A neighbor of my father who is now in her early 90s was in Auswitch as a child and still remembers her mother being killed. She is always kind and forgiving. She was a twin from Denmark. I will never know how she stayed saine.
At my first job there was an older man there who I never once heard speak. When I questioned someone about this I was told that he was a member of 63 Anti-Tank Regiment, Royal Artillery and was one of the first British Soldiers to enter Belsen.
I was lucky enough to spend time with and listen to a Ausutwittz survivor in the 6th grade. Seeing how entranced I was she took me aside & told me to never look away from what they did. I've watched every reel, video, & picture taken of what these devils did! I'll always remember her. I can still see her beautiful face.
I remember Demjanjuk in the 80s. US actually deported him to Israel to stand trail for war crimes against jews. Soviets had evidence he was not the man Israel and US thought he was. But the Soviets waited... I remember watching witness after witness, 5 total, seething with anger and hate, fingers pointing at Demjanjuk, claiming beyond any doubt whatsoever he was the person who committed the crimes. After the expected guilty verdict and sentence of death was pronounced, the Soviets then released the information they had which proved Demjanjuk was not the person in question.
I've tried. Watch,listen,never shy away---- I get physically sick,I really do,threw up after watching a history doc .my dad talked bout marching in and seeing live skeletons by the hundreds....

That is an incredible and moving story. I am the grandchild of a Holocaust survivor. Thank you!
that sounds pathological
I also knew an Auschwitz survivor. I’ve never forgotten her stories. None of us should ever forget how depraved society can get.
Nor should we fail to be afraid as we see so many nations moving further to the Right.
