Holocaust Survivor | Vera Chapman | USC Shoah Foundation

[@31Shanell]

She is such a beautiful elegant lady. Her testimony is very important and very sad. I'm so pleased she told her story for her granddaughter.

Im not Jewish but I've watched dozens of the shoahs testimonies. My parents were from Albania and they told me about antisemitism and the Holocaust. Even my parents that were not educated, somehow knew all about it. Thank you for sharing this important history. Im sure it wasn't easy but you did well.

Ms. Chapman: Beautiful, classy & extremely intelligent. Grateful for her testimony, family history & to learn more about life in Israel as it became a nation & thereafter. ISRAEL LIVES! I am an American Christian who will support Israel & the Jewish People until my last breath. The time to stand & be counted IS NOW! 🇺🇸 🇮🇱

Thanking Vera Chapman really loved listening to her testimony especially after her family made it to Israel. I have watched many many survivor testimonies and I always used to say this must never happen again.. And it's beyond heartbreaking that Israel suffered another Holocaust. Much Love to this beautiful lady

The look of warning she got on her face when mentioning Irgun

[@patmccarthy]

Fascinating testimony from a beautiful, intelligent woman. Thankyou

[@Maryculligan]

We must NEVER EVER forget what happened. This cannot be erased from history!! May God bless his chosen people

[@niktarinalife9708]

Could you please give informations on the book her sister wrote, as she mentions it quite often. I would be interested in it

[@ruthojen]

Blame the parents for not telling their kids. It’s a pendulum I know so much about the holocaust that it’s unbelievable. I always say we, in my family are a product of World War II. 12:26 My father told me never to get too comfortable in my life because I may have to get up and leave at any point in time. I’m not sure that living under that kind of paranoia has been healthy.

When did this recording happen. .? And how old is she.?

[@31Alden]

Do the math. She was born in 1938.

[@Ivonceci-22]

Recorded in October 2023

[@joellenjohnson4038]

RECORDED 2023 AND AT THE TIME I THINK SHE WAS 84

[@boyardstreet8357]

At 49', she said "Magina" but she was refering to "la ligne Maginot", which was a fortification built in the 1930's at the frontier between France and Germany , to protect France from a German's attack. It didn't work. It was reinforced with barbed wires, concrete, and underground tunnels.

A lot of my trace DNA comes from Ukraine/ pale of Russia. We are ‘black Irish’ though.

[@lizgrazioli-talbot9163]

An empathetic response to a traumatic childhood she was born into would be so much more human. Maybe grasping for the name dropping had to do with her need for belonging.

[@cherylsumner5240]

Read a few comments and I have watched many of these shows but I think she's very superficial and loves dropping names. She's boring and quite insufferable. I'm sure she's passed by now so RIP

[@allabiel3340]

your ignorance is exceeding you, the lady is still alive and dropping names is common in Europe for aristocratic circles, Sumner for sure is not an aristocratic name, so I understand that this concept would be foreign to you
