Nazi's photo album shows life of a top Auschwitz officer | 60 Minutes

A Nazi’s photo album shows top officers at Auschwitz singing, socializing, and lighting a Christmas tree at a time when hundreds of thousands of Jews were killed in the concentration camp.

"60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.

Her final words are truly profound! "Man is an animal, all he needs is permission"

"tears are for normal pain" -- that stopped me in my tracks! What a powerful statement. Great reporting 60 Mins, thank you.

9:57 - “The heart keeps working but the soul never forgets”. What a statement.

My great grandfather lost his life in Auschwitz. He was Polish, he was 27. He left wife and 3 little children. He survived only 3 months, in 1941. His photo from Auschwitz is the only one my family have. IT will never stop to traumatizme me, the fact that people did that horibble things to other pople. I hate that.

Insane that there are people in this world that don’t believe this even happened

"We couldn't cry ... This is beyond crying." She is the voice for her family. The voice for them all.

Irene’s final statement about Man being the most dangerous animal is true. It also sheds light on our world situation today.

"The heart keeps working, but the soul never forget"😥😢

[Roxality]

The world needs to remember this and not let hate happen again. It’s sad to see what is happening now in the world.

Still blows my mind this all took place only 80 years ago

As the Reverend Martin Niemoller said, "First they came for the Communists. And I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then the came for the Jews. And I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the Catholics. And I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me. And by then, there was no one left to speak up." All it takes for evil to happen is for good people to do nothing,

People don't realize how quickly society would breakdown in a war/catastrophic situation

[joeanderson]

I find truth in this quote
"It's happening, it's never stopped".

8:29 -- This picture is the one where I went from choked-up to crying. It's unthinkable, how people could treat other people like waste... especially children.

I’m watching this video while my 94 year old mother in law is in her room slowly fading away from Parkinson’s. She was separated from her parents in 42 or 43 and never saw them again. She along with her older sister were one of the last groups to leave Düsseldorf. It’s just maddening to see these images of monsters so convinced of their superiority living what looks like a carefree life.

I would like a story done on the German grandson and his grandfather. I seems like his grandfather was never arrested for war crimes. What was his grandfather like? What did his grandfather talk about? Did his grandfather talk about the war? What did the grandson think his grandfather did during the war? This is a story to be told.

"...it's never stopped.'
the most damning last words.

"All he needs is - no truer, on point words have been spoken.

When I was 10 years old I was changing channels on my grandmother's television and then, I don't know if it was on the PBS channel, they were showing a Holocaust documentary... I will never forget it because I didn't understand anything!! I saw women without clothes in the mud and prisoners loading corpses into wheelbarrows and throwing them into a ditch. I didn't understand until I finally started reading...but my life changed forever. God bless everyone.

The lack of tears is profound trauma...
