I just recently found this page because a Facebook friend shared the most recent video and I - well, I've always been the weird one reading memoirs to try to learn and understand people as well as the past, because without learning about it you can't learn from it and if you don't learn from it, history repeats itself. I greatly appreciate each and every one of the speakers who give their first person testimonies on here as well as the museum for setting up and creating these videos. This is an expanse of our history that I hope is forever learned from and never forgotten. I realize this one was shared many months ago, but I have to say it ~ Thank you, Irene, for sharing your story. Love and blessings to you and yours.

Hi, sorry I don’t wish to comment too much but , isn’t it so sad that people you’ve known all your life , turn on you? It’s one thing (/even though it’s not acceptable) to be in fear of your life to perhaps not acknowledge someone , or a whole family - different story altogether to go into a known acquaintances home and ransack it. Makes we wonder, how did these people feel after - were they ashamed? You hear stories of survivors coming back (/after horrific experiences) and be refused access to their own homes!!!!! I’m afraid man is only always just a step away from brutalality. Unless we change this behaviour , is their any hope for the human race? ‘ Man is an evolutionary experiment that has gone horrifically wrong’. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

A horrible fate no human deserves to suffer. Nazi Germany should always be remembered as the evil empire who killed innocent and defenceless people. I am grateful that she share her story while she still are alive, The pain of losing ones family, friends, your home, your dear possessions, your childhood and having memories of pain, fear, loss that haunts you for the rest of your life must be an unbearable burden. And having nightmares about it and never have the chance to take farewell of those you love... This was a beautiful girl with many friends who could have had an entire other life, if the nazis hadn't stolen everything from her. I am not a jew, I am an atheist but I can only feel immense feelings of sympaties for the jewish people after what they have been through.

That lady who was in your home - she knew she’d done wrong. It must have been so traumatic for you, I just can’t imagine it. I’m sure some lovely mother or a kind grandmother would have taken your sister under their wing if she didn’t find your mum. Mothers always have room for 1, 2 3 or more children. She wouldn’t have been alone , I’m sure. Your family lives on in the blood of you and your sister. Blood carries the genetics of all family members , it carries traits of all. In our case I csn say “ my daughter is like Aunty Yvonne or Aunty Bev or my mum or my husband. My daughter said to me one day , aged about 7, “ well who am I like? Make up your mind’. ( it’d Been a tricky day). My hubby never saw our grandchildren and yet I can see my husband so much in him. They’ll never be too far from you. They loved you all so much. G-D bless you and your sisters families. Thank you for being so brave - and h interview as well. It must be harrowing for you as well. I’m sure I heard a catch in his throat. 🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️ from country south Australia 🙏🙏🙏🙏🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

@1414141x2 жыл бұрын
Because of the chaos that went on for many years after the war. All the surviving Germans (and others who supported Nazism) new that they had to conceal if they were involved in the Nazi regime other than just being a 'soldier'. There was not the ability to check out every soldier so they just blended back into society as it re-established itself. Europe was too busy trying to re-build itself than spend time and money on retrebution. That started to happen years later when there were people who wanted to make those involved in the atrocities accountable for their actions. Also, many people just wanted to forget what had happened and get on with their lives as it was so difficult to look back - they were traumatised.

Thank you so much for sharing with me an infamous fragment of the Hitler's Nazi horrendous regimen, via this conversation. It must be a very sad odyssey to recount it. 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.
