- Henry Weil heard drums and marching well before catching sight of the German troops thundering down the street in front of his apartment in 1938 Vienna. At first, young Henry thought this was an occasion for celebration, but then, he turned from the window and saw his mother crying.
Over the next year, the Weils were forced from their apartment, while Henry’s father struggled to secure paperwork to get the family out of Vienna.
Watch to learn how Henry and his parents managed to outrun mounting danger for Jews in Europe and evade German U-boats while crossing the Atlantic.
Hear Holocaust survivor Henry Weil’s experiences in his own words recorded on June 21, 2023. 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. - บันเทิง
As the grandchild of a Holocaust survivor who sadly died when I was only 12, I watch and listen to as many first-person accounts as possible. Thank you for your courage and willingness to share, Mr. Weil.

Thank you Mr Weil, you’re family was very lucky and lucky again with the boat! These testimonies are so important.🙏🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
God bless you my dear friend. I’m glad you came to USA.
We love you!
Wonderful to hear of his story. God bless !
Thank you very much, Sir, for your most interesting testimony. Greetings from New Zealand.
May you live to 120 and continue to testify in good health
You are such a kind empathetic interviewer Mr Benson. I hope you also train others to be the same.
My heart breaks every time I hear survivor interviews. 💔 I'm so glad they survived.
Thank you. I couldn't listen live though I will later.
My dad's first name is Karlheinz, born the same year, just two months later than Heinz/ Henry Weil - different life story, heavily influenced by growing up near the Western front with parents being threatened throughout those years. Just ordinary citizens. Till this day, we talk again and again about all the atrocities and what /how to learn from it. The same weekly with my Polish friend. Just back from seeing Lodz and Warsaw. We cannot come to terms with it. We ought not. That's the responsibilites of those alive today. Thanks so much to Mr. Weil for telling his story.
born 1941 in Iowa, USA. So grateful my great grandparents left Germany before
World War I so that I did not have to experience the holocaust. I am fascinated by all the accounts.
Thank you
Each time I see this it helps me to realize how cruel people can be in the name of racial or religious differences. I will be going to the Dominican Republic in two weeks While there I will be giving out clothing and shoes to poor children irregardless of whether they are Dominican🎉 or Haitian. We are all on this earth together and should help each other. I have two large boxes to ship down there loaded with clothing for my neighbors and their children I know that this has nothing to do with what happened in Germany ; but my point is that we all must look at the good in each person and not his or her religious background or racial makeup.
Not all Germans were murderers or killers.please take note of that.once is was discovered a German was not loyal to Hitler..the whole family was thrown in a concentration camp
Thank you for your good deeds
Wonderful of you
Thank you for making the stories we hear more personal. I pray people will realize these stories are real and they happened to real people just like us. I'm so happy you and your parents escaped and had a good life. God bless you.

Hello I am from Holland a born 1941 girl
Thank you both for once again making the Jewish people such an important part of today's history
Gods people...noting the most of them said they weren't religious or not really religious...see what God did to His people once they start breaking the Laws
Was any compensation given to survivors after the war because of the loss of monetary as well as household furnishings?
I also would like to know as they left everything.same in south africa..if you are white you are dead...the government is stinking rich stealing...cholera is rife as the ministers stole the money for smart cars and houses instead of repears.. the roads are full of holes...the money went to that government ministers bank account to fix it.they kill white farmers..pour petrol over them abd burn them alive..next time you want to give money to the black people here make sure the hungry and poor get it...not government
Depending on where you are from yed
Maria von Trapp said the Austrians dod not welcome the Anschluss. It was forced
there are mixed reports.
My question is how many non Jewish people survived the camps?
Yes to the person that asked Germany did give money to all survivors a pension for life. I came to the USA in 1957 and being born in Holland that country also pays to survivors love living in the U S A but sadly touch hate now against the Jews
