Jewish Survivor Barbara Schubak Testimony | USC Shoah Foundation

[@djholliday4413]

Barbara Schubak is an amazing and beautiful survivor. Blessed to hear her testimony. It amazes me that after experiencing the horrors of the Shoah, survivors remain faithful, vibrant, loving & keep their sense of humor. Never forget. 🙏🏻🇺🇲❤🇮🇱

So heartbreaking

[@Pinayukoz4108]

I cannot understand people hit dislike ! Geez! How can anyone dislike a survivor who suffered so much in this dreaded holocaust! - you must all understand there are survivors who did not want to share what they went through it was a painful experience and yet they did so today’s generation must know and not forget! - RIP Barbara ❤️

[@trishayamada807]

Ok maybe this explains at least some of the dislikes….I work with older and elderly people. They will hit the dislike thumbs down because they dislike what happened not that they dislike the person. They dislike what they went through.

[@gonefishing167]

I do understand what you’re saying about the older people ( perhaps younger as well),. I remember when I first started watching these remarkable testimonies, I actually wrote and said how awkward it was pressing the like button because of what happened snd someone wrote to explain that it was o.k to press the like button because it showed empathy. I’ve always appreciated that reply . It is hard 🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺

[@Albertwildhorseshoer]

Barbara, so sorry for the loss you have experienced with all of it's cruelty. Your story helps us know how to survive the seemingly improbable/impossible. Thank you!

[@galinashkarin5797]

Thank you for sharing your story!! Can't imagine how anyone can have so much hate for anyone, especially innocent people!! You and your stories will not be forgotten!!!

[@carlagoncalves531]

Barbara rest in peace. How much pain you endured ... God wanted you to survive. I have no words to say just that I'm happy that you archive a beautiful family to love after such darkness.

[@dbkyhere9229]

Such a great testimony! Thank you!❤️

I am polish my grandparents were poles we have cousins n family still there. I do not know what they did during the war my heart hurts thinking they might have been like these poles. I am not my family is not i listen to testamonies because i think its so important to know history n i honor them im hearing there story's straight from them.

[@gerrymarmee3054]

sarahedington I have wondered and hoped that my distant relatives were not anti semites, too. We can only educate our children to honor all life.

[@elapaszczynski8292]

You have to take in consideration that a lot of Pols lost lives for helping Jewish people during the war.

[@karenwilson712]

Probably not everyone was that way, it was survival

[@TheGrimhilde]

I am Polish and I love Jewish people. Such a loss for Poland most of them don't live here anymore. My dream is to learn Hebrew one day an also in their honour!

She should be ashamed as a Polish citizen for supporting the Soviets as they invaded Poland jointly with German Nazis in September 1939. Read more on wikipedia concerning: The Holocaust and Polish - Jewish relations during WWII

What a beautiful lady and family. The interviewer was excellent. She asked only pertinent questions, didn’t interrupt and had obviously done lots of research before conducting the interview.

[@nicksg3002]

They took away so much and yet you did much more good. Beautiful woman!

[@debraberg4513]

Ms. Schubak shows stamina and emotion in a very healthy way. Like her, I'm very conscious of eating everything on my plate. I only know this because of how my mother raised us. She was poor and always was grateful of having food. Food is EVERYTHING to life like Ms. Schubak emphasized. Many folks from the older countries tend to be like this. Americans just have no clue the struggle people have gone through the centuries including those among slavery. I can only hope we move forward and never have this kind of garbage in any part of the world. Just awful.

Thank you for sharing your story. I have listened to a few testimonies. I am a very empathic. The pain the suffering. The brutality is kind of unfair beyond comprehension. Why I asked myself. Why why so many died so many just like that. God bless each and everyone of you and thank you for sharing your testimonies.

[@gianna5869]

darn i really wish i could have listened to this but unfortunately some of the recordings are too low and no close caption. I just watched the testimony of Mary Natan.

[@katherinedorsey3426]

Gianna The volume is quite low and I can hear something that sounds like the Long Island Rail Road blowing through, but with headphones you can hear it very well and it is really worth hearing. She takes you through a harrowing journey and then brings you back. An absolutely wonderful woman.

[@lauravazquez285]

God blessed her amen

[@lordharry423]

She is not mentioning the Soviet deportations of the Poles under the 1939 occupation.

[@dieselegoiste]

Perhaps because she is talking about her personal experience 🤷‍♀️ which is about being Jewish in Poland under Nazis… It’s her personal story, the minimum people can do is listen without complaining

[@lauravazquez285]

I'm a person of Polish heritage, and to hear that my fellow Polish people helped the barbaric Germans to anialare these poor people, hurts me to the core. I want to say I am so ashamed of what my fellow countryman did to you precious people, and I sit here in tears listening to her story and the anger is boiling in me to know my fellow Polish countryman assisted in this massacre. I am so sorry.

[@nayaslime6462]

please, educate yourself. these survivors tell their own story. there are a lot of people. who were saved by polish people. read about Pilecki who in fact wanted to get into Aushwitz so he can tell the world what was going on in those camps. also for helping,you would get killed. polish people also died in camps and suffer during the ww2. polish people saved many people during those horrific times. camps were organized by germans not only in Poland.

[@sabreecarpenter4285]

I share your testimonies.. I love your strength and courage .. God bless you and your family .. may each generation multiply.. I think the Polish and Czech people are cruel like the Germans.. I think they live in such a harsh and bleak surroundings it somehow has seeped into their souls.. of course the Romanians and Hungarians were horrible too! I would not want to live in any of those countries!! Or Russia!!

[@richard9316]

Yet Poland was the only welcoming place for Jews throughout centuries. Perhaps you should learn some history

[@rmartyn1103]

...And the cruel Americans treatment of Black people. You can’t generalize an entire people. That’s racism.

[@leechristy7003]

That sounds as bigoted as can be, Emma -- as for Russian people, they ground down and broke the back of the Wehrmacht and it's allies by 1944, inflicted 4 out of 5 casualties and loss of material on their fronts, so that nazism would implode and be sent to straight to hell. The mode of thought that categorizes people by ethnicity, rather than dealing with individuals, political leaders or racist or bigoted ideologies is the root of the problem. .

[@elzbietaroman5418]

If you write this pointing bad nations, there is no difference between you and German Nazis. It is a shame.

[@sabreecarpenter4285]

​@@elzbietaroman5418 I agree. As I was reading these responses, I was thinking, God has people with genuinely kind hearts, in all parts of the world. Just because someone was born in a particular place in time, doesn't define them.
