This is Dachau Concentration Camp | Germany

This is Dachau Concentration Camp | Germany

Today we are heading to the daa concentration camp we want to do it justice as best as we can but I don’t think any pictures or video can ever fully capture the experience therefore it is deserving of its own video we’ll share our experience at the daa concentration camp but before we even

Continue we just want to say that a lot of consideration went into even doing this video like is this even an appropriate thing to do however we learned that Germany makes all of their Holocaust Memorial museums exhibits and sites like this one free and accessible to everyone they do not charge an

Admission because they want as many people as possible to learn about the Holocaust so that history does not repeat itself and that is something that we want to support that is something that we can get behind everyone should know about it and if by us sharing our experience with you inspires even one

Person to go or one person to understand more then we feel like it’s worth it hi we’re The Lost Ones just your average group of friends who travel together as often as we can afford while trying to cross things off our bucket list we started this Vlog to capture our

Adventures good times and foodie moments to look back on when we grow old we hope to inspire others meet cool people and try new foods along the way think it’s day five believe it’s day five definitely lost count at this point the game plan today is we are making a day

Trip up to D house go see the Concentration Camp the site definitely going to be a little heavy on the emotions I feel like we’re all kind of prepared in our own way but it’s definitely a must to go see I felt ready to go inside but then

We see the train tracks that lead right up to the front of the gate as we were walking through the gates Vick like tearing up I I’m not going to lie the feeling of dreaded anxiety as we were walking in was like super heavy I’m baffled at how big this place is it’s

Hard to understand truly the scale of what they were doing here we’re walking up to these cold Stark processing buildings and this was the first stop for prisoners when they arrived obviously the experience is different for us because we have free will and free Ro to go where we’d like in this

Area but the prisoners were hurted like cattle by the SS guard to start the process of removing their identities their belongings were taken their identities were taken their clothes were taken you were replaced by a number that would define Your Existence we’re in the shower room right now you were forced to

Strip naked and you were forced to shower here then after the shower they would give you your prisoner clothes the entire building is a museum now recounting everything that happened here you go through all these emotions as you walk through you’re anxious you’re sad you’re angry because of what

Happened here seeing photos and everything doesn’t do it justice because it’s that thing where you can try to recreate a moment or a feeling but you can’t like be here in those moments oh my God the calorie content of food rations lay far under the daily requirement

Because they were also put to work when asked to describe the average daily ration of food at the camp a prisoner answered 1/8 of a loaf of bread sometimes a small piece of sausage or cheese maybe and sometimes a half liter of soup that contained potatoes maybe and that’s all they got

Can you imagine like working as hard as they did for many many hours a day only to receive that much food that’s not even enough to sustain anybody look at here’s a firsthand account from a prisoner there are other things that you can eat first there are dandelions you

Simply pulled out the whole root shake off the soil and stick the whole thing in your mouth unfortunately there are only a few of them at our work site like the way he yeah even said that was just like the strength and the optimism of being like Oh there’s other things you

You know what I mean like that breaks my heart he said that there was only a few like he was willing to eat a lot they were tor Ted harassed beaten hung the level of torture and abuse would depend on the guards and the guards’ moods for

The day like if there was a speck on your eating utensils they would punish you or if they felt like it they’ll punish your whole unit of like 250 people they they made up whatever they wanted they even had dog kennels here and they would use the dogs as another

Method of mutilating the prisoners hole hanging was another torture method used a lot victims were hung up left to swing back and forth and then beaten Jesus and on top of that there were human experiments the doctors of the camp and I say that with quotations the doctors of the camp

Definitely misuse prisoners for their own quote medical experiments unquote in an attempt to like find solutions for their biochemical military Warfare even children were subjected to this additional gruesome experiments meant to further Nazi racial goals included a series of sterilization experiments against people who they consider to be racially or genetically

Undesirable and then the head of the SS that dude that dude’s in charge of the quote unquote Master race yes he was an idiot and he clearly enjoyed killing people bum and then because of their own doing since they were killing so many people they didn’t have enough slave

Labor so stupid and so they’re like we need more people working as slaves because we need to fund our war and what did they do instead of improving conditions they created slave hunts they would tell the police a quota and then the police would go and arrest as many

People as possible for no reason other than to throw them in Camp and their favorite thing was targeting movie theaters and churches Jewish people were not the only victims of the SS of the Nazi regime like they took anyone from anywhere as prisoners anyone who wasn’t on their side Italians polish dut dut

Belgian Greek Hungarian Spanish black people white people religious opponents such as certain Christians and Jehovah’s Witnesses gay people disabled people even Germans their very own nationality I’m going to cry the solidarity that the prisoners had with each other was significant to their survival singing songs together from their Homeland

Introducing new prisoners to the daily routine of Camp life the procurement of food for those starving the care of the sick and the wounded belong to the Daily practice of Solidarity the main Camp Road is where they had hundreds of these Barracks they literally slept all the prisoners they fit 250 of them in the one bunk Room you’re literally a slave forced into labor denied basic human rights I just know these trees were sick the Nazi [ __ ] all the barracks got torn down but you can obviously see the footprint of where they stood this is ashes of the unknown concentration camp prisoners it shows like bodies being

Entwined in barbed wire we’re standing at the fence where the watchtowers are you’re trying to imagine the desperation of those prisoners who knew that freedom was literally like right there on the other side of that fence like what would I do if I was starving and tired of

Getting tortured do you try to escape do you risk getting shot do you risk getting captured and tortured even more than you already are in the back corner of the property is the crematorium do not be fooled by this scenery this is a place of horror the [ __ ] that the Nazis put

These innocent people through just to kill them is insane they had a fake waiting room where they lied to people saying they were just going to take a shower then they even had a whole fake ass shower with fake shower spouts but it was a gas chamber they killed thousands of these

People here elderly people children disabled people they disrespected their bodies dragging them across the floor even piling them up I’m shocked that this complete disregard for human life is all because they were different my heart is so heavy even just witnessing like what’s left of the horrors where

Thousands of people were murdered is just an unexplainable feeling at first they had a small crematorium then they built a bigger one and that’s how many victims they had they had to upgrade this kind of hatred has no place in humanity I will never forget this

Place and I will never forget seeing the images and hearing the stories of what the victims went through and I hope something like this never happens again I hope those innocent souls are at peace or at least I hope they came back and haunted those SS guards

An emotional but eye-opening visit to the Nazi WWII concentration camp (death camp) in Dachau, Germany.

This has been on our list of places for a while.

Honestly, we were awkward and uncomfortable but we mic’d up so this is just our first hand commentary.

This is definitely not our usual easy going vlog, but we think it’s important.
