    When your young you see these survivors stories and think its so long ago for them. When you get old you realize 20 years ago was like yesterday... i cannot imagine thinking back 20 years and this was my memory. Im really impressed by the courage of the victims to even recount such painful memories in detail.

    What a beautiful lady. She is certainly blessed, for she has overcome so many difficult and dangerous situations. We are all but "wanderers in a wilderness" (as Moses was); the true "promised land is HEAVEN ABOVE, a place where no one ever says, "I think I'll be sick today; that's the real ZION" (Isaiah 33:20-24*).
    SHALOM, KIddies! God loves you.

    You are a giant of a person to have witnessed atrocities and to have come out with the other side with grace and dignity.
    The Nazis couldn’t break you. Your parents along with your inner strength fortified you to survive and thrive.
    We will try to honor the loss of your loved ones by living out lives in a way that the Nazis wished to destroy.
    Please have us in mind in your prayers as we will have you in ours.

      There's a lot of them, Kimberly. And they show up under any type of video or forum. You and I both know that normal, decent people don't behave this way. And in my years on the internet, I've come to realize that for many mentally ill and disturbed people, who normally are too antisocial to have any kind of real relationship or social life, are on the internet as a way to meet their socialization needs.

      Amen! I'm surprised at how many idiots there are who attempt to deny the Holocaust, even with all the proof, aside from the testimonies from the strong, brave people who actually lived through the Nazi horror....horrors that were so unimaginable. Like General Eisenhower said to the news cameraman, upon the liberation of Buchenwald, "Be sure to get all this because one day some stupid bastard will try to say this never happened." Damn, he was smart! If you could somehow combine the brains of all the Holocaust deniers together, you still wouldn't have ONE good brain!

    • @poutinedream5066
      @poutinedream5066 Před 7 lety +8

      What I have learned from reading holocaust deniers' posts is that hate makes you very unhappy. It is so clear the toxic effect that hatred has on the deniers themselves. They are so ate up with trying to hurt other people they can't see how they are hurting themselves. I am so glad to be among those who believe in seeing the humanity in everyone. My youtube name is just my name, nothing hateful, or some supposed hateful joke showing just how obsessed I am, nothing anonymous, because I am ashamed of what I write. You don't see many elderly people being so hateful. It kills you young, or if you are lucky, life experience teaches you what a waste of energy and time being consumed with hate really is. I have never seen anyone who, at the end of their life, regrets that they were not rotten enough, did too many acts of kindness. That is why I always tell my kids to err on the side of love, they won't have any regrets. These people, even if they change, will have many.

    Thank you for sharing wi us your incredible story of your experience during the holocaust. I died there as a Jewish child in a recent lifetime. I have many memories about it (as did my son), through many many dreams and visions for the past 40-some years. Although raised Catholic, I married into a Jewish family & converted to Judaism in this lifetime. A side note is that Hitler was raised Catholic, and Germany is a Christian country.

    Hate, like love, can be blind, unreasonable and devoid of logic. But when it wears off, it often is left with regret and shame. People's environment fan the flame of hate, and the more you're surrounded by haters, the more your hate is justified and the less it seems unreasonable. The current situation in USA Republican party a perfect example. It's only when Trump drags the country into hell, that many of his supporters will start jumping ship on the way out of hell. But for now, everyone is carried on by the excitement of the moment. This is how destruction works - it's human nature unfortunately.

      the only problem for Jehovah's Witnesses is not to take as an example what Jesus instituted in their memory, which was to eat and drink the emblems in the Lord's Supper! for it is one baptism and one hope of eternal life. Ephesians 4: 4-6 note 4- There is one body and one spirit, just as you were called in a hope to which you were called; 5- one Lord, one faith and one baptism; 6- God, unique and Father of all, who is above all, and through all and in all.
