It's horrible that humans have to endure extreme mistreatment then and now. I have been to two Holocaust museums, one in D.C. and one in FL. Seeing victims' shoes piled up was emotionally numbing. Years ago, I went to a Theater to see "Schindler's List". Soon after the movie started, I felt sick to my stomach. I knew I couldn't watch it, and hurriedly left for the bathroom.
What a lovely mother and wife to give love and positivity to her loved ones knowing her own life was about to be taken but thinking of them to the last. Sweet lady and courageous in all areas. That was so brave of her to give the guard the letter.
He was saved by Willy Brachmann who was a kapo at the family camp (of transports that came from Theresienstadt)... Misa was the little helper of Dina Babbitt (also from the family camp) who was Brachmann girlfriend at the time. she talks about it at her testimony...
Vilma was truly a rare woman. She chose to follow her eldest son in death, rather than let him die alone and managed to let her family know what happened to her in an extremely courageous letter. She accepted her fate with grace, while hoping her remaining family would go on living their lives to the full.
I dont think its rare many parents would die for their children. But it is a special bond that most parents have with their children. I agree with everything else you said
@Harry Williams That ain't made up, that's reality, you just don't know truth. Over 70 million people died in WW II, many were innocent, but many were evil.
As I watched this sad film I was wonder how long before some holocaust denier reared his/her head. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to relive it!!

A TRUE Powerful story of just how far a mother's LOVE Will go for her CHILDREN. This WOMAN HAD SOOOOOO MUCH LOVE FOR HER FAMILY. IN THE FACE OF DEATH SHE WROTE ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LETTERS TO HER BELOVED HUSBAND. I TRULY SEE A WOMAN WHO DEFINITELY DESERVES TO BE HONORED AND REMEMBERED FOR THE LOVE THAT POURED OUT OF HER HEART AND SOUL. SHE WAS SOOOOOO INCREDIBLE AND BRAVE ACCORDING TO THE WORDS IN HER HEART AND THE LETTER SHE WROTE. WHAT A WONDERFUL TESTIMONY TO SEE THAT THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF ANY UNFORGIVENESS IN HER HEART. SHE HAD TO HAVE KNOWN THE GOD THAT I SERVE AND BELIEVE IN. I AM 1OO PERCENT SURE THAT THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY GAVE HER THE STRENGTH TO FACE DEATH AND TO OVERCOME ALL FEAR . I LOVE THE JEWISH PEOPLE AND I AM SOOOOOOO SORRY THAT THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS LOST THEIR LIVES AND HAD TO GO THROUGH A LIVING HELL. NO HUMAN BEING DESERVES TO BE TREATED THE WAY THAT THE JEWS WERE TORTURED, STARVED, BEATEN, ABUSED, AND KILLED. GOD BLESS ALL THOSE THAT SURVIVED AND OVER CAME SOOOOOO MUCH CRUELTY. WHEN I HEAR ALOT OF THE TESTIMONYS OF EVERYTHING THAT THE JEWS WERE PUT THROUGH........I CANNOT HELP BUT WEEP AT ALL THE SUFFERING THAT THEY WERE PUT THROUGH. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR STORY AND THE BEAUTIFUL LETTER THAT YOUR MOTHER WROTE. SHE WAS AN EXCEPTIONAL AND AMAZING WOMAN.
@Lynda Anthony But it has happened many times since 1945. Serbia, Rwanda, and Somalia off the top of my head. Though I understand your sentiment and agree we do a poor job of being human (us humans)
Yes, some people just don't realize how lucky they are, in this sometimes, cruel, world, to have family, alive, who cares for them, and are willing to make an effort to reach out and love them. This breaks my heart, a true mother's love for her family: is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. 😢😑 Bless her heart. 💖💐
What a wonderful, strong lady and mother. 😢 . But also amazing the guard actually honoured her in a way by finding her husband and giving him the letter .
Yes, unusual to find a compassionate guard in those circumstances. Perhaps , deep down, he had a heart and managed to get out of that soulless place. 👵👵👵🙏🙏🙏🙏🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
May this beautiful soul rest in peace. This woman's mind was unbroken in the midst of the most excruciating circumstances. This woman exemplifies what true freedom is. It is not one of chains and shackles but one of the mind. When you are free in your mind nothing can imprison you.
She couldn’t let her son die alone, so knowing her other son wouldn’t be alone on this planet she did the only thing she knew to do. She died with her son, loving him as they met God. It’s the most selfless thing a mother can do. May god rest both of their souls.

As a mum of six children and one who is disabled I can say her love for her child was so powerful as it should be and I just know she had to hold him. God bless her and her son . God bless all who suffered .
I am not a mother myself but i think that is what a mother would do.She would not leave her child alone.This is the meaning of true love, a mother's love
The fact that she knew her life was ending and was calm, was just so sad and made me angry because she’s just an innocent mother, and has spectacular kids and now she no longer got to see what they could’ve done for us, nor could she see one of them take another breath.
It was a very noble way to deal with the situation. Only help from the Light in one's soul can grant that. But it should not be assumed that she was all innocent and this way before and during this ordeal. The toughness of the experience and the love in her heart gives strength to cope with most trying adversity.
Well they eliminated the weak, those who would just constitute as waste of resources and space and could not provide anything to the society or their agenda. Inhumane behavior aside, logically it's rational. They were in it to filter out the ones that could become efficient workers. Disabled people are more or less a burden especially in a concentration camp.
I honestly don't know how to feel. The fact that this beautiful , kind mother took the time to do this , and go with her son in such terrifying circumstances. I hope she had a good life in heaven.
I agree with what you say exactly. I do remember a tragic drowning. A minister visited the sorrowing mother. Who asked what would happen now to her son. The minister told her,that her son was now in the hands of One, who would do no injustice to him. An attempt to comfort.Still true though. I knew that minister.
I agree exactly with what you say. Although i recall a minister visiting a widow. Who lost her only son in a drowning.She asked what would happen to him? She was told God would do no injustice to him.Which is true.
"...Have a fabulous life" - Words akin to a wishful prayer. Just simply beautiful; What a brave soul, knowing these are her last days, and projecting eternal love to her husband. Tears running down my face...
I’m 65 and when I was 25 I was at a mall in Charlottesville Virginia ( where I lived for three years) and I was shopping when I was finished I sat down for a while. A old lady came and sit beside me . After a few minutes we began to talk. She had anaccent and I tried my best to understand her. She showed me a tattoo on her inner arm between her hand and elbow. To tell you the truth I hadn’t heard much about Hitler in schools so I was clueless. She went on to tell me she was in a concentration camp in Germany . I felt so bad for her she was still very hurt over what had happened to her.I just wish I had more knowledge about it so I could have responded more and to show her more compassion. I’ll never forget that experience to this day.
There are no words to describe the tragedy of the situation.I just couldnt stop my tears..how could these Nazis be dehumanised to this extent.But what a lady.She is the pinnacle of the best in the human spirit....
Well, Humans have a tendency to believe propaganda and feed into fears and now we see it again in Europe by people voting for racist and nazi parties. But this time the scapegoat is not jews but another religious group.
@@sarahs7751 are you serious? Not only are abortion a womans right as long as it's done right and the fetus does not feel it.

OMG, what an angel of a mother !!! She refused to let her sick son go alone !!! Dear sir, may you be blessed in this life and in heaven. This is your gift from your mother and brother. 😇😇😇💜💔
A mother's true love. As a mother myself who loves her children more than her own, I completely understand what this selfless brave mother must have been thinking in that moment before her death to not let her son die alone. I would've done the same. They both are in heaven looking down on her husband and son who survived. God bless this family. Amazing.
My mother was in one of the camps. She survived. She gave me up for a better life for me. She could not return to her home. I thank God every day for his mercy and blessing
No one will love you more than your mother, for her to go with her son not to face that fate alone is truly the greatest love of all. I cried after hearing this All these years later, yes it's just as painful and as moving as the day it happened. I am forever changed by knowing this. I am speechless, there are no words for such love.
I'm all in tears. When she wrote: don't blame yourself because it was our DESTINY, I'm CALM. These are powerful words that hit. They was not at fault absolutely.
How does one listen to this story and not weep at the humanity of one woman whose immediate circumstances were so harrowing and yet so clear and unchangeable that it allows her to share with this letter, everything in her soul? Her story is one of the most moving experiences of my life. I am so grateful to have stumbled on this video. How amazing that her calm and strength then, is the only thing which allows me now, decades later to be able to make sense of this ungodly and evil period in mankind's history.
So terribly sad,I started crying reading the letter. She was so brave and loving. I have been visiting Auschwitz,it was the saddest place on earth. But I'm glad I went to see it,everyone should go there and imagine what happened there. It was a weird feeling to be able to walk around free,and walk on the same grounds that the poor prisoners walked,and then be able to leave it behind and go on with my life...those people couldn't,I kind of felt their presence there,and "saw" them standing there everywhere. Of course it was only my imagination but it was so sad to be there.
A mother's love how beautiful and how sad she could not think of her disable boy facing death alone I think my heart is breaking to love your child like this is so perfect
Chloe wilson My father, long gone, not only saw the camps and those that survived, but he also interrogated those responsible. Sorry, but I will believe a witness to history over some bullshit written by someone who has their own agenda.
I happened upon this video this morning. This woman seems super human and able to rise above her earthly hell. While on the way to a death chamber, she's writing to comfort her younger son and husband. Incredible.
A secondary point: That she could write so clearly and cogently minutes before being put to death makes her a very gifted writer. Deserving the highest literary prize.
Incredibly moving but the words from the letter which are reproduced on screen, flash far too quickly to properly read, absorb and comprehend the unbelievable significance of the letter.
What a beautiful family. Thank you for sharing your precious memories and letters like a jewel with the world. I salute and admire the life of the admirable mother. Rest in Peace.
Omg! I love history, addicted to these documentaries. This one gutted me a little more. Such a brave woman. Kills me that this actually happened. Rest In Peace.
How fortunate it was that the guard made the effort to find the two who survived. He must have had a heart to do that. I don't think anyone could see this and not shed tears. 😢♥️
I was trembling imagining what this woman must be went through. Terrible. Her loving words (" have a fabolous life", "I'm calm") express the hopeless and the love.
I have a handicapped child myself..I would of done the same exact thing..I couldn't bear the fact that she would die without me holding her in my arms...tears flow as I write this
Ava Guerra Mengele’s family hid him in Brazil, I believe, and he died a natural death. I think he had a stroke while swimming at a beach. His son visited him there.
What brave and gracious words of encouragement! Thank you for posting this video! (Ps: could I suggest slowing down the transitions between slides? Would give us more time to properly read text and view images.) Shalom! 🇮🇱✡🤗🇮🇱
She's an angel. She wasn't died, may live in all out hearts. She doesn't want to leave his kid alone to death bed, and she sacrifice her. leaving her soul to his husband and her golden son. May there be one day I visit that Musium, have glance at precious women's writings.
And here we are. Forgetting and denying the atrocities these people suffered. I knew 2 people that escaped. They eventually wound up in the US. They had their numbers tattooed on their wrists until the day they died. We are forgetting the lessons learned and erasing history. I pray this is never repeated. What a beautiful, selfless woman and brave soul.
Wow! What a incredible feat of bravery in putting pen to paper with what she was about to face, such courage for her children and her husband. God bless her!
RIP you beloved one(s). "Vengeance is mine thus sayeth THE LORD, and I will repay". When the books are opened on that great and terrible day of THE LORD, all that I know is that those wicked people will be cursing the day which they were born.
😪😪😪 no words to express my deep sorrow after having watched this terribly moving vid. Why must humanity's fate be sometimes so cruel and so unfair, striking innocent and pure people who did nothing wrong to deserve such an atrocious tragedy, tearing them all apart from each other ? May they all rest in peace and God bless both the alive and the dead members of this wonderful family as well as all the Shoah victims in general.
Omg may their souls rest ..may this world of cruel things done to people NEVER NEVER HSPPEN AGAIN. LETS SLL REMEMBER WE ARE ALL HUMAN BEINGS LOVE ONE ANOTHER GOD BLESS
@@kol3981 You are misled. The PA keeps *saying* that Israel is committing genocide on the Palestinians, but you must understand that they and Hamas in Gaza will say anything to bash Israel. The Palestinian population has increased very much - this is not genocide! Sometimes these libels are disgusting, like when they post photos from dead children in the Syrian Civil War and say things like "The IDF did this to this innocent Palestinian child this morning." Sometimes the lies can even be funny, as well as maddening: like when Hamas posted a photo of a character from Grey's Anatomy online and said she was a "French doctor voluntarily coming to Gaza to help the suffering Palestinian children." When the ridiculousness of trying to pass off a TV character this way was pointed out to them, though, they quietly removed it from their website and changed the subject.
What a brave, courageous woman! So many beautiful and intelligent men, women and children killed. I don’t know how they could do such a horrible thing. Unimaginable! Don’t know how the Nazis could live with themselves after what they did.
You have to be a speed reader to watch this! I had to keep pausing to read and actually get a peek at the pictures shown. Please slow down the videos, it would make them more interesting.
I cried so hard watching this. I cried as a mother for the pain this mother felt, knowing her precious child was sent to die so horribly. The horrors done to so many can never be forgotten or changed for those left to suffer the effects of loss and abuse. My prayer is that no-one ever moving to the future ever suffer so at the hands of what is called a human. Those that did this aren't human, they are the very evil of the devil. It truely breaks my heart to know the suffering of so many and for nothing but hate of another that worshipped and were of a different race. None is better or worse of another. We all love, give love and bleed the same, we all are born and die the same. I'll never understand how hate , greed and jealousy of men can be a constant drive to war and genocide. This world is big enough for all to be who they are without impact of another's life. Greed is the root, death, and destruction of many men that felt they are better than another, all died and yet it goes on as if it will one day change. One rises up on the blood and pain of others only Ti hand many many more coming to tear away all they stole for their own. Many die for nothing. It makes no sense.
I wish when people put things up like this that they give time to first read description of the photo and then give time to actually look at the photo being able to study it and taken in the message given to it, not just one or the other! Slow it down!
You can only be so brave when you know there is nothing that can save you so you face death with your head held high. RIP angels who have all passed away so tragically.
On an early train to work. My heart is so full of love for this beautiful soul. What a letter to write at such an hour. God bless you. Thank you for sharing.
Such strength! Moms are really good at that. You do what needs to be done. The consequences to herself are at the bottom of her list. A very brave woman!
A heart wrenching video of Kurt,Wilma and their two sons. One fault though.......the photos and the written captions disappear too fast , too quickly, making it impossible to see,to read and to grasp it. Pls, Pls. slow down the speed of moving the photos and captions ahead.
A mother's love. Unconditional...more concerned with protecting her child who would face death....knowing somehow the other would survive. May she and her little boy RIP.
Cried for a solid hour. She was not concerned for herself. Just love for her husband and child. She must never be forgotten.

I would've done the same. They both are in heaven looking down on her husband and son who survived. God bless this family. Amazing.
How can you still use that bastard called God in your comment & no one needs that monster's blessings.l
My mother was in one of the camps. She survived. She gave me up for a better life for me. She could not return to her home. I thank God every day for his mercy and blessing
It's unthinkable that there are those in the world who would deny these stories and this truth. God bless those who keep their memories alive.
No one will love you more than your mother, for her to go with her son not to face that fate alone is truly the greatest love of all. I cried after hearing this All these years later, yes it's just as painful and as moving as the day it happened. I am forever changed by knowing this. I am speechless, there are no words for such love.
How sad. What a beautiful person inside and out.
That is the saddest, and at the same time most beautiful example of a Mother's Love....❤💔
This is by far the most heartbreaking thing I have ever watched. At the end I was in tears but at the same time in awe of the brave courages wife.
"Take care of our golden boy. Do not spoil him with your love." got to me.
My heart breaks again and again each time I watch or read these testimonies of atrocity.
I will never forget.
I'm all in tears. When she wrote: don't blame yourself because it was our DESTINY, I'm CALM. These are powerful words that hit. They was not at fault absolutely.
How does one listen to this story and not weep at the humanity of one woman whose immediate circumstances were so harrowing and yet so clear and unchangeable that it allows her to share with this letter, everything in her soul? Her story is one of the most moving experiences of my life. I am so grateful to have stumbled on this video. How amazing that her calm and strength then, is the only thing which allows me now, decades later to be able to make sense of this ungodly and evil period in mankind's history.
"Into eternity," has a beautiful and calm ring to it. Lovely words from a loving mother.
So terribly sad,I started crying reading the letter. She was so brave and loving. I have been visiting Auschwitz,it was the saddest place on earth. But I'm glad I went to see it,everyone should go there and imagine what happened there. It was a weird feeling to be able to walk around free,and walk on the same grounds that the poor prisoners walked,and then be able to leave it behind and go on with my life...those people couldn't,I kind of felt their presence there,and "saw" them standing there everywhere. Of course it was only my imagination but it was so sad to be there.
Im crying for the whole night...its really sad yet shows love is eternal....will always be remembered....rest in heaven both of you....love always
A mother's love how beautiful and how sad she could not think of her disable boy facing death alone I think my heart is breaking to love your child like this is so perfect
My the lord hold them close. Really heart breaking. Such beautiful people.
Lest we forget. Never should this be forgotten !
denise Mansell They won't let us forget
Chloe wilson And rightfully so. For if we forget, we will allow this to happen again.
Chloe wilson My father, long gone, not only saw the camps and those that survived, but he also interrogated those responsible. Sorry, but I will believe a witness to history over some bullshit written by someone who has their own agenda.
@@bullwinklejmoos That is your choice!
@@sparx180 thank you for comment. I feel as you do. Xxx
OMG! I'm bawling my eyes out!! Such selfless, devotion, bravery and love!! 🌹😪
This single testimony kills the deniers argument .....dead!
i have read hundreds of survivor testimony and history books and i have never heard that one. thank you.
A mothers love is something beyond comprehension!!! God bless this beautiful woman and her family!
My heart wrenched literally... Almost weeped. And suddenly started loving my family more... I salute to this great mother...!!
I happened upon this video this morning. This woman seems super human and able to rise above her earthly hell. While on the way to a death chamber, she's writing to comfort her younger son and husband. Incredible.
One brave woman.
@Rosida Andriyana And better than you anyway
A secondary point: That she could write so clearly and cogently minutes before being put to death makes her a very gifted writer. Deserving the highest literary prize.
Incredibly moving but the words from the letter which are reproduced on screen, flash far too quickly to properly read, absorb and comprehend the unbelievable significance of the letter.
Pause the video like i did : )
Aussie Girl thank you I did but it’s a damm nuisance having to do that and very distracting. It’s a mistake a lot of utube videos make
That brave mother was superior in character and spirit than all those cowards who tormented her.
I can't hold back my tears just imagining her very last moments with her elder son...
What a beautiful family. Thank you for sharing your precious memories and letters like a jewel with the world. I salute and admire the life of the admirable mother. Rest in Peace.
Omg! I love history, addicted to these documentaries. This one gutted me a little more. Such a brave woman. Kills me that this actually happened. Rest In Peace.
You are resting , you were the strong one ,but they are not.
A brave woman and mother
How fortunate it was that the guard made the effort to find the two who survived. He must have had a heart to do that. I don't think anyone could see this and not shed tears. 😢♥️
That literally brought me to tears
Me too. Just horrific.
Pépette Machintruc I know :(
Rosida Andriyana that’s not funny
I was trembling imagining what this woman must be went through. Terrible. Her loving words (" have a fabolous life", "I'm calm") express the hopeless and the love.
Me Too.. Ugh. So sad
Such a brave woman. I am so sorry such a thing could even happen.
Yeah, mind blowing.
What a strong, brave and caring mother she was.
I have a handicapped child myself..I would of done the same exact thing..I couldn't bear the fact that she would die without me holding her in my arms...tears flow as I write this
I have to know about the soldier who passed it along. Was he an objector who was forced to do things because his life could be in danger if he didn’t?
When they showed Mengele’s I froze. I felt so many emotions at one time. The monster that he was. I can’t even think straight.
Ava Guerra Mengele’s family hid him in Brazil, I believe, and he died a natural death. I think he had a stroke while swimming at a beach. His son visited him there.
Most mothers would sacrifice their lives for their children.. Of any race or nation
What brave and gracious words of encouragement! Thank you for posting this video!
(Ps: could I suggest slowing down the transitions between slides? Would give us more time to properly read text and view images.) Shalom! 🇮🇱✡🤗🇮🇱
Yes please slow down
Shalomi to you too, courageous one!
Use playback speed, will help u
@@shikhachaursia - Thank you. Found out the other day. 🌹🌹 Happy Passover!
I have read many true stories of people in the holocaust ‘
Ive been watching holocaust stuff for the past 3 days and this is the only thing that made me cry because i know my mom would do the same for us.😭❤❤❤
I'm here to cry and break down again
Wow the love of a wife and mother. Even knowing she was going to her death she still was caring for there other child and husband.
So heart breaking such a wonderful mother with her child going to their deaths I hope those monsters are living in hell so evil xxx
She's an angel. She wasn't died, may live in all out hearts. She doesn't want to leave his kid alone to death bed, and she sacrifice her. leaving her soul to his husband and her golden son.
May there be one day I visit that Musium, have glance at precious women's writings.
Watching this at work and I'm crying.
She was smart to know what to say. Predicting that her husband might blame himself and that with her goodbye she’d console him.
This incredible brave strong woman touched my heart so deeply and gives me hope and strength for my own life
Heartbreaking, and shows the unbreakable love Mothers have for their children.
Salute to your braveness madam .How big hearted you are .You are an inspiration to all of us .
she was the sunshine to her son and family in that horrible hole of darkness and death . Blessings always .
Truly heartbreaking. The deep love of a wife and mother shown in a few words. May her soul rest in peace.
Totally heartbreaking
And here we are. Forgetting and denying the atrocities these people suffered. I knew 2 people that escaped. They eventually wound up in the US. They had their numbers tattooed on their wrists until the day they died. We are forgetting the lessons learned and erasing history. I pray this is never repeated. What a beautiful, selfless woman and brave soul.
Wow! What a incredible feat of bravery in putting pen to paper with what she was about to face, such courage for her children and her husband. God bless her!
RIP you beloved one(s). "Vengeance is mine thus sayeth THE LORD, and I will repay". When the books are opened on that great and terrible day of THE LORD, all that I know is that those wicked people will be cursing the day which they were born.
😪😪😪 no words to express my deep sorrow after having watched this terribly moving vid. Why must humanity's fate be sometimes so cruel and so unfair, striking innocent and pure people who did nothing wrong to deserve such an atrocious tragedy, tearing them all apart from each other ? May they all rest in peace and God bless both the alive and the dead members of this wonderful family as well as all the Shoah victims in general.
Omg may their souls rest ..may this world of cruel things done to people NEVER NEVER HSPPEN AGAIN. LETS SLL REMEMBER WE ARE ALL HUMAN BEINGS LOVE ONE ANOTHER GOD BLESS
Right on....
J C so should we protest the way that Israel treats Arabs? Since we shouldn't allow for such cruel treatment of people in the world?
We are all human souls and God loves us no matter how we worship him
@@kol3981 You are misled. The PA keeps *saying* that Israel is committing genocide on the Palestinians, but you must understand that they and Hamas in Gaza will say anything to bash Israel. The Palestinian population has increased very much - this is not genocide! Sometimes these libels are disgusting, like when they post photos from dead children in the Syrian Civil War and say things like "The IDF did this to this innocent Palestinian child this morning." Sometimes the lies can even be funny, as well as maddening: like when Hamas posted a photo of a character from Grey's Anatomy online and said she was a "French doctor voluntarily coming to Gaza to help the suffering Palestinian children." When the ridiculousness of trying to pass off a TV character this way was pointed out to them, though, they quietly removed it from their website and changed the subject.
What a brave, courageous woman! So many beautiful and intelligent men, women and children killed. I don’t know how they could do such a horrible thing. Unimaginable! Don’t know how the Nazis could live with themselves after what they did.
Unimaginable crime on humanity !!!
You have to be a speed reader to watch this! I had to keep pausing to read and actually get a peek at the pictures shown. Please slow down the videos, it would make them more interesting.
I cried so hard watching this. I cried as a mother for the pain this mother felt, knowing her precious child was sent to die so horribly. The horrors done to so many can never be forgotten or changed for those left to suffer the effects of loss and abuse. My prayer is that no-one ever moving to the future ever suffer so at the hands of what is called a human. Those that did this aren't human, they are the very evil of the devil. It truely breaks my heart to know the suffering of so many and for nothing but hate of another that worshipped and were of a different race. None is better or worse of another. We all love, give love and bleed the same, we all are born and die the same. I'll never understand how hate , greed and jealousy of men can be a constant drive to war and genocide. This world is big enough for all to be who they are without impact of another's life. Greed is the root, death, and destruction of many men that felt they are better than another, all died and yet it goes on as if it will one day change. One rises up on the blood and pain of others only Ti hand many many more coming to tear away all they stole for their own. Many die for nothing. It makes no sense.
i hope something like this never happens again 😭
That she went with her son to die... its heartbreaking.
I wish when people put things up like this that they give time to first read description of the photo and then give time to actually look at the photo being able to study it and taken in the message given to it, not just one or the other! Slow it down!
Both harrowing and moving but above all else starkly illustrates a mother's love.
You can only be so brave when you know there is nothing that can save you so you face death with your head held high. RIP angels who have all passed away so tragically.
this made me cry....I wish i had a mother to experience this kind of love (rest in peace).
What a loving and powerful woman.
On an early train to work. My heart is so full of love for this beautiful soul. What a letter to write at such an hour. God bless you. Thank you for sharing.
OMG, that cut me up. She was so calm; looked at her situation as going to somewhere nice - heaven? God bless her soul!
It brought tears in my eyes...what a noble soul she was.. God bless her
Such strength! Moms are really good at that. You do what needs to be done. The consequences to herself are at the bottom of her list. A very brave woman!
She spoke of calmness, knowing what lay ahead. May all be at peace...
A heart wrenching video of Kurt,Wilma and their two sons.
One fault though.......the photos and the written captions disappear too fast , too quickly, making it impossible to see,to read and to grasp it.
Pls, Pls. slow down the speed of moving the photos and captions ahead.
I cried after watching this ...
So incredibly sad, yet she only wrote words of love and encouragement. A mother's love. As simple and as important as that.
@Alexandra Ashborn - God gracious ! Are you out of your mind ?????
Jane here. I am speechless. Thank you for posting this. May we all have such bravery in our difficult situations. Amazing.
A mother's love. Unconditional...more concerned with protecting her child who would face death....knowing somehow the other would survive. May she and her little boy RIP.
