    Rest in peace Linda Breder. May the world never forget. As a German immigrant to America in 1995, I am mortified, and at the same time, so thankful to learn, from you, what the darkest sides of humanity are capable of. We should never let hate of any sort fester in our hearts.

      When did she pass away? She went through so much, and it clearly still hurt her, but she raised a family and had successful businesses.

    Thank you Mrs Breder, these testimonies are so important. What I find a marvel is these people went on to have fulfilling lives. They worked so hard to make that life, earn and save money. Their children also seem to have good lives, study hard etc. no grizzles ( not in public anyway) and their attitudes are so admirable. Compare it to a lot of people these days, they have a melt down over a broken finger nail snd have to go on you tube to tell of their ‘trauma’ ( preferably with very little on) Thank you and blessings to you all 🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺

    there were way more successful escapes from Auschwitz - it's also documented. the most famous one of Witold Pilecki, a Polish captain and the one who actually created the resistance in Auschwitz. Read about him becasue this man is a true hero, who actually volunteered to be in Auschwitz, to create the resistance. and there were in fact many Poles in Auschwitz like this, which proves some of the things she said here are biased and wrong. Quite simply, all types of people are in all nations, depending on the individual.

      @zxy78267 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      You would be surprised at how many people laugh at what seems like inappropriate times. You have to understand what they were going through. And they were just young girls. For context, I was in the military, and basic training was not pleasant. Sometimes we'd laugh from a sort of stress overload, especially if we were exhausted. We'd discuss how we felt like we were cracking up, as in almost crazy, but we'd still laugh. Laughter can also be a way to avoid the horror that they were dealing with every minute of every day. They probably were on the edge of complete hysteria or a nervous breakdown. None of us will (hopefully) ever be in that position, so there's no way we can understand, but criticizing her for laughing isn't particularly fair.

    During all the video i steal thinking about that the father and her brothers was singing Shabbat song and so she is but her father keep hashing her "be silence" becaose in the orthofocs community males not sopouse to hear female singing becaose it stimulate them to fill forbidden erotic Fillings toard her. It makes me creizy, why the females punished like covering her heir, covering her body, not leading the males, not studing, not studing the law/ be rabbi, the females punished all their life to spend all their life at close at home poosh away from the pablic acts & life Only becaose the males easyly stimulated to erotic sins and the males have permition to do everything in pablic.
    Those desidions done by the males.
    The gender all over the world all over the history with the same DNA that cos the horrible crimes/things during the history.

    well, the lady surviver had two things wrong in her testimony, she said only Jewish women were tattooed, that’s not true, my family - my mom, her sister and parents were political prisoners of Auschwitz & were all tattooed. Mom just passed away three years ago, otherwise they were political prisoners, the parents were killed, and the two daughter survived, but the second thing this lady survivor says that is wrong is that the Polish political prisoners in Auschwitz were antisemites, and she gives example that they called a Jewish woman “Zydowka”which she says means dirty Jew, & that’s not true at all, “Zydowka” means Jewish Woman, nothing else, I know Polish language fluently I was born there and left when I was 20 so I can testify
