Did the Navy ABANDON the Marines at Guadalcanal??? | History Traveler Episode 402

That you for shedding light on these historical facts. Great work.

Thx, for pointing this out😢

Thank you for all these videos! I’m so jealous that you get to see so much of the world!

It’s all so heartbreaking

Thank you for mentioning the Roma people. We shall never forget. ✡️✝️🙏🏽

My grandmothers brother was part of the Allied occupation force's staff that was acting as, and later supervised, the local government in Regensberg immediately after the war ended. Pre-war he was an senior artillery NCO, and later on during the war he was promoted to a warrant officer and was trained in government administration and the German language, but he already had some experience with the language due to older family members who spoke it.

Thank you JD for another educational video. We have been to Germany three times and were unaware. When we return in a few years we will not be...

I went to Regensburg 10 years ago because it was a river boat cruise stop. I had no idea of the stumbling stones nor did I consider that people were deported from here. I was such an ignorant American tourist.

And there’s the people that say the holacaust didn’t happen. Maybe it wouldn’t have happened in the history books if the Nazis win maybe that’s how they see it the white supremacist and radical Islam.

Thank you for pointing out these stumbling stones.

I was in Germany over Christmas 2024 and got to teach my sister about the golden stumbling stones. In the town of Minden in Westfalia. There are a number of them in the streets leading to the town center.

Wasn't familiar with Theresienstadt and found it interesting that many of those on the stumbling stones you featured were in their 70s age wise, so from Wikipedia - "To lull victims into a false sense of security, the SS advertised Theresienstadt as a "spa town" where Jews could retire, and encouraged them to sign fraudulent home purchase contracts, pay "deposits" for rent and board, and surrender life insurance policies and other assets." Edit - to add, Wikipedia also reveals a lot of interesting history about the town (Czech: Terezin), a former military fortress in the Czech Republic

My career had me at the neighboring city from where I live in Pennsylvania. I worked in a public school district as a network administrator. I befriended many teachers and gravitated towards the history departments. One man told me of the house he purchased. The previous occupants/ owners were survivors of the holocaust camps. They had a stone at the edge of the driveway with their numbers inscribed into the stones.

The stumbling stones are honorable and is as it should be lest someone forgets the true horror of being hunted down as if they were vermin. I’m actually sick while typing this from the effects of this true horror. When I see war reenactments they could never capture the true horrors of an oppressive villain military mindset. Nor its true victims

The holocaust should never be forgotten nor repeated, tragically it is taking place in the Middle east today

The last two were probably killed as soon as they arrived as they would have been too old to have value to the machine of the 3rd R.

Yet one more reason to loathe the catholic church! Those depictions should be removed!!

Great video, JD. That church at the beginning was beautiful and scary, at the same time. My grandfather had some pictures he had taken when he was there. If I can find them, I will send you copies of them. Thank you for keeping the memories alive for these people

I take a photo every time I see one of these, JD.

Thats a powerful reminder of the lives taken.

On our trip to Amsterdam and Germany last year, these stumbling stones were all over Amsterdam, and Germany of course. I was told that the reason so many buildings in Amsterdam from the 14th-16th century are still standing, is that the SS saw the Dutch were seen as racially equal aryans, so their buildings were spared.

Great, informative video ❤ It's sad that some people are as easy to fool today..."They're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats"... We haven't come that far...😢

I can’t believe that carving is still on that church. If it was in the UK it would be gone.

Very educational video thankyou❤❤❤

Can I just say, you provide better content than the history channel.

Disneylandia mi way.

C'mon.

C'mon.

It's devastating to see how many of these people died as soon as they were sent to the camps. The old were considered "useless" there. Cherish your elders for they hold your history. 💔

I have been to Europe countless times on business and for pleasure, as I worked for a Belgian company for many years. I never knew of these markers. A sobering tribute and something we should never let the world forget. Thanks J.D.

The pronunciation of Regensburg is the same as your ex-president, Reagan with burg on the end. 😉

Awesome buildings

To read or hear 6 million people were murdered by the Nazi’s makes it distant and remote. To see names, dates and locations of the murdered brings back life to their stories. A very sobering video to watch.

Thank you for this tour and historical details and for stopping and remembering lost lives.

Well done , such a Good video , so hard to see those stumbling stones 😥 have never heard about them before, what an impactful visual response , love from Ireland ☘☘

Pigs are unclean for everyone, it's just not understood that way

Different times, different circumstances, but the sculptures reminded me of the Capitoline Wolf in Rome, Italy with the she-wolf suckling the twins, Romulus & Remus.

Love your channel. Fun fact:

The Jewish holocaust is the only event that questioning any evidence pertaining to it outside of the common narrative is protected by law in most of Europe.
For example if you ask why the main delousing (gas) chambers had doors opening inwards making it impossible for guards to open the doors had there been people horizontal and in piles would see you in court.
Interesting that youre not allowed to question any part of it

Thank you for sharing those lives so brutally taken 😢

Thank you, very much for your interest in history

🙌😢🇦🇷🌹

Your content is fantastic.

I went to an afternoon tea at a friends house. She had the most beautiful china coffee pot and matching cups and saucers. I commented on how beautiful they were and she told me their history. Her husband inherited them from his grandmother. The grandmother found them in the house they moved into in Germany. The Jewish family left the house and left everything behind. I immediately stood up and left. I felt sick to my stomach. I have never spoken to her since.

One thing I can add, The Judensau on the cathedral is facing south towards Neupfarrplatz where there was the Jewish quarter of the town. In the 1990s, excavations led to the discovery of the remains of a Gothic synagogue. Today there is a monument there called „Misrach”

Similar plaques in Amsterdam 😢
