kind of surreal that he got caught when he went to the market to buy a bunch of grapes...

Very interesting read, before long interviews like this won't be possible.
Reading some of that AMA reminds me of how lucky I was to have heard Rose Van Thyn talk a few times when I was younger.

How people can't believe in the doctrine of depravity is beyond me after these kinds of accounts....how does a human being treat other human beings like this ???

It's really sad that this part of the German atrocities is not touched on near enough in schools

I think the time period helped. Nations could still be isolated. Meaning people did not know there were alternatives. Very little mass communication like a television platform.
The madness to is in the manpower, expense, and resource the Nazi's used to operate these camps and their infrastructure. Had they not put so much effort into genocide, would they have been tougher to defeat? The resource and time needed to locate, capture, imprison, and maintain camps had to be substantial. All this while fighting a World War? Shows the idiocy and madness of Hitler and the Nazis

I know the German people were desperate after ww1 but it's madness to let your nation fall into the hands of the likes of hitler.

They took 300 men off the train to work in a shoe factory in Ohrdruf. After about four weeks I was transferred to Peiskretscham where I helped build bridges. After a few months there I was then transferred to Blechhammer. It was there that my name became 177153. Blechhammer was hell. Punishments were a daily routine and my front teeth were knocked out here. I was there during the winter. One time we had to stand for several hours and one person couldn't contain their urine and peed on himself. The man was hanged. After about two years at Blechhammer we went on a death march to Gross Rosen. Buchenwald was the next camp. Then altenberg and waldenburg. This is a brief timeline!
No words
We are so spoiled

Agreed, it's crazy that an entire nation could become that brainwashed that quickly, and right on the heels of WW1 which was the worst event the world had ever seen up until that point. I get that not every German was a member of the SS, but the fact that they all went along with it seems insane to me.

Wow. Great read, thanks for posting.
Do you think Mr. Flescher and other survivors loathe people like SJWs that spend their time playing the victim card and bitching about how "awful" things are in today's world?

The Emory student that said she had never been so afraid as she was when she saw Trump 2016 written in chalk on a sidewalk needs to read this survivor's AMA.

Something makes me suspect yes. When someone whines about how much pain they're in because of Trump written on the sidewalk in chalk or one of their professors says they are old enough to choose what they want for a Halloween costume I think it'd be nice to remind them what real pain is and the stories of those who suffered through it.
As someone said above, we really are spoiled.

It really is mind boggling that this happened in a western country not that long ago. Even though Germany always was good for the occasional pogram, it's still crazy.

As a black jewish person, I've been told that there were hundreds of thousands of blacks killed in the holocaust. Did you come across any yourself? If so, did their treatment differ from yours?
I'm just curious...has anyone ever heard anything like this before?
For the record, Mr. Flescher said he didn't recall seeing any.

This is clearly a SJW trying to make the holocaust about blacks.

The fate of black people from 1933 to 1945 in Nazi Germany and in German-occupied territories ranged from isolation to persecution, sterilization, medical experimentation, incarceration, brutality, and murder. However, there was no systematic program for their elimination as there was for Jews and other groups.
-From the holocaust museum article
I've recently thought that if there is a group of people in America who should be more upset than blacks are currently with white people, it clearly should be Jews that are more upset with Germans. Not to downplay the atrocity of American slavery and segregation, but considering the size and scope and how recent the holocaust is in history, you would think Jews would have a better case for indignation. Yet, they quietly go about their professional lives, becoming doctors, lawyers and other successful and productive members of society.

I was first sent to Drancy, a transit camp. I was then transported in a cattle car packed with people with no food or water and one bucket in the middle to use as a toilet. I was 16 18 at the time. The smell was unfathomable. After six days in the train the train came to stop. The guards started to count men. They selected 300 men. I was number 298. We were taken off the train. The train then continued on its way to Auschwitz and everyone was killed. I will never forget the number 298.
