This interviewer didn’t do anything to validate or even acknowledge the retraumatization that was happening right in front of her. I get that she was under a lot of pressure to get his entire testimony but she made it way too obvious that she was getting frustrated and and the fact that he didn’t respond in a way to match her energy shows how strong he really is. I had to turn it off when she blurted out “WHY ARE YOU CRYING”. Beyond disgusting.
I watched this in 2 parts. I commented on the first half already . During the 2nd half Mrs. Torica’s story became more heartbreaking and compelling . The interviewer became stupider with her questions. My advice-throw your script /notes/ questions away and JUST LISTEN to what this wonderful woman is telling you!!
Stella was very interesting to listen to-interviewer on the other hand has been asking some on the stupidest questions. She doesn’t seem to listen to what Stella has already said. Bottom line-interviewer obviously not very bright!!!

The Germans were thieves, liars, manipulators and embodied everything normal people try not to be. I think the interviewer did a decent job of bridging the gap between 1940 and 2024. The way the Germans took people's hard earned belongings really bothers me. What a bunch of jerks. I really appreciate the historical recollection this gentleman provides. I encourage everyone to keep watching as the interviewer does soften her tone substantially, and does elicit important details from the era. The amount of killing he described is abhorrent.
How did he live after orders were given to kill all... What does "Holocaust" mean? The Greek word 'Holocaust' = Burnt offering to Moloch- preferably youth/babies. Moloch was a statue to represent the evil one which traveled just beyond Israelis borders, the story's in Bible/Torah.
We have had on this earth men like Hitler, Attila, Putin and now trump who are born without any feelings and who have been the cause of so much pain and deaths. I often wonder if they think what will happen to them at the time of their deaths.
I am glad that she survived and has been able to cope with her past. I had a friend whose family were in the concentration camps and her father had a very hard time with his memories which affected his daughter. To this day I cannot understand why people can be so cruel to one another, we all come from one source. I wish people would understand that when you are being cruel to another you are in reality harming yourself, it’s kind of going backwards instead of forward, you are regressing towards brutality. Why are people so devoid of empathy and humanity.
Its starting to happen again in the USA. Project 25 needs to be stopped. Human Rights (women's healthcare rights) matter. The Republican Party is no more. I implore voting against a totalitarian government and they vote for and keep their Democratic Republic.
Mr. Klaus did an excellent job of recollecting the actions of the Nazis in the early days. This was very interesting to me to compare with current events. The Nazis were a bunch of thugs. It really shows state supported actions do bring punishment. It was interesting to hear about the different groups of people besides the jewish population that was targeted. I did not know the SS gassed people in box cars using carbon monoxide. They were ruthless. You, the interviewer, did an excellent job with the monitor attachments.
Her testimony is so important. The part about the vegatable garden key. About the quotas. On how antisemism grew even more after the Nazi army invaded Hungary. The jewlery cavity search made me cry. I have listened to many testimonies but I still cannot understand. How could the Germans and the Hungarians commit such atrocities against Jewish Hungarians and look in the mirror every day. The pain of not being able to hug her father goodbye when being taken to Auschwitz.
Terribly rude interviewer - my gosh😢 How did she ever get this to do!!! Its painful to listen to her horiible tone of questioning esp for a man in so much distress about even deciding to be there !!!! Such an interrogation!! He had amazingly terrible experiences and she makes it sound like she doesnt believe him !! My goah this is so terrible!!
THIS was such a remarkable story, it needs to be a book as well as a movie! Thank you for telling us and for helping us in America understand how our language can inform our behavoir and acceptance of things that are so wrong!
The interviewer has no interviewing skills whatsoever. She asked too many unnecessary questions instead of allowing that brave man to just speak his account of the atrocities uninterrupted. Whoever introduced her to him is just as horrible as she.
I love this man. I'm so glad he found happiness and prospered in his life after the war, found love and had children and grandchildren. He deserved it. RIP Mr. Kahn. xo
Her eyes are so sad. I imagine this woman has spent her entire life just on the cusp of crying. What a sad place to be in, in your heart and mind. May heaven have cleared her soul of all pain and heartache, and may she now be rejoicing with all of her loved ones lost before her. RIP strong and brave lady xo Thank you for sharing your story. I will never forget. xo
You guys are awesome. Idk why my Christian demographic is so infamously mute and incurious on the documentation of such awful examples of collective atrocity, but..whatever. The Shoah Foundation also uses interviews of people from all over to raise conscoousness - Rwanda, Burma, etc. Congratulations on being famously literate and thorough on documenting important matters.
