Miriam passed away this January 23,3021. May she be at eternal rest and happiness in Paradise. 🙏🏼💜

@theflaca 2 года назад

Wow, so recent. And I'm thinking they all died years ago, just watching their videos now. Many more have also just passed on, but still some are alive. The persistence of life and its prosperity, is the greatest vengeance of all.

Typo: you meant January 23, (20)21. :)

@@theflaca they teach us as if it happened lifetimes ago. But....a lot of these survivors are younger than my grandparents!!

@smokvicaberber8361 Год назад

Oh looks like her whole family survived they didn’t kill her whole family. Brothers and sisters survived this is exactly same what happenned to non Jewish families as well . We also had one child tortured and killed in concentration camp non German . 15 years old and one cousin same age.

These are videos that should be played in school. It is so important to learn as many stories as possible to understand the horrors and the will of survival that human beings have in hard times. It would be amazing if the school curriculum wanted to educate young people about the disasters that come from power corruption but also to remember the stories of people their age going through such terrible events. I think this would invoke a better understanding of humanity and a want to change things in a step towards equality.

@adrieneanders0n998 Год назад

I too believe that the holocaust should be taught in school because children and young people need to know and understand the holocaust. Otherwise, there is the danger of forgetting and or saying it didn’t happen.

I’ve listened to many of these stories where people from Poland wished they’d gone to Siberia. It’s wonderful to hear this story of someone who did go, and the different suffering of people who went east. May her memory be a blessing.

@rayklein1125 3 года назад

Incredible story. To watch your parents and then sister pass before your eyes. How can any human imagine the pain and suffering. I'm so happy you found a good man whom, like you survived the Holocaust. God bless you and your wonderful family always. I'm in awe of your courage

Tendentious questions. This lady initially said that she had friends among the gentile population, and the interviewer only asked about hostile people, and nothing about friends.

@jessa7323 Месяц назад

Yes. This is unfortunate. I'm not sure why they do that. I know they wanted to record the wrongs that were done to the Jewish people but also they ask about other things like how they lived as children etc. I have seen a lot of these though and some interviewers do ask about friends etc

Shelbi hi , this isn't just her testimony, this is a "documentation of the facts:" this is why the narrator is interrupting her to keep some chronological order. Xx stay safe , stay strong

As much as I want to listen to this beautiful lady testimony, I simply can't, unfortunately. Due to the interviewer. I really wished that before the interviewer conducts testimony. Someone would let the interviewer know how important the survivor is. They are to be treated with the most respect and compassion. Remember they are the victim. They experience something that was made to kill them in the worst way possible. For the survivors to not only survive such dark, hateful, terrifying, violent times. Is a miracle. And for the victims to be nice enough to take the time to relieve such suffering and horrors, and tell us their first hand testimony is incredible! Such strong and brave women and men. We should listen with are ears and try to imagine going threw such horrors. No interrupting. No asking questions tell afterwards. Only if the survivor agrees. I can imagine that after reliving this dark,evil, time she must be emotionally drained. So please respect and treat survivors with the upmost respect and most loving compassion ❤️

@casmatori Год назад

The interviewer was great. She helped her a lot in keeping her on track with the story and helping her with English words.

My god! This is just unbelievable! That story of her burying her sister! I couldn’t keep it together. This is so horrific. I’m sitting here going “you’ve got to be kidding”! What this poor lady went through is so mind boggling it just defies belief. How could you have a sane mind after this?? She’s an incredible woman.

@whimsyrt 10 лет назад

I'm so disgusted but unfortunately not surprised at the way my country, Britain, treated this lady and many many like her. As if they hadn't been through enough already. Every survivor is one in the eye to the nazis. May god bless every day you live xxx

@annkelly6643 5 лет назад

Do you know the sacrifice made by millions of British who against massive odds went to war to protect us and free Europe from the monstrous nazi regime? You may feel that way, I'm proud of what we helped achieved. Don't be an apologist for me. What the Nazi regime did was horrific, blame them not us.

@Pommy1957 10 месяцев назад

Yeah, maybe you'd rather we'd have remained neutral like Sweden & made a fortune out of selling stuff to the Nazis', instead of sacrificing our young men & women, eh?

magda boo hoo, they can say whatever they need to say. Your irritation with her generalization is minuscule in comparison to their suffering.

@norml6874 5 лет назад

I think it’s quite audacious to presume the atmosphere of a past time when we were not there nor even alive. She is giving a personal testimony of her interpretation of the way it felt and I’m sure that it felt as if all poles were anti Semitic.. I doubt nothing she says in any way

@brandyb2931 4 года назад

I think you are seriously missing the point here.

@frenchartantiquesparis424 4 года назад

I have watched at least 40 of these testimonies in the past two months.... EVERYONE of people who lived in Poland said the Polish were terribly antisemitic. So, I believe it.

@CologneCarter 3 года назад

Some? Aren't you trying to whitewash history here? You shouldn't judge by the way things were around you when you made the statement, but the times when Mrs. Reitzenstein made her statement. And I am pretty sure things haven't changed that much.

Not too much of a surprise. It happened every so often when things were desperate. And let's be honest, if you have nothing to eat, and I mean nothing, every piece of edible meat looks tasty. It's easy to say "I would never... under nor circumstances..." if you are well fed or less well fed and still know some means to get sustenance, legal or illegal, before having to consider to feed on a fellow human being.
