Dina is so beautiful, such a pretty smile. Such an interesting story; she is so smart, she learned so many languages. I loved her message to the world to help others. I'm so happy she survived with her mom and dad. It was a miracle the way the man went into the tailor shop and that led to her Dad finding out where she was with her mother, wow, what a story. Her family is so beautiful and growing, and that makes me so happy. Hatred didn't win, love won, just look at the smile on Dina and her family. Life does go on and it's beautiful. Thank you for sharing your wonderful story. God bless.

What a lovely lady. One can’t imagine how difficult it must have been for parents to meet again after being apart for so long. The joy of the reunion must be overwhelming. Blessing to her and her wonderful family 🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺

What an amazing story! The description of living in Russia with the goat in the house is so neat. I can't stand the cold, so I felt cold listening to her. She's a wonderful story teller. I find that I feel less like complaining about little things when I realize how difficult life was for people during the war, especially the Jewish people. It's so sad that they lost so much of their families. I'm so glad she was able to get to Canada and have such a beautiful family. I know this interview is in the 90's. Her children are similar ages to mine. I hope she and her family are doing well today in 2023. What a saga her life is. Thank-you so much for preserving the stories of the survivors. It's a history that needs to be chronicled. God bless. 💗

The description of her mother was fabulous

[@aqeel3274]

An amazing story! They were so isolated from everything in the village. It is. So difficult time for dina .

[@zxy78267]

I'd very much like to see her father's interview, but I don't know how to find it. I wish there was a link to family members' interviews. I searched on Google with her father's name and still didn't get any results. If anyone has information, I'd very much appreciate any information.

what a precious lady....bless you

[@dobishs]

Where can I find the interview with her father?

[@Sad_bumper_sticker.]

Heartwrenching for her Family to discover what the stashed RIF german soap was upon arriving in the apartment in Walbrzych.

[@helenf.7221]

[@amelitacamaclang2004]

I love to hear her story but but the audio should be upgraded.

[@suetownsend1656]

What a captivating beautiful woman she is!

תודה לכן

[@cammyshelton196]

Gorgeous lady!

[@NaticzkaKaminskaHenryDolphin]

Often the problem with these memories is that the people who tell them, were too young when the war broke out, to really remember. Russia, on September 17th, 1939 attacked Poland together with Germany. The region she is talking about simply became occupied by the Russians. I also know this because my family comes from exactly this region of pre-war Poland as well, and my grandparents were tortured by both, Germans and Russians. In 1941 when Hitler attacked Russia, breaking their friendship pact, that's when Stalin switched sides and became part of the Allies, and that is when the treaty between the Polish gov in exile and the Soviets was signed, and then they moved citizens around in different ways.

[@judymohre1430]

What happened to her husband, and the Father to her children? The interviewer should have asked.

Im so glad these accounts were made before all the survivors die. In this cancel culture this is more important than ever!!

[@carolwaldon8526]

Why is the interviewer talking in that ridiculous voice?

[@petitanglais]

That's the only thing that you took away from the interview? Seriously, just don't even bother commenting if that's all the analysis you have to offer.

[@PinkPanther70]

I definitely agree. Singing the questions seems condescending.

[@TrueCrimeSurvivors]

Yes, I have listened to this interviewer previously. She has a horrible 'sing song' condescending tone. It sounds as if she's speaking to a toddler which is offensive. No, that's not the only thing that I took away from this, however, listening to these people who interview Holocaust Survivors is really...not good. I'm trying to be polite.
