This is the kinda stuff that would be rad cool if peloton could mesh the technology into it.

Hop on the treadmill and get a walk in along with a virtual tour of anywhere in the world.

Not good pics - just going off what I have on my phone - rest are elsewhere

A1 was more disturbing to me in that people can drive by it and not realize what happened there. Birkenau is the above and the infamous train area

Do you really think that very thing does not exist in America“

Can you show any proof of this or some solid information?

Oh good lord.

We went to Auschwitz and didn’t see anything like that and the tour guide didn’t mention it. It’s my understanding that as you got off the train you were sent to be a worker or to be gassed based on your health/age etc.

On that scale absolutely not. You really need to start doing your homework on Auschwitz.

That's in the past. We have to move on and put this behind us.

While I would agree some people did not know, but a lot of locals did... Maybe they did not know the SS were murdering them, but they did in fact know it was a Jewish prisoner/labor camp.. As many locals wrote to the camp HQ soliciting for labor.

If you never seen The Boy in Striped Pajamas it is a good one time watch.

They knew.

Their complicity, tacit or otherwise, fell into two camps:

1) They supported the Nazi ideology and how it characterized Jews and other impacted minorities.

2) They lived in extreme fear and terror of Nazi reprisals.

Wikipedia summary.

It has been estimated that during the course of World War II 800,000 Germans were arrested by the Gestapo for resistance activities. It has also been estimated that 15,000 of those Germans were executed by the Nazis, although new evidence suggests the death count may have been up to 77,000.

There was also a little war or something going on at the same time.

The narrator said most of the poles surrounding the camp were expelled and their homes used for staff housing

Me too. Creepiest place I've ever been. The battlefield at Shiloh gave me a similar vibe.

(HD) Narrated Tour of Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II Birkenau.

This is a good tour on Youtube from 2015. Still hard to believe what was done to the prisoners of war.

And there it is. Took 6 post but I knew it was coming. No you fricking limp brain liberal piece of shite NO person in America ever sent people to death in such numbers and cruelty as the Nazis. Not anything close to it. Yes we had some slaves for a few years. So has every other country in the fricking world. And ACTUALLY the last country to outlaw slavery was in 2018 and the country was in Africa inslaving Africans you idiot DUMB piece of shite. Just shut your fricking mouth because you truly don’t know how retarded you are until you open it for one sentence

There is a Holodomor museum in Kiev.

Probably not currently doing tours virtual or otherwise.
