    I’m so grateful for those videos to be posted. Those testimonies are so incredibly important. Indeed it’d be great if the sound volume could be a little higher.

      I have watched many, and I bought a small speaker to hear them at first. I upgraded to a Bose so movies sound much better now, too. You're right- these are important Historical recordings. Sad that sensational videos like the crash of the Hindenburg are famous, while these are not.

    tHANK YOU. Thank you. Born january 1939 in Normandy France. During the time of Mr Hoffman's life I discovered the atrocities of Nazis in the ' Stalingrad of Normandy" BUT in 1944, we were liberated by POLISH, gal Madek, the British and the Americans. I bear my cross everyday? I always said 'thank you' to those who served LIFE/ Regards

    In the 1930s Polish universities introduced the so called „Desk Ghetto” enforcing stringent quotas on the number of Polish Jewish students allowed to study, and those who were admitted had to remain standing up in the back of the room while non-Jewish fellow students could attend lectures sitting. The University of Warsaw only recently added a plaque which acknowledges this tarnishing period in the history of the university.

    I suggested to people below that they get a speaker to hear these better. MANY are hard to hear. I bought a used Bose for $40, but also have two that were only $4 each. (Pawn shops usually have them if you call around). Bluetooth or plug-in, they help a lot and all films sound better with one as the typical speakers in laptops don't have enough volume. The new HP I bought has much more volume than this 4 year-old HP.
    Mr. Hoffman had one amazing Mother. How many children were killed before they had a chance to show the world their talent? When Stalin killed the 'Intelligentsia' in Poland before the war and continued during and after WWII, he knew that people smarter than him would be hard to dominate. In our country (US), politicians import uneducated people rather than killing them, knowing they will keep them in office. Nothing has changed- it's still about power and control.

    I enjoyed listening to his beautiful, calm & gentle voice. It must have been frim learning ti quiet & patients as a child.. Being Australian and born in 1954 & not having the horrors of war around me.. it's incredible to hear what went on in Europe when you all live so close & you keep getting invaded by different countries.

    This is an unusual interview. He has little memory of it. Too bad his late mother wasn't interviewed before she died 6 years ago.
    The interviewer said too much during the little story he knew.
    And the Survivor has unique perspectives about the Soviet Union and Germany.
    He ended up marrying a Swedish woman. He really didn't embrace a Jewish identity. But given him moving a lot as a kid, his identify got fused.
    Still I am glad he survived. Every life matters.
