Mr. Baum was a fantastic interview. He was so poised, so interesting and dignified. He even displayed a wonderfully understated sense of humor. I am so glad he and his group of friends supported each other and survived the camps. I dont know if he is still with us but his testimony in this Shoah video is an invaluable memoir forever.
A lovely man who gave a wonderful testimony. I’m just sorry that he wasn’t able to have a warm relationship with his father. His father missed so much and would have been so proud of him. God bless you, sir.
So glad this came up again on TH-cam. The current generation needs to hear this. The interviewer also did a great job- so often I’ve seen complaints of the interviewers but she did great and no complaints on any comments! Mr Baum was outstanding.
I cried so much watching this. what a wonderful man. bless his soul. he seemed like a model father.what a sweetheart. this why I JUST can't warm up to Germany. even though they're good about their history- I just can't forgive them...Thanks Rozzi. Great journalism.
mr Kurt Baum, r.i.p. i hear what you are saying im 13 and live in tel aviv. i did not know what the germans nazis did to us. i will make sure your video will live for as long as i do
This is truly a beautiful man with a heart of gold! I can only imagine what it must have been like for his little brother to have been shot like this!!!! Blessings and much love and prayers for peace and comfort to our dear Chosen ones. ❤❤❤❤❤ from USA 🤗 and 😘
I like his Swabian dialect, after all these years still has the accent. I am originally Swabian from the same area near Stuttgart. Thanks for his testimony of how evil people can be.
Some terrible ordeal this gentleman had to go through and is a real survivor. Luck was a bit on his side too. Stories like these give you a reason to keep going in this chaotic world.
Such low views no wonder were in such a state today. I'm praying we don't go back to war 💕 thank you for sharing such a beautiful man. WWII also affected my father who was in WWII from USA war changes to many amazing intelligent people please teach your children I did and he's doing amazing
Wonderful testimony from this man, so thoughtful and articulate. He gave such rich detail with a streak of dignity and humor. So much respect for him. But this interviewer was not only ineffectual as she didnt ask questions when it would have been critical to do so, and its clear he was receptive and would have answered, but also was either choking on her spit or sucking on candy in the background and it was so distracting. Terrible interviewer, fantastic man.
@@andymanser1 No book that I know of. But we had a few laughs that he shared his name with a famous opera singer - my dad even went out and bought records by the "other" Kurt Baum.
We lost my dad in August 2000. I can thankfully tell you that he had a wonderful life once he reached the U.S. after the war. In his later years he became quite active in public speaking, with the message "Never Forget." I am proud to be his son, Peter.
Peter loved met your dad. Sincere kind hearted man wise in his teachings. Thank you for reply and contribution I watched video opened up my eyes i am sure looking down on you all with smile many thanks replying quite chuffed hope kept records from your dad listen to TV kindest regards future Andy
@@finylvinyl66 Dear Peter, your father touched me with his warmth and intelligence and the song about Life is Worth Living. And his humor and smile, just amazing. He reminded me of my grandfather that was taken by the Germans for forced labour in Germany and he was really sick when he came back after liberation. But he was so thankful my grandmother and mother that was very little survived the hungerwinter in The Hague. I asked mainly my aunt and grandmother about the war and they told me the most horrible things but I wanted to know and never forgot it. Greetings from the Netherlands.
@@finylvinyl66 my husband and I were stationed in Stuttgart in Ludwigsburg. While there we made a point of going to Auschwitz’s and Krakow because we wanted to bare witness to that peace of history. Listening to your father took me back to seeing some of the places he spoke about. I appreciate your father sharing his story. It is important that everyone listen to these testimonies so we can try to make better choices in how we deal with our fellow man. I wish your family many blessings and I thank God for survivors like your father. May he rest in Heavenly peace.
@Peter Baum Having watched countless of these testimonies, I regard each survivor as a friend. There's something special about them. Your father's humour makes this one a real treat.

It seems he retained the philosophy of high culture throughout his life.
A lovely man who gave a wonderful testimony. I’m just sorry that he wasn’t able to have a warm relationship with his father. His father missed so much and would have been so proud of him. God bless you, sir.
What a wonderful intelligent and pleasant man. And such a warm smile and humor.
He touched my hart and reminded me how beautiful life is.

Life lesson! Thank you, Mr. Baum. God bless you wherever you are 🙏🙏🙏
an unbelievable detailed account of mr baum testimony which is so important for future generations - never again
Such an amazing life story. Thank you for sharing and God bless.

So eloquent and composed. God bless. I'm half way his testimony and wondering the name of the 'idealist' austriac actor?
I haven't watched the video to the point where he said that, but I think it's reasonable to assume that this is a reference to Hitler.
Peter Strum or Straum it sounds like to me
@@JuliaTurner432 Correct. My parents Kurt and Margot named me after Mr. Sturm.

All priceless testimony's teacher your children young and use these all of them yough
SALUTE Kurt- a true survivor. I doubt if people today could last like he did. Everyone is so soft, more into having everything handed to them.
Lovely guy
The volume is so low I am unable to listen

Is this the famous operatic tenor Kurt Baum?
jacob lahr No. That Kurt Baum was born in Prague in 1908, so he was older than this gentleman.
this guy has book on amazon

Thank you peter kind reply
@@andymanser1 💕 oh thanks I definitely want to read everything!!
Kutr, you an extraordinary man, Is it just me or does anyone find this unbearable to watch?
Wonder still alive

Don't like the way he dismissed British POWs as having,as it were "an easy ride". Unwarranted.
He said comparatively.
