      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.

    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.

      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.

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.

    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.

      @@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.

    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.
