It’s pretty crazy, but not quite the craziest, like believing there’s a holocaust going on that allied intelligence doesn’t believe exists, so he fakes being Jewish and purposely lets himself be caught and sent to Auschwitz only to gather information, and escape. Just to have the Allies not believe him, so he does it again, takes photos for proof, escapes again, only to be caught by the USSR following the end of WWII and then shot upon escaping from their prison.

I remember Sally as a happy person, a caring human who believes in a just world - even though "my people" tried to erase him - only because of he is who he is. Sally, if you read this: Your reading at FDG in Frankfurt-Höchst was so inspiring, it made me become an even more political person who fights for a society that fights injustice - be it for humans or other living beings. I wish you the longest and happiest life ever. Thank you for your work. I will tell my son about you and your story.

When you understand the propaganda network the Nazi's used, it's easy to see how the SS knew exactly what was happening, and word most definitely got out, but it was said it was just a conspiracy against the great state that was the Reich. Every day German citizens would have heard rumors and said its being spread by British, Russian or American operatives or the like. Some people knew, and more were told, but only the ones who saw it could for sure say it happened. It's even where the deniers today come from, still confusing propaganda for reality. It's why they took pictures, because they knew people would say this never happened.

When some of the students (germans, btw) apologised to him for what their grandparents and great-grandparents had done, he said in a very serious and almost strict tone: you don't need to apologise, because it wasn't you who committed these crimes. I absolutely loved this attitude. He didn't seek revenge or feel resentment towards anybody. He just gave us one order: to not allow that horror to happen again.

This time it was his 2nd time visiting, his story is truly interesting, he would say his story about the past to the audience, after telling about his story we we’re allowed to question him (what he saw. Experienced) We also watched the movie with him, bought his books.

So tragic, but ultimately bittersweet that his secret was kept by an officer and the mother of his girlfriend (as opposed to his actual girlfriend). We need more stories of the great people that remained human during the war.

I was lucky enough to meet a holocaust survivor when i was in fifth grade. we took a trip to the museum in LA. One survivor gave us a speech at the end of her accounts being in a camp. She was only a little girl at the time, had blonde hair blue eyes but the guards still shaved her head stating "your kind doesnt deserve to have aryan hair"

Your story is a poignant reminder of the resilience and bravery of individuals facing unimaginable challenges. Solomon Perel's journey is both harrowing and inspiring, showcasing the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity.

I met him when I was in school 2004 in Leipzig.. He gave a speech there. He signed his book for me and I briefly talked to him. An amazing person, so wise and full of love and forgiveness rather than hatred. Very inspiring, I think about meeting him quite often. I must be said though that the story written in his book and what is shown in the well known movie "Hitlerjunge Salomon" is somewhat different than what this clip shows us...

He died almost a week ago. How was he like bro?

Imagine the stories this man could tell in a reunion

Excellent video.

I'm glad to find out this channel

I met him at a screening of his movie last year. That man is a living legend

Perel is currently 97 years old now. Unbelievable!

Great video as usual

I just love simple history channel the song was just amazing.

It's so sad just knowing how horrible people can be to eachother. Why can't people just let others be & live in peace

Bro this German soldier that helped him was a true real hero. He should have more recognition

He came to my school in germany in i believe 2012 and told his story, i still have a signed copy of his book

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Perel while I was at school. Still have - and will never get rid of - a signed a copy of his autobiography.

He died two weeks ago… I can’t believe it… Rest in peace 🙏🏻 2.2.2023

This may be the craziest WWII story I've ever heard

It’s truly an incredible story. He actually came to my school a couple of years ago and his visit was truly fascinating. He‘s a great guy with an extraordinary life story. He even signed my book about him.

I wish they didn't use such an epic music. His story is incredible but also full of sorrow and fear and pain. He lost half his family and had to buddle up all his emotions for years! 😕

yes such poor taste but i am guessing it is an american production

There was a movie about his extreme circumstances, that my German class put on a few years ago. I already know all about him. It was quite unique and intense, and frankly he’s a total badass.

When I was in high school, in 11th grade, Shlomo visited us and told us his truly amazing story. It's nice to see a video that serves as a refreshment of his story. 2 things, he told us his made up/fake name was Joseph Peters, not Purgel or however it is said in the video, but I suspect Peters may be a shortening or a nickname. He also said that his fake identity stuck with him for the rest of his life and still lives both as Shlomo Perel and Joseph Peters to this day. Besides that, good video as always.

What an amazing story.

Those moments when life provide a better story than any movie that ever was

There's a great documentary online called "The greatest story never told" Really a beautiful and awe-inspiring film

I remember stumbling across the movie maybe 20 plus years ago. Never forgot it.

This is an entire movie man. Props.

His a living definition of Plot Armor

We are still discovering things from the war to this day. Millions of stories being told and millions lost to time and deaths of these legends.

I read a book called “The Boy Who Dared” and after watching this i realized that this is that same story. So good!

There needs to be a movie made about this ! Awesome story of survival

Hello simple history these videos are the best they always help me with. Homework don’t ever stop making these

"there is another Germany" wow that broke my heart

I met Solomon Perel when he spoke in Flensburg in 1994. I have his autograph in my copy of his book [Ich war Hitlerjunge Salomon] and I saw the film "Europa Europa" based on his story in 1993. In his words, his life during the war was a tension between his father's instruction "Vergiß nicht, wer du bist" [Don't forget who you are] and his mother's instruction "Du sollst leben!" [You should/must live!"]. When he signed my book [well, the piece of paper I carried back to my book in New Zealand] he wrote in Yiddish "Du sollst leben!". He had to forget who he was to live. Although, ultimately he never completely forgot who he was. He also wrote "Schalom", Shalom, peace, on that piece of paper. I think all three statements are intrinsic to the finer qualities of the human spirit. Vielen dank Sally.

I researched him only to find he unfortunately passed away this previous February 2nd 2023

I love how the animation on this channel has improved over the years

"Day 1034... They still have no idea I'm Jewish." Seriously though. What an incredible struggle through a hellish time. But it's good to hear of the few people who weren't involved with the atrocities actually helping Solomon.

Today marks a whole year since his passing. May he rest in peace and live on through his incredible story. 🌹🕊🌹

Apparently this guy went to every single school in Germany. That alone is an amazing accomplishment in and of itself
