3. The facts of the matter!!!
Taz Man ,   USA   (03.27.13)
Let set the record straight! The majority of people killed at Dachau were Christians--period! Read the facts for one-self. Ynet conveniently left that fact out! Many true Christians' died trying to help the Jews! It's funny how that is rarely mentioned--sad! God bless Israel and His Jerusalem!!! A Christian Zionist

"Tazman"...you have no idea what you're talking about. You must be one of those replacement theology Christians- giving true Zionist supporters of the Jewish people who are christian a bad name. Yes, there were those gentile Christians that helped that ended up in camps- very few, but those of Hebrew ethnicity; no matter their religious affiliation-were the main target. Do a little studying and Get over yourself.
6. #2 So over 6 million Jews were kille. And just how many
Christian were ,   killed? Just say'n   (03.27.13)

..."The majority of people killed at Dachau were Christians--period!" So what. Does every article on the holocaust refer to the victims as Jewish? No. Anyone with an elementary knowledge of WWII and the third reich knows that christians were in dachau... FTR the Vatican states "at least 3,000 religious, deacons, priests, and bishops were imprisoned there." 3,000
8. We have a moron in PM seat to discuss.

9. Dachau
Edouard ,   Montreal Canada   (03.27.13)
It does not realy mater if more Jews or Christians died in dachau ALL the victims are innocents Hitler and his friends were criminals Anybody that did help him or did not try to stop him are guilty to some degree
10. the prisoners look remarkably healthy
Larry ,   LA   (03.27.13)
This is so not like other pictures of other camps. Why?
11. To #3. Yes, Christians gave their life
Dorothea Killus ,   Germany   (03.27.13)
It goes through and through to see these photos. As to the Christians who were at Dachau - I met a very aged Catholic priest at a conference about the subject of suffering who had been imprisoned in the concentration camp there. His testimony to the presence of God amidst the deep darkness there was impressing. Thus, he fellowshipped there with another priest - who gave his last bread to him before he died as a martyr.
12. The pictures
Keren IL-BR   (03.27.13)
Every time I see pictures like this I get more and more reasured of the standing of Israel in the world. There is no place like home and for us Jews Israelis is this: home. No enlightned and open society will ever give us the sense of feeling at home, protected and safe. When I see the faces of those people in the camps I wish by that time we had already a strong and powerful Israel to rescue them all and bring them home.
13. few for the Fuehrer but a lot of colored photos for jailed o

they must have had put the jailed persons in higher esteem.

15. Hey, Taz Man...you're right!
Jake Stone ,   USA   (03.27.13)
I tried posting this before, but Ynet wouldn't take it! Makes one wonder?! Here are some interesting facts about the on-going Christian Holocaust: The figures are eye-opening! An article published back in 2002 states: the estimate is that 45,000,000 Christians have been martyred in the twentieth century, alone. According to the same estimate, the total number of Christians martyred since the time of Christ is around 70,000,000. Christians are by-and-far the most persecuted faith-group there is! The facts are undeniable! The Christian holocaust continues, and the world, as they did with the Jews' holocaust during WWII, remains silent about this mass-murder of true Christians! One would have to wonder why so many would/are willing to die? It’s because we know that Jesus was who He said He was, and no one can change that truth! However, I want to point out a couple of things. Firstly, these numbers that have been documented do not lessen the horror of the Jews’ Holocaust, in the least. However, Jews should not think that they are the only ones who have been persecuted in the twentieth century. Christians have lost more than 7 times as many lives as the Jews lost in the Holocaust. Not a fact that you will hear much about in the news (nor do I particularly want it to be reported. It is not as if Christians need to brag about being persecuted).
16. #5!!! Ynet...could you please post this!!!
Taz Man ,   USA   (03.27.13)
I have done my study (apparently, you have not)! Don't preach to me about believing in Replacement Theology, because it isn't true! No gentile loves the Jewish people more than I do--period! There were roughly 300 concentration camps: Auschwitz was the worst, and Dachau was ranked at number 10. There were roughly 31,951 deaths reported: roughly 15,000 Christians, 10,000 Jews, 5000 or so misc. Answer me this question? Why were there so many Christian chapels found there? Here's a quote by an historical research: "...The majority of the prisoners who lived and died at Dachau were Christian. It was primarily a camp for political prisoners, German criminals, and Christian clergymen who opposed the Nazis. Dr. Johannes Neuhäusler, who was a prisoner at Dachau, was a Catholic Bishop and it was his suggestion to build Christian memorials in honor of the Christians who died there. He also suggested that a Jewish memorial be built. One of the most famous prisoners at Dachau was the Rev. Martin Niemöller, a Protestant minister..."

actually, no! there were over 40,000 concentration camps in europe according to a recent study by brandeis university recently. no one could believe the high number because most people, like yourself heard only of the main ones. but there were thousands of others less known ones in the recent archival discoveries by brabdeis university; camps that were not well known or written about before 2013. as to the christians in the camps of dachau, in the beginning, the camp was indeed for political prisoners and clergy that opposed the nazis. but, in 1942, it became strictly a jewish concentration camp and a death camps housing mainly jews. yes, it started with poli prisoners and prisoners from the clergy, but later transfered into a jewish death camps. read friedlander's first and second books. they will tell you how dachau eventually became an only jewish death camp in 1942.

you forgot one little important fact as to the number of christians persecuted and murdered and jews persecuted and murdered. jews constitute only less than 1% of the world population, while christians are in the millions and even a billion. so, statistically, the amount of jews dead considering they only numbered 14 million all over the world at that time and in europe only7 million, their holocaust cost them 90% of their population. while christians number in the billion, their deaths do not even come close to 90% of the entire christian population in the world.
19. To: No. 6
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.27.13)
Six million Jews accounted for one-third of the Jewish population of the world. And the likelihood is that the six million number is low, considering that before the Nazis began keeping their meticulous records, entire Jewish villages and towns fell victim to the Einsatzgruppen, leaving no one alive to account for those who were massacred. But if one-third of the Christian population of the world were to be exterminated, you might have a plausible arugment to posit. As it is, you do not. Just sayin'.
20. "Taz Man" again...
A. ,   USA   (03.27.13)
Read the post by Jake Stone above yours. It's good. It seems you might be a little jealous of the attention given to Jewish persecution? Besides- the Catholics in the camp- yes but did you know that followers of catholicism have their own version of Christianity - a replacement version by the way. Every time they see the words "Israel" and the "Jews" they replace it with "church" thanks in part, to Augustine. Sorry Taz, you still have studying to do, and perhaps work on your jealousy issues.
21. To #'s 17 & 18!!!
Taz Man ,   USA   (03.27.13)
I know there were many sub-camps, off-shoots of the main ones. I'm not trying to diminish what the evil Hitler (he was NOT a true Christian--period!) did to God's chosen people! I love and support Israel; they're being occupied my the godless Muslims! My heart breaks for the Jewish people! All I'm saying is an untold number of true Christians have died trying to help the Jews; we too have been/and are being murdered everyday for our faith; more than any other faith--period! Numbers are really irrelevant! The Jews and Christians are connected by a common bond (the Judel/Christian faith)! We believe in the same God (but Jews haven't come too the saving knowledge of Grace, yet! But, they will eventually turn to Christ at His 2nd-coming...at the end of "...the time of Jacob's...." Jews' have been temporarily blinded to the truth until the age-of-grace ends at the Rapture of the Church! Then Daniel's (chapter 9) 490 prophetic clock restarts for the last seven years when God saves the promised remnant and judges the Christ-rejecting world! It's all true, and it's very close to fruition. God bless Israel and His Jerusalem!!! A Christian Zionist
22. # 19 Not mine
Sarah B. ,   U.S.A./Israel   (03.27.13)
This is a troll.
23. To #20 A!!!
Taz Man ,   USA   (03.27.13)
Jake Stone and I are saying basically the same thing; apparently, it's your reading comprehension that needs work. And, as far as reading goes, I've read more than you'll ever read! Now, again, I will say, regardless of the percentage of the worlds population the Jews' may hold--not many; but, the Jews have been around longer than the Christian Church has. It still contend that more Christians have been persecuted and murdered than Jews. Just the numbers compared to percentages bear that fact out. It's like comparing apple to oranges--hard to do! Again, as a faith-based belief system, no group has been persecuted like the Christians have been over the last 2000 years! What happened to the Jews was a travesty of humanity! Pure evil was Hitler! It will never be forgotten! But, apparently, even you, have forgotten the millions of martyred Christians. Oh, yeah...don't preach to me about the Catholics: I'm an ex-Catholic; and, thank God He saved me from that cult! Read Foxes Book of Martyrs...you just might learn something about being a true Christian!
24. In defense of Taz Man
Eli Bodie ,   USA   (03.27.13)
I think all that Taz Man is saying is that Jews and Christians have been horribly persecuted through the years. No one group has the monopoly on that sad fact of man's inhumanity to man! We all know Hitler was one evil SOB who is in hell for what he did to the poor Jews. Personally, I think, the Jews and Christians need to ban together and fight the evil kin to Hitler's fascism--Islam! This evil religion has killed untold millions of Christians; one just needs to look at the region of Africa. The news outlets try to hide the truth with so-called tribe-on-tribe violence; but, the truth is its usually Muslims attacking Christians. The Muslims have got to be stopped!!!
25. Dachau photos
Rosemary Benkemoun ,   Melbourne, Australia   (04.02.13)
Re 5th photo (beneath the video) taken after the liberation of Dachau:The young man centre left, wearing a beige cap and striped shirt over a dark vest, looks very much like my late father Szyja Margolis, who was there at the time. He was ever grateful to his US liberators.
