This trip with these students would be her last trip to Auschwitz in 2014. Surprisingly, Kitty is still alive (age 94). I highly recommend reading her book ("I am Alive"), if you can locate it, which was published a mere 15 years after she was liberated giving readers a fresh, first hand account of the atrocities that occurred.

They weren't just a race. They were brothers, sisters, mommies and daddies, who ate ice cream and treats, joined for a hot dinner, gathered around the radio, played hop scotch, worked and took long baths. These were people.
@Mister Kat Technically anyone can be Jewish. You can't change your race but you can change your religion. Technically it's not a race. It's an ethno religious group of people.
@@LightningJackFlash Don't forget the widespread support the Nazis had running these camps. The British largely ignored these camps. The Slovenians paid the Nazis to take the Jews they didn't want. The MS St. Louis which was full of Jews looking for asylum was turned away by Europe, the USA, Canada, Cuba, etc... So who were the 'torturers then?" They were the people ordered by force by governments to execute these people, and it was a cooperative effort many countries worked together to achieved
Watching this with my husband and two dogs sleeping next to me, and suddenly I feel unbelievably grateful for the blessings in my life. Boredom is a luxury.
Weirdly enough, this makes me feel guilty. I have anorexia and I starve myself because I tell myself that I’m not thin enough. These people would give anything for a bread crust and I can’t eat. It may not send me into recovery but I’m definitely more weary of what I’m doing to myself
@@classykiwi4226 that hit me right here ❤️. I hope you sooner than later become proud of who you are. Victor Frankl a survivor of a concentration camp had found meaning from his suffering. He wrote a book called "Man's Search For Meaning" an inspiring book. "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves." "We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms -- to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." Victor E Frankl I wish you the best going forward.
Mark Robertson Thank you. I managed to eat more than 4 strawberries today which is more of a victory than you can imagine. Support is everything and I'm starting to see the darkness under my eyes, bones on by abdomen, and hair on my face that grows out of malnutrition. It's all hitting me that this is an issue. Hoping to get in a clinic by April! Getting better 💕💕
I watched the earlier documentary about Kitty Hart-Moxon's (Kitty Felix) first trip back to Auschwitz with her son and it was so moving. It is good to know she continued to share her experiences with people and that she is even still alive now, as of July 19, 2022. She and her mother are/were amazing women.
There is a documentary with Kitty from 1985 here on youtube. She shows the camp to her son and I also recommend it because back then there weren't thousands of tourists obstructing the view and she basically walks through an empty camp. BTW Kitty used to swim a mile a day when she was in her late 50s and exercised every day. I bet she continued it as long as she could. That's why she is so energetic today. Can I just say that the teens with her are smart and full of empathy? That's some good parenting right there.
“A place to eat, a place to sleep...and if you don’t mind the language, a place to shit.” Yeah, no, you’ve got full rights to cursing, ma’am. I would understand if she cursed the whole way through.
- the things they had to do to survive - to go so low and be ashamed of yourself for the act you did - Just to stay alive... that’s just heartbreaking and demoralizing - nothing can be anything worse to live this way and keep those memories but then to somehow come out with proper manors and apologize for a swear word is really amazing - seems to me they didn’t completly break her after all :)
KitteN MittenS No they didn’t because I saw them in London on January 27th 2020; I wanted to hug them so badly since they lost their family to this dreadful War
This has to be the most impactful video I have ever watched. I’m 15 and just learning about the atrocities committed in the holocaust. I am so thankful she is still here to educate future generations such as myself, I never would have expected to be impacted so hard by this video. And how strong she is after going through all of that astounds me. I will never take my freedom and privileges for granted ever again, because now I know just how hard the Jews had it. Thank you Kitty, so much.
@@StephenCowley001what did she say that was dishonest, may I ask? Genuinely asking btw not trying to be rude. I know this comment is kinda old just wondering.
@@Cosmodrama This, for example, isn't how crematory chimneys work: "Smoke was beginning to billow out of the tall chimneys and soon sharp flames shot up 6 feet into the sky. The black smoke became thicker and darker and choking, bringing with it a most peculiar smell, that of burning bodies, a smell of singeing chicken would be comparable, but this stench of burnt fat and hair was unbearable. . . . As evening came, the whole sky was red, as if lit up. Smoke and flames poured out of all the chimneys which surrounded our little camp. It seemed as if blood was coming out, as indeed it was." ("I am Alive", Kitty Hart, 1961, p86). The brick would crumble. She seems to have copied stories from Krystyna Zywulska’s “I Came Back” (1951) in her own book. She tells tales (on TV) of eating from a bowl containing poo and pee. I wouldn't care to try the experiment, but I'm pretty sure that's impossible.
@@StephenCowley001 I see what you mean, and yeah it does seem a bit impossible to eat out of a bowl containing human waste but at the same time a lot of details about the holocaust seem a bit hard to believe. Honestly the reasoning for that though is because of how inhuman the nazi party treated people that they felt deserved it, even though they were just as human and you and I. Considering the fact that disease was so common in the concentration camps I think eating out of the same bowl you defected in doesn’t seem too far out of the realm of possibility
We have no idea how blessed we are. What these people went through is horrifically unimaginable. I can’t think, read, watch anything to do with it without shedding tears for them. May they Rest In Peace and god bless the survivors. This was the worlds worst tragedy.
God, if I ever complained forgive me. If I ever showed prejudice or racism towards anyone , forgive me. And God, if I EVER took my life and freedom for granted forgive me.
Too bad everyone does not think like this. I was here two years ago and it was very sad, people can be so cruel. Just seeing it with my own eyes something I will NEVER forget.
This is literally made me cry, I polish my self but live in England. When we were studying “the boy in the striped pyjamas” book in class, students were asking me about Poland and the Second World War. I had told them that Poland had been invaded and was one of the countries to suffer the most. They didn’t know. They thought that Poland had sort of “teamed up” with Germany. They were all surprised to hear that Poland had suffered most in WWII. I think polish history about WWII should be thought more and more in history lessons. It deserves to be heard.
I love GB but their educational system is shit. Greetings from Germany, we fucked up. How ist that NOT obvious? it always irks me when people say "Oh my god this is so bad I didn't know it was THAT bad!" when they see films like shindler's list or boy in the striped pyjamas - I'm like "hun, you think THIS is bad? a hollywood film? they didn't even show you half as bad as it really was!" on that note: what DOES piss me off about the current polish policy (well, where to start^^ but no, seriously) that law they passed? about a year or two ago? stating that nno polish person ever abided in the Holocaust? Bullshit. we all know that Germany was the main culprit, but there were polish people who helped. Just as there were french, russian and italian people who helped (etc) antisemitism wasn't JUST German thing (no whataboutism, the polish government pisses me off in general and that's one part of it. your country was a victim, doesn't mean that some individuals were utter cunts - same goes the other way around. Hope you get it and agree?😅)
When it comes to 1940, I ain’t strong one and I try not to cry in front of everyone because I think people might say something . Had a good 10 years with 1940 now and hoping for many more years to come
I've been there. Not even half way though during the tour I felt I don't belong here. Looking down at the ground, realizing this is the same dirt, a path that thousands, hundred of thousands walked unknowingly to their death.
I am very glad I had the chance to meet a survivor by the name of Jack Fogle. We met him at the Melbourne Holocaust Museum, and talked for around an hour whilst he showed us the exhibits and shared his experience. There was only a couple of us, but he still took the time to tell us about his time in the camps and answer our questions. Even though he was/is well into his 90's, his intelligence and sense of purpose shined thru. It is invaluable to meet someone who survived this hideous period in history. It brings it back to a human level, which can sometimes be forgotten amongst the dates and statistics.

What gets me is how NORMAL life had been just prior. How it was no different to any first world country today. How ahead Germans were in medicine and psychology. How modern their transport system was. How educated the citizens were....You imagine they must have been fundamentally different in some way, but they weren't.
Rebecca Sowell you spent 16 hours in a jail cell and you think that’s relatable to living half of your life in a concentration camp watching your friends and family die? I can’t help but fucking laugh
@Jim Man presumably you're a sex offender? That is NEVER ok. A sex offender destroys lives for LIFE, and absolutely deserves to be punished, and the community protected, for LIFE. Every country, every race, every relatively humane person, hates sex offenders. It's a brutal crime of power, and is never, ever ok.
It's called resilience. Not everyone with Trauma develops PTSD or flashbacks. Another important note is that she has found purpose in sharing her story to educate future generations. That does a lot of good, mental wise. Also, she might have her moments of sadness without showing others. This kind of experiences makes one be selective in the kind of emotions they share with others.
She DEFINITELY has some form of trauma because of this event (it's human.) But every individual handles things differently. She probably doesn't let this bring her down and wants to spread knowledge. That's all that can be done nowadays, to spread knowledge about what happened, and pray it was a one time event.
I have complex PTSD and I can freely speak of my trauma because many people with PTSD have a great ability for something called compartmentalization the ability to speak about it factually by removing yourself and your emotions. Like you are speaking of someone else. During abuse many people are able to go off somewhere else in their mind while the abuse is happening but still knowing exactly what happened. It's hard to explain so sorry if I confused you
All people handle it differently. Form what I can tell, she wants to tell the story to many. She wants people to know what happened and the truth behind it all. I think it’s very brave to go back to a place full of bad memories, especially a concentration camp.
that’s what i was thinking !! i cant help but wonder that "kitty" is annes cat bc she was so sad to leave her cat behind but then again he had a name so idk
What Miss Kitty and her mama went through really makes one appreciate our own lives today, even when they are tough. So much respect for this lady. I'm glad she continues to tell her story, it's invaluable.
This was so horrific 😢. I can't believe that there are people who don't believe this tragedy happened. Hitler was a monster of such pure evil. I still cry when watching or reading about what happened there during Hitlers reign. Thank you Katy for sharing I'm so glad you made it out and I'm so sorry for all your losses along with everyone who was put through this horror. May God keep this from ever taking place again.
You've fallen into the age old trap. If your god existed, he would never have let it happen. Imagine the millions of prayers after the Zyklon had been dropped. All for nothing.
Met a few in Portland. But none could never speak on it and every single one had some odd social behavior because of it. And also some of the nicest people I have ever met.
@Allen Attoni Almost dying from a gastrointestinal bleed, I can say that hunger can easily make you go mad. Was only allowed an IV with saline, blood transfusion, and some water to sip and take meds with until they could do a scope and get the bleeding under control. Even after being allowed clear fluids, certain vitamins and nutrients become lacking and you CRAVE desperately certain foods. You would eat anything they give you, even if it tasted so bad that you might vomit, and I have had some nasty chemicals I needed to drink slowly for scans (the one tasted like spoiled/moldy fermented peach drink, and had to drink over 1 Litre of it slowly over an hour) and I would have gladly ingested them if offered. That was only a few days in a similar medically dire state (thin and with dangerously low hemoglobin/blood, loosing vision when trying to stand or walk). Even with that, I really can't imagine what going like that just barely sustained for months... But I can completely agree that hunger can easily be the worst. It becomes so painful, mentally AND physically. You feel like you are wasting away, you literally feel it with every breath.
AkamirNN I'm so sorry you were ill, I hope that you are feeling better now, I suffered not long ago and was put onto a drip and couldn't eat for two days and I felt awful, I have no idea how they and you did that for longer, hunger is truly terrible and for those in concentration and extermination camps got on because they were worked some to death others nearly to. Hunger is something that is crippling so I do understand that someone would say that, because I felt like every part of body was in pain, I believe that the pain people feel is because your body is breaking up any fat because you haven't eaten and that in itself is horrendous, may they all rest in love and I hope you are better now. Sending blessings to you.
My great grandmother and great grandfather were both in Auschwitz. They died when I was very young maybe 10 or so and were both around 90 I don’t remember really, I don’t think they really remembered either. I saw the marks on their bodies and the tattoo on their arms. My great grandfather couldn’t speak and my great grandmother chose not to. The 1 time I asked about the tattoo on my grandmothers arm as a curious young child she just grabbed my hands and started crying and the only thing she said to me was “it was a long time ago, and hell can’t compare.” Never understood what that meant until I became a man and studied the war. I don’t have any stories from them or anything 1 because my grandfather couldn’t even speak and 2 because I don’t think they wanted to even put the idea of what happened to them in my head. But I did find out later in life my grandfather couldn’t speak because his tongue was cut out. And my grandmother only had a few fingers because as punishment for accidentally touching an SS guard as he walked by them in line they cut her fingers off. And apparently they did it 1 knuckle at a time because some of her fingers that she had left were missing a knuckle or 2. That’s all I got from them or anyone that knew about their past. It is astounding to me the level of depravity human beings can go to. Imagine, someone brushes against YOU and because you didn’t move they cut your fingers off 1 knuckle at a time. Or because you made a sound when not supposed to they cut out your tongue and burn the stump so you don’t bleed to death. Imagine being a twin, and having your body mutilated for the thought that your genes could help mass produce a specific race of people. Imagine being a baby boy and being tossed into a pot of water along with a baby girl to see which 1 of you will drown first based on your gender. Or having your entrails cut out while you’re still alive just so they can see differences in size and shape and color and whether or not you will die with your intestines hanging out of your belly. I mean has anyone actually sat and thought of the sheer evil these people were? And these “doctors” did a lot of these things in the “name of science” in order to create a super race of aryans pure German white people immune to all common diseases and things like that. Mutilated and tortured and killed by the thousands just for that reason. Not to mention the ones who did it for fun. Jesus man. I hope hell is worse for them than what they put these poor people through.
I wouldn't be able to walk inside those gates without crying. Kitty is remarkable strong. To endure and survive this horrible place for so many years, and be able to go back there.

When you sit down to eat your dinner; when you get in your warm bed and cover yourself with soft blankets; when you have an actual bathroom to use; when you have food in your cupboards; think of these poor souls who endured the unthinkable. We don’t realize how good we have it until we hear these stories. God bless every soul who suffered and died at the hands of these monsters. It’s just inconceivable that something like this happened.
They were impressionable, brainwashed people easily duped by a man who had saved their country from imminent destruction. And because of that they pledged their loyalty blindly to that man. Remember, before they were bad, or they were madmen, or evil, that they were human. Never forget that, and never think you're above it. We all have monsters inside us. It's humanity. I don't mean to take away from what you said. You should be extremely grateful for your position in life. But it is subtly dangerous to try and exaggerate and mystify something or someone.
@@liammooney8780 Lt. Col. Ellis and Lt Perl of the Prosectution pleaded that it was difficult to obtain competant evidence. Perl told the court, "We had a tough case to crack and we had to use persuasive methods." He admitted to the court that the persuasive methods included various "expedients, including some violence and mock trials." He further told the court that the cases rested on statements obtained by such methods. The statements which were admitted as evidence were obtained from men who had first been kept in solitary confinement for three, four, and, five months. They were confined between four walls, with no windows, and no opportunity of exercise. Two meals a day were shoved in to them through a slot in the door. They were not allowed to talk to anyone. They had no communication with their families or any minister or priest during that time. This solitary confinement proved sufficient in itself in some cases to persuade the Germans to sign prepared statements. These statements not only involved the signer, but often would involve other defendants. Our investigators would put a black hood over the accused's head and then punch him in the face with brass knuckles, kick him, and beat him with rubber hose. Many of the German defendants had teeth knocked out. Some had their jaws broken. All but two of the Germans, in the 139 cases we investigated, had been kicked in the testicles beyond repair. This was Standard Operating Procedure with American investigators. Perl admitted use of mock trials and persuasive methods including violence and said the court was free to decide the weight to be attached to evidence thus received. One 18 year old defendant, after a series of beatings. was writing a statement being dictated to him. When they reached the 16th page, the boy was locked up for the night. In the early morning, Germans in nearby cells heard him muttering. "I will not utter another lie." When the jailer came in later to get him to finish his false statement, he found the German hanging from a cell bar, dead. However the statement that the German had hanged himself to escape signing was offered and received in evidence in the trial of the others. Sometimes a prisoner who refused to sign was led into a dimly lit room, where a group of civilian investigators, wearing U. S. Army uniforms. were seated around a black table with a crucifix in the center and two candles burning, one on each aide. "You will now have your American trial," the defendant was told. The sham court passed a sham sentence of death. Then the accused was told, "You will hang in a few days, as soon as the general approves this sentence: but in the meantime sign this confession and we can get you acquitted." Some still wouldn't sign. We were shocked by the crucifix being used so mockingly. In another case, a bogus Catholic priest (actually an investigator) entered the cell of one of the defendants, heard his confession, gave him absolution, and then gave him a little friendly tip: "Sign whatever the investigators ask you to sign. It will get you your freedom. Even though it's false, I can give you absolution now in advance for the lie you'd tell." - E. L. Van Roden, "American Atrocities in Germany", The Progressive. February 1949, p. 21f.

I’m pausing this video every so often to gather myself. My heart just aches and I will never ever understand how anyone could hate so much that they would want to destroy so much life.
I've been there on a school trip, traveling from Norway. We had two trips to Poland and Germany and visited Auschwitz, Ravensbrück and Sachsenhausen. On the first visit, we had a "time witness" with us who was prisoned in Sachsenhausen. His name was Per Saxegaard. He learned us a song they (the prisoners) sang to get through the day, to keep the motivation up. I still remember the lyrics and melody of that song, I'll never forget the song and the stores he told us.
I saw a documentary and, after she came to the UK she spent a lot of her time getting very very fit, especially swimming. By her own admission, more than a bit obsessive but prepared to deal with anything life brought her.
This woman has been in so many documentaries and interviews... She was always so very open about all that happened, in order to make others aware of it all. History repeats itself when it's forgotten. I think she's trying to prevent that. Even with that noble thought in mind, she's so incredibly brave to open up about all of this all the time. It can't be easy. She's so strong.
Kitty has to be in her eighties. She is a prime example of looking evil in the face and refusing to be destroyed by it. She looks amazing and has an incredible mind.
The part that always affected me the most from when I first heard these stories as a child was seeing families split, and especially seeing children taken from there mothers. That for me left a deep scar on my soul. As a child it was my deepest fear and one that plagued my dreams, being lost and can’t find mum.
Sadly, it won’t be long before there are no survivors to tell their stories. Learn from them. Share them. And never allow something like this to happen again! My mom Was 10 years old and growing up in New York then. So many had no idea of the atrocities that took place. We know now and we must never forget!

When my youngest child was about 4 or 5 we saw a man in front of us at the checkout at the grocery store. This elderly man had numbers tattooed on his arm. My son saw this and asked me what that was. This kind man turned to my son and explained as simply as possible. As he was talking to my son, tears were forming in my eyes. He took my hand in his and said " do not cry. I was one of the lucky ones- I survived. I was the only one left in my family." That hit me so hard. We read about this in history. But the reality was strong once I saw those numbers. You hoped it was not real but it was- it really happened. We went home and I cried for all those who lost their lives to a Jewish man who hated Jews. I tried to explain this to my son. It was very difficult trying to explain this to a child.

I hope that helps. The museum has a web site and it might have more up to date info.
This will sound odd, I have been there, & what scared the hell out of me was the railway platforms inside the camp. One could just imagine the dogs barking, the utter confusion, the stench from the train carriages, children screaming, the feeling of utter hopelessness. A horrific mental image. I found a corner & cried.
@Nat Soc 1) they did. The records do exist 2) that's like asking why you would put a bill in as accounts payable and then paying it with cash instead of just putting a cash transaction. It's because your records need to be precise. And no one was more precise than the germans
As I’m sitting here in 2023. I am still in shocked this even happened to them. It’s heartbreaking and to think it all can happen again is just terrifying. I am deeply sorry for all the pain and torture they’ve endured. ❤
My word I would love to take this trip with Kitty. Auschwitz is a place I MUST see in my life. I was born in Germany to American parents. Did 3 tours of Germany and my dad took a lot of time to explain things. I am old now and I never made it here, but it is a must that I go. Kitty is an amazing lady.
I believe that Kitty worked as a guide at the camp after she retired from her job in the hospital but that she has now retired from that. I too would have liked to have met her there.
...this is why the younger adults are in trouble and so is our country. The horrible wars and the extreme hardships and Holocaust are being forgotten....until the day they come back to haunt us. It will be too late.
I love how this granny narrates the whole situation, she remembers so well and accurately. and u can tell from the way she tells the whole story that she was really there and she remembers every little detail. Best narration of the whole holocaust I've seen so far.
You’re right, it is incredible that she remembers so much in detail. Experiencing trauma will create a block in your mind to forget or push away memories that are too difficult to process. I know some people can’t remember certain times in their lives. It’s amazing she remembers.

Disaster-piece _ Which is fine, and having humility is definitely important, but if you are struggling at all it doesn’t invalidate your feeling of struggle due to what others have experienced themselves.
“You’d get in trouble?” “No not trouble, you’d get killed. Full stop.” I love this line. It really shows how different the world was for Kitty when she was their age, & how those 2 girls can’t even begin to comprehend what happened. It really says a lot.
Well that’s the point of progression, isn’t it? Making the world a better place for future generations, but also educating them on the terrible things that have happened throughout history.
You are all extremely blind if you think the world has progressed what is happening right now is a slow roll of the exact same and this time it will not just be to jews but to the whole earth "it shall come upon the whole earth like a snare and not one of them shall escape" if jesus had to bear the cross how much more so us?...... "whosoever shall receive the mark in their right hand or head shall be tormented day and night in the presence of god and his holy angels" when the time comes remember....this was not even 100 years ago....
Watching this makes me grateful for everything I had in my life, I distinctly remember in high school I remember meeting a survivor the message she told us was (remember the children). We’re truly blessed for wat we had for millions had their lives and humanity taken from them.
I love that the girls have their arms around her and she walks through the camp. I live in NYC and once a few years on a bus I saw this beautiful old lady in a big black fur coat and sunglasses. She was so stylish and poised that she caught my eye. Then she put her arm up on the bus railing and the coat slid back to reveal a crude numbered tattoo across her forearm. Growing up, reading about the Holocaust, I always thought those things were small, close to the inner dip where your arm bends to your elbow but it was huge, scrawled across her delicate skin. I was so taken back because I've never seen a survivor with my own eyes before. It was a really humbling moment as I imagined what he life must have been like to bring her here to this little moment on the bus. I'm glad she appeared to be thriving. And I hope where ever she is now that's she having a good day.
That this happened in my parents lifetime, is just surreal. My dad fought in WW2. He was never in Germany or Poland but he had heard about what happened by other veterans who had gone in to concentration camps and seen the inhumanity of what man did to man. Never forget or it could be repeated!
It's still scary for me at least because it hasn't even been 100 years since it happened. It's horrifying to know that this has happened and there are still supporters of this. There are still people out there thinking the death of so many innocent people were great.
Tina that's the reason We all serve in Idf,and know there will no be safer place for us to live beside Israel,This is our home and will be as long as we here🗽I wish blessing To all the people around the world And never forget.
@queenbeethatme100 if you believe everything you see on television and hear on the news that's a pretty lame,As I said to many people before come visit Israel learn the truth with your eyes and not with your ears,you might learn how much lies people spread to increase the hatred.
I cared for a couple of brothers. One who was very quiet. He used to sleep in his chair, never on his bed. If you woke him unexpectedly, he would jump up in defence. He wouldn't have patterned wall paper as he could see soldiers coming in the patterns. If people complained they were cold he would mutter "You don't know what it's like to be cold". He had been in one of these camps but not Auschwitz. He never spoke about his experiences to anyone but he lived the rest of his life with the horrors. God bless this woman, telling her story of survival..
How one can go through this HELL & come out to still be able to function & narrate is unbelievable to me, the human spirit is incredible. Much much respect to Kitty. Can't fathom why people feel the need to do this to others. This, the apartheid that took place in my country South Africa, I simply am heartbroken. Overwhelmed with anger & sadness for everyone who went through this.
Great documentary. The way she speaks about her memories is so succinct and matter of fact and contributes so well to this film. Thank you Kitty for having the courage and the intellect to share your story. It’s incredibly important that you did.
Such an emotional documentary. I’m very sorry for all the ones who lost their lives, and to all the ones who survived who had to experience all the pain and suffering that went on during the Holocaust. Always be grateful for what you have. Some unfortunate soul somewhere doesn’t have the same freedom we have. And to them, I hope and pray things get better.
I don’t feel it’s sad! I feel it’s the reason she was spared! I’ve seen many documentaries on this but none ceated such vivid imagery of the horror as her spoken words ! She is meant to take people there by her words! God Bless her!
It is very sad the way she went through her teenage years there and now feels as if she belongs there is very, very sad and that is why we need to be happy for where we are now.
What a remarkable woman! Her inner strength, life energy and care for others just so impressive. I hope the rest of her life was full of love and happy moments.
It would never be enough to be apologetic this holocaust happened, but thankful you are here, and for sharing this tragic time in history Kitty. Your courage, and strength are immeasurable. Unlike any I've ever heard. Respectfully yours '.
@@easymoney4180 Just report people like that, my good person. It's encouraged by CZcams because in most civilized countries, "free speech" does not mean that it's legal to commit a hate crime or verbal assault with what someone says. A lot of angry people that preach free speech seem to forget that fact. As a bonus, if they keep it up and keep getting reported, their account is revoked and therefor they have to go through the process of making a whole new account. CZcams ALSO can easily track someone's identity with the I.P. address they use even if they try making a new account. The actual I.P. address can be blocked.
An Award winning documentary on Kitty’s “life” in the camps. God Bless her, her mother, and the many others like them that have left this horrible earth and now are with their once lost family in spirit❣️ 🙏🏽
This is absolutely heart breaking! I will never understand how anyone could do anything even remotely like this! I have a German aunt that swears up, and down that this never happened. I stood up to her, and told her how discusting her elders were!!! That what happened was absolutely discusting, but the fact that your trying to lie about it is even worse!
The Jewish killings were so brutal and also let's talk about Jewish involvement in Ukrainian famine for goodness sake tell the story to the ukrainians and wait for their reply
In my humble and sinful opinion, I do believe that the nazis, at least the great majority of them, are now in hell, and they have to spend time and eternity there for what they have done to all of mankind 🎉
Paul French I never claimed America was innocent. We never had death camps. Also, just because people declare war doesn't mean civilians are in the wrong. You seem to have a lack of intelligence.
Paul French You haven't earned my respect, so I don't care about your pathetic feelings. Also, their declaration of war was a boycott genius. Oh wait, you're not a genius. You're just stupid. Realize that I don't care for your existence let alone your feelings. Want to be a Nazi sympathizer, fine. Want to fight about it, give me your address. I'll happily get the shit out of a Nazi sympathizer. Also realize that civilians aren't guilty just because their country acts foolish. Moron.
Paul French My family was only new to the US during WWII. My family originally came from Germany and Mexico. Also, learn that your sentences need to make sense or you sound even more Incompetent.
I am very grateful for the house I live in, the bed I sleep in, the refrigerator that preserves my food, the toilet I use to rid of my human waste, everything I have I am grateful for because of the Holocaust. I do believe Kitty is right when she says, “If it happened once. It will happen again”, and I pray for the victims that will have to endure another Holocaust and pray that it won’t be me.
I just got back from a trip to Poland and let me tell you. Being taught about this in school is only a fraction of beginning to understand how vile this place was. Being able to see this place in person was heart wrenching
Sometimes the children would be sex trafficked or burned alive.. the babies were used as target practice it was a horrible time it's still very very saddening that the German people were okay with this
I can't even stand to think about the children 😭😭 I think of my 9yr old son and he would be sooooo scared and it BREAKS my heart for the parents that they couldn't even protect their children! I cannot even imagine and I don't want to imagine!
Nom De Plume If they had no idea what was happening they'd not be scared. Sadly the truth is worse, they were playing and laughing, while their parents could only grieve in advance.
I was fortunate to meet another survivor. I saw his arm tattoo, and asked him. He told me. He and his wife survived. That was about 30 plus years ago, and he was about 60 then. God help us that we never allow this to happen again, to anyone.
It’s already been happening in China in even worse conditions and with all the new modern technology the governments doing a good job of covering it up.
When I was 15, our school was visited by a survivor that had been in Auschwitz at around the same age we were. He lost his father, younger brother, mother, aunt and grandmother, but managed to sneak into the group where his older brother had been sent, and at the end of the war, they had both survived. This man also had his tattoo, still. I'll never forget him.
Amazing, inspirational, strong and wonderful lady. Thank you SO much for telling your story. Thank God you survived. I am so grateful, privileged and humbled to listen to you. God bless you.
Makes me open my eyes to how much we take for granted! Let us be thankful for what we have , a roof over our heads, food, proper rest, our loved ones, freedom!!!... And thank a veteran where ever you go for our freedom!

They were the people ordered by force by governments to execute these people, and it was a cooperative effort many countries worked together to achieved

@@classykiwi4226 that hit me right here ❤️. I hope you sooner than later become proud of who you are.
Victor Frankl a survivor of a concentration camp had found meaning from his suffering. He wrote a book called
"Man's Search For Meaning" an inspiring book.
"When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves."
"We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms -- to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." Victor E Frankl
I wish you the best going forward.

@@classykiwi4226 dear autumn, I wish you success on your path to health! Keep on going!!!
I watched the earlier documentary about Kitty Hart-Moxon's (Kitty Felix) first trip back to Auschwitz with her son and it was so moving. It is good to know she continued to share her experiences with people and that she is even still alive now, as of July 19, 2022. She and her mother are/were amazing women.
There is a documentary with Kitty from 1985 here on youtube. She shows the camp to her son and I also recommend it because back then there weren't thousands of tourists obstructing the view and she basically walks through an empty camp. BTW Kitty used to swim a mile a day when she was in her late 50s and exercised every day. I bet she continued it as long as she could. That's why she is so energetic today. Can I just say that the teens with her are smart and full of empathy? That's some good parenting right there.
“A place to eat, a place to sleep...and if you don’t mind the language, a place to shit.” Yeah, no, you’ve got full rights to cursing, ma’am. I would understand if she cursed the whole way through.
Yea I think that most swearing ands or takes away meaning to words
Ikr?! She has full rights to say WHATEVER she wants! God bless her 💜🙏
The thing is 'swear words' weren't always a thing. Very exciting is technically the same as fucking exciting. 2021 is a shit world.
- the things they had to do to survive - to go so low and be ashamed of yourself for the act you did - Just to stay alive... that’s just heartbreaking and demoralizing - nothing can be anything worse to live this way and keep those memories but then to somehow come out with proper manors and apologize for a swear word is really amazing - seems to me they didn’t completly break her after all :)

This has to be the most impactful video I have ever watched. I’m 15 and just learning about the atrocities committed in the holocaust. I am so thankful she is still here to educate future generations such as myself, I never would have expected to be impacted so hard by this video. And how strong she is after going through all of that astounds me. I will never take my freedom and privileges for granted ever again, because now I know just how hard the Jews had it. Thank you Kitty, so much.
The lady in the video is dishonest. Some of the things she says elsewhere are impossible.
@@StephenCowley001what did she say that was dishonest, may I ask? Genuinely asking btw not trying to be rude. I know this comment is kinda old just wondering.
@@Cosmodrama This, for example, isn't how crematory chimneys work: "Smoke was beginning to billow out of the tall chimneys and soon sharp flames shot up 6 feet into the sky. The black smoke became thicker and darker and choking, bringing with it a most peculiar smell, that of burning bodies, a smell of singeing chicken would be comparable, but this stench of burnt fat and hair was unbearable. . . . As evening came, the whole sky was red, as if lit up. Smoke and flames poured out of all the chimneys which surrounded our little camp. It seemed as if blood was coming out, as indeed it was." ("I am Alive", Kitty Hart, 1961, p86). The brick would crumble. She seems to have copied stories from Krystyna Zywulska’s “I Came Back” (1951) in her own book. She tells tales (on TV) of eating from a bowl containing poo and pee. I wouldn't care to try the experiment, but I'm pretty sure that's impossible.
@@StephenCowley001 I see what you mean, and yeah it does seem a bit impossible to eat out of a bowl containing human waste but at the same time a lot of details about the holocaust seem a bit hard to believe. Honestly the reasoning for that though is because of how inhuman the nazi party treated people that they felt deserved it, even though they were just as human and you and I. Considering the fact that disease was so common in the concentration camps I think eating out of the same bowl you defected in doesn’t seem too far out of the realm of possibility
We have no idea how blessed we are. What these people went through is horrifically unimaginable. I can’t think, read, watch anything to do with it without shedding tears for them. May they Rest In Peace and god bless the survivors. This was the worlds worst tragedy.

This is literally made me cry, I polish my self but live in England. When we were studying “the boy in the striped pyjamas” book in class, students were asking me about Poland and the Second World War. I had told them that Poland had been invaded and was one of the countries to suffer the most. They didn’t know. They thought that Poland had sort of “teamed up” with Germany. They were all surprised to hear that Poland had suffered most in WWII. I think polish history about WWII should be thought more and more in history lessons. It deserves to be heard.
I love GB but their educational system is shit. Greetings from Germany, we fucked up. How ist that NOT obvious?
it always irks me when people say "Oh my god this is so bad I didn't know it was THAT bad!" when they see films like shindler's list or boy in the striped pyjamas - I'm like "hun, you think THIS is bad? a hollywood film? they didn't even show you half as bad as it really was!"
on that note: what DOES piss me off about the current polish policy (well, where to start^^ but no, seriously)
that law they passed? about a year or two ago? stating that nno polish person ever abided in the Holocaust? Bullshit.
we all know that Germany was the main culprit, but there were polish people who helped. Just as there were french, russian and italian people who helped (etc) antisemitism wasn't JUST German thing
(no whataboutism, the polish government pisses me off in general and that's one part of it. your country was a victim, doesn't mean that some individuals were utter cunts - same goes the other way around. Hope you get it and agree?😅)
When it comes to 1940, I ain’t strong one and I try not to cry in front of everyone because I think people might say something . Had a good 10 years with 1940 now and hoping for many more years to come
Poland always gets the raw deal.
I agree. Polish history should be taught. Poland was firced to play host to one of the most vicious regimes known to us.
I've been there. Not even half way though during the tour I felt I don't belong here. Looking down at the ground, realizing this is the same dirt, a path that thousands, hundred of thousands walked unknowingly to their death.
I am very glad I had the chance to meet a survivor by the name of Jack Fogle. We met him at the Melbourne Holocaust Museum, and talked for around an hour whilst he showed us the exhibits and shared his experience. There was only a couple of us, but he still took the time to tell us about his time in the camps and answer our questions. Even though he was/is well into his 90's, his intelligence and sense of purpose shined thru. It is invaluable to meet someone who survived this hideous period in history. It brings it back to a human level, which can sometimes be forgotten amongst the dates and statistics.
I met Holocaust survivors in London 2 years ago tomorrow and it was a dream come true. The survivors are strong and amazing people I’ve ever met

I'm surprised she can speak freely of this, you'd think she'd have PTSD or flashbacks, but she's so brave!
It's called resilience. Not everyone with Trauma develops PTSD or flashbacks. Another important note is that she has found purpose in sharing her story to educate future generations. That does a lot of good, mental wise. Also, she might have her moments of sadness without showing others. This kind of experiences makes one be selective in the kind of emotions they share with others.
She DEFINITELY has some form of trauma because of this event (it's human.) But every individual handles things differently. She probably doesn't let this bring her down and wants to spread knowledge. That's all that can be done nowadays, to spread knowledge about what happened, and pray it was a one time event.
I have complex PTSD and I can freely speak of my trauma because many people with PTSD have a great ability for something called compartmentalization the ability to speak about it factually by removing yourself and your emotions. Like you are speaking of someone else. During abuse many people are able to go off somewhere else in their mind while the abuse is happening but still knowing exactly what happened. It's hard to explain so sorry if I confused you
All people handle it differently. Form what I can tell, she wants to tell the story to many. She wants people to know what happened and the truth behind it all. I think it’s very brave to go back to a place full of bad memories, especially a concentration camp.
What you completely failed to understand is that, most people get over atrocities, because life goes on.

"Hunger is the worst thing anyone can experience." Says the holocaust survivor....
That is truly profound in some way....
@Allen Attoni Almost dying from a gastrointestinal bleed, I can say that hunger can easily make you go mad. Was only allowed an IV with saline, blood transfusion, and some water to sip and take meds with until they could do a scope and get the bleeding under control. Even after being allowed clear fluids, certain vitamins and nutrients become lacking and you CRAVE desperately certain foods. You would eat anything they give you, even if it tasted so bad that you might vomit, and I have had some nasty chemicals I needed to drink slowly for scans (the one tasted like spoiled/moldy fermented peach drink, and had to drink over 1 Litre of it slowly over an hour) and I would have gladly ingested them if offered. That was only a few days in a similar medically dire state (thin and with dangerously low hemoglobin/blood, loosing vision when trying to stand or walk).
Even with that, I really can't imagine what going like that just barely sustained for months... But I can completely agree that hunger can easily be the worst. It becomes so painful, mentally AND physically. You feel like you are wasting away, you literally feel it with every breath.
@queenbeethatme100 Ok.
AkamirNN I'm so sorry you were ill, I hope that you are feeling better now, I suffered not long ago and was put onto a drip and couldn't eat for two days and I felt awful, I have no idea how they and you did that for longer, hunger is truly terrible and for those in concentration and extermination camps got on because they were worked some to death others nearly to. Hunger is something that is crippling so I do understand that someone would say that, because I felt like every part of body was in pain, I believe that the pain people feel is because your body is breaking up any fat because you haven't eaten and that in itself is horrendous, may they all rest in love and I hope you are better now. Sending blessings to you.
so so sad my god what a strong woman my heart goes out to all the beautiful people who suffered and died i hope there souls are at peace ❤❤❤❤❤❤
And yet 25,000 people still die everyday worldwide of hunger right now as I write this.
My great grandmother and great grandfather were both in Auschwitz. They died when I was very young maybe 10 or so and were both around 90 I don’t remember really, I don’t think they really remembered either. I saw the marks on their bodies and the tattoo on their arms. My great grandfather couldn’t speak and my great grandmother chose not to. The 1 time I asked about the tattoo on my grandmothers arm as a curious young child she just grabbed my hands and started crying and the only thing she said to me was “it was a long time ago, and hell can’t compare.” Never understood what that meant until I became a man and studied the war. I don’t have any stories from them or anything 1 because my grandfather couldn’t even speak and 2 because I don’t think they wanted to even put the idea of what happened to them in my head. But I did find out later in life my grandfather couldn’t speak because his tongue was cut out. And my grandmother only had a few fingers because as punishment for accidentally touching an SS guard as he walked by them in line they cut her fingers off. And apparently they did it 1 knuckle at a time because some of her fingers that she had left were missing a knuckle or 2. That’s all I got from them or anyone that knew about their past. It is astounding to me the level of depravity human beings can go to. Imagine, someone brushes against YOU and because you didn’t move they cut your fingers off 1 knuckle at a time. Or because you made a sound when not supposed to they cut out your tongue and burn the stump so you don’t bleed to death. Imagine being a twin, and having your body mutilated for the thought that your genes could help mass produce a specific race of people. Imagine being a baby boy and being tossed into a pot of water along with a baby girl to see which 1 of you will drown first based on your gender. Or having your entrails cut out while you’re still alive just so they can see differences in size and shape and color and whether or not you will die with your intestines hanging out of your belly. I mean has anyone actually sat and thought of the sheer evil these people were? And these “doctors” did a lot of these things in the “name of science” in order to create a super race of aryans pure German white people immune to all common diseases and things like that. Mutilated and tortured and killed by the thousands just for that reason. Not to mention the ones who did it for fun. Jesus man. I hope hell is worse for them than what they put these poor people through.
I wouldn't be able to walk inside those gates without crying. Kitty is remarkable strong. To endure and survive this horrible place for so many years, and be able to go back there.

When you sit down to eat your dinner; when you get in your warm bed and cover yourself with soft blankets; when you have an actual bathroom to use; when you have food in your cupboards; think of these poor souls who endured the unthinkable. We don’t realize how good we have it until we hear these stories. God bless every soul who suffered and died at the hands of these monsters. It’s just inconceivable that something like this happened.

There is no god.
They were impressionable, brainwashed people easily duped by a man who had saved their country from imminent destruction. And because of that they pledged their loyalty blindly to that man. Remember, before they were bad, or they were madmen, or evil, that they were human. Never forget that, and never think you're above it. We all have monsters inside us. It's humanity. I don't mean to take away from what you said. You should be extremely grateful for your position in life. But it is subtly dangerous to try and exaggerate and mystify something or someone.
The simple fact that most of the guards at the camp returned to normal lives after and faced zero consequences is a travesty of justice.

@@liammooney8780
Lt. Col. Ellis and Lt Perl of the Prosectution pleaded that it was difficult to obtain competant evidence. Perl told the court, "We had a tough case to crack and we had to use persuasive methods."
He admitted to the court that the persuasive methods included various "expedients, including some violence and mock trials." He further told the court that the cases rested on statements obtained by such methods.
The statements which were admitted as evidence were obtained from men who had first been kept in solitary confinement for three, four, and, five months. They were confined between four walls, with no windows, and no opportunity of exercise. Two meals a day were shoved in to them through a slot in the door. They were not allowed to talk to anyone. They had no communication with their families or any minister or priest during that time.
This solitary confinement proved sufficient in itself in some cases to persuade the Germans to sign prepared statements. These statements not only involved the signer, but often would involve other defendants.
Our investigators would put a black hood over the accused's head and then punch him in the face with brass knuckles, kick him, and beat him with rubber hose. Many of the German defendants had teeth knocked out. Some had their jaws broken. All but two of the Germans, in the 139 cases we investigated, had been kicked in the testicles beyond repair. This was Standard Operating Procedure with American investigators. Perl admitted use of mock trials and persuasive methods including violence and said the court was free to decide the weight to be attached to evidence thus received.
One 18 year old defendant, after a series of beatings. was writing a statement being dictated to him. When they reached the 16th page, the boy was locked up for the night. In the early morning, Germans in nearby cells heard him muttering. "I will not utter another lie." When the jailer came in later to get him to finish his false statement, he found the German hanging from a cell bar, dead. However the statement that the German had hanged himself to escape signing was offered and received in evidence in the trial of the others.
Sometimes a prisoner who refused to sign was led into a dimly lit room, where a group of civilian investigators, wearing U. S. Army uniforms. were seated around a black table with a crucifix in the center and two candles burning, one on each aide. "You will now have your American trial," the defendant was told. The sham court passed a sham sentence of death. Then the accused was told, "You will hang in a few days, as soon as the general approves this sentence: but in the meantime sign this confession and we can get you acquitted." Some still wouldn't sign. We were shocked by the crucifix being used so mockingly.
In another case, a bogus Catholic priest (actually an investigator) entered the cell of one of the defendants, heard his confession, gave him absolution, and then gave him a little friendly tip: "Sign whatever the investigators ask you to sign. It will get you your freedom. Even though it's false, I can give you absolution now in advance for the lie you'd tell."

I've been there on a school trip, traveling from Norway. We had two trips to Poland and Germany and visited Auschwitz, Ravensbrück and Sachsenhausen. On the first visit, we had a "time witness" with us who was prisoned in Sachsenhausen. His name was Per Saxegaard. He learned us a song they (the prisoners) sang to get through the day, to keep the motivation up. I still remember the lyrics and melody of that song, I'll never forget the song and the stores he told us.

Even with that noble thought in mind, she's so incredibly brave to open up about all of this all the time. It can't be easy. She's so strong.
Kitty has to be in her eighties. She is a prime example of looking evil in the face and refusing to be destroyed by it. She looks amazing and has an incredible mind.

The part that always affected me the most from when I first heard these stories as a child was seeing families split, and especially seeing children taken from there mothers. That for me left a deep scar on my soul. As a child it was my deepest fear and one that plagued my dreams, being lost and can’t find mum.

For a 15-year old to say 'I felt very ashamed at the world'. What wisdom. I hope these two students are doing well and spreading the word of this, and long live Kitty Hart-Moxon.
When my youngest child was about 4 or 5 we saw a man in front of us at the checkout at the grocery store. This elderly man had numbers tattooed on his arm. My son saw this and asked me what that was. This kind man turned to my son and explained as simply as possible. As he was talking to my son, tears were forming in my eyes. He took my hand in his and said " do not cry. I was one of the lucky ones- I survived. I was the only one left in my family." That hit me so hard. We read about this in history. But the reality was strong once I saw those numbers. You hoped it was not real but it was- it really happened. We went home and I cried for all those who lost their lives to a Jewish man who hated Jews. I tried to explain this to my son. It was very difficult trying to explain this to a child.
It's not even possible to understand as an adult how one human could do this to another.

I love how this granny narrates the whole situation, she remembers so well and accurately. and u can tell from the way she tells the whole story that she was really there and she remembers every little detail. Best narration of the whole holocaust I've seen so far.
She was there, but she copied stories from Krystyna Zywulska's "I Came Back" (1951) in her own book "I am Alive".
You’re right, it is incredible that she remembers so much in detail. Experiencing trauma will create a block in your mind to forget or push away memories that are too difficult to process. I know some people can’t remember certain times in their lives. It’s amazing she remembers.
You're so disrespectful to call her a "granny". She has a name you ignoramus, try using it.

okay nvm I reached 36:48
I love that the girls have their arms around her and she walks through the camp. I live in NYC and once a few years on a bus I saw this beautiful old lady in a big black fur coat and sunglasses. She was so stylish and poised that she caught my eye. Then she put her arm up on the bus railing and the coat slid back to reveal a crude numbered tattoo across her forearm. Growing up, reading about the Holocaust, I always thought those things were small, close to the inner dip where your arm bends to your elbow but it was huge, scrawled across her delicate skin. I was so taken back because I've never seen a survivor with my own eyes before. It was a really humbling moment as I imagined what he life must have been like to bring her here to this little moment on the bus. I'm glad she appeared to be thriving. And I hope where ever she is now that's she having a good day.

I cared for a couple of brothers. One who was very quiet. He used to sleep in his chair, never on his bed. If you woke him unexpectedly, he would jump up in defence. He wouldn't have patterned wall paper as he could see soldiers coming in the patterns. If people complained they were cold he would mutter "You don't know what it's like to be cold". He had been in one of these camps but not Auschwitz. He never spoke about his experiences to anyone but he lived the rest of his life with the horrors.

It is very sad the way she went through her teenage years there and now feels as if she belongs there is very, very sad and that is why we need to be happy for where we are now.
What a remarkable woman! Her inner strength, life energy and care for others just so impressive. I hope the rest of her life was full of love and happy moments.

I do believe Kitty is right when she says, “If it happened once. It will happen again”, and I pray for the victims that will have to endure another Holocaust and pray that it won’t be me.
I just got back from a trip to Poland and let me tell you. Being taught about this in school is only a fraction of beginning to understand how vile this place was. Being able to see this place in person was heart wrenching
The horror to me was the thought that when liberated they literally had nothing and no one to go back too
At least they were alive. You can always start over, if you are alive.
@@bettywith2girls Primo Levi commited suicide after some years he was liberated from the camp.
They were "free" to remain homeless and hungry. It's heartbreaking that so few cared about these people. So many Nazis escaped justice as a result.
Betty Smith after what they endured and saw, I’m sure they were breathing but were dead inside
Logic genius you must eat your own feces
BUT CAN WE TALK BOUT HER MOTHER!! HER MOTHER IS JUST AMAZING. A HEROIC MOTHER EVER
no.
Lol fake af
Like an Angel from God!
True
@@kobyoku6110 you gonna actually refute my claims or just vomit baseless ad hominim as your argument?
My heart hurts....my heart hurts. God bless all the souls that departed that horrible place.
I am sobbing rn... I am grateful for my grandparents. They are now living nice and safe. Love you lots.
The poor children and babies.... they must have been so scared... they had no idea what was happening... poor poor souls 😢
Sometimes the children would be sex trafficked or burned alive.. the babies were used as target practice it was a horrible time it's still very very saddening that the German people were okay with this
I can't even stand to think about the children 😭😭 I think of my 9yr old son and he would be sooooo scared and it BREAKS my heart for the parents that they couldn't even protect their children! I cannot even imagine and I don't want to imagine!
Nom De Plume If they had no idea what was happening they'd not be scared. Sadly the truth is worse, they were playing and laughing, while their parents could only grieve in advance.

@Nir Hakimian Did you not read anything he said?
I was fortunate to meet another survivor. I saw his arm tattoo, and asked him. He told me. He and his wife survived. That was about 30 plus years ago, and he was about 60 then. God help us that we never allow this to happen again, to anyone.
I met survivors at London last year, amazing people the survivors are and I’ll never forget their stories in the ceremony
It’s already been happening in China in even worse conditions and with all the new modern technology the governments doing a good job of covering it up.
Wanted to hug them by the end because I heard they were struggling
When I was 15, our school was visited by a survivor that had been in Auschwitz at around the same age we were. He lost his father, younger brother, mother, aunt and grandmother, but managed to sneak into the group where his older brother had been sent, and at the end of the war, they had both survived. This man also had his tattoo, still. I'll never forget him.
Amazing, inspirational, strong and wonderful lady. Thank you SO much for telling your story. Thank God you survived. I am so grateful, privileged and humbled to listen to you. God bless you.
Thanks goodness too for Krystyna Zywulska, whose stories in "I Came Back" (1951) are copied in Kitty's book of 1961.
Makes me open my eyes to how much we take for granted! Let us be thankful for what we have , a roof over our heads, food, proper rest, our loved ones, freedom!!!... And thank a veteran where ever you go for our freedom!
