    I have seen many of these testimonies and have always wondered how these survivors have managed to keep their sanity after the horrors they went through. This lady is one of the few that actually talks about nightmares etc. It is a good thing that the world hears these victims and hope the world realizes that repetition of horrors like this lurks right around the corner.

    What happened to these people can never be repaid. What a horrific violation of human rights & dignity. Absolutely heinous.

    Elisabeth Mann is such a precious, beautiful, strong, amazing woman. I cannot say enough about how much her testimony moved me. When she introduced 2 of her children and husband Rudy, who was stricken with cancer, I cried. They created a beautiful family after so much tragedy. Bless them all.

    Thank you for sharing this testimony. Now more than ever, I pray that people get the message that hate destroys. As of this date, I do not know if Elisabeth Mann is alive but I want her and her family to know that I am so saddened and sickened for the atrocities committed, and allowed, against the Jewish people. I am incredibly grateful to Elisabeth Mann and even though I am a stranger, I am incredibly proud of her, and in awe of her strength. Also grateful to USCSF for all your important, dedicated and hard work.

    You did not caused your brothers death. I feel so bad knowing that this poor woman thought that. You had no control over what was being done to you. I sure hope she finds some peace of mind.

    Lovely warm soul. So much sadness in her beautiful eyes.. one can feel that terrible experience never healed. Such a heartbreaking that many of survivors feeling guilty because they didn't die, or thinking they could done something for their loved ones.
    Thank you mrs Mann.

    So painful to hear about this nightmare that happened and of what this lady endured, it made me feel ashamed to be a human being. We must never forget.

    What an amazing horrific journey. I’m grateful for you and your willingness to share your story. I will teach my children the lessons that came from this atrocity.
    Please know, your brothers journey was not your fault. He is at peace. This situation was not under your control and your decision was right.

    I love this lady. I'm sorry for her plight and even though her accent was kind if hard to understand at some points, I just love how she describes things. It's so easy to see what she is explaining. God bless you.

    I wish the interviewer would just let the woman tell her story. This should not be about how the interviewers mind works.

  • @TheAnthoula14

    All the testimonies are heartbreaking but this one got to me even more than most. It kills me that she felt responsible for her brothers death. Poor thing. If he was thirteen and very ill from the trip, , the chances he would have been selected to live anyway were almost nill. I'm sure she knew that but it still must have been very painful.

    I’m sorry for what happened to you Mrs. Mann.
    Everything that transpired was the fault of evil Nazi’s that kidnapped you and your family.
    Your experience broke my heart for you.
    Your a beautiful soul!
    My heart and prayers go out to you. Your bravery has kept you alive. Your family now carries the genes of the loved ones you’ve lost. I just want to hug you and take your pain away.
    Your a strong and brave soul. God bless you and your family always! ♥️

    She has an incredible memory. I cried watching her Testimony even more then some others I’ve watched. She is so strong , yet when she talks she is reliving this nightmare and I can feel the PTSD. She will get many rewards in Heaven and her family. She is the most Angry of her Homeland Being Hungarian ! Her family fought in every war including WW1. Yet, the Government striped the Jewish people as if their lives we’re worse then dogs. My prayer as I’m watching this in 2020 during a pandemic that History will not repeat itself. She admitted AMERICA is the Best country to live in ! I agree. Thank you Elisabeth Mann and Family for sharing your Testimony and History! God Bless everyone watching this! Ps. 91

    We need to pay close attention to the stories these brave people are telling. Don't think this couldn't happen here in America. Schools should teach the Holocaust so young people learn what can happen in a communist country. How many of us could survive this? I don't think I could

    This is so particularly sad because of the weight of the decision she carries deciding for her brother that he should line up with their mother at Auschwitz. Devastating testimony.

  • @greybeard7121
    @greybeard7121 Před 4 lety +53

    Such pain in her eyes, she didnt kill her brother those monsters would have killed him no matter where he went. Hate destroys its starting again but in America and unless we are all aware it will happen again and can happen to anyone one of us.

    I know that this is not in relation to her eye witness. But I do have to say that she is very beautiful, in her youth she must have been a beauty. She resembles this Colombian lady I meet a while back, a lot. Both very pretty.

    The interviewers questions are demeaning. Mrs Man even days “that’s a funny question.”

    Can hear Ms. Mann okay but the interviewer is very hard to hear. Volume too low or not speaking into microphone.

    Ok.. Guys this must be what hell is like so give your life to Jesus. I can't imagine what evil that would have to crawl its way up your ass to make you do something so unimaginable. Evil at its peak.
