Mr. Kahn gives an inspiring testimony. My blood ran cold during parts of his recollection. My favorite part was when he spoke about his wife, children, and grandchildren. Then he had the most beautiful smile, his face changed totally. I just want to thank him. I kept wondering, how does he ever make it out alive. Then towards the end, when he speaks about his family, and he has that smile, I felt so relieved. I thank Mr. Kahn for telling us about his life. It is important, it will always be important, so, that we can learn from history.
So many details… comprehensive account, beautifully told! Thanks to Mr. Khan for his testimony, for his heart of gold, for his remarkable resilience and courage
This is a captivating testimony by "Fritz" & a wonderful job by the interviewer; she was so patient & kindly. I'm so wondering how Fritz met his wife. It sounded like it was just a couple of years or less after he had arrived in Seattle. So happy for him to have lived, to have lived to tell his story, and for him to have a wife & children & grandchildren. Yes, his face lit up beautifully as he spoke of them! So happy for him to have happiness!
Although all the stories told about the survivors of the Holocaust come from the same tree, from the same tragedy and the same horrors, it never ceases to move me as to how many branches they are, each one is different from the other. Thank you for your tolerance and for your example of struggle, it will not be forgotten.
I love all of this and all in the future should watch this so history (which sadly always does) does not repeat itself! We are all human! But as someone who is from Chicago, yep it can be hot and humid in Chicago in August, but boy had he came in December he would have been freezing! I am so glad he ended up in the USA. Like Jamie below I think he can be very serious but when he spoke of his wife, children, and grandchildren, there was such a nice smile.
I think he was very concentrated and focused. It is hard to recount so much detail after all this time and he was constantly quizzed -what year? what was his name? It must have been quite exhausting to do this interview apart from anything else.
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
This man’s story is very interesting and deserves to be told without distraction. I find it irritating though that the interviewer has to ask him nearly every time what the name was of other people in his story. I suppose there is some good reason for this, but it is distracting from this man’s story and not near as important as his story.
Mr. Kahn has such a powerful testimony. His friend Hans was a TRUE friend. Hans truly wanted the best for others. People like myself who have spent their lives in the complete freedom of the USA, cannot relate to the horror Shoah survivors endured. We must learn & teach. 1st hand witnesses will soon all be gone. It is our duty to ensure the Holocaust is never forgotten. 🙏
@@lauralusk9953 I understand what an interview is!! Without going into my personal background when interviewing someone within any context it is important to allow the person to finish their sentences without interruption further when interviewing within a historical context as well as a trauma survivor it is very important to allow the person to speak freely and then ask questions to gain more insight into their experience!!!
@@Vitagirl Agree! Plus constant rustling of papers, whispering, and background noise of the instructor is so annoying. I've seen a couple of testimonies with his interviewer, and she did a poor job on every single one.
I agree. She interrupted him more than a few times when he was going on about a certain event. He even told her that he would come to whatever she was interrupting him about later.
