2022 First Person with Holocaust Survivor Halina Peabody 

I’m bitter just listening to it. I don’t think I would have survived long.these men, women and children are. Heroes

Because they understand you can’t fight fire with fire and hate and bitterness is how it even happened in the first place

Absolutely.. Such a lesson, hate breds hate,

I agree; I've listened to several survivor stories in this series and I've also been struck by the grace, sometimes even humor and the lack of bitterness in these amazing folks. Perhaps it's because they were children (some of them very young) at the time of the war?

well, we don"t know that, I believe they had PTSD and work through the different phases of rehabilitation. Or only the ones actually in the camps for yrs.

Hello there Mary nice meeting you here

@Sunshine Baby we fully understand it happen to anyone who were not in agreement with Hitler. The majority were Jewish. But you have to admit it's the Jewish community that continues to educate us. This has got to be very painful for those who were victims to relive. The positive thing for them is it takes them out of being victim to being educators.

@Sunshine Baby I am one of the many people who are still horrified about what happened to so many good people.. My heart is with you and all the families still struggling. I would like to believe I would of been one of those people who helped. When I was younger I question it because I was gullible. Today tho I know I would do all I could to help. This time tho it is pointed at anyone who worships God. Christian and Jewish a like . I have complete faith God is very active and he will not allow it to go that far. What I say next please don't take wrong. Just like Jesus had to die for our sins the Holocaust had to happen. For a couple of reasons I can see. One would be the Jewish got their land back . Another would be to show us people no matter how advance we think we are we are still capable of horrible wickedness. I just wish mankind were not so evil. I love the Jewish people and am very grateful for the victim still educating us. Most of all I love them for my God. Christian's would not know God without the Jewish people. My God is their God. I will tell you tho I would be very much involved in an underground if it becomes needed today. I stand we God and I stand with his people. We gentiles are here today to stand for Isreal and his people. Isreal is FOREVER. AMEN

@@sandyangel4243 if Jesus died for our sins, it unfortunately did not prevent most of us from sinning. I don't believe there can be anything to gain from so much suffering. Hopefully we shall all believe in the one Creator one day without the intermediary of the various religions, which cause so much division.

How was he not gassed also? Children weren't allowed to live.

@@birdyfilovingheart6365 don't ask me I'm not a historian but I am just thank full he was not

Mentioning someone’s pronouns is actively showing inclusion to all in society. Haven’t we had enough of exclusions of what is deemed ‘normal’ or ‘acceptable’? Hasn’t the Shoah taught the world what happens when we discriminate against people for race/preference/Religion? It takes me no more time to say their’s or his or hers. Humans are humans, it’s not about tolerance it’s not about acceptance it is about respect.

@@Heavenlea1975 I just do not understand what this has to do with people being racist of intolerance, how is saying that you identify as she / her etc anything to do with tolerance, unification, "inclusion" (whatever that means - just another buzz word that means absolutely nothing). Do you think this woman with all that she has been through in her life wants to hear someone saying - hello, I identify as a woman! Really? These pronouns will help to stop racism, and future genocides will they? HOW do they show inclusion? A serious question Heavenlea - how?????? I am deeply worried about what society is doing - they're making up problems where they don't exist!!!! This girl who asked the question, Vanessa, who is she unifying or including? I seriously despair of the way people think with this utter woke nonsense!

@@Heavenlea1975 lol these older people, the holocaust survives most likely don’t understand, and don’t have any real need to. If anything being fussy and insisting she use/announce her pronouns for the younger society is unnecessary and disrespectful af. It’s our job to understand her message, not for her to conform to yours. These survivors have been through enough, and almost certainly far worse than any of us have. Teaching the elderly to change pronoun structure they’ve been using for 80+ years is ridiculous, she’s been speaking 2-3x longer than we’ve even been alive 🤷🏼‍♀️ Leave people be, especially when it’s not the time or place to impose something unnecessary

@@christafox13 I absolutely agree, maybe I didn’t make myself clearer - I do that sometimes :/ I was just relaying why the person stated their pronouns is all. If I was interviewing a survivor they could call me whatever they wanted as I would be far more interested to be the provider of another survivors story for the world to hear. ( I grew up with very anti semetic parents. I disagreed with them and it had made me form very VERY different views of equality as I have grown. I made it my payment to the survivors for the ignorance of my parents to listen to all testimonies and speak of them frequently in conversation for others to be made aware.

@@Heavenlea1975I dont think anyone should feel obligated to announce their pronouns. Especially elderly populations who have set linguistic patterns. Asking them to remember to announce their pronouns is tedious to an elderly person who’s trying to concentrate on telling their story. If you want to announce your pronouns, great:) I’ll refer to anyone by the pronouns they wish to be called by. But the majority of society, especially older people, find it unnecessary to integrate announcing their own pronouns into their communication skills. Especially if it has never bothered them. Now, if they feel like they want to express their pronouns or find it be beneficial, that’s great too. But it’s not mandatory. Especially when communicating within language barriers, telling someone to explain their preferred pronouns could be misunderstood as offensive. (not this case, but in general)

I mean, yeah. But at that time, it was Mandate Palestine. We have always called it Eretz Israel. But internationally? It was Palestine

@@farapipsqueek636 “Palestine” was a name given by the Roman Empire to the Jewish state that they destroyed in the year 70. “Palestine” in the 20th century was all the territories that are today the state of Israel and the kingdom of Jordan. This territory was kept in the hands of the British - so a modern state of Israel will be able to be established. But in 1922 England cheated the Jews and gave the territories that were on the eastern part of the Jordan river to a family that came from what is today - Saudi Arabia - and the British renamed this part of “Palestine” - The kingdom of Jordan. Therefore - todays Jordan is the so called “original” Palestine. In addition - 85% of the citizens of the kingdom of Jordan today are considered to be Palestinians. Therefore - Jordan is Palestine. And leave Israel to the Jews, the original nation that really own the area .

Actually there was a coin issued in 1934 with the Magen David on one side and the swastika on the other that said “Ein Nazi fahrt nach palastina”

The pictures of the survivors taken by the allies at the camps show the starvation they endured.
