Jewish Survivor Edward Mosberg Testimony | USC Shoah Foundation

[@chenry1279]

After watching and reading 100s of survivor accounts, Ed Mosberg's is unique in his expression of the pain, his honesty about the "searches", his passion for honoring what was lost and gentleness with his wife of +70 years. Producing that truncheon - didn't we all fear a heart attack, either ours or his. Will never forget him! The interviewer walked a tight rope in prompting memory and giving space to feel/grieve/honor. I commend the Foundation for finding him.

[@ayronlp1534]

He is so sweet to his Wife, thank you to both of them for sharing their stories

[@cherylstaples1790]

Amen! Only the dead can forgive. I feel the tension in this man, the pent up grief and emotion barely contained and my heart aches for him and all who he lost. I pray it never happens again. He is so lovely to his wife and so sweet with her. How heartwarming 💖

[@lizkirby6059]

I love this man...his spirit, his clarity, his passion, his honesty and earnest effort to impart every part of every memory in his mind. Thanks in exponential measure.

[@angelinaanderson481]

This couple is extraordinary! I will never forget this mans testimony and for his level of love for his children and grandchildren. I only wish I had the opportunity to meet all of you. I plan to show this to my sons and will share it with my family and classroom. Americans need to lock hands of friendship with people of different religions and fight against antisemitism. God Bless you and your family. And Thank You for sharing your story with the world.

[@angelinaanderson481]

Had to watch it again. We won’t forget Mr. Mosberg.... we won’t forget . You have changed for the better myself as well as my children. Thank You again for being so brave and courageous to talk about what happened. Both of my Grandfathers were in WW2. One was in the Navy and fought at IWO JIMA and the other fought in the Army all the way to Germany. He rarely would talk until recently about seeing horrors of what happened to the Jewish people. He said liberation was a very bittersweet thing for the Jewish people and he did not enjoy having to guard German SS. He felt there was no justice for those that were murdered. I never realize how this experience impacted him until recently.

It is nothing short of a miracle that this dear gentleman could live beyond the horror of these events. The memories would have killed the spirit in most individuals.

[@alicjaverplancken5152]

I cried throughout the whole testimony. Bless this good man, we will never forget!

[@MrsAi84]

My heart broke for this man as he described getting beat so bad u can see the pain in his eyes and hurt in his voice. May god bless this man.

[@manuela_esse]

Thank you Mr Mosberg for your testimony... each one I've seen in the last week was moving but yours had something that will remain with me for a long time. Thank you so much to you and all the other holocaust survivors for keeping the new generations informed of this dark page of history

[@juliewillard6932]

Heartbreaking watching the painful memories and those his wife also continues to endure. We won’t forget, I’m teaching my son about what happened so he won’t forget either. Thank you for your detailed recollection.

[@francesmorris3797]

I have watched hundreds of these testomonies but this one has moved me beyond any one of the rest,I agree wholeheartedly with him that we should never forget ,I know I wouldn't forgive.God Bless him and his family.

[@suzanneanderson6921]

Thank you can't express what I am truly feeling right now. To share your experiences is beyond brave. Thank you sir. It has been my honor to watch and listen to your journey. I want to hug you and your beautiful wife. Blessings always. Again, thank you for your words. I will never forget them 💝

[@JW-yt7lr]

How wonderful it is that Edward Mosberg and his wife are still alive and able to tell the world their story about the atrocities of the Nazis in Europe in WW2. Such humility, honesty and strength, and a warning to the world today that we ignore the rise of facism at our peril . We should all read the words of Martin Niemoller and know that at any time it could be us.

[@Canuckmom128]

@J W I agree, wholeheartedly. Unfortunately there is a certain percentage of the human race that are easily corrupted by greed and power, and the same atrocities are perpetrated over and over again. You are right - people ignore History and Niemoller's words at their peril. I will add to that, the following: “Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.” John Stuart Mill, 1867

[@Indygirl9229]

This testimony left me shook, brokenhearted. How precious is this man and his wife!

[@kubanotatnik2081]

An honest Man who is not afraid to tell the truth.

[@MrsKastell]

What amazing tenderness this man shows to his wife. What love.

[@hadassahpeace4733]

What amazes me is his incredible memory of dates. I have incredible respect for his story. I pray he will meet all his family in heaven and finally have peace in his spirit. I know I will never forget.

[@dianawindrich8428]

Remarkable man. Full of hurt, loss and horror. But also a man full of love and tender care for his wife and family. After seeing many of these testimonies, this man really went straight to my heart. World, please be aware, humanity is still capable and is still doing these atrocities. Don' t let history repeat itself!!!!!

[@guffmanvansickle8386]

This precious couple! It's difficult to find words.... They deserve every good thing.

Thank you for the interview. He is very intelligent and true person. God bless him and his family. Yes, we will never forget, we will remember.

[@revitalsela4063]

Ed you are an amazing man. All the horrors you witnessed and went through, made stronger an able to build a new family. The way you love and take care of your wife is something amazing. You are an inspiration.

[@mariaelenaandrade8412]

[@MrsAi84]

I just love how he calls her kohanie and calls her mamusku , lalecko (baby doll) u can see how much he loves her. I just love that I can understand them when they speak to each other. Such a sweet couple. Awww may god bless her and heal her pain. He said every night she cries for her mother mamusha.

[@DopamineDecor]

Thank you for the testimony and for taking pictures Mr. Mosberg. Much respect.

[@jennb2521]

So powerful....thank you for sharing your story/experience. This will help ensure this doesn't happen again.

[@spottedbutt]

'only the dead can forgive' so incredibly sad😥

[@malgorzatastajszczak3017]

All testimony films are the best source to teach people how Holocaust is still remembered by survivors what happened years ago, how ideology of Nazi destroyed and murdered people but even though survivors showing us thouse painful retrospection as it would be yesterday..Our duty is to remember.Lord bless all victims.

[@JW-yt7lr]

Also....such sensitive and compassionate interviewing by Stephen Smith

[@addy9562]

My heart is breaking watching Mr. Mosberg with his wife.

[@ქოცებისმტყვნელი]

❤️❤️❤️God Bless you Edvard .

[@ilenekaplan109]

What a powerful testimony from this amazing man. May God bless him alway and let him continue giving his testimony to all who will learn and above all always remember.

[@lonnykalf4104]

[@shaunalea823]

[@kashesan]

God please bless this man and his sweet wife.

[@gwiazdkaznieba3737]

Brawo Panie Edwardzie i pozdrawiam z Polski 😚

[@plantbasednurse]

I cried through this video. My heart is also breaking for these beautiful souls and the hell they endured. Many of the same stories. Heart wrenching! We have to teach our children love and kindness. I pray that human beings can show compassion and love in our world instead of hatred. The horrific tragedies of this war lives on in many generations. God Bless these families.

[@gregardon]

how can you NOT FIX THE SOUND to so important document?

[@Albertwildhorseshoer]

This interviewer should have just let Edward talk instead of asking such abrupt question that segmented Ed's story into facts, instead of facts and feelings, recollections that lifted to the top of Ed's memories.

[@TheAnthoula14]

It's too bad Mr. Mosbeg is a little hard to understand because his story is clearly amazing. I googled him and from what I gather, he is still alive, Thanks USC Shoah foundation for recently updating the survivor videos with improved sound and picture quality.

[@Bluuve]

Yes, he is still alive --if you notice the date of the interview ---it was only last month and this is September in 2019.

[@magnolia3521]

He recently has blood cancer but he is not afraid to die...

[@F_Tim1961]

@@magnolia3521 ..and you think he and his family want his recent medical history placed on the internet for all to view. ?

[@dc3011]

Tim F you are unreasonable. This man is telling his whole raw ordeal. You think ppl knowing he has blood cancer would bother him? Get a life.

[@annm9589]

Lovely testimony, how he and his wife endured may we never forget. I do wish to understand how he had photos. I can only assume they were in apartments he went back to after the war.

[@josedacosta9847]

This man had a good angel, who saved him many times!

[@lindadarcy7021]

Heart breaking story, what a lovely amazing man, but the guy doing the interview is annoying because he is not listening, and repeating questions, the people who do the interviews are too amateur, why cant they let the people tell their stories without them interrupting with silly questions,

[@magnolia3521]

Long live this man..

[@ridcomics9364]

Those were indeed very dark times, hopefully we will never have to live through what these people did in our times.

[@angelinaanderson481]

This family is fantastic and so very positive. I love what your sweet daughter termed, “Radical Peace”. I will use this term and think of your family and your story. 😉

[@Rinachiyya]

What a amazing man. Thank you for speaking out and telling your story! I hope more people will see this important video. May Hashem watch over you and keep you safe!

[@rachelenglish1032]

God bless you! After what the jerks did.longlife to you

[@lizhart1526]

such a nice people.

[@erinketchie751]

Beautiful couple ..

[@roadiern]

What is the movie he refers to at about 2 minutes or was it 2 hours?

[@mariekatherine5238]

Same age as my mother.

[@mariesanche9507]

So terrible torture and suffering.......But the Lord Jesus said : Forgive us our trespass AS WE FORGIVE OURSELF TO OTHERS My God put Forgiveness in his heart before He pass away...in Eternity!

[@charlottemuller2233]

He is hard to hear!!

[@dorisc8604]

He is a great man and good that can teach us about the WWII now that our President want to do with the Mexican.

[@vasiledaniel1403]

offffffffffffff...

[@danwilliams4940]

He says hes not afraid? That was the only lie out of his lips. His arory hits me hardest. I feel bad for siding with nazis but not racism . racism stupid

[@lindataylor3834]

You side with nazis?

Thank you for the interview. He is very intelligent and true person. God bless him and his family. Yes, we will never forget, we will remember.
