I am so thankful to hear the stories... but i wish the interviewer was a little more warm. The survivors deserve every kindness for helping new generations remember!!!

[@148ESTHER]

Where do they find these interviewers? After watching many of survivors testimonies; only a few were good or decent interviewers, the rest not so much. We can feel they are more focused on the list of scripted questions than on the story told by the survivors. I preferred those who let the witness tell his or her story while guiding them through the chronological timeline. This interviewer seems totally uninterested in the story and more worried not to miss one item on her written questionnaire.

The lack of any response from interviewer is jarring. "At 14 I learned how to cook and bake!" "Were you beaten?"

[@robertstine2182]

What an inspiring, noble, elegant, articulate woman. Thank you for sharing your story and relating it to the "big questions" humans will always face. Too bad the interviewer was so wooden. A machine could have done as well.

[@MarkEliasGrant]

Yet these horrors continue. Whether it's the Tutsis and Hutus, or the Israelis and the Palestinians, or the Serbs and the Bosniaks, it just keeps happening. We never learn. Ever. I feel so badly for the children in Gaza, and the Israelis who have been abducted. War has to stop.

This does not belong here. Holocaust Survivors deserve our respect.

Wonderful woman. - So full of life and strength, at her age. Thank you for speaking out! 🌷🙏 PS. Thank you to the interviewer also. Please if possible, show a bit more empathy towards the person being interviewed. Thank you.

When was this recording made?

[@madhudean769]

The interviewers tone so harsh 😢

[@maryellwood3653]

Martha is so sharp for 89, although she got mixed up I think for the year of kristalnacht which was 1938, she seems a lot younger. She seems a little annoyed with the interviewer at times.

[@emmanuelvacakis4463]

Kristalnacht was November 1938

[@Vinchio57]

I can't believe that the interviewer did not let the interviewee name the names of the interviewee's children, and ended the interview so coldly, and abruptly.

[@joellenjohnson4038]

VERY NICE I LOVE HEARING PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THERE HISTORY VERY NICE

[@pereboom23]

Crystal night was on the 9th of November 1938

[@148ESTHER]

Crystal night was in 1938.

[@ruthiekarlinsky2973]

89??!!😮

[@cohenlabe1]

Fyi the video starts off with that off putting loud tone plase edit

[@NoreenWhiting]

Please remember in what year these were documented

[@eileenavci7105]

Like a police interview.

[@zulmabontiffe487]

She seems very nervous and a little annoyed with the interviewer who sounds like she's in a barrel.... She's always fussing with her blouse. They need to let these survivors tell their story their way. That should be taken care of long before the interview. This started out with single word answers. Yes, no.. 😢

[@christophermattheis1998]

She was given "citizenship" but gets mad when we dont want everyone coming here!!😅
