Holocaust Survivor Testimony of Ilse Altman's Presentation (speaking to students)

Speaking to students on 12-1-08 at the Holocaust Museum and Learning Center in St. Louis.
Note that the last 4 minutes are a little choppy because of how the files were compiled.

So very sorry for the suffering of the Jewish people. Grateful you survived. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Loved that her testimony had captions you could read as she spoke! She was one of the last Holocaust survivors to speak-84 years old at the time when she shared her fascinating testimony in front of these students in 2008! Was so easy to listen to because of her excellent communication style & her ability to weave a picturesque visual of the events that happened to her & her family! She truly was a visionary & realized it was imperative to get out of Germany no matter what the cost, even if that meant going against the wishes of her parents... because of being so determined & willing to sacrifice everything, she is one of the lucky ones to have survived who is alive today sharing her story...

Great testimony

I noticed one guy in a grey T shirt sitting next to a girl with long blonde hair laughing /or sort of smirk on his face! I am so pissed off with the younger generation NOT all but seems they have lived such privileged lives. Mom and Dad buy what ever they need! Hence why some of these kids still live at home pass their 30's. If there was a WW3 wtf would these kids do I fear for the future.

My late father, born in 1912, had his life interrupted twice; first by the depression, then by WW II. as my younger brothers wedding rehearsal dinner in a very fancy place, he turned me and said, “I’m going to have these successful young people were dealing with the things my generation had to face. “ Good question.

Ilse Altman is such a gentle and intelligent woman. I am glad she told the story on how life was before Hitler came to power. I pray the world today will realize the danger of anyone in power that preaches hate. Ilse's story makes me realize I need to offer aid to the people from Mexico who are trying to start a new life

[@tomkellycartoons]

Brava, Audrey. You’re a good person too. ❤️🌈🌷

No the additional name for men was Israel not Isaac.

The closed captioning is very poor. This woman has an important story to tell future generations and this captioning nearly spoils her message. Can’t someone redo this??????

Obviously not translated by a human.

[@tomkellycartoons]

How about you? Why do we always think someone else should do it?

[@luzalgarin9518]

The crimes and cruelties committed against my sons and daughters, my fathers and mothers, my brothers and sisters hurt me deeply, regardless their ethnicity and nationality. In Isaiah 2: 4, Jehovah God, the Creator and Source of life, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, promises: "He will be judge among the nations and will settle matters in relation to many peoples. They will turn their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. The nations will no longer raise their swords against each other and learn no more to wage war." My immediate neighbors are Jews and I am a Jehovah's Witness. Their hearts are superior than pure gold by far. They are extremely kind. The gentleman takes care of my trash can every Wednesday without my asking him to do so. They are lovely human beings, and they are not in need of the smallest improvement.

I couldn't leave my parents behind no matter what. But I admire her determination to leave.

These kids just don't get it. So comfortable following a liberal narrative of not thinking. Not a care in the world.

[@kev03103]

What are u talking about, the recent hate out of the USA came out of Trump's mouth. That shit, he didn't condemn those idiots marching around with gauliter torches shouting, " Jews will not replace us". I'd like to kick Trump's ass. How could I miss ?

[@karencallison1807]

The trumplican party are following the nazi agenda!

[@bayron45]

"These kids just don't get it" Yes, because they are kids. Why are you putting a label on that like that and calling them "liberal"?

[@kev03103]

@@bayron45 who are you calling liberal , the ones carrying Nazis torches? That's the comment here. Do you read before you write?

[@tomkellycartoons]

Why make it about liberals That’s the kind of “us and them ” thinking that allows a climate for such atrocities to fester. Sit down. 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
