    When people ask how was Germany able to do what they did, this is how. Nobody will do a thing.

    just a note: the girl w/ the eyelash tutorial actually got banned for that, which is generally in line for the anti ccp content that gets taken down pretty frequently on the platform

    I feel for that mother. I burst into tears when her daughter said "I missed my mommy." I don't know what I would do if I was forcibly separated from my child.

    "The largest collection of shoes since the Holocaust" isn't an example pulled out of nowhere. The US Holocaust Memorial Museum actually has an exhibit of 4,000 shoes from Majdanek. Auschwitz has a photo of one day's collection: 25,000 shoes.
  • As a German it makes me sick to see how the world is again watching history repeat itself. Especially us Germans should act and react upon it. EDIT: Didn't want to spark a national debate. We're all Humans after all.
  • i can't believe it!! an actual american talk show TALKS about the Uighurs' tragic events!? cheers for you john oliver

    Almost a year since this video, I think we need to do another one, Jon. Please.
  • As a mother of a young child, my heart completely broke for the woman who was separated from her little girl for 2 years. This is fucking unconscionable.
  • @ariestheram5693
    "It's completely possibly for two things to be wrong at the same time" is a sentence that people these days desperately needs to hear
  • @XX-fp8bp
    Finally someone with a big audience who talks about this
  • "Human rights should be completely non negotiable" read it carefully while giving your money to FIFA and Qatar while watching the World Cup.

    We need more brave people like you in this world, those who raise their voices regardless of nationality, race and religion, wherever an innocent person is wronged.
  • @ZagND
    My respect goes to John Oliver and the team for making a story on the topic that many are even too afraid to address.
  • @PeeyushBhatia
    "Human rights are non-negotiable". This phrase summarizes it all.
  • @azhar8598
    My heart literally got broken into pieces and I started crying when I saw the bold little baby girl pampering her mother not to cry 😭😭😭

    Why is it that 24/7/Breaking News! outfits like CNN, ABC, FOX, NBC, etc. don't regularly inform us of this and 50 other issues that a comedian somehow can find the time to do? Our McAction News(TM) fails us every day, slobbering over celebrities, etc.
  • @lifeguardpanda
    Did anyone notice that this segment didn't get put on Trending on YouTube, when usually YouTube always put John Oliver on Trending
  • @jrg2866
    So much for "never again." We're always willing to ignore human rights violations as they're far enough away, aren't we?

    Imagine being seperated from family by some fucked up re-education camp only to be welcomed home by your youngest, who has already internalized that showing emotions is bad or dangerous. I'd be inconsolable too.
