  • For Frank Liebermann, recess was the scariest time of the day. He began attending German public school in 1935 when he was about six years old-two years after his school began separating Jewish and non-Jewish students into different classrooms. Nazi propaganda effectively convinced his Gentile peers that Jewish students were dangerous and an easy target for harassment. Frank and his Jewish classmates were dismissed five minutes early so they could rush home to avoid antisemitic attacks, but during recess, there was no protection.
    Hear Holocaust survivor Frank’s experiences in his own words recorded on November 17, 2021. First Person is a monthly hour-long discussion featuring a live interview between journalist Bill Benson and a survivor and including questions from the audience, available on the Museum’s TH-cam channel.

    As difficult as these stories are to hear, they are important for people to learn about so that such horrors should never again be perpetrated against any people or groups of people. Thank you for so bravely sharing your personal stories.

    His family just made it out of Germany before Hitler invaded Poland. I think lot of people today think "Why didn't Jewish people leave". You can see how difficult it is to do that unless one had some kind of money to do it.

    So sorry to hear your testimony and the sadness of all your family. Your father did a wonderful gift and worked hard getting you your freedom.
    So tragic about your grandparents and relatives. What a sad, sorrowful time for all of
    Jews. Antisemitism is still a major problem. Glad you have spent your life in the USA.

      I am disgusted that hateful antisemitism is coming back so intensely in places. I don't care what your opinion is of Israel, ordinary Jews don't deserve to be attacked for stuff that many of them have no involvement in anyway. Despicable what some are starting to do to those people again.

      @@elisabethdakak878 To me, antisemitism has always made little to no sense. Many Jews have nothing to do with Israel's occasionally controversial actions, most of the first Christians were Jews, and no they don't control all of the financial industry (even if some of them do have big power in it). Virtually none of the antisemitic arguments hold up. Then again, ethnic hatred is often illogical.

    He should count himself blessed! He never had to go through the horrors of camps, because his family had money! So many didn’t have any opportunity to leave because they had no money! Many Christians gave up their lives also to save the Jewish people! It’s sad that money can buy freedom while those without have to suffer

      It is not correct to confront the question with another question. If you have an answer to my question, answer it ... and if not, say I do not know, and I will respect that very much and answer your question.

      I do not know if I understand your question but I can tell you that I do not like Islam. We cannot stop people from disliking something.
      I think it is foolish to deny a holocaust. I am not one hundred years old, but in my days, I never met a denier, never. While in Germany, I met someone who was a Gestapo. He was not a denier. We live in times where we praise the perpetrators, and demonize the victims. It is awful! In Europe, I knew some people who had a number tattooed on their arms.
      The Jewish genocide was the largest, and widespread in Europe. By the mufti of Jerusalem was siding the Nazis.

      Many people discuss historical events without any punishment even if they are not right but anyone who admit that holocaust happened without all these exaggerate is punished ,, why ?! don't say it refers antisemitism , there's no relationship
      Hating Islam is a personal view may because of not understanding it well, my advice is listen to this sheikh debates and lectures may you understand Islam
