This wonderful woman is the Author of "On Both Sides Of The Wall",which describes her experiences in Warsaw; inside and outside the ghetto during the Nazi reign. It is an important and compelling read. Written originally in Yiddish, it was published in 1948, but not translated into English until 1972. She died in the US in 2012 at the age of 90 years.. May her memory forever be a blessing.
Vladka"s book is well worth reading. A good part of the story is narrated here, but it helps to have read the book...I could not resist hearing and seeing her tell the story in person. What a gracious and competent person. An honor to meet such a soul.
Good for you, Patrick. Yes, we do. And you are doing your part to learn what you can. Be strong and of good courage.
God Bless her❤️❤️❤️
Her testimony is amazing. I really want to read her book
One of the most incredible and powerful statements ever made about the Holocaust especially about the Ghetto life was here in this interview. Vladka points out the resistance, the uprising , etc etc and says that one of the most important factors of ghetto life seldom if ever mentioned was the STRENGTH OF THE MOTHERS . My goodness does THAT ever thunder in my heart! Amazing that in all of these interviews THIS is the first time I have heard anyone mention the importance of the MOTHERS as a WHOLE rather than just their own individual mother.
WOW - such great courage and spirit from someone so young is remarkable. I sat and listened with such rapt attention. I am a German Jew - my mother was Jewish but my father was not, he was a Christian - but it made no difference to us - I loved my father so very much. I am the youngest child in my family and was very close to my father. I was born in Bavaria after the war - and we came to America in 1952 through a church organization that chose so many families to sponsor and we were one of the chosen families. GOD BLESS YOU VLADKA MEED - you are a true Mensch!!
Vladka Meed’s story is extraordinary. She was such a courageous young woman. I’m amazed at the strength and determination of these young resisters, despite the risks. So happy Vladka survived and was able to eloquently tell her story here and in her book “On Both Sides of the Wall.” A remarkable woman.
Always fantastic when Renee Firestone interviews!
Vladka Meed was born as Feigele Peltel on December 29, 1921 and passed away on Nov 21, 2012 of Alzheimer's. Vladka lived with her daughter in Paradise Arizona at age 90. She did marry Benjamin and they had 2 children a son Steven and daughter Anna. Both of her children became physicians. I could not find out when her husband passed away. She wrote several articles and books
Thank you.
an unbelievable account and testimony - what a great lady
Very intelligent articulate strong woman! Thankful she survived ! She was part of the underground, very interesting! Bravo!
This is not a typical account , tho all contain information of value . Ms. Meed was at the center of the resistance , which grew out of pre-war social groups , and these groups had slightly different outlooks and orientation. She was at the meetings where controversy raged - fight back or wait and hope for the best ? Resistance work was not respected by all factions in the ghetto . Rumours were the source of much information . Most fighters did not survive , and Ms . Meed was one of the last contacts with those who tried to fight and then escape , but who were finally trapped and eliminated . Her book is one of the best sources on what happened in Poland between 1939 and 1945 .
Thankyou wonderful 💓😇 🙏 brave lady
Renee firestone is one of the better interviewers or it seems so from past interviews I've seen her do. I hope her skills continue with this interview. I'm getting ready to watch it.
Renee Firestone is also a survivor and has a riveting testimony. Its wonderful that she was conducting some of the interviews!
She is a great interviewer indeed. Mrs. Firestone, you can tell, gets very into Vladka story on the ghetto uprising.
Her story was in the movie Uprising! I think Leeli Sobieski played her her character was a composit9of two people. Vladka and another woman fighter. I love her story❤
the part where she had the map in her shoe was portrayed by leelee sobieski in the uprising movie.
Yes it takes strength to survive difficult situations but there is a world of difference between using your strength to keep yourself and your family alive and risking your life to protect people you don't even know. They are in no way shape or form the same thing or even closely related.
So true, that takes real courage and generosity.
Hear hear.
Great story
RIP
So sad but true that the teaching of hate starts when people are young. They grow up being taught and believing to hate a certain race or religion. 😢
…may god grand her happiness……
Heard of her through her sister in law story.
PORQUE NO PONEN SUBTITULOS POR FAVOR
PLISSSSSS....
learn engrislish
Hear hear.
@@kaiserschnitselsr oh dear. What a negative attitude. Knowing angerlish doesn’t help the hard of hearing?
Every religion has its traditions but during the war circumcision identified the boys and men so easily.
I don't t think I ever want to visit Germany or Poland. Such hatred
As perguntas, como na maioria das vezes, confusas, repetitivas, evidenciando um despreparo total destes entrevistadores.
