Amazing series. Should be mandatory viewing in schools. 

The end of this one hit hard. It felt like we really got an insight into Willie and his family and there seemed to be some hope. It shows the true loss which is sometimes lost in discussions about how many people were killed. Stories like these often get lost.

Every diary gives incredible insight.

This series is outstanding, well done DW.

All involved should be commended for this series. These stories are important and they are really well told here.

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...

@ProckGnosis

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 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.

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

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.

6:55 this “birthday parade” sends chills down my spine. Too close to home. Way too close. What are we doing people? We said “NEVER AGAIN” — what did we actually mean by that? “Never again” unless we needed to sell cars to US? Come on. UK, you, of all should see this for what it is. Americans can be forgiven for not being taught it, but the time is now (no matter who you are) to learn this history before it’s too late. NEVER AGAIN. NEVER. NEVER!

@change691

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.

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

@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.

@lextalionis3754

This is, by far, the best work DW has done. 

Thank you.

@nelsongeraldes

Extremely hooked to this doc series, congrats DW. And thanks for making my workload less boring.

@oqu3523

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 💙

@user-werenotlucky

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.
