A German historian stumbled across a series of saddening photos secretly taken during the beginning stages of the Holocaust of Jewish families being deported from their homes by the Nazi regime.
The Nazi Holocaust of the Jews is the greatest and most horrific slaughter of people in human history, and will remain in that unenviable position right up to the start of the great Tribulation Jesus warns of in Matthew 24. In our day, we are watching yet again the marginalizing and isolating of the Jews as an ethnically-identifiable people as the world chooses sides against them. Have you picked your side yet? We have, Am Yisrael Chai.
“For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.” Matthew 24:21 (KJB)
The Holocaust started by degrees, with Nazi soldiers using ten cent bars of soap to write slurs and threats against the Jews on storefront windows. A songwriter once wrote “From small things, mama, big things one day come” and is that not true? From ten cent bars of soap to a tsunami of destruction the likes of which this world is still struggling to comprehend, such is the lot of the people “chosen in the furnace of affliction”. Pray for the Jews and Israel, and be a blessing to them. The Lord Himself will thank you for it one day sooner, sooner than you think.
Secret photos of Jews being deported by Nazi Germany during the Holocaust discovered for first time in 80 years
FROM THE NY POST: The 13 photos taken over 80 years ago illuminate one of the most sinister points in history, showing henchmen of the Third Reich forcing Jewish families and members of the community in the Silesian city of Breslau, today Wrocław in Poland, to gather outside a restaurant near the train station for deportation.
Surrounded by armed members of The Gestapo — the secret police force that mercilessly investigated and exposed enemies of the State during the Nazis party’s reign — the unsuspecting civilians carrying troves of luggage could not imagine what was in store for them.
“They look quite calm. It seems clear they did not know they were about to be murdered,” Steffen Heidrich, the historian who recognized the photos, told The Observer last month. “This was fairly early in the history of these deportations and so they obviously did not expect it.”
Almost all seen in the pictures are believed to have been killed only a few days after they were taken by SS leader and orchestrated of the Holocaust Heinrich Himmler’s mobile killing units — the Einsatzgruppen — in a mass shooting in Lithuania in November 1941, while others are believed to have been killed on a later date in Poland in April 1942, documents show.
On Nov. 21, 1941, over 1,000 of Breslau’s residents were detained by members of the Gestapo, then stuffed inhumanly into trains for four days to be deported to Fort IX of the Kaunas Fortress in Kovno, Lithuania. Upon their arrival, members of Einsatzgruppe A would be tasked to kill the deportees on orders passed down by one of the leading architects and overseers of the “Final Solution,” Reinhard Heydrich.
Again, on April 9, 1942, nearly 1,000 Jews were rounded up outside the same restaurant before being transported by train to Izbica — a ghetto in eastern Poland with an almost equal death rate to the infamous Warsaw ghetto. Two people on this later transport survived, according to The Observer.
Heidrich discovered the photographs in an archive in Dresden, Germany, while working with fellow researchers to catalog a large cache.
“When I first picked these photographs up it was an electrifying moment,” Heidrich told the outlet.
The killings would be carried out by a sub-group of the mobile death unit, Einsatzkommando 3 under the command of Karl Jäger. It’s estimated between 45,000 to 50,000 Jews were murdered at the fort. CLICK TO SEE THE PHOTOS
