Holocaust denial is the negationist and antisemitic claim that Nazi Germany and its collaborators did not commit genocide against European Jews during World War II.
BERLIN JANUARY 27: This is a version of a previously released video at the Dachau concentration camp. That version contained a photo of the crematorium at Dachau that was taken from a distance and included images of the dead that had been blurred out to comply with YouTube’s content policy. In spite of that, YouTube made the decision to place an age restriction on that video anyway, which essentially ensures that its reach will be cut off.
To our shame, we are uploading this sanitized version in hopes that we can reach a broader audience and contribute to the expansion on education on the Holocaust. We feel strongly that you cannot fully understand the horrors of the Holocaust without actually showing the horrors of the Holocaust, but in this particular case, our hands are tied. Our hope is that YouTube will revisit this policy and reconsider the restrictions that they have placed on this video and on the videos of other history creators. Please consider watching this video, presented ad free, in its entirety and sharing it with others.
Before there were places like Auschwitz, Buchenwald and Sobibor, there was Dachau. Located just outside of Munich, this was the first concentration camp of the Third Reich that became the model for all of the others. In April 1945, Dachau was liberated by men of the 42nd & 45th Infantry and 20 Armored Divisions. In this episode, we’re walking through to show the history behind this awful place.

Holocaust denial is the negationist and antisemitic claim that Nazi Germany and its collaborators did not commit genocide against European Jews during World War II, ignoring overwhelming historical evidence to the contrary. Theories assert that the genocide of Jews is a fabrication or exaggeration.
