This woman has such a sweet smile and unbelievably positive attitude considering what she has had to endure. I "Liked" this video, but like is hardly the correct word for it. These interviews are so important and I watch them. Let us not forget what happened so we can try to prevent it from ever happening again.
I always feel awkward clicking "like" too.
What a woman.!
To all the people complaining about the interviewer, consider this. It was taped in 96 which is so different to current day technology and expectations. They’re also volunteering their time.
At the end she says “I’m in the phone book” that in itself demonstrates how she could not have imagined u tube and the breadth these testimonies would reach. I am extremely grateful towards both herself and the interviewer for their time and the lessons in all of this.
Yes and we have to realise that the purpose of these wonderful interviews is to collect and document detailed historical facts, not to have a conversation.
❤️ I’m so so grateful that Steven Spielberg made these documentaries, along with the brave, amazing survivors❤️.
I too am grateful, but I think he should have been more careful appointing interviewers- some are as bad as Nazis, firing questions and interrupting. One poor woman spent almost 11 hours jumping from past to present, then going back again. Most are good in spite of the worst interviewers, so I watch on. :)
My heart goes out to all the Jewish people who suffered during the war. Those times were so terrible for them. I don't think I could ever forgive the German people who surely knew of these atrocities done to the Jewish people.
I agree the children is really sad n the eldery is unforgivable . through out history they get it ,almost as if they a have a mark for people to hate ,the humiliation is centuries .
This was so interesting I couldn't stop listening. She is such a beautiful lady with a love for people. What a nice husband a son. A wonderful story of trials and a true survivor ❤️ God Bless You. ANNE ABRAHAM 😊
What a wonderful woman you grew up to be, enduring so much especially being so young. As the interview progressed, i began to wish we had been friends, I'm not surprised that you had friends wherever you went. RIP thank you for sharing your story
I took her package design class at Pratt. She was a great teacher and very nice person.
All my respect and love for you, Chava Ben Amos.
Fascinating interview. The interviewer really should have let her finish her sentences before interrupting her with another question.
I’m ❤
❤
What a trying childhood you had! You are a beautiful lady!
What. A lovely, remarkable lady.
Thank you for sharing your story. xx
Annoying interviewer who interrupts too much. It's hard to even hear him. He should have been given a mic. Good testimony from this nice woman.
What a remarkable lady! I love her spirit!!
one of the best interviews i have ever seen!!!:):)
She is incredible but the interviewer is hugely annoying - asking such trite question and constant interruptions. Just let her talk.
In Christopher browning lectures he explaines why they do that. Shoah has rules the interviewers have to keep the conversation on a specific track its not a free flow of information based o n where and when the survivor was they want only certain information for the record and its different for different areas poland Russia Germany France etc talk about this not just anything they want to share. Other orgs are different he said
@@Kid_Kootenay I've heard A LOT of these. The interviewers do not do what this interviewer is doing. This is the first interviewer who loves to hear his own voice, constantly interrupting and incessantly talking over this lovely woman. I've heard at least 70 of these and this interviewer is very rude.
Wonderful storyteller and a wonderful woman. Her English is exceptionally good. (Chava emigrated to the US only in 1964, after living 20 yeaars in Israel.) I enjoyed her testimony despite the horrors. The part on Fredy Hirsch (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fredy_Hirsch) is especially interesting. Many of her excellent industrial designs can be seen on the Internet. (Type "Chava Ben-Amos" and see the pictures) One small correction, if I may: the river at Hamburg is the Elbe, not the Danube. (I happened to live there for 3 years: 1959-1962. Hamburg has been beutifully rebuilt by that time.)
What a remarkable woman!!
Thank you dear lady
I would love to see a movie about Fredy Hirsch. There has been many survivors that interacted with Hirsch and talk greatly about him.
Amazing life , so young yet so very mature and never lost her sence of perseverance under the most horrific situations and retained a wonderful smile .
Toda for your testimony,
Your son should be so proud to have a mother such as you
Charming lady.
Very lovely lady beautiful and kind. Great interview
She is amazing❤️
What a lovely star this woman is. Hope she got her house back! But she is so special.
A good interviewer does not continuously talk over and interrupt the person they're interviewing. This guy is terrible.
Remarkable woman !
She was remarkable in her telling of the events of her time in the camps. It was so vivid.
There are no words to describe Holocaust Survivors I cannot begin to understand how mentally, physically painful it must be to be living in the present day, the past must appear to be a another lifetime only it was not how dos one begin to understand human behaviour , an horrific , atrocious, unbelievable time, yet here they are as we are.
I wonder does HUMANITY learn anything from the past
As we can see these days - Russia - Ukraine - EU - Usa - China - Taiwan - not, sadly ...
Fantastic
Such a lovely person, thank you for sharing your story God Bless You ❤
Such an amazing woman.
This interview is really annoying. I constantly talks over her.
I am always so impressed with the way so many survivors like Mrs. Ben-Amos go forward and live great lives after enduring so much tragedy. I hope Hitler is watching from his cage in Hell! SALUTE Chava!
I wish so bad that all these interviews could be reworked so they could actually be audibly heard. The sound on them all is horrible and I would have liked to hear all the experiences.
God bless her
Any one knows why they took out the name of God from the stamp?
R.I.P
Love her and her will to survive Chava Ben Amos Wesley Chapel FL 33544

Such a shame, I had to switch it off. I could not stand the constant interviewer interruptions. His questions were at times just totally random, quite rude interruptions at times. Worst interviewer for the Shoa I've listened to
I wonder if she ever had to deal with Irma Grese?
This guy is so Rude shut up and let this wonderful lady talk.
When she said she saw a potatoe the ss put it there she knew someone a prisoner would go for it .
Elbe, not Danube...
Pretty lady n her nice family
