Jeannette is such a sweet and beautiful woman!! So bright at 97 years old!! Her loving and kind heart shows through. So much sadness she has been through, but has persevered and has won!!! Lately, I have been watching videos of Holocaust survivors and their stories. So many awful people that tortured and murdered innocent people! I can’t understand how people could be so evil. It breaks my heart! Thank you Jeanette for telling your story❤ I wish I could give you a hug! Your story is important and should never be forgotten !
thank you so much Mrs Spiegel for your testimony. I am so sorry that you suffered along with the others, thank you for being so brave to tell us so we can all know the horrors and never allow this to happen again . I hope that your sleep is peaceful these days and that your dreams are sweet. With much love and appreciation ,from New Zealand.
This is an amazing and sad testimony about the depravity of man. I've listened to several of these oral histories and I just am amazed how many of these victims went on to live ordinary lives. This woman is the picture of strength. And compliments to the interviewer. She let her be silent when she wanted to be quiet and reflective and didn't try to move the story on. Those silences are powerful.
I cried many x watching Jeanette , as I remember the very beginning of interview , her smiling lite hearted face , as she was asked to clap her hands ... then throughout the interview after she finished her thought in words, her face and eyes ( with tears building ) reliving her experiences . It's seen here how she held back tears & her life's detrmination , as when she said she knew her family was no longer alive , hoping her sister was & then telling herself - " I will not let them have me ."
I find it so difficult to express how this beautiful lady makes me feel listening to her history. I think the best way to express how I feel is that it is as if she has reached into my soul. The mental pain that crosses her face when she spoke of how she didn't know she would never see her mother again at their parting was heartbreaking. Its as if she has such visual memory that is so painful. Thank you Jeanette for keeping the memories alive and recording it for history. Much love and verbal hugs from the UK.
Bless you, dear lady, for sharing this very difficult story .. I saw many times where you were travelling back in your mind to the events and your perspective of those events. I honour you today and always ♥
I have listened to her for 2 hours, she is the cutest lady I have heard sinced my mother.she has this incredible memories like my mother.my mother would play bingo with 30 cartons at once.she kept record if she had won any game of bingo by memories only.no pens or markers..just by memory. God bless your mother ,she is a special human being.im sure you the family are all very proud of her.
dude this was a old interview and they had a task of interviewing thousands of people with bad audio equipment give em a break after all this interview was in hast of gathering testimonials, these survivors were dying every day they tried
This interviewer was terrible. It was difficult to watch this interview. She should’ve been more patient and allowed her to tell her story without so many interruptions. The other interviews on this channel were great, this interviewer, not so much
What a wonderful precious Lady! I am very impressed and have huge respect for the Holocaust survivors!! I am half German half French, born in the 70ies. I visited Ausschwitz in my final year of Gymnasium, at 18 years in 1989, and it changed my perception of the World and "humanity" forever. Since then, I dedicate every January of every year to the rememberance of the Holocaust and I try to educate myself and my children about what happened, in order to never forget, never repeat and fight totalitarism in whichever form it rises its ugly head. I especially listen to survivor stories - I deeply admire their strength, determination and wisdom and I am so glad they managed to survive!!!
What an incredible lady! I love her. Her hands and nails are still lovely. Such an amazing memory. She is so nice and sweet. The interviewer did a great job by letting her talk and pause and reflect at her own pace. The best I’ve seen so far. Hard to believe she is 97!
Thank you so much Janette to tell your story!! I am from Berlin Germany and 50 years old by now. It is such unbelievable and horrible, what was happened then!!! It never must forgotten and never, never ever happen again!!!! Thank you Janette !!🙏
Amazing. This is the first interview that I have seen that has taken place after the late 1990s and early 2000s thank you for recording and thank you for sharing her story
My words exactly!! .I scrolled down and saw your words ....the only discription of this women other than strong is just precious.. the contrast of evil and love has never been more apparent.. 💔
This testimony is the saddest one I have heard so far of all of them. The raw emotion and sadness she still carries with her after all the time that has passed just destroys me. I don’t know how these German so called human beings could live with what they did.
Sally, I thought and felt the same things. The details she recalls are chilling, to me anyhow. I would love to listen for hours to Mrs Spiegel for hours. I would love to just sit with her. I think the woman interviewing is among the best. The allowed Mrs Siegel to tell her story at her pace, allowing silences, which seem so important to the intricate and tragic narrative. The event with the nuns may have seemed out-of-sequence, but how and where and how she told it: it was perfect. She recalls and tells us about people she met who were nice to her. I know this piece does not matter, but she was in her late nineties here and she is so beautiful. Imagine what she looked like when she was young. I’ve read and listened to, literally, hundreds of witness narratives and this interview, this woman, makes me feel such pain for her and her family.
They not only lived with it, but they also thrived. You haven't seen a happy pensioner until you've seen German retirees traveling all over the world and the locals prostrating themselves in front of them for a good tip. I saw a load of these in the 90s and thought "I wonder what you did fifty years ago, pal". You hear about cruel camp guards, German soldiers throwing newborns out of hospital windows, etc. Unless a bullet found them in combat they were probably never punished. Oh sure sometimes we see some 90-year-old guy being prosecuted today but that's too little too late.
The most wonderful & vivid Shoa testimony I ever was listening to from all this interviews...Jeanette's story is like a movie or a best seller. Thank you for sharing and thank God who enabled this wonderful lady despite all odds such a fullfilled life.
She is so adorable. And so right that she did the right thing in dodging the gestapo for as long as humanly possible. I've seen thousands of survivor testimonies, I am not sure I can think of more than a handful that went into one of the death camps prior to 43. In order to have had a shot to live, you had to either have left Europe prior to summer 39, or not have gotten to a death camp before 43.
Still sharp at her age 💙 A wonderful woman. How could the Nazis do this to such beautiful people? Or rather, how could anyone treat other humans like this? She has beautiful hands.
This is an incredible woman. I’ve heard so many stories of survivors of the holocaust. Every story is remarkable. May we never forget. If you hold an prejudice in your heart, reevaluate your thoughts and make an effort to change from this moment forward. ❤
I love the person crawling around on their hands an knees in the background of her home trying not to disturb her interview🤣🤣 such a delightful old woman.
I have listened to nearly 1000 testimonies. We are so blessed to hear these stories of courage, survival, and governmental tyranny over innocent human beings. Americans are so unaware of how fortunate we should be to have the founding Fathers' experience under tyranny so they knew how important a Constitution would be for Freedom, problem solving, settling disagreement. Still corruption exists when tolerated. Jeanette Spiegle at 97 was still kind, smart, a true winner because she used her tragedy to educate herself and others about surviving; to move ahead of what collapsed behind her via strength unmatched by her captors. She also showed wisdom to become less bitter than the Nazis wanted to make millions of their surviving victims. I loved seeing the respect her family had for her story. l saw her adult grand daughter crawl across the next rooms floor 2 times to avoid distracting viewers of her grandma's story, mistakenly thinking she was out of camera view. I chuckled at that expression of love she had for Jeanette. Political & War Captivity Camps still survive in recent history, Russia, the Middle East, Cambodia, currently China is selling vital organs stolen from the religious prisoner's of conscious, to sell for profit on the world transplant markets. China offers, scheduled ahead of time; "Luxury "Stay Vacations" to buyers of the stolen vital human organs. USA also tolerates the commercialization & profit of early innocent life, selling aborted baby parts to Laboratories for profit ventures. Winners of life are determining losers in this particular endeavor as the voters tolerate this "sacrifice legislation" toward the voiceless unborn. Especially since there are long, expensive adoption options for potential parents waiting eagerly for a baby to raise and love. My twin and I were blessed by our bio mom who gave us 9 months of her 75 years to give us to her sister& brother-in-law after she was assaulted by a stranger on a San Diego Ca. beach. I thanked her, our adopted parents 43. & 47 at the time of our birth, thanked her. We were made for each other. I am going to look for more of Jeanette Spiegel's recordings for the public.
After doing a fact check, I believe that you may have been misled in your information regarding the sale of fetal tissue. The tissue has been used for research and has saved millions of lives in other forms, including life saving development of vaccines. Thanks
I just finished listening to your story, dear Jeanette Spiegel. You are such a remarkable woman. I could listen to you for hours and hours. To see you with your wonderful family at the end of this three hours interwiew is so moving and just heartbreaking. There is so much love ..it's pure joy to see and hear it. What this interview makes so special is your love to live. Everybody who can do this must be a winner...like you are ;) g'd bless you and your family
The interviewer should have asked her age at the different stages of Jeanette’s story. It would have helped to be able to follow more accurately. Nonetheless, Jeanette is lovely and I wish I could meet and talk with her. Thank you and God bless you, Jeanette.
I commend Heidi and the rest of Mrs. Spiegel's family for taking good care of her. As a jewelry collector, I couldn't help notice her beautiful pieces. I think Heidi must have brought her jewelry from home for this occasion (along with a lovely blouse), as the rings are loose and nursing homes are not the place to keep them. We should all be so lucky to have care like that. They should have the pictures ready like before instead of expecting people to hold them out until their arms get tired. Kinda messes up one of good things the survivor have left: their memories in photos. I am enriched by watching this lady- Thank you Jeanette and SALUTE!
@@heidijospiegel8636 Wow- what a survivor she is! I'm always so proud of such people who lost their entire former life, but refused to let anything stop them from making good futures. Please give her a hug!
My heart literally aches with pain for the ones who lived loved and lost thru the Holocaust. I can't even imagine how horrible it must have been. How what makes someone so evil to the root. Smh such a beautiful soul.
I only recently found these testimonies. I'm so glad I did! Where evil people destroy faith in humanity, people like these give hope for humanity back to all who hear them. I had to call my long time friend, who takes care of her mother in her home, to tell her about them today. She and her mom are a great foundation of my own christian faith. For God so loved the world...
The medal of valor ! She is a lady to admire ,reminds me of my mother.her story is incredible,she had to walk for miles ,suffered lack of food .the Nazis should be hunted down and put in front of a judge no matter their age.criminals and abusers ,they were monsters.jeannette is so smart, she has a great memory.
remember people these people conducting these interviews were most over 2 decades ago and the film and audio quality were not like today. many of the people were old in age and its hard. the people who gave these testimonials are a group of dedicated people who wanted to bring these testimonials to us so please forgive them in there hast and lack of audio
What are you talking about “2 decades ago” ? They are talking about the pandemic. This is clearly from just a few months/ years ago. I know technology moves fast but not that fast. There is no excuse for bad audio in this day and age besides being not well prepared. A shame really but Jeanette still managed to share her story and be heard.
What an honor to hear your testimony..I have soo much admiration for the Jewish people for preserving the Old Testament which I read and had confirmation of Jesus(Yeshua)by the description In Isaiah " the Sufferring Servant" ...describes Jesus who died for all our sins in the New Testament ..We are in the Endtimes as the prophecies in the Book of Revelation are unfolding..Take hope In Yeshua..
Still a bit salty about the Austrian people. I dont blame her. Remarkable woman. I noticed the interviewer got warmer or less awkward the more the interview went on. It is a good thing I wasn't the interviewer, I would have been bawling like a baby.
I was not very impressed with the interviewer. The pictures should have been shown Better. SAD!!!! Every other survivors photos where shown enlarged. Better luck next time
What a wonderful and admirable woman and a beautiful spirit. Pity about the interviewer with a very bad timing und constantly interrupting her, to the degree that it started feeling disrespectful in a way at some point. It made me feel very uncomfortable to listen and watch a delicate and committed 97 years old woman, which is being interviewed on surviving a KZ, getting scalded on how she should sit ... - it felt somehow ironical ... uncomfortable to watch
I don't agree. The interviewer is very gentle but she must try to keep events in chronological order. People giving their testimony forget the rest of us don't know the story.
@@janetblanc7658 I've heard over 50 of these. The interviewer is very passive/aggressive. Especially toward the end. She just keeps talking over the poor woman and talking down to her like she's a child. Just awful.
Maybe a young voluntary intern, they not always know how to interact with the elderly - maybe because they have not had the possibility to grow up with older generations. But, the old Lady was so polite and her patience was incredible. But maybe I will be like that if I live so long as she has!
@@iivaridark6850 As far as I know, they’re almost always volunteers! I haven’t listened for his whole thing so I can’t pitch in on this interviewer (some drive me into a rage), but I am pretty impressed by how much time and effort these volunteers put in.
The Interviewer is awful, for example she's asking when the picture of the dog was taken instead of for example asking for pictures from Jeanette as a young woman and mother. The flow of the interview is very bad and often confusing because she's asking unimportant stuff. And she always Interrupts her so rudely that the old lady gets confused. It's a shame because this impressive Lady would have to tell so much more but the Interviewer couldn't handle her right.
In the beginning I thought this interview is genuine and truthful as it can be! BUT listening to the end when she started without any connection with the matter of the story to advertise for somebody who stole from somebody else, calling him just and true, and the other one a dictator, and when she started promoting the vaccine also, I saw that she is lacking integrity and there is a basic dishonesty in her. She is missing wisdom at least. I am pro-semetic, not antisemitic, do not mistake me, please! It doesn't have any connection with what did happened to her, it is very real and horrifying. But suffering doesn't always give wisdom in order for someone to be able to see clearly the reality around herself. In other words she should have had the wisdom to stop there, not to give a political advice to this nation, which saved so many people, who couldn't save themselves.
God bless this woman and her family 🙏🏻 here we are in 2025 under Trump and I’m so sorry he was voted back in. I pray for our country and Jeanette brought me to tears because she didn’t want us to re elect him. I’m half Jewish and I couldn’t even imagine what the holocaust survivors and victims suffered. I will never forget and I’m 55. 😢😢
Lovely women and her story was so heartbreaking…a shame, everything she went through, she dislikes Mr. President Trump, who represents “The People” SOOO sad she has such a strong message, but fails to see American politics as they are…
She will believe what they tell her. Main thing is she survived that horrible Horrible part of her life. God bless her!!!. She doesn't understand all the political issues of drama in USA 🇺🇸 You just got to love her.!!!!!!
She is very savvy about American politics. My mom is still brilliant even now at 100. She knows she is seeing a repeat of what she lived in Vienna and Brussels of a fascist takeover of the Republican party. My mom left the Republican party and became a Democrat.
@@debbiedavis8481My mother is an avid reader and no one tells her what to think or what to do. tRump wants to be an autocrat and tried to overthrow our election. It’s a shame with what my mother went through that her story doesn’t open your eyes to exactly who tRump is, the federalist society, the heritage foundation, and our rogue Supreme Court. They are fascists not maybe but actually are.
She is a very sharp lady who has been through so much, but she is very disillusioned because she said she liked Biden and not Trump. It is such a shame, because President Trump did so many good things for our country while Biden is causing the ruination of Our great country.
She is brilliant still and you can stop watching these testimonies because for you they are not serving as a warning. Exactly what happened to her is what tRump and his ilk are doing to America.
She knows a lot about him. Enough to know that when she saw him come down that escalator and give the speech to announce he was running in June 2015 she said this is what I saw in Vienna when I was a child and Hitler came to power. She left the Republican party and became a Democrat. Don Jr. at the time was still living in our building in 2015.
So sorry she feels about Trump she does. Makes me wonder what she really remembers of what happened to her & her family to speak highly of Biden. He does not care for America or our people. How sad she’d vote democrat.
I agree ,did not like her critical of President Trump. , He is prolife. Biden lets babies die in abortion mills like Hitler killed so many in the consecration camps.
She went through a lot and I am glad she has had a long life. That said to equate Donald Trump to Hitler is a big stretch. His son in law is Jewish and his wife Trumps daughter converted to Judiasm. Also as as President he had the Jewish capital moved to Jerusalem.
@@robertandviviancronin5939 Eh?? She pointed out that he was dictatorial which he absolutely was. He was content to let plenty of people die so that he wouldn’t look remotely bad. He wants people to suffer needlessly so that he will feel just a little better than himself. It’s certainly good he didn’t get that much power, though we’ll see where this country goes. Also he’s said plenty of incredibly antisemitic things before in spite of his extremely conservative, classist, and hard hearted family, regardless of their background or religion. And even though there’s no reason to think Trump would do the same thing H*tler did-there are obvious differences, and you’re right in the sense that he doesn’t have that raging antisemitism-there are still many others he can target. And HAS, though not on that scale; still, he justified openly heinous things, and people embraced it. When you justify torturing snd killing children, that’s it.
Jeannette is such a sweet and beautiful woman!! So bright at 97 years old!! Her loving and kind heart shows through. So much sadness she has been through, but has persevered and has won!!!
Lately, I have been watching videos of Holocaust survivors and their stories. So many awful people that tortured and murdered innocent people! I can’t understand how people could be so evil. It breaks my heart!
Thank you Jeanette for telling your story❤ I wish I could give you a hug! Your story is important and should never be forgotten !
What a beautiful lady doing this testimony in her vintage years!
Incredible memory at her age ,she is one beautiful and tough lady.
What a wonderful lady, so lucid and with an incredible memory for names and details. God bless her and her family.
thank you so much Mrs Spiegel for your testimony. I am so sorry that you suffered along with the others, thank you for being so brave to tell us so we can all know the horrors and never allow this to happen again .

What a well spoken lovely lady, The interviewer did a good job of patiently allowing her to answer the questions
No, she did not. She interrupted her far too many times. She has a very passive/aggressive way about her.

Thank you Janette !!🙏
What an angel! I feel so close to these people, and I am sorry for what Angel had to endure. Sending hugs and love
Thank you for this testimony .This is a nightmare to hear all the stories.
Amazing. This is the first interview that I have seen that has taken place after the late 1990s and early 2000s thank you for recording and thank you for sharing her story

She's sharp as a tack...I'm 71 and can't remember why I went in the bathroom at times. She stole my heart the minute she smiled and clapped.
A great lady. A radiant personality.
You found survivors as late as 2021. How important and fabulous you conducted these ihterviews so so important. Testimony should never be lost.
Reminds me of my mother,such suffering that she must had endured.incredible how human beings are not really human.
The Holocaust was not of God but of evil Satan who uses humans as his tools.
When was it? "I'm 97 so figure it out. " God bless Jeanette.
glad I am not the only one annoyed with the interviewer. Poorly aquipp ed to view her photos. Very sad

I have to admit I giggled because someone crawled on their knees across the way in the background at 1hr 2.0 min.
Wonderful testimony to a winner!!! Thank you for the story.
The interviewer should have asked her age at the different stages of Jeanette’s story. It would have helped to be able to follow more accurately. Nonetheless, Jeanette is lovely and I wish I could meet and talk with her.
Thank you and God bless you, Jeanette.
I agree the interviewer was not impressive
I commend Heidi and the rest of Mrs. Spiegel's family for taking good care of her. As a jewelry collector, I couldn't help notice her beautiful pieces. I think Heidi must have brought her jewelry from home for this occasion (along with a lovely blouse), as the rings are loose and nursing homes are not the place to keep them. We should all be so lucky to have care like that.
They should have the pictures ready like before instead of expecting people to hold them out until their arms get tired. Kinda messes up one of good things the survivor have left: their memories in photos. I am enriched by watching this lady- Thank you Jeanette and SALUTE!
My Mom who is now 100 is in her apartment not a home. I live in the same building.
Anyone you saw crawling is mature trying to tend to my dad who I had literally brought home from rehab a week earlier recovering from a stroke.
@@heidijospiegel8636 Wow- what a survivor she is! I'm always so proud of such people who lost their entire former life, but refused to let anything stop them from making good futures. Please give her a hug!
@@heidijospiegel8636 Sorry- my mistake. I'm sure you all had your hands full. I apologize- it was thoughtless.
My heart literally aches with pain for the ones who lived loved and lost thru the Holocaust. I can't even imagine how horrible it must have been. How what makes someone so evil to the root. Smh such a beautiful soul.
True brave lady
This testimony should be taught in school
Such a loverly lady, so sad what happened 70 years ago xx
She looks so much like my grandmothers, Slovak Catholics...people are more alike than people think. G_d bless her
This is to much for this lady. She's 97 years old. I pray she had peace after this.
She is a very happy lady because she knows living her best life has been her revenge. Mom has 5 great grandchildren and a 6th on the way.
I only recently found these testimonies. I'm so glad I did! Where evil people destroy faith in humanity, people like these give hope for humanity back to all who hear them. I had to call my long time friend, who takes care of her mother in her home, to tell her about them today. She and her mom are a great foundation of my own christian faith. For God so loved the world...
How sad, Im so so sorry!
The medal of valor ! She is a lady to admire ,reminds me of my mother.her story is incredible,she had to walk for miles ,suffered lack of food .the Nazis should be hunted down and put in front of a judge no matter their age.criminals and abusers ,they were monsters.jeannette is so smart, she has a great memory.
Very nice and smart lady.
remember people these people conducting these interviews were most over 2 decades ago and the film and audio quality were not like today. many of the people were old in age and its hard. the people who gave these testimonials are a group of dedicated people who wanted to bring these testimonials to us so please forgive them in there hast and lack of audio
What are you talking about “2 decades ago” ? They are talking about the pandemic. This is clearly from just a few months/ years ago. I know technology moves fast but not that fast.
There is no excuse for bad audio in this day and age besides being not well prepared. A shame really but Jeanette still managed to share her story and be heard.
@@earningyourearswithkristin878 your rite i was pretty tired when i wrote that
So glad you won!
What a lovely lady with an extraordinary story. Interviewers should be instructed not to interrupt so much and give elderly more time to respond.
Totally agree
The sound is excellent in this video 😊🇦🇺
I thought the interviewer was polite and respectful.
"TO SPEAK THE NAME OF THE DEAD IS TO MAKE THEM LIVE AGAIN."
- Ancient Egyptian belief
What an honor to hear your testimony..I have soo much admiration for the Jewish people for preserving the Old Testament which I read and had confirmation of Jesus(Yeshua)by the description In Isaiah " the Sufferring Servant" ...describes Jesus who died for all our sins in the New Testament ..We are in the Endtimes as the prophecies in the Book of Revelation are unfolding..Take hope In Yeshua..
Still a bit salty about the Austrian people. I dont blame her. Remarkable woman. I noticed the interviewer got warmer or less awkward the more the interview went on. It is a good thing I wasn't the interviewer, I would have been bawling like a baby.
I was not very impressed with the interviewer. The pictures should have been shown Better. SAD!!!! Every other survivors photos where shown enlarged. Better luck next time
GOD BLESS ALL OF THEM! AND LET ALL OF US BE SAVIORS WHO REALLY WANT TO BE LOVED BY GOD WHO AM! Gudrun in Sweden🇮🇱🇸🇪
Thank goodness her testimony is on record. What sweet revenge, that she lived so long and so well while her tormentors rot in hell.
Wow what a beautiful lady 😊
So many more could have been saved if the british and American goverment had been more generous instead of always putting the money first.
Wow. She remembered Irma grese being nice to her. Probably because she spoke German, so Irma didn’t lose her patience
Great Lady!
The spell checker testing is just awful...
A horror show-a band playing, Dr Death in view and people being led to the crematorium 😮🇦🇺
It's 2025 now. I'm so sorry Jeanette. Thankyou for your testimony
CHRIST JESUS LORD AND GOD BLESS MAMI ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Very interesting story. Very nice and brave lady. It was nice, to see the picures a little bit better.
What a wonderful and admirable woman and a beautiful spirit. Pity about the interviewer with a very bad timing und constantly interrupting her, to the degree that it started feeling disrespectful in a way at some point. It made me feel very uncomfortable to listen and watch a delicate and committed 97 years old woman, which is being interviewed on surviving a KZ, getting scalded on how she should sit ... - it felt somehow ironical ... uncomfortable to watch
The interviewer had to do it remotely because of COVID19 so Mom is talking to her on a laptop.
I love that she used scissors to ruin the clothing going to Germany. And she is still feisty at 97!
What a horrible interviewer: interrupting all the time, speaking over, and never letting this lovely woman finish her thoughts.
I don't agree. The interviewer is very gentle but she must try to keep events in chronological order. People giving their testimony forget the rest of us don't know the story.
@@janetblanc7658 I've heard over 50 of these. The interviewer is very passive/aggressive. Especially toward the end. She just keeps talking over the poor woman and talking down to her like she's a child. Just awful.
l thought I was the only one, grrrr I was annoyed
Maybe a young voluntary intern, they not always know how to interact with the elderly - maybe because they have not had the possibility to grow up with older generations. But, the old Lady was so polite and her patience was incredible. But maybe I will be like that if I live so long as she has!
@@iivaridark6850 As far as I know, they’re almost always volunteers! I haven’t listened for his whole thing so I can’t pitch in on this interviewer (some drive me into a rage), but I am pretty impressed by how much time and effort these volunteers put in.
Such a smart lady, a pity her husband put an end to her promising career.
My mom didn’t want her career. She wanted to rebuild and have children. Believe me if Mom wanted a career nothing would have stopped her.
We can't see well the pictures! Such a pitty!
The Interviewer is awful, for example she's asking when the picture of the dog was taken instead of for example asking for pictures from Jeanette as a young woman and mother.
The flow of the interview is very bad and often confusing because she's asking unimportant stuff.
And she always Interrupts her so rudely that the old lady gets confused.
It's a shame because this impressive Lady would have to tell so much more but the Interviewer couldn't handle her right.
In the beginning I thought this interview is genuine and truthful as it can be! BUT listening to the end when she started without any connection with the matter of the story to advertise for somebody who stole from somebody else, calling him just and true, and the other one a dictator, and when she started promoting the vaccine also, I saw that she is lacking integrity and there is a basic dishonesty in her. She is missing wisdom at least. I am pro-semetic, not antisemitic, do not mistake me, please! It doesn't have any connection with what did happened to her, it is very real and horrifying. But suffering doesn't always give wisdom in order for someone to be able to see clearly the reality around herself.
In other words she should have had the wisdom to stop there, not to give a political advice to this nation, which saved so many people, who couldn't save themselves.
Wonderful testimony but I was distracted by people in background crawling back and forth on their hands and knees(?).
I find this story hard to follow because of all the interruptions made by interviewer.
and think she is saying Schwarzwalde
God bless this woman and her family 🙏🏻 here we are in 2025 under Trump and I’m so sorry he was voted back in. I pray for our country and Jeanette brought me to tears because she didn’t want us to re elect him. I’m half Jewish and I couldn’t even imagine what the holocaust survivors and victims suffered. I will never forget and I’m 55. 😢😢
💐❤️
Still a beautiful Viennese accent. Unfortunately she is right that the Austrian Antisemitism was even worse than the german one.
Lovely women and her story was so heartbreaking…a shame, everything she went through, she dislikes Mr. President Trump, who represents “The People” SOOO sad she has such a strong message, but fails to see American politics as they are…
She will believe what they tell her.
Main thing is she survived that horrible
Horrible part of her life. God bless her!!!.
She doesn't understand all the political issues of drama in USA 🇺🇸
You just got to love her.!!!!!!
She is very savvy about American politics. My mom is still brilliant even now at 100. She knows she is seeing a repeat of what she lived in Vienna and Brussels of a fascist takeover of the Republican party. My mom left the Republican party and became a Democrat.
@@debbiedavis8481My mother is an avid reader and no one tells her what to think or what to do. tRump wants to be an autocrat and tried to overthrow our election. It’s a shame with what my mother went through that her story doesn’t open your eyes to exactly who tRump is, the federalist society, the heritage foundation, and our rogue Supreme Court. They are fascists not maybe but actually are.
She is a very sharp lady who has been through so much, but she is very disillusioned because she said she liked Biden and not Trump. It is such a shame, because President Trump did so many good things for our country while Biden is causing the ruination of Our great country.
President Trump was so good to Israel. ❤❤❤
She is brilliant still and you can stop watching these testimonies because for you they are not serving as a warning. Exactly what happened to her is what tRump and his ilk are doing to America.
@@raulikalervoNo. It’s part of the grift.
She apparently didn’t know very much at all about Donal Trump. After all she went thru she shouldn’t have said that it seems to me.
She knows a lot about him. Enough to know that when she saw him come down that escalator and give the speech to announce he was running in June 2015 she said this is what I saw in Vienna when I was a child and Hitler came to power. She left the Republican party and became a Democrat. Don Jr. at the time was still living in our building in 2015.
Very interesting testimony, only marred by her critiscim of Trump.
She’s sharp as a tack and brilliant and knows a fascist when they speak.
So sorry she feels about Trump she does. Makes me wonder what she really remembers of what happened to her & her family to speak highly of Biden. He does not care for America or our people. How sad she’d vote democrat.
She knows tRump plans on being an autocrat. I guess her testimony was wasted on you.
I can't believe how politically misled she is !
I agree ,did not like her critical of President Trump. , He is prolife. Biden lets babies die in abortion mills like Hitler killed so many in the consecration camps.
???
She went through a lot and I am glad she has had a long life. That said to equate Donald Trump to Hitler is a big stretch. His son in law is Jewish and his wife Trumps daughter converted to Judiasm. Also as as President he had the Jewish capital moved to Jerusalem.
@@robertandviviancronin5939 Eh?? She pointed out that he was dictatorial which he absolutely was. He was content to let plenty of people die so that he wouldn’t look remotely bad. He wants people to suffer needlessly so that he will feel just a little better than himself.
It’s certainly good he didn’t get that much power, though we’ll see where this country goes. Also he’s said plenty of incredibly antisemitic things before in spite of his extremely conservative, classist, and hard hearted family, regardless of their background or religion.
And even though there’s no reason to think Trump would do the same thing H*tler did-there are obvious differences, and you’re right in the sense that he doesn’t have that raging antisemitism-there are still many others he can target. And HAS, though not on that scale; still, he justified openly heinous things, and people embraced it. When you justify torturing snd killing children, that’s it.
From my perspective I can’t believe how politically misled you are. So…
🙄
