Dear Bella, Tomorrow here in Israel is the Shoa Remembrance Day. I listened to your incredible story and am deeply grateful you shared it with us even though such memories must have brought you incredible pain. Thank you for strengthening us, the Jewish people that no matter what happens HaShem is able to bring us through triumphantly with honor and great dignity which you expressed so beautifully. Thank you.

You are such an amazing and beautiful woman much love from Holland❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@gonefishing167]

What a lovely lady. Bless her and her family 🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺

[@kimc4586]

Thank you for sharing your story. There are no words to say about what you endured. It’s just too horrible. As I age I have become increasingly interested in what took place. I was adopted and now know this is my heritage. It’s so odd that deep inside we feel what is in our DNA. I am saddened and overcome with your story. You are so beautiful I can’t thank you enough for the strength to tell it.

[@maryellwood3653]

Amazing resilience against criminal atrocities. You are incredibly strong Bella, so glad you had a family of your own. Your mother was outstanding, what an amazing woman, her sorrow that came after is so understandable, but she had the strength to move forward, protect you, learn English in a foreign land, get a job, organise housing . Just outstanding after such crippling loss.

[@paulaleonard936]

I cannot imagine what it must have been like for you and your family. My heart breaks listening to your story. You are an inspiration to everyone. God bless you and thankyou for sharing your story. We must never forget what happened Love from Scotland 🤍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙x

[@stevezehler5731]

Bella is an amazing survivor. Resilient, brave and some how she remained optimistic, conducted herself with grace and dignity. I am so happy she had a loving family and a life without any further violence and ugliness. Thank you for sharing your life experience.

[@davidfarmer3499]

what an amazing amazing story!!!! resillience in its finest form!!! it is beyond what you can imagine....huge respect

[@jsdiff90s2]

Wow what a great strong lady!

[@user-xn3ks1tl1f]

Here in the UK, with our comfortable and reasonable lives, we cannot even begin to imagine what Jews went through in Eastern Europe during WW2. Hard doesn’t cover it. Terror and never ending fear & hunger is nearer. It is so important to hear these genuine experiences and to preserve them for future generations. It is also a matter of honouring the dead and remembering their lives and the places and times they lived in. Remembering everyday life is important, remembering the culture of those times valuable so that future generations can cherish it.

[@irenemeno3585]

Such a well spoken, brave woman!! This is incredible!! Her detailed personal account so needs to be told.

[@ginaf2103]

Thank you for sharing. I can't even imagine all the horrors. ❤ From the Chicago suburbs.

[@louiseju]

Bless you, dear lady. I will remember your story and your family and let it be part of what I tell my children and people in our place in the world (Denmark).

[@maryellwood3653]

Amazing resilience against criminal atrocities. You are incredibly strong Bella, so glad you had a family of your own and carved a life of your own. Your mother was outstanding, what an amazing woman, her sorrow that came after is so understandable, but she had the strength to move forward, protect you, learn English in a foreign land, get a job, organise housing, until you could. Just outstanding after such crippling loss, which is even more amazing when you think at that time in the world most women would have been used to their husband organising most things. Independence is such a gift and so critical in survival

[@andretucker3810]

One of the hardest lessons one has to learn as an adult parents likely never taught you is that almost all those around you would put you in a death camp if given the chance

[@greatmusicfan57]

Still today!

[@Galacticmitzvah10]

Oh Bella! Divine Providence carried you swiftly to live and thrive. BH for your mother and your life.

[@damonmelendez856]

47:48 wow they really take care of each other, all the doors opened up for them. They are a model for every ethnic community who wants to succeed. BLM could take note!

[@linmorell1813]

For the person who wanted to know what a Ghetto is, it’s is a poor area of a town, secured so no one can leave, where one ethnic group are confined in overcrowded conditions.

[@butterfliesarefreetofly6964]

Just imagine an army coming and taking your children & family. And theres nothing you can do about it. My heart is broken for the babies, children, teens, adults & elderly. I will never understand how one race could think they’re better than everyone & have so much hate in their heart. And still claim to have God in their lives. Hitler & his people were evil. Evil spawns. May God bless all💜

[@miriammuskal5402]

Your story is unbelievable Hashem should bench you

[@KoolT]

Please pray for America to keep supporting Israel like TRUMP wants. Never back stab Israel. 😢

[@chomik7769]

Wonder, if she remembers Irma Grese

[@pattypatten1626]

Bella. Bless your heart. But why were they rushing you to speak. Why on earth would anyone put a time per on you to tell your story? That pissed me off.

THATS TERRIBLE FOR A LITTLE GIRL WATCHING PEOPLE GETTING SHOT IN FRONT OF HER SHE HAD TO BEEN DEVASTATED.

[@dianadavis8005]

I want to know what is the meaning of GHETTO she's saying the GHETTO WHAT GHETTO MEAN?

[@greatmusicfan57]

Get a Webster's dictionary. Ghetto, a quarter(area) where Jews are held. Italian word, yes they had Ghettos before this time in Italy.

[@greatmusicfan57]

Ghetto, a quarter (area) where Jews are kept. Look it up in a dictionary.

[@robertwarner1160]

The worst thing Germany ever ever did to the world, was build cars.

[@eden7440]

After watching this your comment is somehow inappropriate. BTW, I bet you drive a lovely vehicle!!?

[@robertwarner1160]

Drive! You are a global warmist! You are murdering more than the Germans ever did! You right wing monster
