- Ruth Elenberg Eisenberg remembers playing with dolls and enjoying special attention as the youngest of six children. Then, in the summer of 1941, German authorities invaded and began targeting Jews in Ruth’s hometown in Poland. During one round up by the Nazis in 1942, Ruth hid with her mother in a barrel used to store feed for horses. “We covered ourselves, and we didn’t breathe. … We heard them marching back and forth, back and forth.”
Watch to learn how Ruth continued to outrun danger for nearly two more years, and discover if she ever saw the rest of their family again.
Submit a question for Ruth during the live discussion on Wednesday, April 17 at 1 p.m. ET by signing into your TH-cam or Gmail account.
First Person is a monthly, hour-long discussion with a Holocaust survivor that is made possible through generous support from the Louis Franklin Smith Foundation.

As a very young girl on visiting my grandparents there would often be friends of my grandparents visiting. They would have these numbers tattooed on their arms… I instinctively knew not to talk about them but I knew it was evil. Thank you for sharing your powerful story.
It is beyond my comprehension that human beings could be treated as they were. Man's inhumanity to man. God bless you Ruth

Miriam from Brooklyn thank you for sharing
My parents were holocaust survivors from Poland
Watching in Kentucky.
Sadly, there have been some swastikas drawn in bathrooms and on chairs at the local school. Administrators have responded by inviting a Survivor to come to talk to the children and tell them that this did happen and that it is not a joke or something to be laughed at. We can’t let this happen again.
I am so sorry for your pain
Did a match-maker pick Ruth’s, her sister’s, and brother’s spouses for them?
What a horrid thing to live through. I th9nk i had toxic life, but i cant imagine

Watching from India and this is such a terrifying experience I wonder how human being can be so evil and dangerous than wild animals , our hearts and our thoughts are evil,so does the Bible truly exposes the true nature of man kind
