All involved should be commended for this series. These stories are important and they are really well told here.
@Elle_TF
This series is outstanding, well done DW.
@TheAnthoula14
Heartbreaking. Thank you again to DW for producing this series. For those of us lifelong amateur WW II historians, we don't often get to see or read something new. Following these real people's lives is a treasure. The fate of the Kohns was devastating to hear. When he was worrying about barbers and dining room tables, I thought to myself, how many others worried about these trivial things, utterly unaware of how bad things were about to get...

Excellent series. Ich bin äußerst dankbar dafür. Perhaps I missed it in the documentary, but Willy Cohn's oldest daughter, who had emigrated to Denmark, eventually made it to Palestine. She died at age 90, in 2015. Given the unexpected and horrific end for Willy and his family, it was nice to learn Willy and Trudy's oldest daughter survived.

This is an excellent series. Extracts of the life of real people across a broad spectrum of political views

This series is incredibly well done. It never gets any easier to travel through this timeline, but the insights into so many different perspectives is really valuable and well chosen. I want to sob, but I am glad I have watched this all the same.

The girl who spent her childhood in Japan - I find it fascinating how bright she was at such a young age, and how she was able to see things clearly, unlike those who grew up in Germany and could not see through the propaganda. She showed strong compassion and sense of social justice.

I will recommend this series to everyone. It is tragic and heartbreaking, but provides tremendous insight into how these things happen. Don't be foolish enough to think it can't happen again. At some level, it already has, in countries all over the world.

I feel like yelling at the screen, “Leave, Leave now!”

This is what happens when your government blames a group of people for the countries problems, when propaganda is easily believed and truth isn't. When a dictator is worshiped without question, when insanity rules the land.
@reneelibby4885
I will watch this series, but I'll have to take it slowly. Hitting a little too close to home. People don't see things until it is too late for them. We are no different. today. Exchanging one hated group for another to scapegoat and blame all problems on isn't hard to see if one has eyes to see.
@Pilot_engineer_19
This a more than excellent series. Great job! Keep up the good work!😊
@taylor915-i5w
This episode was the hardest to watch.
@ant-space
Although it was to be expected, I am severely shocked by the ending of this episode.

Fantastic and sadly very timely piece of work. Would be great if you could get some proper subtitles in some languages to make it more accessible to a wider audience. The world really needs to remember these stories as it prepares to commit the exact same mistakes all over again. Thank you 💙
@ohmypaper
Thinking that Cohns returned from Palestine when they had a chance to stay there is devastating. This is a very powerful series. Thank you DW ❤. Lest we forget.

We’ve all seen the videos from the death camps. But, there is something almost more affecting about witnessing the daily, weekly, monthly curtailing of rights and the sickening transformation of society to a place where needless and wanton cruelty become so commonplace.
