You can just feel how horrendous the situation must’ve been through the picture
看着这张照片,你完全能感受到当时的处境有多么可怕。

Truly harrowing. The sunken hollow eyes of suffering and despair. These photos remind us of what we should never let happen again. It's a failure of humanity. We can do better, we know better.
To add to other examples, it happens in Russia. Thousands of Ukrainians are in Russian captivity. They look like this when exchanged. And the stories they tell when released are stories from hell.
I have always thought that you become what you fight against. Look at the US now as well.
我一直认为,当你反抗某种东西时,你最终也会变成那种东西。看看现在的美国不也是这样吗。

Yes. And the leaders of the world are watching, doing nothing... or, in the case of Western nations like the US and UK, actually aiding the aggressors committing the atrocities.
My great aunt who survived always said there wouldn’t be enough ink and paper in the world to tell what truly happened. She survived Auschwitz and was moved to dachau after the death March
Tell republicans this is a photo of an illegal immigrant Trump detained and they’ll cheer.
你要是跟共和党人说这是一张特朗普关押的非法移民的照片,他们绝对会拍手叫好。

The History Underground channel on YouTube has great coverage of WW2 if anyone is interested. The host, JD, does a nice job of touring locations and explaining what happened at the camps, etc. He covered Dachau - it was hard to watch.
如果有人感兴趣的话,YouTube上的“The History Underground”频道对二战的报道做得非常棒。主持人JD做得很好,他会实地探访遗址,讲解集中营里发生过的事情等等。

Thanks for sharing. I've been to Dachau back in 2011, it was chilling. You could almost feel it in the air.
感谢分享。我2011年去过达豪集中营,那地方简直让人不寒而栗。空气里都透着股阴森劲儿。

Finally a WWII photo that isn't glorifying Nazis ("German Soldiers") and showing their atrocities instead.
总算看到一张不是在美化纳粹(标题还写着“德国士兵”),而是展示他们暴行的二战照片了。

People often post Nazi soldier pictures and people often feel the need to state that they were probably drafted, didn't know what they were doing, were victims of war, suffered because everyone in war suffers, etc. I call it the Nazi Automatic Benefit of the Doubt in my head. Instructions: assume Nazi soldier is a good, coerced victim unless someone can prove otherwise on the post, then say you were speaking more generally or attack their information. Say no human is a monster and actually, *the commenter* is bad and furthering violence by labeling them as a monster because anyone can be capable of great evil. Say they don't know how they would handle being in that situation, so they can't criticize. Etc. Personally, I just don't fucking care about discussing the humanity of Nazis. It's not like they were so prosecuted after the war, not like we did such a great job of bringing them to justice. Most of them got off with almost no consequences except having to live in a country that the war they fought in destroyed. Many honorable people died resisting. I honor them. I honor those the Nazis murdered. The regime and its machinery deserves no honor, in my eyes.
Unfortunately I've seen some of it. I just downvote and block because arguing with those people in a lost cause.
很不幸,我确实见过一些。我通常直接踩并拉黑,跟那种人争论纯属浪费生命。

And sadly, some of them died from Refeeding Syndrome after the well-meaning soldiers gave them milk and soup. You have to *very gently* reintroduce electrolytes and vitamins into the body and monitor the chemical balance, but that wasn't widely known until after the war, when more studies were done.
可悲的是,有些幸存者在好心的士兵给他们喂了牛奶和热汤后,反而死于再喂养综合征。

Some were given chocolate which killed them. These young soldiers didn’t know and only wanted to help. Knowing you had some food and not knowing their digestive system couldn’t handle it. Tragic.
It really is sad. I'm sure everyone thought something mild like soup would be easy on their systems since it isn't solid food, but it was still too much for some. I can't imagine how terrible they felt. :(
Man. I struggle bad with an ED. 2-3 days without eating is pretty regular to me, I don’t feel any discomfort from it. Maybe I should see a doctor.
哎。我有严重的进食障碍 (ED)。两三天不吃东西对我来说是常态,我也感觉不到什么不舒服。

Yes please, take care of yourself and be gentle on yourself. You only need to do one step now, seeking support is already a huge one. I am sure you can do it
The soldiers were looking at malnourished people. Walking corpses. They wanted to help, and unfortunately they didn't understand they were harming these people instead.
I hope you didn't take my comment as criticism. I said they were well-meaning and that it wasn't common knowledge.
希望你没觉得我是在指责你。我说了,他们是好心,而且当时那会儿这种医疗常识并不普及。

Oh no, absolutely not. I was just agreeing with you. I remember as a child learning about the Holocaust and soldiers liberating the camps and thinking the first thing they should do is give them all their food. This is, of course, what they tried to do. It was the wrong choice, unfortunately.

True, But many of them had a long prosperous lives.
People are so strong you wouldn’t believe it. I grew up with 3 holocaust survivor grandparents, the two that went trough it with some family came out much better mentally then the one that spent the war alon, losing all his family, he didn’t like to speak, ever.
My Dachau survivor grandfather lived into his 90s! He was paranoid and emotionally messed up, but he did survive.
我爷爷是达豪集中营的幸存者,他活到了90多岁!他多疑,精神上也有点问题,但他确实活下来了。

This comparison is misguided. Everyone who suffered through that war was subjected to horror that no person should ever have to endure. Mere survival and seeming resilience in the face of adversity, while comendable and admirable, doesn't negate the truly inhumane conditions people suffered. Many were changed beyond their capacity to cope. PTSD and other mental scars that never heal. And physical. Some survived to die by suicide. Or they were merely lost to the war. They survived, but they weren't the same person that existed before. Nothing good comes from war, almost universally.
My mom's coworker was a little girl when she was taken to auschwitz. She was in her late 80's when I met her, damn strong person. I still think about her a lot.
My mom was in a similar situation and said that when she met her quota in her camp she was "rewarded" with the rare luxury of potato peels for dinner. She lived to 95, so fuck the Nazis.
My grandfather was a Ukrainian who was exposed as a member of the resistance as a very young man and was sent to Dachau. He said that by the time he was liberated, his knees were the widest parts of his legs because so much of his fat and muscle had wasted.
My grandfather was a German who became stateless in order to serve with the allies, he liberated Dachau along with several other camps. He and many other young men with him fed the survivors when they first arrived and were horrified when many died because their body simply could not handle the sudden consumption of food. He married a Ukrainian woman, my grandmother, whose father managed to safely smuggle his family across several occupied countries to freedom. In our family we were raised with an understanding how truly easy it is for this kind of evil to take hold. Anywhere. Every day I am grateful they aren't alive to see what is happening now. Sometimes though I think they weep through me.
"Sometimes though I think they weep through me." Powerful words my friend.
“但有时我想,他们正透过我流泪。” 我的朋友,这句话真是触动人心。

My great grandfather was a Ukrainian who immigrated to Greece and died in Dachau. Makes me sad to see this. My grandma had many stories of growing up without a father from a young age. If people only knew the suffering that was caused in WWII and reverberated through generations to our current times… Analogously, it’s not like ptsd stops at a wwii island like Okinawa. That guy carries it for the rest of his life. Then if not treated, it inflicts on his children, then their children, and even their children…

There was even more mistreatment of the victims when and after the war ended, as well. A bunch of gay Holocaust victims were carted off to prisons instead of actually liberated just because they were gay. > [After the war, **the Allies** chose not to remove the Nazi-amended Paragraph 175. **Neither they, nor the new German states, nor Austria would recognise homosexual prisoners as victims of the Nazis** – a status essential to qualify for reparations. Indeed, many gay men continued to serve their prison sentences.](https://hmd.org.uk/learn-about-the-holocaust-and-genocides/nazi-persecution/gay-people/)
Imagine, there were survivors living in these camps for years after liberation due to immigration laws and quotas. These folks had no homes or families to go to. They lost all documents and identity. They lost their humanity. If you’ve ever met or heard any survivor testimony, consider yourself lucky. If you haven’t, please seek out this info at various holocaust museums, Yad Vashem is a great one, to hear testimony of survivors, liberators and others who beared witness to these unspeakable atrocities.
I read Man’s Search for Meaning and there is a part about a prisoner sobbing because his feet are so swollen he can’t get his boots on. He knows that they have to march in the snow and without boots he is as good as dead. Just stuck with me and I still think of that when I’m in snow with my nice insulated boots on.
我读过《活出意义来》(Man’s Search for Meaning),里面有个片段写到一个囚犯在啜泣,因为他的脚肿得穿不上靴子。他很清楚,接下来他们得在雪地里行军,没靴子他就必死无疑。这个场景一直印在我脑海里,现在每次我穿着暖和的防寒靴走在雪地里时,还是会想起那一幕。

I wish Americans could visit the death camps like I got to. I went to Dachau when I was young. It really puts into perspective what governments are capable of when they amass unchecked power. I will never understand how people can fly a Nazi flag or sieg heil. Bourne of the blackest cruelty of human History.
Turns out my grandfather was there at Dacau the day after they liberated. The engineers had to bury all the bodies that hadn't been burned. He never talked about it and he died decades ago. We developed some film found in an old camera about 10 years ago and saw the photos. They still haunt me.
"To the Allies. To the army of [General Patton](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_S._Patton). This is the Buchenwald concentration camp. SOS. We request help. They want to evacuate us. The SS wants to destroy us." "KZ Bu. Hold out. Rushing to your aid. Staff of Third Army." Three days later, elements of 9th Armored Infantry Battalion, 6th Armored Division, 3rd US Army reached Buchenwald concentration camp, freeing 21,000 prisoners. The clock on the camp entrance is frozen at 3:15, the minute the Americans arrived.
Nazi apologists are the worst. How can you see the suffering of another person like this and excuse it?
给纳粹洗地的人最恶心了。看着别人受这种苦,竟然还能找理由开脱,怎么下得去手?

Lived in Germany for a few years. Went to Dachau, I had the feeling there that there was a truly evil place on earth, and that was it. I felt cold and misery through my body. When other frieds or family came and wanted to see and learn about it, I would drop them off nearby and wait in the car. I will never step foot there again. I am sure other camps leave others with the same feeling.
