted to control, penalize and humiliate Jews in Germany. They were non negotiable. Halakha laws were being observed at the time of Jesus, only later were all 613 laws codified. Halakha is self enforcing by observant Jews. Secularized Jews chose not to fully observe Halakha but were not ostracized by their own. It's two totally different things. The Nazis borrowed forced sterilization, euthanasia, and forced separation of minorities from American eugenicists and the KKK. They are documented facts.

@@nathanraythomas1784 US had its own history of genocide for Lebensraum.

Wrong

@@paulgrieve7031Hitler was a Roman Catholic. He had his Confirmation at Lintz Cathedral in 1900. The Roman Catholic Church excommunicated Fidel Castro, but not Hitler. Why is that.

Quite a leap over logic, to blame the holocaust on 'Islamists' .

@@Fredmayve Funny what you've spun from my long post. Again, anti-JIZ Islamists are themselves Arab Semites. They actively supported the National Socialists (Nazis) who are the main culprits of the Holocaust. Obviously, despite their anti-JIZ genocidal rage, these Arab Islamists were not as sophisticated as the Nazis. Sadly, their enlightophobic ideology continues to hold back many failed Arab (and other Muslim-majority countries) and are a hazard to Muslims and to entire West. For more info, you might want to read/listen to Cynthia Farahat's "Secret Apparatus."

Why? The short answer is because he's a c**t.

that's not exactly true! they aren't putting them in camps. israel uses defensive missiles, not offensive. They are shutting them OUT, not IN. they have thier own sections of land.

Did Max forget about decades of Palestinian terror against Israeli civilians in buses, cafes, schools, pizzerias, disco's, and 13-year-old Jewish girls getting stabbed to death in their bedrooms! Shall i go on

Hamas have actually written in their Charter that they desire the World Wide Murder of all Jews, not Israelis, Jews. The Third Reich didn’t write it down!!

@@ryanmurdoch9581 that's only true of some though.

Except no Palestinian state existed in history. Between the fall of the Kingdom of Judea and the re-establishment of the State of Israel in 48, the only state that existed there was Israel. Jerusalem wasn't the capital of anything else except Israel.

Very few countries allowed Jews to immigrate from 1933- 45. Costa Rica and the Philippines were the exceptions. Britain wanted to appease the Arabs and even limited immigration to Palestine by the White Paper. Theodore Herzl only decided on the Israel option because he saw the amazing hostility towards Jews by the French, Germans, and Austrians evident in the Dreyfus trial and saw the deception of Jewish emancipation and citizenship in Europe since Napoleon's time. Canada's prime minister is quoted as having said "One is too many",
