I love you Oma! This is my great grandmother and I miss her dearly.

[@monatingbjr6636]

I can see that ❤️❤️❤️

You should be so proud!

@@simplyholistic8309 She must have been! As I said below she inspired me to get my license in Gemology. She proves we are never too old!

Hello there! I’m Rachel, the granddaughter of Ursel, (daughter of Hugo) her sister! Traute was my great aunt! I met her 2 times, what a wonderful woman!❤️😊

I am nearly 70 and it is now 2019 - people these days really must listen to this Lady and learn what morality, compassion and kindness really do mean.

[@MarkEliasGrant]

People have learned NOTHING. Atrocities still happen. Partisan and ethnic divides and national rivalries still tear people apart. NO ONE IS IMMUNE.

It’st

“We’re going to take a break now” Gertrud: “YOU WILL NEVER FINISH!” 😂😂 loved it

[@gingerht1]

Why in the world would this interviewer allow all that noise in the background?? Sounds like the door was left open on purpose. This interfered a lot for all of this to be heard. Makes no sense. This lady is very interesting and I strained to hear her.

[@rachelbabe2]

So proud, this strong wonderful woman is my great aunt! (My grandmother is her sister.) I just met her 2 times, she lived in the US, I live in the Netherlands, but she was so inspiring! I’m thankful het story is taped and on KZbin so I can hear her talk about our family history and everything they went through ❤️

[@RD-0101]

What happened to her little sister Ursula Doris??? She forgot to mention her! She only mentioned one sister who was in hiding with her mother, and one brother! Ursula died in a concentration camp???

[@rachelbabe2]

@@RD-0101 Ursela was my grandmother and survived the war in hiding!

[@RD-0101]

@@rachelbabe2 Oh I'm very glad that little Ursela has survived too! X

It's a very impressive story. We are the new owners of the house in Dordrecht where Gertrud Mainzer was hiding. If relatives are interested in visiting the hiding place: please contact us.

I'm so grateful for you and this motivating Story, an incredible opportunity to teach us how to appreciate Freedom. Thank you very much indeed for the interview. 💜

[@regeniaseeman2569]

We need to take care of our freedom.

[@jodiutley7292]

Brilliant suggestion she had of having two people interviewing,one survivor of a camp and one that was not in a camp.

[@mariekatherine5238]

This should have more than 37 viewers. If she were still alive, she’d be 107! Thank you for having the foresight to interview and record these!

[@mrbatman4robin]

Such selfless and honest wisdom.

[@emay3951]

What an amazing woman. Very grateful for this testimony and that it will live on and inspire generations.

An amazing woman, we can learn from her. Thank you for the her.

What a wonderful brave lady ❤

[@rescuepetsrule6842]

I'm 65 now and hearing Mrs. Mainzer's story I have decided to get my license (in a field that started as a hobby 40 years ago...). SALUTE Gertrud!

[@koelnkorrekt]

I found the name of Mrs. Mainzer in Keiji Kubo's biography of Hugo Sinzheimer. I regret that this book came back into my hands so late.

[@monatingbjr6636]

Never too late

[@edwardnewsome7200]

Brilliant woman

[@lindawilder3148]

Such an interesting and determined lady! I enjoyed this interview very much!

[@seemarajderkar3019]

Very touching storyof an incredibly brave woman, Gertrud Mainzer !! One point.... The audibility of the video is quite low. I wish English subtitles were added to this video

[@lizprofe6986]

what an amazing lady!!

[@joanvandermeer3240]

V interesting interview

[@brigidrumpf]

An inspiring and amazing woman!!! I wish I had known her 💖🙋

[@TruusvanEs]

All this woman wanted was being like her father and being a mother and wife was really not enough for her. I noticed her sudden opening up and smiling when she started talking about finally reaching her goal after all the hardship and complications. Completely different attitude. The death of her husband was mentioned but no more than that. There are no emotions when she talks about her family. Her not willing to retire was understandable. She had a great need to be heard and acknowledged and circumstances held her back for so long.

[@christinefougere1444]

this sounds like a really interesting woman but the background noise is so loud I can barely hear her, sounds like they are on a highway.

[@monatingbjr6636]

Listen 👂

[@janetta98]

-an amazing and very interesting woman!

[@tracey5893]

Loudness, I am so sorry to ask but is it possible the sound on most of these testimonies be repaired so we can here them?

[@joanflint7209]

I wonder that myself

[@eulogossusan]

I think it must have been fixed because her voice now stands out very clearly from the background noise.

[@husnaakhan7538]

I thank them all for testimonies God love them and the other survivors and other innocents lost and god punish those who did those things . Choose love ❤
