- Jewish Holocaust survivor, Lusia Haberfeld, was born in Lodz, Poland in 1931. During World War II, she survived the Warsaw Ghetto, Auschwitz-Birkenau II death camp, Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, and Majdanek concentration camp. Lusia’s testimony showcases various instances of girls’ resistance and survival during the Holocaust.
“While I was working in the camp, how this uprising came all about was there was a young woman working whose name was Roza Robota. And this Roza Robota, with three other girls, were smuggling dynamite to the men. That’s how the uprising came all about. These girls were - it was a whole operation. They were taking the dynamite from Jewish women who were working in an ammunition factory. And it took them maybe 12 months. Little by little, they smuggled the powder, the dynamite, to the men. Powder by powder, you know? It took them a long time. In the hems of their frocks.”
March is Women’s History Month in the United States.

The strength of Lusia to re-live all the pain of these years of her young life for over 3 hours - she was so so very young! So resourceful and courageous. I loved when she related the advice her father gave her as a child. "Whatever the Germans tell you to do, do the opposite." It saved her life at least twice. An amazing life and apparently still alive at 91 years old.
I am not Jewish,but always have strong believe about Holocaust and everything what happened ,watch documentary and others movie,testimony...and can’t believe some people even think,Holocaust never happened.I am deeply sorry and all innocent victims never be forgotten.God bless you all.I am Muslim from Bosnia,and survive a war,from 1992-1995.
This is one of the best interviews. The interviewer is sensitive and does not interfere with the story, and the survivor has wonderful recall and delivery.
This interviewer is one of the best. She does not interrupt, gently guides her back to the questions when Lucia doesn’t hear. Very respectful. Thank you
My heart! Every young person needs to hear this story. Every single person.
Thank you for your story it was be very stressful and mentally exhausting to recall all this trauma. Thankfully you survived, your courage is inspiring.❤
God bless you and your family, Lusia Haberfeld. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
So very touching… my heart is breaking for you dear Lusia. ❤
My Phone would'nt write in english so:
When you listen to these people there is nothing you can really blâme in life.Thank you!!I do thé best I can to share thèse testymonis with the
younger génération.
It's our duty never to forget
The least thing we can do.
Thank you again beatiful Lady ❤

the youngest of the survivor stories like Lusia are the most heartbreaking and descriptive of all. you cannot help cry when she's describing the horrible events she went through and witnessed
Lusia - this interview was recorded 20+ years ago, so you may no longer be with us, but to you and your family, mere words could never do Justice to this amazing testament, and to your absolutely stunning courage, cunning and will to live. What you, your Mother and ALL Survivors had to endure, was beyond comprehension - it was pure, intentional EVIL, perpetrated by one of History’s worst Sociopaths, and his enablers. The fact that you were a CHILD through all of this, is both stunning and heartbreaking. In today’s world, most parents wouldn’t let their 11 year old go to the Park alone, and the things you were doing, seeing, and enduring at that age would be any parent’s worst nightmare. Your testimony sounded almost like a Movie script - no doubt that at that tender age, your developing brain locked all those horrible memories in. Your and your Mother’s survival was nothing short of a miracle. I’m sure it was very painful to have to re-live those nightmarish years for this testimony, but it could not be more important. Even today, Fascists are always ready to take advantage of any opportunity to try to seize power. We must teach all children that “those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it”. You are an absolutely AMAZING woman. I wish you and your family every blessing.
Luisa, you are so beautiful and strong. I'm so happy you survived and have a beautiful family. The Jewish people continue to have beautiful growing families, and that makes me so happy. Thank you so much for sharing your story. Let's always remember, and never forget the beautiful people who were taken away from their families.
Everything Luisa relates is totally consistent of what I know of the Warsaw ghetto and the surrounding events. You can't watch this story and not believe it happened as she said.
With such a brave, confident woman's testimony, I am disgusted to see more of the financial chat in the comments. Since they have no shame, morals or sense, talking to them is a waste of our time- a thumbs down is as far as I go. Please report these- try Commercial content- they just disappeared from my laptop when I did. I will contact USC Sho'ah, though, as they need to know.
Thank you, Lusia Haberfeld, for what you endured and kept straight in your mind. I don't know if it's possible for such survivors to know complete happiness without the bittersweet as well, but Lusia seems to have done a great job. Her book, "Lauferin: The Runner of Birkenau" should be good reading.
There are no financial comments here anymore, so I guess they have been removed in the end! 👍
@@heikerosenau1520 I reported them- they disappeared instantly- TY YT!
@@rescuepetsrule6842 Yeah; just wanted to reassure you it did disappear completely, not only on your laptop.
I can't understand ANY inappropriate comment, especially on topics like this testimony!
@@heikerosenau1520 IKR! Sadly, MANY twisted people use YT to vent their hatred, PROBABLY because they have no friends. :)
My parents went thru the war in Europe in Holland. Dad went to work camps in Germany. not Jewish. They also migrated to Australia in 1956 just after I was born. They didn’t talk much about the horrors but if affected them deeply. I like Michaels saying..second generation holocaust survivors as it also affected the offspring but in a different way. I’m so glad this family survived against all odds and had a good life afterwards.
An Amazing recounting of an Astonishing experience. Thank You for sharing this with us. Watching from Canada 🇨🇦
Impressive testimony.
Her capacity to live on and have a family shows her strong wonderful personality.
May her family keep her and her family's Jewishness
What an incredible woman! Strong, intelligent, cunning, and great sense of humour notwithstanding the circumstances! I could listen to her for days!
Ah-maze-ing! Riveting! This is one of the best/worst stories on the holocaust. What an amazing survivor. Thank you for your story! 🤗 ❤️
I love this story. She is so thorough and had such a expressive way of sharing her experience. 💚 love from USA
ThNk you Mrs Haberfeld, the courage it must take to make and recall these testimonies is enormous. They are so very important. and I knew the name Dr Dunlop as soon as you mentioned it. Fancy being operated on by such a wonderful man. Guess you weren’t thinking anything like that, just about your op. As it should be. Thank you and blessings to you and your lovely family 🙏🙏💤👵🇦🇺
‘Weary Dunlop’ wrote a memoir of his time as a POW of the Japanese. Highly recommend.
God Bless all those poor souls...
Great interview, thanks for sharing ❤
The three generations in a moving family portrait with audio. First I saw of that even though some families could only get three together on most family reunion trips that I know of. Wow for this small but impressive group. 😊
She is a wonderful person. ❤️
Why are people discussing investments in this video comment area? Have you no shame?
I agree, however I’ve seen this on another survivor story. I wish it could be blocked.😡
@@robyn7287 I've seen it on several. It's Shameful.
I reported it. It won’t stop it…but it’s principle
@@ji1072 well done 👏
Apparently, shame went out of style about the same time living like slobs became the fashion. If YT won't block it (and we should all report it, even though none of the options fit), I'm going to contact USC and Sho'ah. If ENOUGH of us do, they'll block it. I have no mercy for the low-lifes that use the Holocaust as a convenient way to chat. I hope they all lose every penny- how dumb is it to ask and take advice from strangers on YT anyway? PT Barnham was right: "There's a sucker born every minute."
Brave ladies and family. So sad xx
Lusia Haberfeld is tougher than most men I know. God bless Lusia andher mom.
Thank you for your testimony, I applaud you too!
Powerful testimony. Thank you.
💔💔💔 Absolutely horrific and gut wrenching
She reminds me of Corrie Ten Boom her dad fixed watches
Amazing.
The volume is so low on this video, too difficult to watch
No sound....?
Thank you.
This interviewer adopted the right tone..patient and earnesr. The rest interviewers came across as rude and cold almost like an interrogater!
Am I the only one who doesn't get the story (in the beginning)? First she says that the Germans emptied the shop, then she says that her mother went back to get things from the shop. Or do I get it wrong?
I believe she has well recall in retelling these events. She seems to be going chronologically according to the Interviewers questioning. It is a bit difficult to understand sometime when a different accent isinvolved. May I suggest slowing the video down to be able to catch & process what this beautiful lady is saying.
Mother got things back from the shop that evil invaders did not want
God bless your beautiful family
Listening to thèse People, thèse is nothing you can really blâme life of anything.Thank you,I Will mâle thé younger génération follow thèse testaments as much as I can.❤
Anna,France
This situation that happened back then, should never be repeated, ever!!! This is what happens when a psychopath like Hitter is chosen as a leader. Of course the people somehow had a hatred against our people for whatever reason! One thing I am sure of is that it could have never been for a love of any god, instead it most definitely have been because of utterly hatred born from a sick mind. An evil born from an evil heart.
Szkoda, że Panie nie mają tłumacza lub nie rozmawiają po polsku, bo ta Pani chyba jest polką.
Postman is actually a Person who delivers Letters. I guess she meat Posten. But that is only half correct. A Posten actually describes a Place where there are Guards, not a Person..but in this Case maybe it has 2 meanings. Poor Lady and what she webt through. Terrible.Oh no, they got it so wrong. A Muselmann is an old slang Word for Muslim. Nobody uses that nowadays but back in the days. But i don't know about the Connection between that Word and why they said that.
The people that saw you marching would have been shot immediately if they offered any help.they also had nothing just the fear of some disturbed SS officers.
Plse remember the German civilians had hell on earth after the war
I empathize with her suffering, but I don't understand her hate for the polish people when they lost also 3 million citizen during holocaust.
I am not polish but I see them like a martyr people. They suffered so much from the germans and also from the Russians during the comunism .
Maybe have a read of how some Poles behaved towards the Jew then. Plus it’s her story.
a man .
And people still believe in GOD!
G-d did not do this
Man did this!!
Men under satans control
People under G-ds control helped people
Many believe the continued misfortune of the Jewish people was *because* of God’s displeasure. Strange that one group has experienced so much tragedy and persecution all throughout their history.
