Documentary "Les Alliés face à la Shoah"

 

Germany        Eisenhower à Ohrdruf        12 avril 1945

 

 

Le 12 avril 1945,

le général Eisenhower pénètre

dans le camp d'Ohrdruf,

annexe de Buchenwald.

 

Découvrant

l'horreur du génocide juif,

il ordonne

que tous les soldats

qui ne sont pas

indispensables sur le front

voient le camp afin de comprendre

contre quoi ils se battent.

 

Parallèlement,

il câble

à Londres et Washington

pour que viennent au plus vite

les délégations officielles

et les journalistes.

 

Les jours suivants,

les premières images de l'enfer

sont filmées et diffusées

dans le monde entier.

 

En choisissant

de revenir sur le génocide

du point de vue

des quatre grands Alliés,

[ le documentaire

"Les Alliés face à la Shoah" ]

 propose une autre histoire

de la Seconde Guerre mondiale,

dévoilant les choix

et les motivations

qui guidèrent

Roosevelt, Churchill,

Staline et de Gaulle,

sur la base

de documents déclassifiés.

SS doctor Aribert Ferdinand Heim / 'Dr Death'    1914-1992

 

member of Hitler’s

elite Waffen-SS

and a medical doctor

at the Buchenwald,

Sachsenhausen

and Mauthausen

concentration camps.

 

[ ... ]

 

Dr. Heim was accused

of performing operations

on prisoners

without anesthesia;

removing organs

from healthy inmates,

then leaving them to die

on the operating table;

injecting poison,

including gasoline,

into the hearts of others;

and taking the skull

of at least one victim

as a souvenir.

 

After living below

the radar of Nazi hunters

for more than a decade

after World War II

— much of it in the German

spa town of Baden-Baden

where he had

a wife, two sons

and a medical practice

as a gynecologist —

he escaped capture

just as investigators

closed in on him

in 1962.

Carl Peter Værnet    1893-1965

 

A Danish Nazi,

SS Dr Carl Værnet,

conducted

medical experiments

on gay concentration camp

prisoners.

 

Unlike

most other Nazi doctors,

he was never put on trial

at Nuremburg.

 

Instead,

with Danish

and British collusion,

he was able

to escape to Argentina,

where he lived openly

and continued

his research

into methods

for the eradication

of homosexuality.

 

Værnet

was a Copenhagen doctor who,

realising the opportunities offered

by the homophobic policies

of the Third Reich,

joined the Nazi party

and enlisted in the SS

to pursue his research

to “cure” gay men.

 

This research

was conducted

on the personal authority

of Heinrich Himmler.

 

The Gestapo chief

demanded

the “extermination

of abnormal existence …

the homosexual

must be entirely eliminated”.

Le génocide des Tsiganes européens        1939-1945

 

Les Nazis

considéraient les Tsiganes

comme "racialement inférieurs",

et le destin de ceux-ci fut,

en de nombreux points,

parallèle à celui des Juifs.

 

Les Tsiganes

subirent l'internement,

le travail forcé

et beaucoup

furent assassinés.

 

Ils étaient aussi

soumis à la déportation

dans les camps

d'extermination.

 

Les Einsatzgruppe

(unités mobiles

d’extermination)

assassinèrent

des dizaines de milliers

de Tsiganes

dans les territoires de l'est

occupés par les Allemands.

 

En outre,

des milliers d’entre eux

furent tués

dans les camps

d'extermination

d'Auschwitz-Birkenau,

de Chelmno,

de Belzec,

de Sobibor

et de Treblinka.

 

Les nazis

incarcérèrent aussi

des milliers de Tsiganes

dans les camps

de concentration

de Bergen-Belsen,

de Sachsenhausen,

de Buchenwald,

de Dachau,

de Mauthausen

et de Ravensbrück.
