Soviet concentration camp in Sosva, Sverdlovsk region, Russia (North Ural Forced Labor Camp, Sevurallag). No less than 150,000 people were shot. My grandfather was shot there. But Efraim Zuroff is not interested in pursuing the criminals who committed atrocities there. He never even called them criminals. Double standards.

@@cheezarose Agree with you, but... My great-grandfather was killed in a Soviet concentration camp. Not just WAS, but killed. Zuroff not agree with the equating of National Socialism and Communism: "If the Holocaust loses its unique position in human history, it will be a tragedy." If Zuroff don't care about the death of my great-grandfather and millions like him in Soviet camps, then I don't care about the death of his relatives in the Nazi camps. (I think it's fair.) By the way, Zuroff participates in conferences with Russian Nazis Dmitry Klensky, Dmitry Linter, Maxim Reva. They use his for their own purposes. You won't see Ribbentrop's grandson in the German Bundestag, and Molotov's grandson, Vyacheslav Nikonov, sits in the Russian Duma. But Ribbentrop and Molotov are two bloody executioners, besides, Molotov is much bloodier.

Dr. Efraim Zuroff, you are doing a fantasic job on behalf of 'billions' of relatives/friends/lovers/family members who lost someone to the EVIL that was Nazi germany. We owe justice to the memory of all those poor victims and their families. No forgiveness can ever be deserved for such evil crimes against humanity, in my opinion, not on this earth at least. Great interview.

Instead, even with WW1 in recent memory, WW@ came into play. Why, because we didn't show germany they couldn't get away with it.

WWII Ended in 1945 for most of the planet...these guys are still fighting it 75 years on, they have never relented in tracking down the butchers, the murderers and the torturers. Incredible levels of dedication and commitment from these folks. As a non-Jew, I have nothing but absolute respect for the way they have relentlessly pursued the Nazi's who committed these atrocities against them and others. As an aside, this is a fantastic channel. Very high quality content from the small selection I have seen so far.

Wow, any remaining Nazis must be very old this long after the war... would never have thought that there would be 100s left re hunting for them. My mother, who was 12 when the war started for the UK, would have been 92 this spring if she were alive today to give some context to that. I agree with holding them accountable. I also visited the camps and feel scarred from the visit. I took pictures so as to never forget and I've never looked at the pictures. I can't forget; the images feel burned into my consciousness. EVERYONE SHOULD VISIT. When visiting the ovens - the last stop on the tour -, you could tell that nearly every visitor felt traumatised by the experience, and at one point, someone began wailing in way I've never heard following the death of a loved one. It was a wail for the ages of human inhumanity. I have no doubt that their cries expressed what we were all feeling.

I've just finished his book: "Journey with the Enemy" written together with the Lithuanian authoress Ruta Vanagaite. I'm astonished by how the countries occupied by the Nazis all jumped to carry out their orders. The victims of Ponar were almost entirely shot by Lithuanians. The Nazis put a crate of bottles of vodka near the pits so that the killers could take a swig just before shooting the next row of Jews, all lined up beside the pits.

Being has a tendency to 'return' to clusters ='the nature of solidarity' -a desire for empathy -(Wave)-(yin) and also, Being has a tendency to 'exist' as individuals ='the nature of self-expension' -a desire for breed-(Particle)-(Yang) Likewise, humans have two elements. We must realize that we all have both left and right elements =Solidarity and Self reliance No one has only one element. so 'Sum' derived from 'two poles' , (thesis, antithesis, synthesis) To develop intellect and ethics by harmonizing the two, It is good to realize it and balance it properly But A few people polarized the crowd(political partisanship) without balancing themselves. And They stole only the sum, only the synthesis from the triangle composition. Now We all have to get out of this deceptive situation. This is not the time for us to hate each other. We have to track down those who have been manipulating us.

It's important to note that many German soldiers were willing to go to the horrors of the Eastern Front rather than participate in the camps. It is also important to know that there are those who expressed remorse, especially those who were so tormented that they committed suicide, despite their not being in any danger of prosecution.

It is unfortunate that most if not all of the most guilty war criminals are long gone and what we are left with is the "also rans" who are liable to prosecution by virtue of their longevity over their contemporaries rather than the degree of their guilt. So Mengele lived out his life in South America but a 98 year old office clerk at Auschwitz might still be liable to prosecution.

I’m sure the people who suffered at the hands of these monsters would disagree. I understand your point but, our view on this is warped by the passage of time. We aren’t as angry about it because it has little to do with what we view as our daily lives. Still for those who have died or suffered because of these people, to generations and families wiped out, seeing these men get their just deserts is worth it. I knew a Holocaust survivor and he was still angry underneath it all. He lost absolutely everything. He became an orphan and had to leave Europe completely. This regime completely tore apart the life he could have had and the life he could have known. Even if our Nazi hunter hets to these men after they pass, at least their true colors will be revealed.

In context with what this guy is saying, and the difficulties in bringing such criminals to justice, let's also look at the Israeli soldiers and police who've been designated as War Criminals by the international community, which Israel refuses to surrender for trial.

Some of the quotes from their autobiographies are "I was never taught at West Point to prosecute war like this", "we were gonna win the war regardless of the A-bomb droppings anyway.....this was so unnecessary", "if we lost the war we would have been rightly prosecuted for being war criminals" and many more honest but remorseful comments these leaders made on record.

Gyökér.

I Like that the host let's the guest talk without the interruptions. However, letting the things be told without fact checking washes the journalistic credibility. Many things can be said about Franjo Tuđman, first president of Croatia, but he was most certainly NOT Holocaust denier. He fought in WW2 as partisan and against ustaše regieme, was one of the youngest generals of Tito's army. He was in Jasenovac post war and his commerades that were caught by ustaše were sent to Jasenovac during the war. As historian, he challenged the absurde claims that over 700 000 people were slaughtered in Jasenovac. He was not the only one and Yugoslavia most likely put this number when seeking damages what the war. He was not the only one to challenge thsi claim, spread mostly by Serbian Orthodox church. On 22 April 1998, Tuđman received the credentials of the first Israeli ambassador to Croatia, Natan Meron. In his speech Tuđman said, among other things: During the Second World War, within the Quisling regime in Croatia, Holocaust crimes were also committed against members of the Jewish people. The Croatian public then, during WWII, and today, including the Croatian government and me personally, have condemned the crimes that the Ustaše committed not only against Jews but also against democratic Croats and even against members of other nations in the Independent State of Croatia.

Please do some justice to Palestinian people as well.
