The Accountant of Auschwitz (2018) | Full Documentary

History is repeating itself, and you say "never forget".

@youtube have you no shame to interrupt this documentary every five minutes with frivolous ads?

The decision to prosecute him at that age was wrong. I say that, because they would never have heard of Oskar Groning, if it wasn't for him deciding to start talking about his experiences at Auschwitz. The reason he decided to start talking about them, was because he heard people stating that the holocaust never happened. That there were no gas chambers at Auschwitz. He had of course been there. So he took the step that extremely few members of the SS who worked in the concentration camps took. That is to openly talk of their experiences there. He should have been commended for this decision, to counter the words of the deniers. Instead, they went after him. Even though there is proof that he didn't want to work in the camp, and had put in for a transfer to the front. Which was denied. I find this disgusting. He didn't kill anyone personally. He didn't want to be there. He put in for a transfer. People didn't volunteer to work in the extermination camps. You were sent there, under orders. Sure, some of them turned into complete monsters when they got there. These people should have been tried for their crimes. Admin clerks should not have.

I think a film should be made entitled,"And They Continued to Live" based on post- WWII German military and civilian survivors.

Thousands were let go at the time, and others escaped. What of the death squads, camps guards and many others. Nuremberg was limited or the trials would have gone on for years. This man wanted to tell the truth so history would not be forgotten.

All the staff of the death camps knew what was happening. People talk, to their families, to their friends, to their colleagues. Especially when under stress. They all knew.

Im Armenian i feel their pain the Turks dint even acknowledge the genocide that was committed against Armenians

I believe that this man, Oskar Groning, at the end of his life tried to do what he could and was well prepared to be an example of indisputable testimony in the face of sickening Holocaust deniers everywhere - he did the only thing he could and for at least that, he deserves a measure of recognition for trying to do the right thing finally. Forgiveness belongs to the person who gives it to choose whether they feel like they want to give it, it is an individual thing and should therefore not be criticised by those who choose not to give it. Each person's business is their own entirely when it comes to the matter of forgiveness.

This isn't about punishing the 90-year-old for what he did when he was 20. Pretty sure he isn't going to do it again. It's about deterring others from doing the same thing.

Thanks for the video. Such materials should always be public

Why wasn’t this man put in trial sooner? Too late for justice.

How many train engineers were prosecuted? They knowingly drove the trains to the death camps no?

Thank you for sharing.

Why is it that Germany still understands the importance of treating holocaust denial as a crime better than the USA?

Watching this in 2024 is quite something.

The very worst crime against humanity . The very best documentary on YouTube. Edit- not related to this subject but i have Erich Kempkas mother of pearl cut throat razor still in its cardboard sleeve. Retrieved by my Grandad in Berlin May 1945. Kempka was Hitlers driver

Those goons in Virginia have absolutely no idea what it is they are blurting about, they just want to make noise. Empty barrels make the most noise.

If you scream" from the river to the sea"... think many times because the future will punish you.

Everyone who is complaining about the adds, it’s not YouTube’s fault it’s the person that uploaded its fault, they are the ones that decide how many adds a video has - they are the one trying to make money from it. (From someone who use to earn money on YouTube)
