I am so glad these brave people have told their stories. We Wil Never Forget!

[@fionablaikie6422]

What a wonderful lady. Such an amazing memory. Speaks so well - takes after her mother probably. Thank you.

[@freespeechforall1069]

Thank you for telling your story and although it must have been very difficult reliving the horrors it is very much appreciated. Once again thank you.

[@kikcta]

great testimony

[@lizgichora6472]

Thank you for sharing your story with us.

The women worked for Hugo boss making German uniforms. Hugo Ferdinand Boss (8 July 1885 - 9 August 1948) was a German fashion designer and businessman. He was the founder of the clothing company Hugo Boss. He was an active member of the Nazi Party as early as 1931 and remained loyal to the Nazi German ideology throughout the duration of the party's existence.

Crazy how this aspect gets swept under the rug...
Good observation.

Wouldn't touch HugoBoss with a barge poll.......

[@chrislawrence3964]

@@MrPaultopp I agree with you. Didn't know about Hugo Boss involvement until I visited Auschwitz a few years ago.

[@sibert1974]

Beautiful articulate lady with a lovely voice and accent.

[@cindyhalpern3187]

This interviewer needed to let the Survivor speak. She interrupted the narrative too much.

[@susangrote3633]

Wonderful lady!

[@cecilialiebenfelss8827]

Thanks a lot.God’s Blessings to you!

[@annlynnhaslam7801]

Thank you so much for telling us about your life during the war❤...

[@murielleyoung5542]

We appreciate your work and ministry to sensitize us as to how horrible life under the Nazis was. Through you and others we must learn important lessons of the damage done through hate and apathy. We must stand up for righteousness. Thank you. I have such love and respect for Jewish people. May God bless you and your family richly.

[@martaranson5199]

The interviewers of these testimonies are appalling they don’t listen properly which makes an already diificult experience more painful

[@feicobrink]

The goal of these interviews is to register these stories for future generations. It is not about the qualities of the interviewer. The lady was very talkative and did not need an interviewer to share her story.

[@soft_serve_666]

The only important part of any of these testimonies is that they are documented and heard. They're also asking important questions. How do you know if they are "listening properly" or not?

[@janetblanc7658]

So many people make this comment but I really don't agree. The interviewers have to take detailed accounts of these stories so they need to keep bringing the conversation back on track.

[@ailinlp6603]

The interviewer is terrible, she keeps asking the same questions, and it feels more like an interrogation than an interview.

[@martaranson5199]

Thank you for your testimony it must have been so painful for you. My spiritual family of Jehovah’s Witnrsses also suffered so badly I pray that your life after the war was happy and fulfilling love to you. And your family xx

[@leedavis1949]

On some of the testimonies on here their mentioned. Little snips here and there. There's one that mentions being in hiding for a period of time with a JW family.

[@loonylinda]

what a lovely lady

[@cecilialiebenfelss8827]

A very Special Lady a Survivor has been very brave person.

[@feicobrink]

Did the polish people ever come to terms with their heinous anti-semitism after the war?????

[@SusuSu-lo4rs]

very good question
i hope that hate generation has died out

[@charlottecccrochet8831]

No they did not.

[@Ana-sk4wx]

No

[@janetblanc7658]

I don't blame this lovely lady for preferring the company of Jewish people. We non-Jewish let her down completely by humilation, rejection and abject cruelty. May she be blessed.

[@pamneff7541]

Bravo

[@RAMeyer-uc9ce]

I missed what happened to her parents, could someone tell me?
