First Person with Ruth Kohn, March 22, 2018

Through the First Person program, Holocaust survivors have the opportunity to share their remarkable personal stories of hope, tragedy, and survival with thousands of visitors at the Museum. This program was recorded March 22, 2018. It features Ruth Kohn, who was born into an observant Orthodox family in Preussisch Friedland, Germany (present day Poland) on August 23, 1927. Towards the end of 1940, Ruth’s family received a letter from Ruth’s uncle, Bruno Kirstein, who had secured passage to the Dominican Republic and helped Ruth and her family acquire visas to join him. After weeks of travel, Ruth and her family arrived in the Dominican Republic on December 7, 1941, the day Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japan.

Thank you so much for sharing with me an infamous fragment of the Hitler's Nazi horrendous regimen, via this interview
It must be a very sad odyssey to recount it.
The crimes and cruelties committed against my sons and daughters, my fathers and mothers, my brothers and sisters hurt me deeply, regardless their ethnicity and nationality.
In Isaiah 2: 4, Jehovah God, the Creator and Source of life, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, promises:
"He will be judge among the nations and will settle matters in relation to many peoples. They will turn their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. The nations will no longer raise their swords against each other and learn no more to wage war."
My immediate neighbors are Jews and I am a Jehovah's Witness.
Their hearts are superior than pure gold by far. They are extremely kind.
The gentleman takes care of my trash can every Wednesday without my asking him to do so. They are lovely human beings, and they are not in need of the smallest improvement.
