The interviewer was too short with this kind and smart lady. Thank you for sharing your unbelievable story of survival.

[@agatagoldy]

Im so sorry you went through these horrible experiences, much love to you and your family from Poland 💚

[@pM-sh4ep]

This is a lovely woman who went through horrific experiences, but she is scattered with her story telling and the interview is doing his best to make the testimony coherent by asking questions in a respectful manner. I don’t know why so many commenters are upset with the interviewer. These are not done to be free for alls, they are important historical records and having as much detail as possible in a coherent manner is important.

[@cathygrant1164]

Oh, I like her so very much.

[@denisey4287]

I have watched many of these testimonials and, I feel the interviewer did a good job. They have to try to get as much detail as possible for the records/archives... This lady went through so much horror at such a young age. It amazes me that so many had such courage and will to survive. God bless her and her family

[@Kate-fr7qc]

Highly intelligent and inspirational

[@Aeriyana123]

Beautiful lady. She show so much resilience through all the horror’s and adversity. The interviewer did a good job but she did a great job telling her story. God bless her and her family.

[@swiater1]

I can't watch or even listen to this woman's testimony because the interviewer is so disrespectful to this lovely lady, so many of the interviewers are downright crude!🤔👎🏽

marie55-You are SO right! Who cares what color Goethe's horse was? Why is the color of his uniform important? Let this dear lady tell her story!

[@rein163]

@@lisaherrling6880the colour of the uniform is important as he was trying to establish if the soldiers were the gestapo or other German military establishment. It’s important for the testimonies to be accurate so that one day Germany won’t deny crimes they committed.

[@Crystal-cs3gm]

I would love to go to Poland just to visit the camps and ghetto. I would love to walk in the path they did when they were in the camps. I hope u enjoyed your visit. I know I would need a box of tissues at my side.

[@tinasmith770]

Cant stand the interviewer

[@brucegreenfield9903]

At times, it seemed more like an interrogation than an interview.

[@juliaturner6658]

This interviewer interrupted her four times while she was trying to talk about her brother being murdered. SHAME ON HIS RIDICULOUS BIG MOUTH this wasnt about you sir

[@Aozziegamer99]

I love this woman’s accent and its inflections. Marvellous that she survived and thrived. However, her pro Israel stance is disappointing. Israel stands accused of genocide.

[@basialaufman6365]

this awful interviewer!no softness in his voice, this wasn’t supposed to be an interrogation! but he made it that way! He’s shooting his questions like from a machine gun! many not need it at all.! Good God! so upsetting! he should never interview again!

[@TheRealDeePoole]

Always a maid!

[@lesleyhalliday9925]

Beautiful woman , awful interviewer !!
