Our Nightingale, the doctor speaking here from 1997, offers many unusual insights very worth taking in and remembering and pondering in detail. She is brilliant, from all that I can hear. There is so much to learn and especially from out of a mind such as hers, alongside her tremendous heart. Thanks for the chance to sit and listen to her. This is inspiring.
What a sweet lady ! Can’t help but loving her❤️
A lovely lady and a beautiful family.
Thank you for sharing your life experience.
Each Jewish survivor has their own story. Elena's parents were very smart and so brave to leave everything they knew to protect their four daughters. The suffering may not have been as intense as most survivors but the heartache is still there and needs to be recognized. Her narrative was very concise and well said.
Very easy to follow interview. Also very moving and heartfelt.
In 1956 my father was stationed in Livorno, (Army, West Point) he was a JAG officer. I loved our tour in Livorno. Beautiful city. After 2 years, went to Verona. Dachau trials! Very lovely lady, and good interviewer, Lets Isabella talk!! 👍
Thank you thank you. I enjoy your story so much! Loved every minute of it.
Wonderful testimony! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences.
A very brave Lady how she told about her life in Italy and USA lead a close family wonderful clever mother.Thankfully for her testimony!
Such an amazing beautiful kind and wise woman. An inspiration. And what a beautiful beautiful family. I appreciate so much for wisdom and perspective. Much of what she says is very poignant. So much to glean from this interview and this amazing woman.
I am so glad that Dr. Nightingale’s family were able to escape Italy b/4 deportations. Her family worked very hard to assimilate into the United States. Thank you Dr. Nightingale for sharing your testimony. I am sorry for the anti-Semitic treatment your family received here in the US.
Not sure if this should be included with all the other holocaust testimonials. It just sounds like any foreigner coming to a strange country. It doesn't seem fair to those who actually survived the war in Europe.
Well said.
Beautiful sweet lady 💔
Actually, the American Army called Livorno, Leghorn
Please understand. I've watched many, many of these testimonies. The heartbreak is unbelievable and my prayers go out to these people. That being said, being able to flee to the safety of the United States of America and finding it a hardship for your mother to be without "help" and having to take care of her own children, does not pull at my heart-strings. You should be thanking God that you weren't hauled away in a cattle car to a concentration camp. People called you "names"? Welcome to the club. I've been discriminated against because my married name is Sicilian. I don't blame the U.S.A.! I feel sorry for the ignorance of the name-caller. I live in the United States of America and I thank God that I do!
BTW, my maiden name is Nuccio.
No one is in a position to tell another human being what they should be thankful for, especially when it comes down to such brutalities like being being shoved in a cattle car en route to a death camp. This is a personal account of Dr Nightingale’s experience and she has all the right to share her experience the way she felt appropriate. I don’t know whether whether you are a first generation of immigrant but it’s not a piece of cake especially in the circumstances of war and your extended family being at risk of total annihilation. Covert anti-semitic attitudes are as inappropriate as the overt anti-semitism.
Louisiana you seem to be focusing on a very small part of a much bigger heart wrenching story for this woman. This doctor made it clear that she is grateful to be in America and she recognizes the blessings that came from that. It’s insensitive for you to have minimized and compared her suffering. I personally cannot conceive what any of the survivors went through, whether they were children and able to escape with their families or lost families in the holocaust. It’s all very interrelated, and so complex. The bottom line, is that they did escape, but her parents and family were altered. Then she suffered immense discrimination here in the United States as well. So sorry for your suffering as well, and it’s great that you have the perspective that you do, but this may be the first time this doctor shared her story, and many of them have never been able to share their story because no one cared to listen.
@@BellaElla13 totally agree
@@louisianagrandma9787 you are totally out of line.
I’m sorry you were made fun of. But that was not Americas fault. Please feel free to go back to Italy since you don’t like it here, but I am American and proud of it. VonVoyage
