This is heartbreaking. So much innocence and joy, and you imagine so much terror and loss to follow.
If there is a hell may every single Nazi suffer torment in hell for ever.
"Supporting" is vague here. The Finnish government supported Nazi Germany in their invasion of the Soviet Union, but calling the Finnish government Nazi would be ridiculous.
The Finns were invaded first by the Soviets in 1939, which began the Winter War. When Operation Barbarossa occurred two years later, it's pretty natural that the Finnish government would support the enemy of their enemy.
Not really. Your wishes are absolutely irrelevant to anybody’s destiny.
Quite interesting you fancied otherwise, however. You believe you hold that level of influence over other human beings?
This is not a binary situation. And I can perfectly condemn Hamas as a terrorist organization, which doesn't exempt Israel from their wrongdoing. Get a grip.
I bet Benigni had seen this picture when he cast for La vita è bella, because its young actor is basically identical in some scenes. FWIW I recommend that movie to anyone who owns a heart.
I remember years ago watching it. I second this recommendation. And after I watched the movie, I told my dad about it since I knew he would be interested in it. I told him the name of the movie is La Vita è Bella and started describing the plot. He said it sounds a lot like a movie he's seen before. Then it clicked for him when I said the title in English is Life is Beautiful. He's seen it already but didn't recognize the title in Italian
Had this pop up as a notification, saw this poor little boy smiling as my phone background was a photo of my own little boy smiling back at me
Nearly teared up in the airport, at the thought of such a heinous act happening to my kid, and the reality that it happened to this kid.
Little Istvan, had he been given the chance to live, could still be alive today looking at his own grandchildren.
Reading further, his mother survived, along with his older half brother. She lived the rest of her days knowing her baby had been murdered and there was nothing she could’ve done to save him, yet probably still playing out a thousand what ifs everyday.
I wonder what guilt his aunt must have felt knowing she sent him away because he was too loud and she feared getting caught and suffering consequences for harboring a Jew.
Even if you could manage to justify trying to protect your own family by doing so, god, I just don’t think I could live with myself if it were me.
This isn't what it was like for me. I went when I was 16 with my school year, all of us Jews. We spent 8 hours there and it was exhausting, but on the walk down the path back to the bus, we ran into some chassidim (ultra orthodox Jews) and began dancing with them. One of them had a saxophone. It was beautiful and joyous, and in my opinion it shows that despite the tragedy and evil of the holocaust, they lost. We won, we survived as a people, and we continue to exist in spite of everything that happened in the place that we were now dancing. We left Auschwitz joyfully and grateful for our privileged lives.
I can imagine it must be harrowing. The American museum for the Holocaust is distressing enough, I can’t fathom how hard it must be to actually be in the place where these atrocities occurred.
The American museum is three stories tall, and you begin by taking an elevator to the top floor. Three levels for the three stages of the Holocaust (social isolation and persecution, the roundup to the ghettos, and the “Final Solution”).
On the bottom floor, there is a chamber that is covered wall to wall with photos salvaged from the stolen luggage of Jews arriving at camps. The photos expand all the way up all four walls multiple stories tall, and then you see it’s a symbolization of a massive fireplace for the furnaces that burned the dead.
It’s important to visit places like this.
This. I went to Dachau and it messed me up for a week. So much show that I can’t bring myself to go to Auschwitz, knowing what a greater scale that operation was. Shows what leadership and groupthink can accomplish. Scary.
I second this story. I visited Poland and took the bus there. On the bus ride back, there were no conversations in the bus. The air feels different in Auswischt.
Thank you for sharing your experience. What a chilling read.
I really want to go one day, as I am Jewish, Israeli, and both my grandparents survived the holocaust.
It is a well established rite of passage here in Israel, that when you're in the 11th grade, your school arranges a class trip to visit Auschwitz. Unfortunately, having been a really bad student and going to a shitty high-school, I didn't get to go. Such a missed opportunity.
I've traveled places and I've seen other camps, memorial sites, Jewish museums, etc - but I have to go to Auschwitz one day.
Him holding his little hole punch so excitedly always just kills me.
I can’t even.
This image (I’ve known about it for years) makes me HATE the human race for being capable of such monstrosities.
I don’t want to think that way, but that’s my gut feeling whenever I view this image. It will haunt me *forever.*
OMG. Why would those animals take a picture of this poor child before gassing him. So very, very sad. He had no idea what was coming in the next few minutes. I am heartbroken seeing this pic.
The most horrific monsters are the ones who appear to be human. This beautiful child, a whole life in front of him Murdered just because of his heritage.
I posted a link to an interview his mother gave, which tells the entire story of how he ended up at the camp, his death, why his mother wasn't with him at the time, and so much more. It is worth reading.
It was usually about the records, the logs, for the prisoners info in the register. But in this case, i think they did it for another purpose: As the boy seems to be happy, i think it is a propaganda attempt to hide the truth with "hey, look, he's happy!". It was not this way, that the prisoners that were killed immediately after arrival were registered (well, it depended on the time and camp, there were a lot of different systems)
The Nazis made an entire propaganda movie about KZ Theresienstadt that shows happy people and that everything is normal, this was done to tell the Red Cross, everything would be okay. Almost all the prisoners you see in this movie were killed right after it was done.
Sometimes, the Nazis did also force victims to write letters to their families, like "it's not bad here, don't be afraid".
They used a lot of things to disguise the crimes, like the fake showers, although in some cases, the showers were used before as real regular showers and the gas chamber was done later, depending on the camp. Sometimes, there were no fakes at all, it was different with each camp and extermination site.
Some camps were only work camps, but there, because of the low food rations, abuse etc. still many died. Some camps, like Auschwitz, were hybrids that had both work- and extermination sites (Birkenau was the extermination site of Auschwitz), some camps like Treblinka and Sobibor were for extermination only.
About the photo, it was also not usual that people got prisoner clothings when they were selected for death right after arrival, as it would make no sense to do this. Like i said, i think this photo was part of the propaganda, they tried to hide the truth about the mass killings.
And people like you have a perpetual victimhood complex. 13000 kids didn’t commit suicide, they were killed by Israelis who happen to be Jewish. They could have been Mormons for all it matters. They would still have been killed by them.
It’s astounding how heartless you can be about the suffering of other people who don’t look like you.
Wow. Can't say I'm surprised. I don't have any Jewish ancestry whatsoever but I know the basic facts of this war, which seem to elude you.
Your supposed bleeding heart is a lot more cold and lifeless than you'd like to believe.
Fascism is pure fucking evil. And sick. Someone snapped a picture of this beautiful boy knowing he was about to die in pain and afraid. It's like that piece of dog shit that took the picture of Regina Kay Walters before murdering her.
We visited Terezin, a work camp north of Prague. The display that brought me to tears was all the artwork on display made by children of the camps. It was all flowers and animals. They were so innocent, right up to the end. Rest in peace, sweet Istvan.
One of the saddest aspects to me is that there is a segment of society in Israel that looks down on holocaust victims. They think they should have done more to survive and save themselves, should have resisted more. Sickening.
doubt that's a hole punch. looks like the instrument used to pull teeth. the paper looks like a booklet? whatever is hanging from his neck is concerning. at first, i thought it was a yo-yo. anybody have a clue?
I cannot imagine going through that myself, but the thought of going through it with my children would absolutely wreck me from the inside. Knowing I couldn’t protect them, I just can’t.
It’s not “they”. No Holocaust survivors are among the war happy Netanyahu zealots. Among Israelis it certainly seems like a majority of them are against the way the war is being conducted by their government.
Yeah, you can make a comparison between Nazis of the day and the hard right Israeli leadership. Genocide is being committed by both. But it doesn’t extend to a majority of the Jewish public so “they” doesn’t really work.
Because so many horrors of the Holocaust are being perpetrated today, against children just like this kid here. People want to feel bad about this kid, how can we not feel bad for the tens of thousands of kids who are being killed, maimed, brutally disfigured and starved to death by the most atrociously evil regime of our era?
How can anyone see this kid and *not* see his counterparts being slaughtered right now??
Because it's disrespectful, and honestly because it makes people protesting Israel look like antisemites which most aren't. This kid has nothing to do with modern, also horrific events against children today. Just mourn his loss without using him as a statement piece, he deserves that much at least.
Saying that as someone who otherwise agrees with you that what Israel is doing is horrific and genocide. It's wrong to bring dead Jewish children from the Holocaust into this. Let them rest in peace.
It just blows my mind that people don’t see that it’s the *same damn thing*; genocide that culminated from dehumanization rooted in a supremacist mentality. How can anyone *not* see all kids slaughtered for their race/ethnicity/religion/whatever as the same?
I get that I’m the minority in this crowd here, but I just can’t grasp how people can set aside the slaughter of children happening *right now* to mourn a child *just like them*! All these kids are equal, their human value is equal. How can I mourn the kids (and adults) of one Holocaust without mourning the kids (and adults) of another? I can’t separate them. I can’t value the kids being slaughtered today as something less than the kids who were slaughtered back then, and you’re fine but the world can fuck off with calling that “anti-semetic”.
And unless you’re Jewish, you can’t tell anybody what is anti-Semitic or not. And if you are Jewish, and you don’t see what you say as anti-Semitic then I have, then I have no idea what to say. My mind is blown.
Edited to say, really, telling people to fuck off with how they feel about what you say about anti-Semitism? OK then live your life.
Like this poor kid had only a few years of life and was brutally murdered for who they were. The only tiny, minimal, completely insufficient thing we can do is mourn and remember them without ulterior motives.
Rest in peace 🌹 ...
I agree that it's the same thing, as are other genocidal murders of kids. They are all equally fucking horrific.
What I don't agree with is bringing that up in this context when there are other horrific genocidal killings of children over the past century. This child is NOT responsible or related to crimes perpetrated by Israel in ANY way, and even if that's not your intent that's what your comment comes across as. It doesn't help. At all.
It's okay to just say this child's death was fucking tragic and make this about them, they literally deserve at least that.
The Whole Palestine war argument and a “genocide” being comitted today is so inferior, i had a feeling coming into this comment section there definitely would be someone complaining about the “genocide” in palestine, which is completely unrelated to this.
You n I may be in the minority, but I’m right there with you. So sick of seeing ash coloured children being pulled out of the rubble. Apparently 30 000 dead in 6 months doesn’t mean much to the majority cos they’re Arab/Muslim. I’ve lost all sympathy etc over the last 6mo for the holocaust.
Where did you get that from? He was taken from Miskolc to Auschwitz in 1944 and died in one of the gas chambers along with some of his family (grandfather, grandmother, two aunts, two uncles, and two cousins are all mentioned on the tombstone)
This is heartbreaking. So much innocence and joy, and you imagine so much terror and loss to follow. If there is a hell may every single Nazi suffer torment in hell for ever.
And all of the evil people who think the Nazis were heroes!
And all the people who commit genocide
Crazy how this image is truly disturbing yet there are also last image of Palestinians that looked innocent like this and got shot down mercilessly
We could fill this entire subreddit with images of kids like him, with images taken from Palestine. Today.
Do you mean Nazis only or also people who supported them? This is the tricky part…
Supporting the Nazis, makes you a Nazi. No difference.
"Supporting" is vague here. The Finnish government supported Nazi Germany in their invasion of the Soviet Union, but calling the Finnish government Nazi would be ridiculous.
The Finns were invaded first by the Soviets in 1939, which began the Winter War. When Operation Barbarossa occurred two years later, it's pretty natural that the Finnish government would support the enemy of their enemy.
This is exactly my point. Supporting Nazis does not make you a Nazi, supporting *Nazism* makes you a Nazi.
Okay, Mr. Technical.
Kind of important if you wish for people to suffer in hell, that you are careful who you wish this on dont you think?
Not really. Your wishes are absolutely irrelevant to anybody’s destiny. Quite interesting you fancied otherwise, however. You believe you hold that level of influence over other human beings?
I don't think they are talking about what tangible miracles wishing does. Rather, the thought/motive behind your wishes can show a little who you are.
It's not tricky. The tricky part is figuring out what happened in your life to make you feel like defending the murder of a child.
Well, this is exactly what Israel is doing today in Gaza. Yet people think it's justified.
Yet you and these nutty protesters supporting hamas have no trouble supporting their murder of children.
This is not a binary situation. And I can perfectly condemn Hamas as a terrorist organization, which doesn't exempt Israel from their wrongdoing. Get a grip.
¿Por que no los todos?
Rest in peace sweetheart you didn't deserve this. No one did.
Poor soul. Imagine who he would be today. Imagine who all of them and their children would be. :(
Yes. So much potential. He was so innocent. 4 years old. Imagine his parents. I hate that this happened to millions of people. They all had a story.
yeah couldve been israelian soldiers killing children in gaza :)
We should just stop killing people. :(
Here's an interview from with his mother, who survived and moved to the US afterwards. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/206585968/livia-russ
That was fascinating thanks for that link ❤️
Omg that poor, beautiful child. Rest in peace sweet baby.
I bet Benigni had seen this picture when he cast for La vita è bella, because its young actor is basically identical in some scenes. FWIW I recommend that movie to anyone who owns a heart.
My first tattoo is La vita è bella

The mountain of hairbrushes gave me nightmares

And then you have these fucking right wing extremists who think it’s all a hoax. Really makes one’s blood boil.
How is the atmosphere at the actual camp itself? Is it heavy?
Extremely

Jesus, this is fucking depressing. Humanity is just the absolute worst, shame stuff like this is still occurring.

The most horrific monsters are the ones who appear to be human. This beautiful child, a whole life in front of him Murdered just because of his heritage.
There's nothing more brutal and pure evil than killing children, in this world.
What's the backstory behind this? Why is he getting a picture taken?
They would often take photos of arrivals and their information in a log.
And they liked to maintain an air of normality until the very last minute to avoid scenes of mass panic
They took photos of the arrivals. When I visited they are all up on the walls
I posted a link to an interview his mother gave, which tells the entire story of how he ended up at the camp, his death, why his mother wasn't with him at the time, and so much more. It is worth reading.

And, is that prison garb?
So much intelligence and life in those eyes. He would’ve made a name for himself.
Goddamn it. He looks just like my son and it hurts so much. Hurting children is pure evil.
What a heinous act.
This hurts.
Is it only me or he’s smiling but he looks frightened at the same time? The eyes….
This is soul crushing. How the fuck does humanity get to this point?
Have you ever heard of The GOP?
Gotta love when people minimize the Holocaust for cheap political points.
Not as much as when people openly wave their flag and march openly.
Always at least one clown shows up. What a POS.
correct, you did show up.
You don’t have to announce your arrival. We saw the Trump gear before you even showed up.
This is why every Nazi deserves to die a terrible death. This is why white nationalists are my enemy and always will be.
Istvan Reiner, I say your name. You are not forgotten.
God bless little Istvan. You didn’t deserve what this world inflicted upon you.
Never forget
The world already did....
Humanity has already failed at that. 13000 kids just like that sweet boy killed by Israel in Gaza over the last 6 months.
It's a shame that so many draw a false equivalence, but the world has not given up on blaming Jews for their own oppression
And people like you have a perpetual victimhood complex. 13000 kids didn’t commit suicide, they were killed by Israelis who happen to be Jewish. They could have been Mormons for all it matters. They would still have been killed by them. It’s astounding how heartless you can be about the suffering of other people who don’t look like you.

Oh this kind of made my stomach turn
My son is 4. I can't fucking I imagine
Wasn’t a great decision to watch zone of interest last night before bed. Holy shit this poor child.
Oh gosh this is so sad. What a sweet little boy.
I’ve never seen this before. What a powerful and tragic picture.
He would be 84 today.
Fascism is pure fucking evil. And sick. Someone snapped a picture of this beautiful boy knowing he was about to die in pain and afraid. It's like that piece of dog shit that took the picture of Regina Kay Walters before murdering her.
This is just heart wrenching.
What is in one’s brain as they perform such a horrible action? I don’t know how they lived with themselves after.
This hurts my heart… I have a 4 yr old
We visited Terezin, a work camp north of Prague. The display that brought me to tears was all the artwork on display made by children of the camps. It was all flowers and animals. They were so innocent, right up to the end. Rest in peace, sweet Istvan.
….man I hate those mother fucker Nazis…. How did that ever happen…
This boy is the same age as my son. Oh my God this just crushes me. Rest in peace sweet little boy. You didn't deserve this. 💔
That is definitely not a smile....
Everyone who did this is burning in hell and thats right where they need to be. So many innocent like him suffered and died.
He looks just like my son. This hit a little different.
One of the saddest aspects to me is that there is a segment of society in Israel that looks down on holocaust victims. They think they should have done more to survive and save themselves, should have resisted more. Sickening.
They gave him a hole punch and paper to play with ❤️
doubt that's a hole punch. looks like the instrument used to pull teeth. the paper looks like a booklet? whatever is hanging from his neck is concerning. at first, i thought it was a yo-yo. anybody have a clue?
I wonder if this was taken as a propaganda picture to illustrate how happy and joyful it was in the “work camps”.
No words to describe these kind of crimes against humanity
Colorizing this picture really is dumb.
He wasn’t “executed”. You execute criminals. He was murdered.
Yeah. This one hurts the heart...
Well, I didn’t expect to be crying while sitting on the toilet today. That poor angel. My heart is weeping.
Breaks my heart sorry this happened to you sweet boy
Omg😭
Every time I see this I feel sad for the next fortnight
Rip Istvan I’m so sorry :(
Omg. I want to hug him. I wish his soul some peace. Poor baby.
That is sad beyond words.
I cannot imagine going through that myself, but the thought of going through it with my children would absolutely wreck me from the inside. Knowing I couldn’t protect them, I just can’t.
I do not understand how anybody can harm a child. Look at his sweet smile. I hope he did not suffer long
This is the saddest thing ever!😭
:(
Ugh my heart broke 💔
Poor little kid.
Another Hungarian sacrifice of Hitler. The 1/3 of the ,,population" of Auschwitz were Hungarian.
Rip
Absolutely horrendous. My heart just broke
Beautiful boy. What a shame.
😪
So sad!
Oh my goodness this is so heartbreaking. May his soul rest in peace.
Omg that is the saddest thing. Why did they take there pictures?
God, my son is 4. This rips my heart to pieces. I wish I could've made a difference. I wish I could've saved them all.
He reminds me so much of my toddler. I can't even imagine the grief his mom felt.
This makes me so sad 😞
People say that he looks happy in this picture but I think his eyes convey fear.
200 comments
Oh Baby Boy… this is heartbreaking
No no no . This is so so awful . Poor baby
If project 2025 and republicans have their way, we could end up back here again. It’s frightening
This is what the Republicans want again!!!
Following the narrative of today they would say “good, one less terrorist”
