How I SURVIVED Four Different Nazi Concentration Camps | Ben Lesser
Ben Lesser was born in Kraków, Poland in 1928. After the German army invaded Poland in 1939, Ben and his family were subject to countless acts of violence by Nazi soldiers and forced to live in the Bochnia Ghetto.
Ben's journey over the next years would be filled with unimaginable pain and suffering. He would survive a seven-week death march and four different concentration camps - Auschwitz-Birkenau, Durnhau, Buchenwald and Dachau.
He would also survive two separate death trains. On the train from Buchenwald to Dachau, Lesser said he spent three weeks in a cattle car with no water, surviving on only crumbs of a bread roll he had smuggled on. Of the 5,000 prisoners on this train, Lesser was one of only 18 who survived and is the last one alive today.
Lesser and one of his older sisters would be the only two of their seven-person family to see liberation.

He was a smart teenager when this happened which saved his life. He saved diamonds but gave up the diamonds to save his uncle’s life. What a pure soul!
It's good that some survived to tell the story. But to say Nazis, is not exactly saying it totally truthfully, instead it should be said that it was the German people that did this. It's incredible that one set of people can be so cruel to others. However, with the teaching of forgiveness everyone is given another chance to prove themself a better person. God bless Jews and Germans.
Not all Germans were Nazis
@@evaeves8569you are a fool
@@evaeves8569not all Germans were Nazis and not all had a choice. And As funny as it may seem. There are wicked people All over the earth who get a kick, stomping on a dream.
@@evaeves8569it was not just Germans too…
This man came to my high school to tell his story. He made everyone cry including the teachers. I still remember his stories and all the details.
Stories yes like ones of lord of the rings.
I have no words. Thank you, Mr Lesser. Thank you for being brave and telling the story. We will never forget.
Pretty weird how his entire family was gassed but they just let him live. Does that make much sense
@@nickxcaliber7991 Only part that makes no sense, is the pure evil that some allow to take over their lives.
@@cathyl8675 I heard one survivor was in the process of being gassed and she gave birth while the others around her died by gassing. Miraculously they both survived. Instead of killing her right then and there… she managed to survive even more gas showers! And the baby she gave birth to survived the equally fatal infant wards which is conveniently disguised as one, when it’s actually a gassing ward. Such tough people, these survivors.
@@michaelwilliamson4759 With God, the impossible becomes possible. I'll look for that story. It has me questioning how so many people refuse that we have an amazing creator and consider many circumstances chance happenings. I watched a video just yesterday, that even Darwin was not positive God does not exist...that's one of their big leaders🤷♀️ they do not realize Satan enjoys their false beliefs.
@@nickxcaliber7991 what are you trying to imply?? Because if you're trying to imply that this man is lying then I'll say he's either a terrific liar or he's telling the truth.
Mr. Lesser spoke at my high school, sharing his story and presenting us with a pin as a lasting reminder. His narrative, even when recounting the distressing incident of a baby being smashed into a door, remains unforgettable. I'm grateful that his story is now available online for others to hear. Very important sorry and historical evidence. Thank you for sharing.
He speaks for the ones who can't now.
He never spoke at ur high school lmao, this the 1st time you ever seen this man in ur life
Share.never ist jetzt❤❤
@@jesiah391How would you know??? You might just be an Antisemite, and denier of the Holocaust. I’m a senior citizen, and when I was young we had Holocaust survivors that came and spoke to us. We had a few classmates whose parents were survivors. Don’t think that we weren’t exposed to people who went through the hell of the camps, and survived, only to find out that everyone they knew were murdered.
Thank you Ben Lesser for sharing your story. May God richly bless you.
“God left a witness.” That hit me very hard. Not just a witness to let the tale to the Jewish people, but to all mankind. We must discard hate and have peace.
Tell that to all the liberal universities promoting Jewish genocide, both the faculties and students.
Yes this witness can see what Israel is now doing to Palestinians. Same thing the Germans did to them
You mean the opposite? How hamas wants to eradicate jews from the planet?@@chevellebelair1402
Yeah, except Isreal is in the right.
@@chevellebelair1402you're conveniently forgetting that Hamas started this latest war by attacking Israelis in their homes in a very similar way to the Nazis, torturing & killing nearly 1500 people in truly horrendous ways. Yes, what is happening in Gaza is terrible to see but what exactly did Hamas think would happen after such an attack???
His story is worse than rated R film! He told the story so well and was able to speck words witch transformed in to an accurate visual detail's. It was as if he teleported you and you were standing right beside him seeing everything he saw. It's unbelievable that he survived to tell his story. I listened brave sir! It happened to you and millions of other people. I will NOT get amnesia and forget the struggles forced upon you.
it is saddening to realize those atrocities still live vividly all these years in his mind. God bless them all to have peace again and again. ❤
How can some Zionist turn and some of the same horrible things to another people 😔. But also some of the most valiant people speaking out all Jewish people who do not stand with their governments evil acts
I do hoped and I prayed that the Nazis become Christians.
I will never forget about what the poor Jewish people went through. Thank God there were survivors to tell the world of the atrocities committed by the Nazis. Unfortunately, people didn’t learn and they want to think it can’t happen again. That’s just ignorant.
@@marilyn6556If it’s not a lived memory, humans forget easily.
My grandfather was one of the G.I.s who helped liberate Dachau at the end of WWII... He survived the horrors of the D-Day landings, fought through france and into the heart of germany itself unscathed. But he would be forever haunted by what he saw in that god forsaken place. He would wake up screaming some nights from the nightmares he'd have. When I was in high school, we took a trip to the holocaust survivors' museum. Before leaving, I stopped in the hall of remembrance and lit two votives at the niche for Dachau- one in memory of my grandfather and the other in memory of the victims. We must never forget what happened in those dark and terrible days.
I will forever be grateful to all the men who served in the fight against a totally evil regime. I am in humble awe of all the victims and all rescuers. I am so, humbly grateful for the servicemen who had to go through the types of trauma your grandfather went through. I am doing all I can to keep all these people alive in our hearts and minds. Thankyou for sharing this part of your grandfather's story. Love to your family. From New Zealand.
My grandfather was there too, I can't help but wonder if he was the G.I that fed them that spam. The only time I ever saw my grandfather cry was him retelling the stories of Dachau and how much he regrets accidentally killing a prisoner by trying to fed them some rations. I know that many soldiers did the same, but it's hard not to speculate. This video had me in tears, but I'm glad we have these 1st hand accounts documented so that we can "hopefully" prevent some atrocities last these reoccurring. Out of curiosity, was your grandfather in the 45th? Mine was in the 42nd infantry, but they landed in Marseilles and not part of d-day so I assumed he wasn't in the same battalion as my grandpa unless transfered.
G-d Bless your grandfather - who saved so many souls - including my father who was just a young boy - the words “thank you” would never be sufficient… all my best and Blessings to you and your beautiful family!
Man's inhumanity to man is unbelievable.Such horrors,its difficult getting your mind round what was done to these poor people.
It's made worse when you realize that the bread bit was likely intentional, there's no way those guards didn't know that the people were literally starving to death would would attack each other (possibly) for extra rations. They just got off on seeing it. It blows my mind that people are living in a fairytale world where this kind of cruelty is 'impossible' to them, they've clearly never had a sociopathic boss before. Evil like this is definitely real, and history really only shows us the MOST egregious examples.
Bouyant bear evil crap is happening now,you don’t have to look to history. Do you walk around with your eyes and ears closed??
Many people. We often forget what Stalin did to his own people. What the Japanese did to the Chinese was sometimes worse than what the Germans did to the Jews. Then similar to Stalin what Miao did to his people in China. We have so many examples of how evil people can be to one another. It’s important to remember them all lest we let it be repeated anywhere.
Oh it's quite believable.. It starts small "illegal immigrants" builds up "illegal immigrants are stealing our jobs!" Adds more reasons to hate "illegal immigrants are mooching off the government, and voting", then they add violence "illegal immigrants are getting our kids hooked on drugs and killing them!!" They do it gradually, so gradually that you can't remember what it was like before, they repeat it over and over, so it feels true... As Voltaire once said...centuries before the holocaust. "If they can make you believe absurdities, they can make you commit atrocities"
For a man who went through hell 4 times and more he is a tough cookie and deserves the best
No you’re a “tough cookie” when you accidentally break a glass cup and you refrain yourself from crying. We can’t even fathom how tough this man is
@@swisscheeseplease97You're a tough cookie if you don't cry from breaking a glass? Are you for real?
calling a man who survived a ghetto and 4 concentration camps, subjected to the deepest depths of human brutality a "tough cookie", lol
Surviving even one Concentration Camp is amazing. Surviving four ventures into the miraculous. Absolutely astounding
Certainly is…. And he’s not alone , believe it or not. Five million claimed reparations! Many surviving multiple camps. True survivors, every single one of the five million. Six million died, five million survived hence the low number now.
Lotta survivors at these so called death camps huh
Lmao when you open a video just to look at the replies and are not left disappointed. Thank you for restoring my faith @@piplee1439
I bet he could convince you he was abducted by aliens and you'd swallow it all lol
Sounds fake to me. How deadly could they have really been if he survived 4 of them.
When he spoke about the baby. And how that sudden silence, tormented him. That made me begin to cry. I could truly see it in his face, telling that story. They aren't forced to relieve these memories. As it's an honor to sit down and listen to this man. Who has survived or endured more than the soldiers of WW2. Absolutely sad..these men and women who served against Nazi German and dealt with the concentration camps of this behemoth War..are more stronger than any human could possibly realize.. I've seen ptsd from Afghanistan alone..and that's a very very sad thing..much less what these men and women dealt with..is possibly horrific. Never able to sleep right again.
We shouldn’t compare “levels” of trauma from horrid atrocities. Maybe we should see trauma as being affecting and that’s that. Your suffering and trauma is still valid buddy :(
L o@@Puppy_Puppington
@@Puppy_Puppingtonman shut up
I'm holding my almost 6 month old son, I couldn't imagine watching something like that being done to him. My heart breaks for the sweet baby and his parents.
I wouldn’t say more than the soldiers. Many soldiers ended up on these camps. Pilots who were shot down were taken to these camps. At a certain point it’s just as bad as bad can get. This time in history certainly tested the limits of “civilization”.
I thought I was heartbroken listening to Eva Mozes Kor's story, and didn't think cruelty could get much worse. Hearing Ben's story has destroyed my heart. I can't believe he survived those horrors and will be 96 this year.
Hi from New Zealand. I think I have listened to hundreds of survivors and liberators now. I think of these people, servicemen from many countries and the rescuers and bystanders several times a day now. It seems that 19th century history is a part of me now. I don't want my heroes to be forgotten or for lessons not to be learned. I promise you, the stories of all these people do not ever get any more comprehensible. My life has changed significantly since learning about history. For the better!!!!!
@@barbsmart7373 isn’t it mainly the 20th century history? World 1900 to 1999. Right? Unless you’re speaking of atrocities that happened in the 1800s? But I’ve kind of figured you’re talking about Genocides after 1900.
Didn’t she just say she got sick and it made Mengele sad but because of the treatment she received she survived?
@@BannedHistory WTF? You are introducing your own agenda. Why are you twisting the truth about this horrific Nazi character? Why would you want to do that? Your thoughts create who you are, so choose wisely. Eva is one of very many heroes and heroines who survived the Holocaust and bravely shared with the world what can happen if you don't control your thoughts.
This is the type of information that textbooks don’t discuss. Truly amazing and I give this man much appreciation for telling his stories.
What a loving nephew to his uncle..God bless sir
I've listened to a few survivors of the prison camps . It is unbelievable that anyone ever survived any of that. I am always at the stories and the people telling them. I think everyone should have an opportunity to meet and listen to these people. Without the dear, sights, smells, noone can ever truly comprehend the terrible things that these people lived through. I pray that each and every one of them finds the peace that they so deserve. God bless each of them, all survivors of these events and the persecution that they had endured. May we never forget just how this all came about and how easy it would be for the world to have leaders do these same things again. God help us all.
Amen
Seems like there were tons of surviors. They all met mengela too. This is clearly bullshit.
Yes sir. And if god forbid I had seen the things this man saw it would have driven me insane. The worst thing is the world learned nothing from these events. Humans still have a never ending capacity to hate and kill each other. When the day comes when all the nukes start falling we will reap what we've sown 😢
Good comment. I am not even sure a "like" is appropriate, but I will give one. A minor correction : Ben did not only survive "prison camps", he survived living in a ghetto, and Auschwitz was a "death camp" ("vernichtungslager" in German).
Just when I think I have heard the worst of some survivors' experiences during the Holocaust. What an unbelievable and truly miraculous story of endurance and survival. He says the only reason he can think of why he survived out of all the hundreds of other prisoners is the God wanted him to be a witness in order to share the stories of all the atrocities with the world. What an amazing way to process what he went through and have so much respect for his ongoing willingess to share what he witnessed.
I genuinely want to hear with compassion every story this man has to tell he’s like a treasure trove of history
This man is incredible. He survived one of human kinds biggest genocide in history. I wish him every bit of peace and love
I love how his uncle made him pack his shoes with diamonds to help his life be easier, and he gave the diamonds to someone to help his uncle get a job in the kitchen to make his life easier.. and took his tenth man punishment... the selflessness in that situation would probably never happen again
Young men were raised to have honor back then. To respect their elders. What a difference to the punks we have nowadays.
God bless you, Mr. Lesser. In the neighborhood where I grew up, a Jewish gentleman from Poland had a gift shop a couple of doors down from my parents' deli. He also was in Auschwitz, Buchenwald, and Dachau. He knew Mengele from his job working in the kitchens at Auschwitz. How he got that job is a story in itself, but suffice it to say that like Mr. Lesser he was able to think his way into a job that helped him to survive. I would be surprised if Mr. Lesser's uncle didn't know this man. Maybe even Mr. Lesser did also. He never talked about the horrifying events from the camps, only about how he was able to fool the guards to smuggle food to some of the other inmates. I can only imagine the horrors that he saw and kept to himself.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The fact that Mengele lived out the rest of his life on a beach is so infuriating. What makes it worse is that so many Nazis lived with 0 punishments
and now the Jews are doing no different to the Palestinians..
and now the Jews are doing no different to the Palestinians.. with zero punishment… do you have a brain
Or that some nazis get invited to be guests of honor at Canadian government events and are applauded.
There's plenty of docs on youtube of the nazis that the mossad got even into the 70s. Great stories
There isn't any evil that will not.be punished. JESUS IS.HOLY and his holiness demands righteous judgement.
I cannot whatch this without crying. And he has somuch more to tell. I somuch would like to give Ben an endless hug... I need some time to recover now, but its nothing.
He has a book as well that gives more detail
Wow, this is worse than anything I imagined it could be. The amount of things that had to go right for him to survive is astounding.
War is Hell, to survive takes super human skills and a total revamp of your mental acuity. It's not for the front of heart. You must become worse than your enemy to overcome adversity. Your enemy must recognize that they have few options. Losing is not an option. Semper Fi.
Feint not front.
It's insane and whenever things like this happens noone sees it's coming and noone is prepared. That's all conflicts past and future.
It’s so bad you really have to IMAGINE it. 😂
Witold Pilecki the Polish Cav officer that volunteered to go to Auschwitz in 40. Gave info on the horrors to the Home Army AK Escaped in 43, fought in the Warsaw uprising and was executed by communists in 48. Another hero of Polska 🇵🇱🇮🇱🇺🇲💪
Knowing that such sadistic atrocities were perpetrated against life loving Jews, it really pisses me off how the people of color in America whine and bitch about how they are currently treated
I hate commies
Witold report is a must read 👍 The “volunteered” part is debatable though, as he was “invited to volunteer” by the leadership with whom he had disagreements. As a military man, he wouldn’t have dared to say no. That’s said mainly with intent for historical accuracy. There is no doubt Witold was the unsung hero that went with the utmost dignity.
Weird to put an Israeli flag when the Zionist state of Israel didn't even exist until 1947 when the Mossad committed genocide against the Palestinian people.
Lol, get a clue.
Oh God. I had to stop at the baby, but bless you and yours, sir. I feel such anger and sadness that this occurred, but also joy that you survived and prospered.

@@robertsaget6918US immigrates? Those beans need to enter legally. You must come from an inbred family being tha special
@@robertsaget6918Gaza attacked Israel and the Jewish people retaliated. They Jewish people will NEVER let another holocaust happen again. Hamas already openly admitted that they will not stop until the Jewish people are wiped out.
I know it was hard as heck to talk about but I would love to listen to a part 2. This is the craziest story on the channel.
Search YT for “Ben Lesser”, there’s loads more vids like this.
Is there a part 2?
@@PhotosinMotion2U I don’t think so. I think he said that he would like there to be a part two like more stories from him.
You survived in a place nobody was meant to survive. You're an angel
Just wow. I knew it was going to be a tough story to listen to when I clicked on the video, but I'm glad I did. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching. This was an important one to share.
Never stop tell this story Sir, because the world must not ever forget the millions that died in such inhumane ways LOVE YOU BROTHER AND GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Mr. Lesser, for telling us, so uncensored, your experiences of the horrors during the Holocaust.
This documentary by Mr Lesser should be put in every single School in the world. 🙏
This breaks my heart😢 I’m so sorry you had to go thru that. They were pure evil!
This guy's story should be made into a movie, it is truly epic
I hope Spielberg is watching.
Is say horrible not epic.
@@similarfoah You apparently don't understand what the word epic actually means. It does not mean good or bad.
@@danam0228that's the problem, genius. This is tragic. It's important to know, it's BAD. You young pampered children are indifferent to reality that you can't relate to or comprehend.
If you watch a lot of the good movies about this terrible disgusting stain history, you will already find bits of his story as it's a story that's so many of them bore witnessed too Spielberg movies is included in the movies I am talking about.
I can’t just fathom the depth of their cruelty towards their own fellow human beings. It’s the factnthey not only murdered innocent people but they had to do it in the cruelest way possible. It defies understanding and fhis poor man has had to live with the the trauma of that experience for 80 or more years.
"cultured people"
What a badass. He is one tough man. Thank you for telling your story
I met this man in person back in 2017, when he held a speech in a church next to my school in Baden-Württemberg. Very inspiring man. I've been subscribed to his Zachor Newsletter ever since.
This was so difficult to listen to. But hearing their stories is the least we can do. It’s unfathomable that this level of evil is even possible. God Bless you for continuing to share your story.
What a great and inspiring individual. I will never be able to comprehend what he had to endure and live through. His memories will unfortunately haunt him until the day he passes on.
This is true horror, what they did to that baby broke my heart. And Hitler couldn't take his punishment like a man, took the easy way out, absolutely heart breaking
He didn't want to end up like his hero Mussolini, strung up in a public square beside his mistress
@yankeecitygirl they were either shot or hanged.
To think he was in front of Mandela, the uniforms, heard the screams, the dog barks, smelt the steam of the cattle carts and burning bodies. This man spent every day in hell and watched crime after crime take place against innocent people. How on earth can you not hear hate in his voice. Beautiful person
I think you meant Mengele.

Thank you for this interview
Thanks for interviewing him and giving him a chance to speak!! We are about to lose that generations experiences first hand so this is so important
this story is making me bawl my eyes out. he speaks so well and tells his story so well its like im next to him when he experienced this. Mr Lesser, thank you for sharing your story, i am so sorry you went through this, i wish you nothing but the best these years to come, you are a survivor. God bless you.
Wow, what this man endured is amazing. I don't think any of us could have survived. God bless him and all the poor souls lost during this horrible time. We must remember the evil deeds of man could happen again in the blink of an eye.
Thank you sir, for sharing your experience. May you be forever blessed ❤
Mr. Lesser, if you see this, please know that my heart breaks for you and everyone who experienced this. I hope you know God has favor with you and He put you here for a reason. I hope God blesses you and you have a peaceful life now. God bless you Mr. Lesser!
Thank you, Ben Lssser. This atrocity MUST be told. There are students at the university who ask, "Did this really happen?" I am appalled at the lack of knowledge being taught to our children. I, on the other hand, cannot read enough on WW2. I cry everytime a person tells their horrifying accounts of what they went through. Bless you.
But ….we must listen we have too ..whether it drives us mad
God bless you Mr Lesser. You are a great witness to the world. God gave you a special task and I thank God for sending you to speak. You have supernatural strength to be able to speak as you do. People do need to hear and know of the horrors and that people can be influenced to act so terribly. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! 💕
Listened to this while on my way to work this morning. I had to sit in my car and suck up the tears before going inside. Im still unable to stop thinking about that baby being swong around like a toy.

What this man endured during the Nazi regime is incomprehensible. Thanks for sharing his story.
Unbelievable story of survival. A remarkable man indeed. We cannot forget!

The worst horror story ever told, yet it's not a story, it's completely real. Any hell you can possibly imagine probably happened and people such as this experienced it and lived to tell.
It’s unbelievable, someone capable with that kind of cruelty just break my heart as I listen to him tears coming down on my face I’m so sorry that he had to go through such hell.
I listened Mr Lesser. I will never forget your story. I will tell others to listen to your story and together everyone who listens will carry in their heart your story so we don’t forget. God bless your soul.
this was a very touching video and testimony. Thank you so much Ben Lesser for sharing your story.
Thank you Sir for your Remembrance.
