A drone just flew over Auschwitz and captured something incredibly powerful

No words can truly capture the horrors of what was perpetrated by the Nazis against the Jewish people in Auschwitz. But, this powerful drone film does so much with a birds-eye view for the visual visitor. The gates of hell as seen from above provide a unique angle to understand that the latest inventions from mankind can be used to destroy and kill if the moral compass of the world becomes so skewed that mass killings become justified or overlooked.

I remember reading Gen. Eisenhower told a photographer to film everything he could. When the photographer asked him why, he said because in 50 years people will say this never happened.

My grandfather told me that the most important part of his life was the day he entered Auschwitz. Because before he were punished, starved by soldiers, he were a very fastidious and phlegmatic person. After auschwitz he knew that the life is a very valuable thing. And you must do good things to people or the meaning of humanity will lost.
He died 3 years ago on age 96.
And we are from Hungary.

I remember reading about General Dwight Eisenhower. He demanded not only his troops, but the local citizenry to go to these camps and see. His reasoning was this: we know this happened. The history books will say it happened. But one day, maybe 70 years from now, you will have one person say it never happened. Someone will be around to prove it did happen.

My adopted grandfather was one of the US Liberators that went into the concentration camps. After knowing him for a few years he shared his experiences. He cried from the memories and I know he didn’t share the details. How I wish he would have told historians his story.

That is like, really big. From pictures I've seen i thought it was like some walled in compound, like a few square blocks. I never thought it'd be like that. It's so bizarre that that entire area was dedicated to such an evil agenda.

I really didn't know it was such a big place. Really changed my perspective of it. I'd have never imagined it was so large, the pictures you regularly see if this place do not do it justice

The shot of entering along the train tracks was perhaps the most profound moment, for me at least. Thank you for this video!

I had no idea how huge this place was. Blew me away. There are no words to describe the horror.

It wasn’t just Jews.. many people of different nationalities & religions were killed here. Respect everyone who died in this horrid place. RIP

Would of been better to show a whole fly around instead of short clips and fading outs of clips of sections of the camp.when the whole point of this was to show how big a size it is, I find this video very annoying.

Dear god, it’s a whole city! This place is far bigger than I though and larger then seen in books. It’s horrific and sad that this happened :( may all the soles lost Rest In Peace.

There's a dark and heavy feeling around this place...

[robertplajhnik]

One thing, there was not only Jewish people. There was also non Jewish like a normal catholic citizens (Polish, Czech and other nations, even the German people who was against Hitler) who was against Nazis. So try to be precise next time.

I have only one thing to say: Remember, remember remember & NEVER forget ❤️

[engleharddinglefester]

You can see how tiny people are walking on the sidewalk and be able to imagine how many people it would have taken to fill that camp.

[Mythiqoeatsbreadladdd]

I’ve been there and walked through it all, it’s a very eerie feeling.
Rest in Peace to all those who suffered in that terrible place.

Thanks to the Greatest Generation, they made sure this place would not survive another day. Honor the fallen. Honor the souls that passed through, never to leave alive.

[Gamerqueenfr]

I can't explain how badly I feel for the people who lost their lives here it hurts my heart and I hope they are in a better place where their free to do all the things they didn't get to do I pray this doesn't ever happen in history

Its unbelievable, but its even more unbelievable that nowdays people still deny it.
