Ken Burns wastes way too much oxygen, himself, and then people arguing how hard he's lying.

I’m going to politely bow out now since these threads never find common ground and only serve to foster bad feelings. I appreciate your perspectives Bristoe and I don’t know if you and I can find common ground here.

Well said. This was my introduction to the topic. Episode 20 of the British series The World at War, mid-1970s. YRMV

Seems to be a full version here.

Many people certainly died under poor conditions from various causes in the German camps, the vast majority of whom during the last months of the war. It was undoubtedly a massive tragedy, one among many such tragedies that occurred in all areas of the world affected by WWII.

That looks like a massive tragedy? Just a common way of dying? I watched the first installment of the people dying of "poor conditions" and the many poor condition deaths ??? We all know it happened, it even showed the German troops filming what they were doing. Even those killers knew why those innocent people it was more than "poor conditions" that was causing millions of people---not just Jewish, to die!
Once I saw it was a Ken Burns production, knew I wouldn't have watched it if I knew it was done by him! The pictures however, weren't fake and Burns didn't take them.

Against my better judgement I turned on the show. And then this came across "the myth of Americans being good people is by and large false"

I lasted 15 minutes and I turned off the tv. More socialist BS from Ken Burns.

I watched the Civil War documentary by Burns 30 years ago and it was very good. Evidently Ken got fired up by Black Lives Matter and these days he can't help but put America hating Lib BS into his shows. In that light, he is perfect for "WE HATE TRUMP" PBS.

Yes I watched 15 minutes of his country music documentary and I learned that Negros invented country music.

Not seeing any documentation of what that's a picture of, I'd assume it represents one of the many cases where partizans were summarily executed in the field under the authority of the military. A partizan is someone who, absent uniform, is working with the enemy of the occupation force, in this case, I'm assuming, the Soviet Union (NKVD).

War is a terrible business, and summary execution of captured partizans wasn't unusual. I guarantee that our allies, the Soviets, engaged in it, too, and likely with less care as to who.

At any rate, that doesn't appear to be an action that took place in a concentration camp.

We don't have footage of the Katyn Forest Massacre, but I imagine that was pretty horrible. And the Soviets were our allies.

Atrocities occurred on all sides. Even the US and Britain.

If there's an agenda attached to the topic, the documentary is a lie,....and there's an agenda attached to pretty much everything that get's broadcast over the propaganda box or in movies or music these days.

The agenda gets funding.

Look up who funded Ken Burns documentary about white Americans being the origin of the Nazis.

Eyes to see, ears to hear. Some people got 'em,....some people don't.

It's a strange phenomenon. I often wonder where it comes from. Then I read John 8:42-47.

in my ever so humble personal opinion, Ken Burns has zero credibility as a historian. Nothing he produces is worth a warm bucket of spit.

Here's the agenda:

https://www.timesofisrael.com/the-u...y-by-ken-burns-the-us-and-the-holocaust/

Excerpt:

Some points are more steeped in history than others. Adolf Hitler, it is documented, was greatly inspired by America’s Jim Crow laws when thinking about how to restrict the rights of Jews in Germany. He drew inspiration from Manifest Destiny, and how American Indians were removed from their land by rotten treaties and placed in reservations.

In other words,...It's Caucasian American's fault.

“It’s not one of the things that will go down in the long annals of good things America did. It goes in a different book,” says Prof. Deborah Lipstadt, forever the voice of reason, coming to terms with something nobody wants to hear — and that she undoubtedly wishes she did not have to say.

She’s speaking about the American response to — and, in some ways, even its shared culpability in — the Holocaust.


MF'ers

Deborah E. Lipstadt was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on March 30, 2022 as the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism, with the rank of Ambassador. As Special Envoy, she leads efforts to advance U.S. foreign policy to counter antisemitism throughout the world.

Special Envoy Lipstadt has a storied career as a historian, academic, and author. At Emory University’s Tam Institute for Jewish Studies, which she helped to found, she served as the Dorot Professor of Modern Jewish History and Holocaust Studies. She has also taught at the University of Washington, UCLA and Occidental College. Special Envoy Lipstadt also served as the director of the Brandeis-Bardin Institute and was a research fellow at the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

in other words she see Antisemitism like I see blades of grass in my yard.

Yep. War is hell. We should avoid it at all costs. Atrocities are all too common during war.
