A friend’s mother was a concentration camp survivor. She was one of the most exuberant people you could ever meet but I never heard or asked any of her stories. When my friend became a teacher, every year their mother would tell her stories of this place to the students and show them her tattooed number. Made a very big impact on them.

@evilshrimpy Год назад

It was dark and painful, frightening and difficult, but she still had to go into that room no matter what. Even though you can never leave, how can you not want to go in, knowing that someone you love is trapped in there, all alone?

@samwrobel9335 Год назад

What I love about this is that it is the story about the stories. She spares us going into that room, but it was important to explain why her father kept her out as long as he could.

The animation was amazing. Especially during the scene of entering the dark room

@garrettlancaster3979 Год назад

I love StoryCrops. Im particularly happy that they keep sharing important stories like this one.

@Cbatm0tel49 Год назад

Very powerful and moving. Never forget.

@xanderalaniz2298 Год назад

Thank you for sharing this. I have heard that this was a similar situation with many many holocaust survivors who would keep their children in the dark about the pain and suffering they when through... maybe its selfishness, maybe its protective, but regardless it shows how painful jt was that very few can even communicate what they went through. 😢

@PogieJoe Год назад

This is such a unique survivor story. Great work, everyone

@m3rrys0ngstr3ss Год назад

I don't blame him for trying to keep the truth from her - who wants their child to have that kind of secondary trauma?

@theheckwithit Год назад

This so was touching even if it was one of the more sobering tales. This is why we can't forget what happened and must fight against tho trying to deny and erase the memory of it. Nazis and their enablers should have no place anywhere in our world or else these "rooms" may end up being built again.

I grew up in Dachau, Bavaria, Germany. And I, a small child, just knew that the KZ there had something to do with WWII and that it is a big wall next to a street but I never what it was exactly. Growing up Ive learnt enough about its purpose and the history behind it but Ive never had been in there until I got into 9th grade. Of course it wasnt as big a KZ as Auschwitz etc. but the logistics and the will to build all those perfectly working murder camps just terrified me. It just hit me right in the heart. Further investigation about what they did in there wasnt just murdering but exploiting humans, experimenting on them, ... the list goes on. Never forget.

@jacquelinecapel5282 Год назад

I love these stories even the sad ones.I've learned so much from them all.

@aimeeinkling 11 месяцев назад

My grandfather took his secrets about that time with him to the grave. He didn't even have "Robin Hood" stories. We knew not to bring it up. Now it's all lost.

@asinatrafanatic2697 9 месяцев назад

I'm a big believer that some things are best to be left unsaid, be it to the satisfaction of others or not. I truly hope your grandfather is at peace; you as well.

@tiamarie6719 Год назад

When things like this happen, it's really sad.

@elihan9 Год назад

There is survivor's guilt. If you survived the explanation, at least among others was you were a victim, a coward, or a kapo.

@Eltoca21 Год назад

This one hurts to listen to on so many levels.

@sapphirewingthefurrycritic985 Месяц назад

I hope the pain of this goes away eventually but I don't think it can.

My grandma never wanted to talk about the war and her time during the german occupation of the netherlands The only story i knew and well known was how her and her parents were almost caught by SS for hiding jews ill go into it later The less known one was how her uncle was beaten and almost shot for witholding info about the locations of resistance members. He only lived by telling the germans that if he shot him they would never find out She hated talking about the war she felt uncomfortable about me and my mom asking her about that time and altho i didnt wanna make her feel uncomfortable if i knew when she would have died i would have pressured more. I wished i had known what she went through at age of 4 till 8

@thomaspaine7098 5 месяцев назад

My late great aunt told me of how her uncle was shot by the nazis for trying to return to his home to retrieve family photos

@diub24 4 месяца назад

Is there not a podcast episode for this story

@rachels6808 4 месяца назад

I wish I knew, but I also can’t imagine knowing.

The German prison camps of WW2 get far worse and darker the more you look into them. The atrocities that were forced upon those poor people were beyond unspeakable. My heart goes out to the souls of those lost in those horrid camps and to the families left behind. While I never knew someone who's family member had been there personally, I do know some of the horrors. A bit of a room that I entered myself. Those who recognize the term 'Sonderkommando' know what I'm talking about. And for those who don't know, PLEASE DO NOT LOOK IT UP.
