Thank you for your story Eva.

[@Kate-fr7qc]

What a gorgeous human being! Her intelligence and dignity!

[@terrisnider5402]

I was quite impressed with the interviewer. Her voice showed a lot of interest. And this lady was absolutely fabulous! What a wonderful wonderful lady.She told her story bravely and it was so interesting. She let us know what it was like and I was horrified for her and her family! What a terrible world this can be!

[@annemariestein7491]

I wasn't impressed by the interviewer at all. Even though she talks a lot she let a lot of important information go without question,

[@theresaholguin699]

Beautiful photos beautiful family. Lovely lady

[@margaretroselle8610]

Thank you for sharing your important testimony. God’s richest blessings on the Nation of Israel.

Interviewer spoils the interview

[@damiananderson5443]

Such a strong, beautiful & amazing lady...

[@binkytube]

Bless. This is the first testimony I've heard with a lot of humble bragging. Even the interviewer goads her on to do so.

[@Chrisgardner81]

Awesome Testimony!

[@mikedavis4427]

One of the many aspects that I find intriguing about the different testimonials, is how the survivors lives were affected differently depending upon the age that they were when they experienced the events of the holocaust. I've noticed what an enormous impact it had on children that were very young in a critical state of their development. It tells us so much about how important it is to raise a child with all the love and wisdom that you can.

[@helenelazar5130]

The interviewer just kept shooting out questions and interrupting

[@kevinwees3101]

This woman is very interesting to hear about her life.

[@putziiputz9439]

What an amazing strong lady, I felt her story. Tragic.

[@teemarie5478]

Some of the interviewers seem not all there. She really asked her if she knew what day of the week she was born😩🙈 this interviewer is aggressive. She don’t really give the sweet lady time to finish.

[@Amym0011]

The interview w Eva was amazing and she is a wonderful gem of a person. So happy she survived. I found the interviewer rude, she interrupted Eva mid sentence several times, she seemed tone deaf...

[@Crystal-cs3gm]

Omg the interviewer please let her talk. Stop asking questions after every sentence. Let her talk!

[@RowanWarren78]

Why no closed captions. My 76 year old mother can't hear well.

[@janetblanc7658]

How terrifying it must have been, especially for the children. Such inhumane monsters.

[@pamneff7541]

Bravo

[@salutiesse]

Oo wow am watching this on 15th April - realised that when she said she was freed from BB

[@ajkalwaysneedsmoreinfo.576]

Thank you Eva for your story.... I just have to ask, I understand religion and believing in a guy in the sky but if your beliefs become life-threatening why continue, why not just convert for that period of time to survive???

[@asmrscriptures6808]

If your belief is simply that there is a man in the sky then it would be easy to convert. Religion is so much more then just a man in the sky. I do not know specifically about Judaism but Christianity tells us that Jesus sacrificed himself for us so that we could be with him after this life. The Bible tells us that if we are ashamed of God in this life then he shall be ashamed of us in the next life. Jesus suffered greatly for us, so if we convert when times get tough then it would be as if we were too good, or ashamed to suffer for Jesus. This life is not what we are meant for so if we must lose this temporary life to gain eternal salvation, it’s more than worth it.

[@janetblanc7658]

​@@asmrscriptures6808 that is your belief. There are many religions and most dont believe in Jesus. Do you think those millions of people are condemned? That would mean a fairly narrrow-minded Creator. Religions have caused and continues to cause too much division in the world.

[@janetblanc7658]

Unfortunately it wouldn't work for men and boys as they are circumcised.

[@Lucy-ym8ch]

Because the N@zi ideology was a racial ideology not religious so conversion was of no use. Six siblings who were monks and nuns who didn't even know they had Jewish parents were gassed and also a Catholic nun who later became a saint, who had been born Jewish.

[@ajkalwaysneedsmoreinfo.576]

@@Lucy-ym8chHorrible... Is Jewish a religion or a race.

[@paulosousa4006]

really abrasive interviewer

[@socorromedrano7399]

Harsh interviewer😌

[@amatisus1]

I agree Socorro. I have noticed most of these interviewers have a harsh tone of voice when they ask their questions. It puzzles me! This is a subject that deserves compassion, warmth and sympathy. These interviewers do not show much of these qualities. Unbelievable! Why?!

[@marialuft8570]

Just a guess but do you think it might be to help the interviewee keep their composure....I don't know about you but when i am talking about something difficult and someone is sympathetic I tend to lose it....just a guess?
