The Eyewitness to History video library was created to enable audiences everywhere to hear firsthand testimony from Holocaust survivors. This video was created from a live digital program recorded on July 7, 2021. It featured Irene Fogel Weiss, who was only 13 when Nazi collaborators shaved her hair soon after she entered an overcrowded Hungarian ghetto. Her mother gave her a scarf to wear around her bald head, making her look older and potentially saving her life when Irene was later sent to a killing center. In this program, she discussed her experiences as a teen in Hungary and what happened to her large family when faced with selection and separation at Auschwitz-Birkenau.

The interviewer is so compassionate at the same time looks clearly horrified at what he is hearing. I am Czech not Jewish but absolutely heartbroken at what this poor lady and all other Jews had been put through. Unimaginable what a human is capable of doing to another. Thank you for sharing your story Irene. Wishing you love strength good health. So sorry about the loss of your story.❤️🍀

Cette femme est magnifique ! Un exemple de force, de courage et d'humanité qui nous réconcilient avec la nature humaine ! Un petit neveu de Georges Brochet 1906-1968, résistant français, immatriculé 185176 à Birkenau le 1er mai 1944. Le frère de mon grand-père fut dénoncé à la Gestapo pour avoir mis les enfants de sa logeuse juive à son nom...( convoi parti de Compiègne Royallieu le 27 avril 1944, emportant aussi le poète français Robert Desnos, mort du typhus à la libération du camp de Terezinstadt).Merci chère Irène , votre prénom (la paix en grec) vous va à merveille !

I'm so sorry to you Irene but I know you have no belief in humanity because of your tragic life story much respect to you ☹😟

Thank you, for your courage to tell your story.

@ilovefabricandflowers8543 2 года назад

Speaking up is so valuable. Without any diminishment of this dear lady's story. In our society, we must talk about difficult things. I know personally someone who was terribly abused as a child and her body is just broken. She tells her story whenever she can. She says, when asked why she is so crippled and yet so young, she says"I am a product of terrible child abuse". People are usually shocked but then her story is told.

BaRuch HaShem. Blessings and Shalom to you Irene, to the Holocaust Museum staff/volunteers and May the memory of the countless millions (?) who perished be of blessed memory. WOW, what vivid detailed accounts of your journey through darkness to survival. Your words encoded visual images and emotions where no photos could ever capture the essence of your experience. Thank you for sharing, for keeping the memory of the slain preserved and ensuring the world always remembers this great evil that we will never allow people/group to be systematically erased from humanity ever again. Thank you.
