"Had Father Not Returned" The Story of Bracha Wiener

[@yooly87]

ברכה, היה לך אבא מדהים. איזה עוצמות וכמה כוחות נפש נדרשו ממנו כדי להעביר אתכם ממחבוא אחד לשני וחוזר חלילה. תודה על ששיתפת אותנו.

I don't know Hebrew but I'm going to assume that what you wrote was in the spirit of love. Bless you!

@@Magravated Google Translate will tell you that the poster is saying complimentary things about the strength of Bracha's father.

Thank God you save these experiences for the next generations to see. Bless you all for your hard work!

'Had father not returned', the life story narrated by Bracha Wiener , is very touching. I don't know if Bracha is still alive, but I felt like meeting her and holding her hands!! Yad Vashem team, kudos to you all !! What a Great and Wonderful job you have been doing, by restoring the history of World War 2 and the precious memories of the survivors !! I just love watching your videos. You take viewers to the actual cities, towns, homes, places and locations where the survivors had spent some time of their lives !!

So moving. I am glad you can tell this story. It is important that the world knows.

[@sarahfarrell8214]

Wow, Bracha's father was instrumental, a hero, in the family's survival. I'm so happy Bracha was able to survive. Always remember these wonderful people and the injustice that happened to the Jewish people.

These historical accounts are very important. Real, true with faces and names, families, homes, businesses. I'm fascinated by the photos. How were so many photos able to be saved so that these brave souls could have some precious memories. How did they get them? My heart goes out to you all, past, present and future. Your strength and courage in being able to build lives, families, communities and livelihoods is incredible! ❣️

So many Poles also saved them - gave them shelter in a few places, helping them with food etc, and that was a death sentence in occupied Poland back then. For merely helping Jews in Poland during German occupation the punishment was torture and death. Fact: Poles have the biggest number of trees of the Righteous Among Nations, so Poles save the most Jews, yet the punishment in occupied Poland for doing this, was the most severe and horrible in all occupied Europe! Yes, there were also bad, antisemitic Poles but good and bad people are in every country. Still, Poles suffered during this war horribly and still saved the most Jews. It's never just black and white and simple.

After surviving the war killed in progroms. In any case every survivor is a great miracle...saludos Sra Bracha Wiener..mis padres z'l de Vienna

[@liddyvasquez7919]

Al mismo tiempo me da mucha rabia porque sufrieron los judíos así. Oyendo sus experiencias me rompe el corazón.Que Dios los bendiga

[@eliza5960]

God Bless her family

[@roberte5057]

Unbelievable how strong you are.

[@mirzamay]

This is the first time I've heard that after the war ended people were doing raids on the Jewish, killing them, stealing, looting, maiming. Such hatred. Imagine surviving a concentration camp just to lose your life to one of these sob's. It's time like this that a part of me truly wishes there is a hell.

All these interviews are recorded to show the world what happened and to make sure they never happen again.

Is she speaking in Ladino or is it just edited into spanish ?

[@Badblondie001]

No, she's definitely speaking Spanish. Even though Ladino is a mix (or form) of Castilian, her use of words tells me she is speaking Latin American Spanish. I too thought it was Ladino within the first few seconds but then she used words that you will only hear in Spanish and not in Ladino.

[@56chrsbri]

@@Badblondie001 Thak you

[@erzonca558]

I have asked myself the same questions because of all the Hebrew words she is putting in.

[@hansbongartz2754]

Estoy muy feliz para ti Bracha que as conseguido hacer una Bonita familia con tu marido despuēs de todo lo que as passado en esta guerra,en este mundo de mentiras nadie no sabe la verdad sobre quien son los nazistas.

[@WendyLopezGazquez]

One thing I don't understand about the incredible story. She married in 1949. Say even if she was very young, she would be around 19? She tells in the story that she was just very little during the war, didn't understand anything because she was so small. But say she was 19 was she married, then she was already ten years old when the war started. So already a young teenager?

[@erzonca558]

She was 12 when the war began. Born in 1927. War started in 1939. Married in 1949 at 22. It's not rocket science after all...

[@hansbongartz2754]

Sister I understand what you have gone through but there is hope in the blood of the lamb (Yeshuah) that gives eternal life if you believe in it ,our Messiah our redeemer saved the Israelites also in Egypt SHALOM ❤️❤️
