      What's interesting to me is that her sorrow and expression of trauma has been less than some of the drama queens I come across in my life, who wail and obsess over the smallest of life's hurdles.

      Have you all watched the video where she met 4 neo nazis at auschwitz in the 90s? I loved her reaction to meeting them. She is not afraid of anything.
      I would love to meet her and listen to her for hours, but considering she is what 96 now, I doubt it will ever happen.
      She is a true inspiration along with all the others who lived through this. I couldn't even imagine. Honestly, I don't think I would have lasted.

    There is something special about Kitty - an amazing storyteller, super sharp, and strong/resourceful as hell. There’s a reason she was able to survive and is sitting there telling her story. What she and others endured is unfathomable - I’m in complete awe of her.

      In a documentary from 1979 she starts out by telling about herself as a child. And she describes herself as someone who despised rules, and someone who got in trouble a lot. And I was thinking - that is part of the reason why she was able to survive.

    I read Kitty's book 'Return to Auschwitz' when I was 14 and it changed my view on the world I live in. I was lucky enough to receive an email from Kitty around the 60th anniversary of Kitty's liberation. I have never aligned myself with any religion, although I was raised catholic, I denied religion at an early age and am an atheist. For me this has never been about religion - it has been about humanity hitting it's lowest point. Kitty has always been and will always be a huge inspiration to me for strength and respect and her words guided me through the years - never obey. I am a staunch liberal constantly fighting for equality, for everyone. And this is thanks to Kitty. And in her honour I will never forget the holocaust and I will always share her story - we MUST learn from our mistakes, we MUST NEVER forget how low, as a race, we went and how hard it has been to climb back up. When other 14 year olds were following Kurt Cobain and Ian Brown, I always stated my hero is Kitty Hart (which is how Kittys name appeared on my book cover of RTA). Please pay her the respect she has eared and deserves, listen to her story and be a better person. Never obey and never forget.

      All religions are ending on 'ismus' in German language. Of course National Socialism was a religion. It's believe is to believe in the power of will, in the power of strength, in the power of leadership and obedience, and in being a member of a superior race, which has to be defended by all means.

      Am not sure if she mentions it on this specific interview, but on later documentaries she's mentioned that her uncle in Birmingham who hospitalised her and her mother for a time, had forbid them to talk in his house about what they'd been through, because he didn't want his daughters to be frightened. So that made her insist that people will hear her story one day. If she remained silent that would shatter her sanity.

    • @LightningJackFlash
      @LightningJackFlash 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I think her young age while being there is the main factor why she didn't get that dehumanized as an adult would.... Ofcourse those atrocities that were going on there, and which I can't even imagine, are just unthinkable to me and this is just... They were just pure evil whoever went through it, whether a young person or an adult. I can't even describe those things that happened there in words, "atrocities" seem too weak for description for that.... It just can't get to me... As I watch her it seems to me she is very glad to have opportunity/opportunities to speak about what she had seen and has been through. The sense of reveal just comes out of her...

    This woman is extraordinary. I have watched different documentaries she has described about her experience and how she survived throughout the concentration camp. It’s hard to hear it through her eyes and the horrific experiences where she has to detach herself from her surroundings and her senses. Without exercising the impossible, she would have not survived. So sad and so many mixed emotions stepping into her life and how her happy family tides and traditions were separated and shattered.

It's incredibly brave to tell her story in such detail, and a very important testimony of what happened in the Holocaust. It's so important that this subject is taught in school. This subject must never be forgotten, it would be a disgrace to the millions of innocent people who have their lives stolen from them. Look at today's teenagers. Mostly, they are disrespectful, rude, spoilt little nit-whits who are so incredibly ungrateful for the life they have. It's awful. In closing, Kitty is quite an extraordinary person.

It was such a powerful personal account it made a lasting impression on me, so much so I remembered her name. What strength of character this lady has. To be able to recall such a horrific account without a complete breakdown. I cannot believe there are people who are still denier's that this happened - I have one in my family!!!

      And I hated when she would keep inturuptting Kitty and then you can hear the interviewer get a frustrated tone and try to speak over her. She would ask Kitty a question and when kitty didn't answer in the way the interviewer met, rather than say "oh I'm sorry I meant x" she would instead cut her off and speak louder than her until she was on the same page. It filled me with anxiety and I found it so rude. There are kinder ways to go about it.
      Additionally, in response to the commentor who said she was just trying to be precise, yes in some cases. There was very little of what Kitty said that wasn't clear or easily understood. Few things needed clarification but the interviewer often asked completely unintelligible questions such as your comment. This might be the interviewer that annoyed me most. After what this woman has been through the least they could do is let her finish her sentence before redirecting the conversation.

      About being a President of the USA, there are conditions to becoming a President that the population is oblivious of. The Presidents of America have all come from one family; the Howard family,a President or leader of any nation must be the descendant of an actual king, they must also be a 33° Freemason along with being Catholic (whether closeted or openly), they submit themselves as puppets to the Roman Catholic papacy (Antichrist, the system of popery that thinks to put a man in the place of God). If you fulfill these requirements you too can become a President of the USA. Also, as a puppet of the papacy they worship Lucifer and his demons, in ways that, if known, would cause your mind to break and you would need to be institutionalized.
