It changed my life once I started watching testimonies. They’re so moving, each story is different, every survivor experienced different. All people. I realize I have nothing to complain in life
So glad I'm not the only one who has watched hundreds of testimonies at this point. But I love it, get so upset and angry hearing what it done to them. I feel hearing their story is so important, each one unique in their own way. ❤
Wow, just finished watching the whole life history of Edith. It truly was like a "lake" was protecting her during the war. Edith has had a beautiful life, and I'm so happy that she went on to have children and grandchildren. Such a beautiful, strong, and smart woman. Always remember.
I beg to differ; she is credible to the extent that most people don't have the capacity to comprehend the nature and extent of her greatness or the evil she encountered. Her take on Trump resonates with many people out there who recognize the pathological nature of Trump and his brand of evil.
I'm sorry to be so negative but the audio mix is terrible! The interviewer is loud and there's so much echo it's unlistenable. The interviewee is far too quiet in comparison (it's the same with nearly all of theses Shoah Foundation interviews) It's so important these last few survivors are heard! It's too important to mess up like this!
The Best revenge is doing good; take Action against Evil, that all remains in our hands as global citizen and stewards of this world. The greater HUMANITY is woven in our conscience, thank you for such an inspiring interview Dr Edith Shapiro " History teaches us to learn from it."
Until I started watching these testimonies I did not really appreciate how strong the family ties were amongst the Jewish people, a fantastic family ethic helping each other
Since this video is a more philosophical persective, and as many commentstors I also have watched a few hundred by now, I can tell you a testimony I remember cleatly is a Survivor who clearly had an emotionally cold family, detached, and even though I listed to the testimony around 2019 I clearly remember how they described that when they realized that the Nazis were about to “liquidate”,a temporary ghetto they (I do not recall the gender) simply walked away from their mother and siblings and shared that they felt nothing at all, they were solely focused on surviving, and how they were, even then, aware that remaining with their family dimishished their chances of survival. Then they said they never thought of their mother or siblings. I recall thinking how morally despicable the Nazis were for placing the Jewish People of such psychofamilial distress and destruction. As I listened to that testimony I made a comscious effort to accept and not judge that Survivor, even though their words made my stop feeling empathy, I consciously tried not to judge. When I listen to these many testimonies, I try to catch myself if I start idealizing or distorting the full hetereogeneous diversity of ways of Existing as Survivors, during and after the Shoah. I believe we should view all Survivors for who they were, without idealisation of their Souls but accepting.
One of the best interviews of Shoah. Wonderful woman, wise and great storyteller. Interviewer is good and respectful, tho his audio is bit loud, but that didnt stop me listening.
Two months ago on my tablette on youtube, I felt an urge/a calling to look and follow the testimonies of the survivors of the Shoah documentaries. I am amazed by the stories of these survivors...I cried, I was so angry, i felt that the world let this killing go for so long. I am a Fench Canadian woman. I am working still at a young 50 years old 3 days à week at a beautiful hotel at the réception in Québec. We hire a lot of student interesting in the business in summer for replacement. I dont k ow why but for the last month I ask these youngs if they know about the holocauste and if not I talk about it . I feel that a lot of young PEOPLE are not aware. Sorry for my English.
Great people their parents, rid the family of terrifying stories that brought the Holocaust. Great courage in maintaining the mental and emotional stability of the family. Thank you for your testimony!
My Holocaust Survivor Grandfather figure told me once that he remembered his birth, he was a philosopher so I believe him. I was precocious and sensitive and remember so much from when I was 4 and 5, I thought I would lose my detailed childhood memories upon hitting my 40s but I still remember so much in great detail. So I relate when some Survivors recall childhood moments from before and during the war. I admire Mrs Shapiro for becoming a psychiatrist. I imagine becoming a philosopher, an ethicist also has the power to “dissect” Evil into its raw components, similarly to how Evil becomes less terrifying when analyzed from a scientific psychological or psychiatry perspective.
Incredible woman. Unforgivably bad interviewer and what is going on with his sound? Is he in a cave somewhere in a different country doing his laundry? Sounds like he's reading the newspaper in a cave and throwing out random questions as an afterthought. Would you like to know about the bathrooms at the factory or where the glass in the windows came from? Geez. Anyway, Ms. Shapiro is wonderful. I'm just completely flummoxed that this person was allowed to interview anyone let alone this special woman. Did he wander in from the street and get tangled in the curtains?
even though it is a different interview considering most of them are about death camps or similar I loved this beautiful lady, her story and the story of all her family. more than 5 hours? Did not even realize it was so long!!!! I only felt sorry for her that did not stop when she got hiccups, she is so well educated she did not want to interrupt I think!!!! I know I should go and have help solving my childless and my relation with my parents. If I was to live close today I thought She would be the only Dr. I would see and talk to....
She looks great for her age, My appreciations for all survivors, all so far which I have watched ,they looking great, and they have a very good opinion, on the other people they say all the time all Germens are not the same.
Interviewers gets so frustrated if the person does make not much comment about religious questions. They keep going on and on about asking religion related questions, this lady particularly comes from educated secular background not into religion family, whats wrong with that?
The term "Holocaust" was only coined in the 1960s. Before that, the Holocaust was known as the Shoah, which is the Hebrew word for catastrophe or calamity
Esse entrevistador atrapalha o raciocínio e a sequencia com que a bravo senhora conta sua História. Deveria interromper menos, escutar mais. Ela contava sobre as falsas identidades, sobre o homem que deveria levá-las e esse cara vem com perguntas sobre nomes e soletraçôes, interrompendo a narrativa.
What a pity. Such a poorly organized interview of this remarkable woman. Quite apart from the problems with sound, the interviewer was clearly ill prepared and really had no idea what he was doing., thus turning this interview into a long drawn out bore.
I thank God to hear the holocaust survivors, they are truly saved by miracles to tell their story, yes indeed all people were not the same. Great what I have learned is that all people are created by God every one of us are humans . be it white or black skin , be it women or man ,we have to respect and love one another. ethnic has to be mentioned but not use full to remove one another and fight one another ,one day it will back fire, no one is stronger than others it is a matter of time.
They raped and pillaged too and oppressed Europe with the iron curtain for decades. Had America and Britain and Canadian other allies not gotten involved Stalin would have lost and look at the gulags and starving Ukraine they did too.
Investing in crypto now, with Elon musk should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.
Wow😲 I know him and I have also been trading with him, he's such an amazing man with good skills keeps me happy all week knowing I earn 15thousand extra income trading with him.
It changed my life once I started watching testimonies. They’re so moving, each story is different, every survivor experienced different. All people. I realize I have nothing to complain in life
Thank you for watching and yes we should be humble
So glad I'm not the only one who has watched hundreds of testimonies at this point. But I love it, get so upset and angry hearing what it done to them. I feel hearing their story is so important, each one unique in their own way. ❤
@@tashyole149 I am so glad that I am not the only one !
It's life changing. I'm working my way through all of them.
I want to learn more too@@whisperingpoet4352
All the survivors are so classy. They all have such all level of class missing in today's world. I admire it. They come from different times
They usually come from middle or upper class families, nevertheless those old times people had a lot of good manners and pleasantness.
They are also such Sweet Kind people even after All they have been through ❤

Yes, couldn't agree more.
@@endeavouringit. I agree.
Totally
Totally agree!
It was done in 2020 during the Pandemic. The interviewer was in California and the subject in New York.

What a lovely woman. I dont know how survivors lived thru the horrific experiences without staying bitter about it for a lifetime.
It's heartbreaking when you hear what a beautiful life Edith had and was taken away from her. So sad. Always remember.
Amazing Human being. just amazed at the story of every survivor.

Such a classy and down to earth woman. Thank you for sharing this interview with us

Thankyou Shoah Foundation! 🙂

I love this woman! God bless her. XXOO
Great people their parents, rid the family of terrifying stories that brought the Holocaust. Great courage in maintaining the mental and emotional stability of the family. Thank you for your testimony!
I’m stunned. I can’t remember much of anything when I was four.
My Holocaust Survivor Grandfather figure told me once that he remembered his birth, he was a philosopher so I believe him. I was precocious and sensitive and remember so much from when I was 4 and 5, I thought I would lose my detailed childhood memories upon hitting my 40s but I still remember so much in great detail.

I love these testimonies! I thought the interviewer led this lady down many rabbit trails but they finally got there!
Such magnificent people with, horrific truths 😊
Wonderful testimony.
Particularly the last minutes.
Never forgive never forget.
Incredible woman. Unforgivably bad interviewer and what is going on with his sound? Is he in a cave somewhere in a different country doing his laundry?

😂😂😂
WOW ! She is such a smart and beautiful Lady ! :)
wish shed been given headphones ;((
even though it is a different interview considering most of them are about death camps or similar I loved this beautiful lady, her story and the story of all her family. more than 5 hours?

Skip the first 1 and 1/2 hours before it gets more compelling
Moving story until she got into politics at the end but I blame the interviewer for bring it up. I honor her bravery.
How unprofessional to have phone ringing while doing an interview on a very serious subject. Clean up your act please.
I was born on your birthday in 1957 in Wrocław Poland
She looks great for her age, My appreciations for all survivors, all so far which I have watched ,they looking great, and they have a very good opinion, on the other people they say all the time all Germens are not the same.
The voice of the interviewier is not tolérable.
Interviewers gets so frustrated if the person does make not much comment about religious questions. They keep going on and on about asking religion related questions, this lady particularly comes from educated secular background not into religion family, whats wrong with that?
I found the interviewer very off putting
yep I agree. sounds devoid of empathy. Need to be gentle and respectful of how amazing this woman is to share this with us.
What did she mean by peppering the
House
That audio can be cleaned with today's tech.
Is there a way to choose a testimonial on the Shoah site?
Try the longest ones first- much more info on them. I don't know of any recap index.
USC Shoah. What does this stand for ? You should always explain
Sho'ah= catastrophy or abomination.
USC = University of Southern California :)
The term "Holocaust" was only coined in the 1960s. Before that, the Holocaust was known as the Shoah, which is the Hebrew word for catastrophe or calamity
sharp as a whip.
She a sweet lady❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Audio is terrible. I stopped watching.
audio from l.a. is terrible, but i didnt sop watching.my greatest respect to mrs.shapiro.
audio from l.a. is horrible, can you fix this? it reminds me of george orwells 1984.
Couldn’t see photos she held up angle was bad
Cute...she wanted to check her hair and lips. 😂
Did she ever meet Jesus
The saviour!
You should watch,: "God on trial" true story. The answer will surprise you.

I wonder if she is related to Ben Shapiro?
What a pity. Such a poorly organized interview of this remarkable woman. Quite apart from the problems with sound, the interviewer was clearly ill prepared and really had no idea what he was doing., thus turning this interview into a long drawn out bore.
Amazing women , awful sound

How harsh of you!!!!
They raped and pillaged too and oppressed Europe with the iron curtain for decades. Had America and Britain and Canadian other allies not gotten involved Stalin would have lost and look at the gulags and starving Ukraine they did too.
True. I want to thank the russians for not having to speak now german in a 1000 years Reich.
what a boring interview
Investing in crypto now, with Elon musk should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.
Wow😲 I know him and I have also been trading with him, he's such an amazing man with good skills keeps me happy all week knowing I earn 15thousand extra income trading with him.

This isn’t a great way to interview this lovely lady. It sounds like the interviewer is in a tunnel.
Did she visit Netanyahu in Israel, you can't get more evil than that guy?
