    In Rwanda, we are currently in the 7-day memorial week of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. Over 1 million people were killed in some of the most brutal ways imaginable within just 100 days, often by people they knew: neighbors, friends, and even family members. It remains one of the worst genocides ever committed. I would really appreciate it if you could make a video about it sometime. Thank you, and I’m a big fan of your work.🙏

    Do one on Captain Witold Pileki. He was a polish military captain also involved in intelligence. He proposed a mission in which someone would volunteer themselves to be sent to Aushwitz, report on conditions within, attempt to mount a resistance, and generally prepare for an arms drop and/or parachuting soldiers whereby the inmates would rise up. He volunteered himself, naturally, and walked right into a roundup in Warsaw.<br><br>He spent three years completing his mission before becoming convinced command would never send air drops. He continued his fight against the Nazis, and after the war, against the Polish communists, who ultimately captured and executed him in 1947.<br><br>If you read that, a tear should be rolling down your cheek. This was a man of invincible will, who walked into and out of hell for the benefit of others. The very best humanity has to offer.

    Another great video on what is one of the most important 90 minutes of human history. I&apos;d love to see you cover the assassination of Heydrich and the aftermath in more detail because I feel like it should be more widely known. Especially since, If I&apos;m not mistaken, Heydrich was the highest ranked Nazi to have been assassinated.

    As a Slovak enthusiast in history, thank you for including Gabčík and Kubiš in this video. But especially, thank you for taking the time and effort to research how to properly say their names. So many non-Slavic hosts and content creators never bother to even make an attempt.

    There was a great movie about this in 2001 called Conspiracy. Great movie. Kenneth Branagh did a great job as Heydrich.

    It started long before Wannsee. &nbsp;The Einsatzgruppen were active in Poland in September 1939
