Dear Irene, sending love & hugs to you

I'm very touched by her story. My family left the Ukraine between 1904 and 1920 leaving my great grandfather behind. I need to give Irene a hug and want her to know how deeply her story weighs on my heart. All Jews are related, our hearts beat together.

Ужасающая история очевидца, чудо-выживания в нечеловеческой среде. Евреи должны были подчиняться всем приказам нацистов; даже после конфискации всех ценностей, не верили польским евреям раскрывающим правду об убийстве евреев нацистами. Поражает что евреи себя не защищали, никто не защищал евреев от жестоких нацистов, "воевавших" против мирных детей, женщин, стариков. А соседи заняли дома евреев...

Wonderful testimony!

I remember watching her tell about the Holocaust with lovely sad music in the background. She was going around telling high school students. When she was speaking to a small group of girls in the auditorium there was a blonde girl with the most sympathetic look I have ever seen it, the sadness on the face. Beautiful lady I pray she is well today

Irene you’re like a beacon light in the night for all of us today who wants to hear the truth about the Holocaust. I pray that you be blessed by God forever more to have all the reckoning, love and respect from all and your friends and family to this time. I believe you’re one of many chosen and blessed by God to survive and to live and to tell the tale clearly and honestly, so that non of these atrocities from the German nazis against the Jews and many others, will be forever hidden from the world - Thank you for giving us your true personal living testimony about the Holocaust and the story of the so many Jews that perished in the Holocaust ... My God be with you now , the rest of your life and forever.

The link shared below for the documentary masterpiece by Alain Resnais --- 'Night and Fog ' (1955) --- should be shown before or after each and every discussion about the phenomenon of Holocaust perpetrated by Nazis --- it must be shown/screened to the youth to the students all over the world. This film carries a precise lesson absolutely important for human kind of today and tomorrow !
