Hieno 5-osainen ruotsalais-dokumentti 2. maailmansodasta heikäläisten silmin osui vasta eilen tutkaani, https://areena.yle.fi/1-73654552.

Kahdessa päivässä tuli katseltua kaikki osat, niin kiintoisia ja hienosti toteutettuja olivat. Ilman tuota on sotahistorian tuntemus meillä maallikoilla pahasti vajaata, ja samojen virheiden riski vaanii.

Toinen maailmansota ruotsalaisten silmin

Millaista oli elää Ruotsissa toisen maailmansodan aikana? Mitä ihmiset ajattelivat tapahtumien vyöryessä niin lähellä omaa kotimaata? Toisen maailmansodan päättymisestä on tänä vuonna kulunut 80 vuotta, ja SVT pyysi ruotsalaisia lähettämään sodanaikaisia kirjeitä, filmejä, valokuvia ja päiväkirjoja. Ympäri maata saapuneiden tuhansien viestien pohjalta syntyi viisiosainen kertomus Ruotsista ja sodasta.

The womb is still warm where it crawled out from.

The infamous Zyklon B was manufactured by a subsidiary of IG Farben, now known as Bayer AG.

During World War II, starting in 1941, Bayer AG (then I.G. Farben) had a chemical plant built in the immediate vicinity of the #Auschwitz concentration camp. When, in 1942, neither Soviet forced laborers nor the prisoners of Auschwitz were available, #Bayer established its own concentration camp, the Buna-Monowitz concentration camp. Due to the inhumane living and working conditions, large numbers of people died there or were murdered in the nearby gas chambers at Auschwitz-Birkenau as soon as they were no longer fit for work. The life expectancy of the inmates was less than four months, and over 25,000 people died on the construction site alone.

Since virtually no one was held accountable in the former Federal Republic of Germany and everything simply carried on as before, it is hardly surprising that another #genocide and the Eastern Campaign occurred. #ww2 #IGfarben #zyklonb #holocaust #palestine #lebanon

German Extermination Camp in Bełżec (SS-Sonderkommando Belzec / Dienststelle Belzec der Waffen SS), Poland
Part 1 of 2: Establishment and Operation of the Camp

The extermination camp in Bełżec, located near the Bełżec railway station in the Lublin region of Poland, was established in early November 1941 as the first of three German camps of Operation “Reinhardt,” aimed at the extermination of the Jewish population of the General Government.

The official operation of the camp began on March 17, 1942, when the first transport of Jews from the Lublin ghetto arrived. Between 430,000 and 450,000 people were murdered in Bełżec, mainly Jews from Poland but also from Austria, Germany, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary.

The camp used stationary gas chambers with exhaust gas, making it the first such facility in the occupied territories. The commanders were Christian Wirth and Gottlieb Hering, and the staff consisted of about 30 SS members, supported by German guards and prisoners assigned to the so-called “sonderkommando.” The camp was a site of mass, systematic extermination, where victims were immediately sent to the gas chambers upon arrival, and their bodies buried in mass graves.
