Auschwitz 75: Listeners brand this the "greatest ever" James O'Brien call

- This Jewish survivor's story left James O'Brien lost for words - watch the call listeners have said was the greatest he'd ever taken.
Lily from Kensington is a survivor as she and her mother were saved during the German occupation of Poland by a German civil servant. Her and her mother were the only survivors of her family as sadly she had lost her brother and her father.
Lily shared how she managed to escape from the ghetto at 11 years old to prevent her mother having to return after a day of slave labour; in mid November in thick snow Lily was wearing a cardigan, pyjamas and slippers, and the female civil servant at her mother's work took pity on them both and took them in.
A Greek Catholic archbishop then hid the pair in the convent and throughout the war was responsible for saving the lives of 150 Jewish orphans.
She told James she wanted to honour the "extraordinary ordinary people" that helped to save lives such as "giving a tiny piece of bread to a child."
"People like that should be glorified but there is no such medal...these people deserve everything," Lily said, however those people do not want praise and "fought with their heart."

Decided to google this woman, truns out she has just beaten a pretty severe case of covid. A true survivor
How can I google her? Lily?
@@americase7en Lily ebert, there's a daily mail article titled "Auschwitz survivor, 97, celebrates her first walk outside in a month after making a 'miraculous recovery' from Covid-19"
@@joskevermeulen5590 Thanks so much!
Wow! Thanks for letting us know!
@@joskevermeulen5590 this lady says she was not in a camp lily ebert article claims she was in auschwitz cant be the same woman can it?
*"They're the heroes of the war...they didn't fight with weapons, they fought with their hearts."*
I'm floored.
Me as well, in absolute floods every time I hear this
my grandmather did hide a jewish couple in the south of France in 1941 et 1942. When i told her she was a hero she just said 'Oh they were my friends and they would have done the same thing for me"... she was the salt of the earth and I miss her so much
Sounds like an amazing lady. Thanks goodness for people like her and their humanity in situations like that
'He who saves but one life saves the world entire'
Jewish proverb.
The very thought is terrifying. If she had been caught.....should have been awarded the Legion of Honour
May she be eternally blessed in loving memory.
A truly great human to be admired, I wonder if I would have had the courage to follow through on my beliefs, and the answer is, I don't know.
As a German i only can say that we never should forget, even if in a few years all witness are gone, we always need to make sure that this never will happen again!!!
Even if that was before my time, i always feel guilty when I hear people like her talking, but that makes me even more angry when I hear as many right-wing idiots as we hear again in nowadays
You have no need to feel guilty. As a German you are in a strong position to counteract the influence of those who wish to turn people away from this history and to help people to know the truth and to act on it. I know you may feel the guilt but try to turn it into strength to reach out to people.
It's not a political ideology, it's a spiritual condition. Alot of it is on the right, but it can be on the left as well. I agree with the previous comment. Take whatever guilt you feel and allow it to motivate you to do what is right. Reach out to people.
@@holygroove2 It's very scary watching the right and left start to get so far apart that they are looping around to meet at something like fascism.
@@burstcity3832 again, most of it is on the right. The sides are not equivalent by any means. Fascism and Nationalism comes from the right. Social consciousness and PC culture (wokeness) is from the left. Similar tactics, completely different outcomes and end games in my view.
@@holygroove2 I get that, but the woke brigade are starting to play very strong identity politics and punishing people from what they consider the same group as a person who offended them without even listening. Some of them are also becomming very militant in their calls to silence groups of people ideologically opposed to them, they want whole groups silenced and removed and that is getting close to the basis of fascism.
I understand the original direction of political travel that fascism came from and where the woke culture came from but I can see similarities in the objectives of both sides while they are operating in their own echo chambers and pushing themselves to the farthest extremes in a pious attempt to gain power for themselves. I also see a lot of the selfie culture of putting yourself in shot at all times playing into the sides.
Why anybody has clicked on the ‘thumbs down’ button is just beyond my understanding!
Massive respect to this lady caller.
Explanation of why I voted this down: all the plaudits she gave to O'Brien -- which seemed to be her main focus.
People downvote because of the name o'Brien
People down vote just for the sake of down voting. Horrible people.
@@cloudymccloud00 interesting that she likes Job and finds him empathetic. She had earned the right to judge a man's character and knows the difference because she had lived through so much. What a lovely lady.
@@williamsulman2646 in opposition to Lily who thinks otherwise
James o,brian is a decent honest bloke who listened to and gave this lady the time she needed and deserved.
Well this was most out of character!
Note to youtube - There are some videos, like this one, that should not be interrupted by advertising at all. What this lady is talking about is to important to be interrupted. Give the content the respect it deserves and disable the advertising please.
James O'Brien is so used to interrupting he has to stop himself interrupting her at points. Her story deserves respect, shut up and listen.
@@Malky24 the point about disabling advertising on this is spot on and your comment about JOB is irrelevant.
He didn't interrupt, the advertising did. I guess you dislike him, fair enough, go spam it somewhere more relevant.
🤬🤬🤬
@@Malky24 Yeah, I know what you meeean but... O'Brien is utterly enraptured by Lilly and what she is saying.. hardly ever seen him so quiet :P
Oh my goodness he's in actual TEARS at a couple of points.. (as was I!) he's also in charge of a radio show so, kind of obliged to every now and then do a 'noddy' which in the world of radio means saying a word or two - not really interrupting just scene-setting. I think he handled that absolutely brilliantly. And he really DID listen. Bless 'er..
If I could I would give this comment more likes. We need some decency.
Sending love from an African American in the US who's starved of seeing genuine kindness and humanity in the face of such dark times. This brought me to tears. I hope there's a full interview in the near future. I'd love to hear everything she has to say.
This call was the best thing I've heard in a very long time. This woman has restored my faith in humanity and given me the light of hope to walk the long road ahead. I'm so grateful that she made that call.
Beautifully phrased, exactly my heart. Thank you
There is something beyond her words. I broke down in tears. May I be a better person.
A Step Beyond Healing maybe a sanctimonious person. “Oooooo look at me, I care”
@@ScottsOnTheRottenCotton are you being horrible or have I misread this somehow?
Scott Stir well, I think anyone who lived through what she did (the fear alone would be unimaginable,) who chooses to live in appreciation of those who helped her by putting themselves in grave danger, who dedicates her time to teaching young people about the helpers, is inspiring. She isn’t speaking of her victim hood but of the beauty of the human spirit and how one person can be a helper and make a difference. Beyond this, what is intimated is that love supersedes hate.
I am glad that you commented. I wonder are some people morally superior to others and if so, maybe she is, so then she wouldn’t be a sanctimonious person, right? Regardless of your thoughts on this point, secondly, I want to ask you in all sincerity, how does one convey their story without coming across as, “ooo look at me, I care?”
May you be a more informed person
@@astepbeyondhealing9772 I think you are already a better person. Certainly better than Scott. What an insensitive comment!
Lily! What an amazing lady you are! James you must see her and let her tell her story in full, help her get her book done. This must be put out there for the broader public and the future.
Wow. I'm crying tears of, hopefully, humility. What a moving, heartfelt interview. Bless you.
That lady is extraordinary, what a beautiful soul. There should be more of this testimony on the airwaves, lest we forget.
My grandmother was a concentration camp survivor. She lost her parents and most of her siblings. I feel privileged to have known her and honoured to share her bloodline. One day I really must write down everything she told me, so many people and their stories are lost to history. This lady reminds me of the way my grandmother spoke. I kick myself with how bored I got listening to her sometimes as it was the only thing she really spoke about but that was when I was younger and never thought I'd ever lose her. When I grew up, I took in everything she told me, I just wish I had the brains to record her.
Please write it down, as soon as you can. Imagine for your grandchildren, how valuable it will be to have this written account of what your grandmother told you. It will be valuable for the whole world. It is so important to have these oral records. Don't kick yourself for what you didn't do, make up for it by recording your memories now. One day, there will be people who will be so glad that you did.
Beautiful. Compassion, empathy and kindness of humans to other humans, especially in the face of potentially deadly consequences, always gets me. Amazing story from amazing lady ☮️
Our humanity is strongest when we open our hearts. Such a moving testimony.
To make JOB cry, you know she had an wonderful impact on him and the listeners.
Thank you from Poland.
What a beautiful, beautiful saintly person. She makes one want to be a better person, just listening to her.
Please, I really hope the interview with Lily can be made. What she has to say to remind us all of what is truly important is of utmost value.
It doesn’t even sound like real life. That’s absolutely amazing. She’s a gem to the world
Please James, can we all see this interview! What a wonderful woman x
People with no empathy, who never want to share, who never help others, who would turn refugees away at the border, who think they are hard done by when someone poorer and asks for just enough to live, those people..... will never have 00.000001% of the respect i have for this woman and the woman who took her in.
Don't forget the archbishop and the concentrated effort of monasteries, too :)
I have so much respect for this man
She remembers me of my grandma.
Of all the horror stories she told me, her compassion for the poor people (even the young, scared conscripts put in the horrible role of the would-be-perpetrators of warcrime) always shone through.
James motto certainly comes to mind.
Please, write down everything you remember that your grandmother told you, and keep it for your grandchildren, and for theirs. It will be of great value to them.
Poor James was SO wanting to jump in and have his say, he was just about jumping out of his skin, but happily for us he managed to keep himself under control and allowed this wonderful lady to tell her story. We've all seen the many hundreds of historical documentaries on this subject (WW2 was the best thing ever to happen to television) but it's so powerful to hear it from the lips of someone who was there.
So much for all the JOB haters who complain that he screens out the callers who really have something to say.
Goodonya, James.
When they have something valid to say James will ignore any rules which is commendable
I could hear this lady all day long she inspires me
I know, could listen for hours 😊
Moving personal testimony. Ordinary people make decisions that make a difference.
Beautiful Lily. Thankyou for reminding the world what truly matters x
Thank you both for this beautiful dialog and unexpected moment of education. James your shows are beyond reproach.
Belgian here. Wonderful call, heartwarming reaction by James.
Eloquent, deeply touching, self-effacing, wonderful person.
Touches my heart, hope we get to hear the full interview.
Such a positive person, i would love to see my children listen to her. We can learn so much from the survivors, and as a german i have to say: We have the obligation to learn and never forget it!
Meanwhile in the UK/Europe in 2021 ppl have open disdain for those who are dying trying to escape tyranny in places like Syria.
Upsets me deeply.
Help her write the book. It would be horrifying yet beautiful.
Sending a "Thank you" from the United States. Very touching call.
I am lost for words - that conversation is the most wonderful thing I have heard in years. Well done to both Lily and James. I am deffo gonna be sharing this!
Such an amazing call! I am sad I had not heard it before today. Bless this woman a thousand times over!
Thanks for giving this gentleman time. What a great man. His humanity is a lesson to us all.
What a wonderful lady.
Absolutely fantastic interview, what a great lady
Brilliant, sad, emotional, pride, empathy, historic, hart felt, horrific, kindness, without prejudice. The first time James O’Brien has been emotionally captivated.
It's all false he fully supports the Islamist labour party
You got me! I finally saw your heart is in the right place. BRAVO!
This woman's voice is absolutely right. I know exactly why I listen to James O'Brian.
Extraordinary, ordinary people, love that description. Awesome interview.
what a great person is lillie her depth in humanity after all the suffering is beyond comprehension i wish everyone has the basic..!!
This lady's story is a great example of how one person can change the world for one other person, and the impact that makes on the whole world.
Absolute legend of a lady !!!
JoB use your connections and help her write the book!!!!!! Amazing lady
Such a touching call. 🙏🙏🙏
Complaining about JOB when this caller is telling her horrendous story is truly sick 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
paul stanley complaining about people complaining to get likes is even sicker
What a marvellous person. I am lucky to have heard her story Thankyou
Would love to have a follow up

Lesson of the story... "Be the change that you want to see in the world. It starts with you!"
what an amazing episode! Mr O'Brien, you are a true credit to your profession,
Amazing, I really want to hear the rest of the story when she found the woman that saved her
I'm commenting for the algorithm. Because I have no words for the profound emotions this priceless woman stirs in me. Thank you
Lovely Lily c Blessings to her and all involved x
lovely to see that softness in your heart exposed Mr O'Brien....would love to hear the rest of her story....
@SCOTT UK you think?
@SCOTT UK seriously man, just look at what you just said. That is a really disappointing thing to think. I hope that you dont use this attitude for the other areas if your life.
Very emotional listen this, what a wonderful lady ❤️
Great call.
A truly beautiful lady. Her beauty shines out from her heart.
Advert in the middle of this amazing lady's story. Insensitive doesn't begin to describe it.
I felt exactly the same. Hitting the skip button wss the fsstest ever
I love this kind hearted man.I love his humanity
This conversation was one of the best on the show. I was nearly in tears at many points during this.
My daughter in law comes from a village in Poland. During WWII the whole village was taken away and put to work in factories as slaves. They came back after the war and many, many of them are still there. Poland is beautiful and her people are too.
Wow that was so real I think ive heard an angel thanks... wow so truthfully spoken.
Lucifer was an angel, allegedly
I'm a canadian that discovered James when his responses to Meghan Markle showed up in my suggested videos. I instantly loved his open-mindedness on issues, and his ability to challenge callers on their unwavering beliefs that are presumably not based on their broader knowledge of issues. Indeed this clip was quite beautiful - both the caller's ability to focus on telling the stories of ''the helpers'' and James response to her stories
What a wonderful woman. I hope she's still doing well.
What a beautiful person. It’s made me so emotional. I thank the lady for sharing her experience.
Much love from Essex 🙏🏻🥰
Can we read Lily’s story whole story please? What an amazing lady. Brilliant call James.
“They didn’t fight with weapons, they fought with their heart”. What a line, wow!
WOW💕. I love her, she is incredible and proves once again if we show humanity to others, it will pay it forward.
They didn't fight with weapons, they fought with their hearts,' brought on tears.
The world would be a better place, if all of us would take some time to listen to Lily‘s testimony...
What a lovely woman? and a clearly moved and kind James, there is still hope.
wow, what a lady, coming out of this horrible experience and not be angry for the rest of your life
After I heard this, I stayed up until 3 AM to rewatch The Lives of Others.
The things the Germans had to endure prior to, during, and after The War...
Yesterday was the last day of Black History month, my daughters teacher taught them about the holocaust, she was sad and in tears...
That would be an amazing interview.
She is just the sweetest! An amazingly brave and loving lady - thanks James for having her on, I could listen to her for ages 😁
To experience an horrific life and come through as a an example of a human being, must be the best lesson for mankind which is exasperated at the lack of humanity in the world around us.
First of all, this was a great call very powerful and heartbreaking and second I noticed a lot of people angry with James and every video gets a decent amount of views and it's full of people saying how much they dislike James, why watch something or listen something that makes you mad?, it's like intentionally abusing yourself.
First of all I'm a huge fan of James. Listening to someone you disagree with is very beneficial to ones enlightenment. If you listen only to those who echo your opinion, you will become more radicalised in your beliefs. I listen to Nick Ferrari every week day, not because I like him, in fact I disagree with almost all of his points. However, it is important to see the opposite side of the story to form a full and thoughtful opinion. There have been occasions when Nick has changed my mind on a topic.
Wow,that exchange brought me to tears,and I'm just a godless heathen pig.
being an atheist doesnt mean your less than any other person probably more than most
@@1man1bike1road i think he was joking tho lol
But as an atheist, thanks for sticking up for us, mate
I'm another heathen (atheist) who was moved to tears by this call.
Truly remarkable. Just shared.
Wow! What an amazing lady! I cried during that interview. Powerful woman. A legend ❤️❤️❤️
And I.
To be praised like James was by such a strong, empathic and wonderful lady can only be a humbling experience.
FIRST THEY CAME
By Martin Niemöller
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me.
Who are the 100+ people who disliked this, revolting people
@frenchie jones people who have researched real history and archival material probably
@@MarkJones-ji8fd nope. Brexiters, gammons, Tories and kippers don't do research.
"Doesnt theat make you cry?" Tears running down my face, nodding. Absolutely incredible call
I have just come across this, I listened to it 3 times, I will listen to it more. As sad and desperate as it is, it is also inspiring, more so than I would ever have imagined before listening to it.
Sometimes in the darkest night a light shines, bless you Lilly.
Even James knew not to interrupt this wonderful lady......beautiful call
Thank you James O'Brien and a big thank you to this wonderful lady
Lilly you’re our hope for the Future you’re heaven Sent
Thank You Lily, Thank You James. You are both wonderful human beings.
Been crying all along this storey thank you
There has to be a book before it’s too late and we lose her. Please anyone in publishing or with a connection to publishing or even better if you are a writer find Lily. Her story needs to be told to show us all why we’re here on earth.
This is the only JOB call I’ve listened to all the way through.
Well done this beautiful lady.
Well done JOB for being sound.
What a wonderful interview. 💖💖💖😍😍😍
My grandmother told me stories about the German-Soviet war front that would make Steven King sleep with the lights on.
@Diarmaid O'Riordan every third person that died in ww2 was a soviet was the saying.
Absolutely beautiful to listen too... amazing 👏
