Thank you, Eva, for telling us your story. You will be remembered always.
The sadness and pain in her eyes is haunting. All the testimonies of the survivors strike me with these sad eyes. What things they were forced to see...you never leave the past behind, no way no how. And that is our common past-in these people's eyes. It haunts all of humanity, it doesn't matter who you happen to be. Listening to these stories is an obligation.
Had me in tears, talking about her children. What a woman, she deserved a good life.
This lady was incredible to listen to. Her loss is overwhelming and heartbreaking. Her love of her husband and devotion to him - admirable!! The love of children - heartwarming and precious!! Truly and amazing interview. What an astounding woman!! When she said she got back almost what she had lost - what depths of love that described!!
This dear woman deserves every blessing she’s had in life 1 million times over
She has such a beautifully soft and kind voice. Such unimaginable cruelty. Those poor people. How did they move on from this? I am so pleased they are recalling what happened to them because people need to know.
Amazing testimony. Only today I was telling off my young cousin for making derogatory comments about the people in the northern part of my country. I told him of this testimony and how people who don't share the same culture as you are Not your enemy. This testimony should be in the curriculum of every school. And her life, she says was actually sustained by a Palestinian soldier. God bless you Dear lady.
This dear woman has both a beautiful heart and soul. You can hear it and feel it when she speaks. I am just so absolutely sorry that she had to witness and go through what she did. May she forever be blessed. ☺️🤲🏻
I experienced so many emotions watching this! What a lady.
Poor people! Horrific
Also the interviewer was incredible! Very professionally done. Thank you so much for uploading,
Eva Braun is an extraordinary woman. She a role model and an example to never give up and always see what you have even if you've lost so much.
Was an amazing woman ... feel honored to have heard her story ....no one should forget Thank you Eva for telling your story
God Bless you, I'm so sorry you and your family had to go through this hell.
Wow! What a lady! Everyone in the world needs to never forget this horrific part of history. People now just don't know what suffering like this means. we are so spoiled and take everything for granted. How horrible to have suffered like that because of a maniac like Hitler!
Such a beautiful woman. We complain about the most trivial things. Eva and the many thousands suffered inhuman behaviour at the hands of monsters. Thank you for sharing this moving story.
Amazing, haunting, sad story. Beautiful lady. Thank you.
G-d Bless this woman and her dear family may they be blessed with success, joy and many happy memories and beautiful, healthy posterity!❤️🙏🏼
Today is Remembrance Day 2019. I watch this interviews and other story's to honour those who've been through war. I'm heart broken for her and so many other survivors, who have lived through the horrors of hatred. How is it that humans can inflict such cruelty upon fellow humans?? I'll never understand it...I'm grateful to those who fought against such evils. I will remember, and watch and cry, and will share your story and other testimonies to my grandchildren...lest we forget.
God bless you Eva Braun
Sadness in her eyes such a beautiful spirit
Woah I just realized her grandson Scott, is “Scooter” Braun.
may her and their memories be blessings
so sad to see that she misses her husband so much...so very sad. thank god she was blessed with children and grand children to give her the strength to continue into old age bearing the heavy burdens of her life experiences in her soul
such a beautiful voice, eternally young - she deserves the world for her suffering
Bless her if she is still with us and her memory if she isn't, and bless her family
Bless this woman's heart, she's been through too much.
Your story and the terrible suffering you have been through...to have lost all those you loved - horrific. Know that one day you will be reunited with all those you loved and who loved you, but nobody should ever have had to go through all that you went through. God bless you, Eva...so glad that you found happiness and a new life with your husband...
I have to say that the interviewer does not impress: she is cold and does not empathise at all. Eva is a beautiful soul, and I am so happy that her family have brought her so much joy.
zimnaya I’m religious and believe there is an afterlife however because they died in a horrific incident doesn’t mean they automatically get sympathy points and get to go to heaven all together
@Amanda B well, at least you’ll have a nice surprise
Thank you ,Eva, for sharing these unimaginable experiences. I am so sorry for your immense suffering.
Your husband sure was a great match with you-leaving Hungary with two young children after all you went through! You both saved your children and grandchildren. ❤️beautiful family photos
She is so, so lovely. I wish I could have hugged her
The courage to live on and have a happy life after such horror is the greatest courage of all. It is the day in and day out practice of courage and faith in humanity that stands as such a monument to all those lost. Such a beautiful family!
Thanks for uploading this .. The lady is so brave and dignified. She has a lovely family..well deserved after losing her parents. In such terrible circumstances.
You were beautiful and still are.. thank you for sharing why you have a broken heart and a happy heart! It is so horrible what was done to you and your family .. I’ve heard many times how terrible the Hungarians were .. I find the Hungarians, Romanians and Slavic people are treacherous and cruel.. I’m so happy you and Joe made it to America..God bless you and your family.. your testimony touched my heart..
You did become a special person, with beautiful eyes to see your blessings in your children and family.
Life is too short and we must cherish life
This is what America is all about I love this lady she is unbelievable God Bless her
This should be made into a movie! Amazing story.
Michelle Csiernyik I was thinking the same thing. It would be cool if her grandson who was into holocaust research could help
This is truly an amazing testimony.
Wasn't Hitler's wife's name Eva Braun??
Thank you so much for conducting this interview and for sharing it with us ❤💜❤
This historical statement is probably the most informative and saddest of them all.
Very sad to hear these stories. My Father was in the American Army, Paratrooper inthe 101St Airbourne. Im not sure but i think they liberated one ifthe camps. God Bless Eva.
What an amazing, amazing story. Interestingly, her grandson (shown near the end) became the COO of WeWork.
Bless her heart
What an amazing lady,her pain is so huge,and still ,she makes me see what a resiliance, what a faith in humans, after all she lived ,she sill remains, gentle ,sweet, what a good human being.
So.....
I'm the only one who's like
👀🙀 A Jewish Eva Braun 😭🤣
So after watching
Wow I can barely absorb the horror and the strength of what you gone through
I'm so sorry but you have our love my sister thankyou for your story
It's bizarre that she shares the same first and last name as Hitlers girlfriend "Eva Braun"
What a name.
An amazing woman deeply moving and God bless her family and God bless America
How can i help fighting antisemitism today. write me.
It seems wrong to have her hold up that identifying paper at the beginning..
It was for the video.
A brave beautiful lady.
I don't understand how she wasn't tattooed, wasn't that how you were identified?
😢😢😭
God Bless you Love xo
God Bless you!
Fabulous interview! Heartbreaking what eva endured. When she introduced all her family members on the photos towards the end of the video, I recognized her grandson who she calls scotty. He looks very much like Scooter Braun , justin bieber and Ariana grande's manager. Can someone pls confirm this is his grandmother hence they have the same last name? Thanks!
💔💔💔
I am so sorry. I don’t know what to say.
Isn't it amazing how so many of them had direct, personal experience with Mengele?
We will keep the memory of these beautiful innocent people alive , this is beyond sad , this is beyond tragic ..to be just 14 years old and this beautiful woman lost her whole family my heart breaks for her ❤️🙏
Just by her voice she seems to hold no contempt for the people who did this to her and her family.
audio español por favor
Eva Braun? Wow!
@57:30... beginning of tape three...listen carefully my friends and family... look around us. Look at our circumstances now... let us pray and see that history knocks at our door today. Will you get on the train?
So sad , nice nice woman .
Lady i think God is looking over you!
Beautiful very touching testimony wonderful woman G-d bless her
Are you watching and listening Germans. How proud of yourselves you must be to hear what a virtual
child had to endure. Torn from her family she survived, God knows how, and tells her story magnificently.
It’s a wonder she’s in one piece today after her experiences, starving and cold bless her. The inhumanity
beggars belief. How ever can the German race hold their heads up and look you in the eye.
Thank u for the difficulties shared I can help u find a way to be sealed with your husband, children, & family, forever!
Her name is Eva Braun.
That can't be right
Until spring 1944, Hungarian Jews remained the largest Jewish community in Europe, which was not affected by mass extermination. Their position changed when the Germans took over the country. At that time, the Regent of the Kingdom of Hungary Miklós Horthy appointed a new government, which began cooperation with the head of the Jewish department in the Reich Main Security Office, Adolf Eichmann. From this it can be concluded that the Hungarian gendarmes were not so bad, rather they were not like the SS. Only when the Germans appeared in Hungary did it start.
She has the same name as Hitler's companion who he married shortly before they both commited suicide
That's right. Goes to show you that ultimately we are more alike than different.
wait what!!?? She's jewish and her name is Eva Braun???!!! Crazy!! How could she hold on to that name??
Why are you having her spell? Annoying
"eva braun" for some reason when I hear that name I think of Hitler's mistress/wife ...what was her actual name? Something like that....no? I'm looking ....WAIT! YES it WAS Eva Braun! What the HELL?
Dougie Quick I felt the same however her maiden name wasn’t Braun
Dougie Quick joe ironic she ended up with that name 😬
If I was a holocaust survivor and had the choice to either take the last name Braun or keep my maiden name, when my first name was Eva, I would choose my maiden name. If you have no clue why google the name and learn something today. But since you were watching this video you probably already know.
Bluntly Blondie you’ve completely ignored the past. only really did the royal families who were women get to keep their maiden name
Of everything this lady had to say, her name is what interests you most, enough to make comment of it
I also believe that All mighty God has saved her live... but how terrible what they went through... as Jews... why the Jews I really really ever will understand.. except that the Jews are up to today still God's people.
Wait......... Wasn't this Hitlers wife?
The American question: How do you spell it?
This woman wasnt very good at articulating her story. The pain was just to great that it seems she tried so hard to forget everything that it was hard for her to pull them memories back up💔
Everyone who put a Thumbs down I’m sure you’ll burn in Hell .
The world devided in: "Jews" and "non-Jews" is a false simplification, which does not allow to understand those times correctly, especially in Hungary where a lot of nations lived together (Slovak, Romanian, Gypsy, Hungarians, Ukrainians, Serbs, Austrian, Polish, Croats and Jews). The background of living in such a society is much more that saying: "they" called me a dirty Jew. Saying this is completely uninformative, because "they" means nothing.
I wish she would stop making those awful tongue and lip smacking sounds. Made a compelling story too unpleasant and difficult to listen to.
