  • This documentary follows the stories of six female Holocaust survivors, each a former prisoner at Auschwitz-Birkenau. The women, from various countries, arrived at the camp with different backgrounds -- one was the daughter of labor activists, another was studying to be nurse and another was the child of a Prague industrialist. As the film splices current interviews with archival footage, each woman explains how she was able to remain hopeful and to survive in the face of unimaginable horror.

      It really doesn't matter if these documentaries fade into oblivion, we're simply not learning from them or the history they represent.
      Man continues to heap on miseries to his fellow man.
      And if we don't learn to live together, we will eventually die together.

    Here in Germany, it's mandatory to make a school trip to a concentration camp to learn about the horrible things that happened there, but it's something else entirely to hear these first-hand accounts from survivors. My heart goes out to all survivors and to everyone who lost relatives in a concentration camp. I was only born sixty years later, but I feel deeply ashamed of what Germany did back then

      Well in fact there are plenty of people that cannot tolerate cold and move to warmer places to live. Or the other way around, some bodies cannot tolerate heat. And yes people do have a bad quality of life if they do continue living that way. An obvious reason to complain. What you see in these camps was a bodily survival mode. The rate of depression and suicide was quite high for survivors once the left the bodily survival mode that they were in during the camp. It's not how you think, there is more to it than that or other ways of thinking of it. I probably would not have had made it out alive from one of these camps as most didn't. I read an account of a siberian gulag, he said that after a week or harsh conditions and no food men turned into what he called an animal survival mode, they just thought of eating and how to get a bit warmer. Other problems appear once the bodily needs are met. I mean they are always there if you have them but in the meantime they are in the background until you get your body right

      I know I wouldn't have. And I'm very physically fit. I do very long hikes (30 k in one day, for example) with my team, and without food, I'd have collapsed. People who don't hydrate or eat enough DO sometimes collapse on those hikes if they're not used to them. A 30 K hike burns over 1000 calories, and that's on top of your daily requirements. I'd get home from those. I'd have to soak my feet - and I'm wearing VERY good quality technical hiking shoes, proper socks, and even toe pads. If I don't get proper rest and nutrition after one of those hikes, I tend to come down with a cold or something. I mean, I think about that, and this is all for FUN, mind you, and then I think "Ok, so now you're NOT necessarily an athletic person, and you haven't trained, and now you're forced to do a million times worse after months of inadequate nutrition or rest and exposed to all kinds of disease AND the heart under additional strain from all the adrenaline of such a frightening time. I don't know, we're resilient, but I'm not sure I'd survive that.
      Just from the perspective of an athletic person who DOES know what can happen if you're not prepared for extreme physical strain, I've got it pretty firmly in my mind that I'd not have made it to the end..

      You do know Nazis didn't invent anti-Semitism, correct? It was brewing for thousands of years. There's Antisemitism in Shakespeare and in Tolstoy. Jewish Dickens's characters are in all cases despicable. When you don't understand something reading more books about it is a good solution. Maybe try Ordinary Men, which basically explains how to turn a normal person into a murderer. Defining Nazis as demons or ''crazy people'' its making no justice to their victims.

    My Jewish - Ukrainian Ancestors, went through the Great Famine of Genocide, and the Concentration Camps.
    The Great Ukrainian Famine - known as Holodomor, was man-made in Soviet Ukraine from 1930 to 1933 that killed 13 million Ukrainians.
    The Holodomor was part of the wider Soviet Famine of 1930-1933 which affected the major grain-producing areas of the Soviet Union.
    My father was 8 years old in 1932. My father survived during the Soviet Famine of 1930-1933. My father's younger brother Dmytro was 5 years old and he died in terrible agony of starvation. Dad's three-year-old sister disappeared, she went outside and never came back.
    Only 8 years passed after the Soviet Famine Genocide of 1932-1933.
    Hitler’s plans for rearmament and the expanding war economy. It is estimated that 15 to 20 million laborers were utilized for forced labor, and my father was taken from Ukraine and arrived in Austria in 1942.
