Jewish Survivor Gloria Lyon Testimony Part 2 | USC Shoah Foundation

[@AT-yn5uf]

This is the sweetest lady that i have listened to!! Just a beautiful soul!!

[@ednavita5143]

Thank you so much for sharing your life experiences and suffering with us. Your memory is so clear and the details are so vivid❗ it is heart breaking listening to your long struggle as a young girl who was separated from her dearest mother and sister. What a fortitude, what a great will to live on and refusal to surrender. Thank you for mentioning the employee in the factory who left his bread for you, and the French women who helped the Jewish prisoners.. in Ruvensbruck. It is heart worming to know that in the middle of so many attrocities exist still gestures of kindness. Thank you again so much , I will cherish your words hoping to live a better life.

My thanks to Mrs. Gloria Lyon for sharing the intimate details of her incarceration during the Holocaust on the sole grounds of being Jewish. I do not know if Mrs. Lyon is still with us as it is 2020 but her testimony is as relevant today as when she was interviewed in the late 90s. I am honored to have the privilege of hearing her testimony. Mrs. Lyon’s time in multiple concentration camps was horrible, beginning when she was 14 years old yet she survived and made a wonderful life. Everyone should hear her testimony!

[@mercedespadilla8288]

It is a great honnor for me to personaly know a remarkable lady with courage. A wonderful woman whose love for her family kept her alive and survived from a horrible tragedy. God bless you, Mrs.Gloria Lyon

[@ceciliagonzalez7010]

Thank you for all your work. I’m catholic and apalled of these crimes. I can’t belive how people dos not do anything knowing what was going on. I will never forget. You are a wonderful person. I hope your story reaches millions of people. Your testimony is very important. Bless you. From Chile.

[@kikcta]

what an extraordinary woman. what an amazing testimony!

[@grahaminkpen5436]

Remarkable, remarkable lady, I have been transfixed to my screen for 6 hours, all sorts of emotions hitting me. I can’t put any more words.

[@chriseliot336]

This woman makes my heart Happy from her positive spirit. No wonder that Swedish family wanted to adopt her! God bless her and the other thousands 🙏

[@sparty2761]

It's difficult to watch these testimonies - the brutal treatment.

[@karihand4101]

What a beautiful lady inside & out! It amazes me how someone could live through the horror of those concentration camps & come out “unscathed”... what I mean by that she is not bitter, hateful & angry... yes, there are still residual side effects because you cannot forget that horror, but it has only motivated her to share her testimony of what “happens” when people become “victims” because they are “singled out” on the basis of religion, skin color & ancestry “to hate”... Is such a remarkable woman, so articulate & so gracious & loving! Well worth hearing!

[@testtube43]

Thank you so much, you are still helping people with your testimony, even those of us who are not Jewish and were not alive during the war, your articulate story will always stay in my mind.

[@loricook6331]

What a privilege to hear the gracious soul share her story. God bless her and her family.

[@toast47624]

I am not Jewish, but I have now watched a few of these Testimonies now. I find them fascinating and just can’t stop watching. It really brings home how horrific and traumatising it must have been. Sadly I believe without doubt this could all happen again. I’d like to think those guards have been traumatised by their own actions till the day they died.

[@janetstolero1361]

Ok

[@atimogan2600]

May the Lord God bless and comfort all who survived these horrors. THE WORLD SHOULD NEVER GO THROUGH THIS anymore. Thank you for bringing us these accounts.

[@zxy78267]

I know my comment comes very late, but I'm curious about how you feel about the current political climate we have now. I am very concerned about the hatred and violence that's happening.

[@toast47624]

@@zxy78267 YT are very very sensitive about this comment section. They have deleted 2 of my replies so far. We all know how this ends up. We are reliving the same play book with a modern twist right now. I think its about 1937 in the timeline. We will be shuffled into ghettos soon and then onto rail cars, metaphorically speaking. We all know what comes after that and if you look around it is already happening. It was obvious to me back then. Here we are.

[@angelasnodgrass6621]

I do love the twinkle in your Dad’s eyes. Thank you for sharing your story and your family. I am so glad you lived. You are an extraordinary person. Your family should be extremely proud of you.

[@freespeechforall1069]

Thank you for informing us about the horrors that many people suffered. May the people never forget what human beings inflicted on fellow human beings.

[@alanthiercelin5218]

Steven Spielberg should make a movie about this woman.

[@harrynking777]

It would be interesting to know how her mother and other family members survived. I think it is very sad that she wasn't able to see her mother ever again even though she survived.

[@kevinwees3101]

I love hearing this women's testimony. She had a wonderful life.

[@zulmabontiffe487]

I was not born yet when this happend and this testimony from an eye witness is the BEST interview I have heard. The person doing the interview did not interrupt her as I have heard others do, but allowed her to tell her story as she did . I cried when she cried. MY heart goes out to her and to alll those who lived through this horrible time that might still be alive and thier families. There is NOTHING "FACINATING "about this time in history, and if we are not careful, it COULD happen AGAIN.... it only took 1 man .

[@whitestar49]

What a Beautiful Soul !

[@lydiax55]

what a lovely lady, this was an exceptionally long testimony, but i was immersed in every bit of it

[@elizabethtesta1556]

This is awesome God blessed her. May he continue to do so.

[@RJisBack24]

Such an elegant softspoken articulate lady.

[@margaretroselle8610]

A most fascinating testimony! So many thanks for sharing. God’s richest blessings on the Nation of Israel.

[@amandablevins322]

This lady is a genius! She must speak 6 different languages From being in 3 different high schools in 3 different countries How amazing

[@judyromano7788]

Amazing story. I got chills just listening to her. I can’t imagine going through something like that. I visited Auschwitz last year, it was very sombre. I can’t believe the evil that happened there and how dehumanised they were. I don’t think I would have survived. Even seeing movies of Nazis terrifies me. She was lucky to survive being a 14 year old girl.

[@johanrahan3189]

What a remarkable woman !!!

[@jacquelinea3358]

Mrs. Lyon is one of the best, most engaging witnesses in the Shoah Foundation series. She is a wonderfully lively and upbeat storyteller. She is very clear about the tragedies and traumas, but you get the picture of this woman's optimism and strength. Her survival was part determination but also a big part luck, as many other Holocaust survivors have testified. This was really true as her SS captors' actions became more chaotic in the waning days of the war. "They were going to kill me but then they gave me food. Then they beat me unconscious and were killing me again. I came to, finally, and was traveling on a regular train (not a cattle car) with a German voice telling me I was lucky because I was free." I paraphrase her speech but that's the gist of it. How fortunate for all of us that Shoah compiled these invaluable testimonies and made them available to anyone to watch and listen. God bless every interviewer and survivor. And God bless Mrs. Lyon who survives today. Her spirit and resilience is awe-inspiring.

[@fatimakratohvil6904]

watch,pay attantion,learn and prevent,Evil is Universal thing,every epoch is karakterised by oppression over certain group of people ,so anyone could find himself a victim of evil. learn the signs and act responsible in PREVENTING IT. I'm also not Jewish but I feel and deeply respect what this beautiful people share with us. Peace,Shalom💖💙

[@agnieszkawojcik7667]

Beautiful human being, I admire you so much.

[@penniesfromheaven9724]

Was Gloria ever able to see her mother after the war? I think I missed something. Gloria is such a precious person.

[@MsBernadetteblack]

The movie of the doctors book is called (Out of the Ashes )

[@christinalock9937]

To have lived Gloria's life! Would be unimaginable, I'm so happy she has another generation who has lived.may God bless and guide her family future history.

[@djholliday4413]

Mrs. Lyon gives such a vivid & moving testimony of survival. It always astonishes me how loving & peaceful Shoah survivors are, after suffering so much. Mrs. Lyon is appreciative & proud of the freedom afforded in America. We must never take freedom for granted. Now, more than ever, we must stand against oppression, racism & persecution. 🇺🇲🙏🏻🇮🇱❤

[@Surviver-e2o]

No wonder why your sweet parents named you Gloria! You were born to win and over come.

[@amandablevins322]

I just love the pictures! Especially the one of her Dad. He looks so confident and stylish.; As if he was ready for a new life. I’m so glad she was able to have a good life after the war. Her testimony made me laugh, cry and shocked. I appreciate her will to live. She’s done more in one life time than some could in 3. Her granddaughter Elana looks is much like her mother. Her grandsons look like her brothers.

[@gyorgyakos9618]

A great stroy teller. Nice listening to (not what she tells, which is horrible but how she tell it..) Glória - Isten áldja!

[@shafur3]

So very sad. She speaks so well. Pretty and strong Lady.

[@meninkilts-victoria2062]

I had the pleasure of staying at the Bed and Breakfast run by her and her husband, Karl, with my partner and kids a couple years ago. She truly is a beautiful soul! Love that lady.:-) A great couple. BTW, her husband Karl, a lawyer, was one of the people responsible for saving the SF Cable cars.

[@deborahdavis8680]

Even though I don't know this wonderful lady, I just adore her. There is something in her spirit that shines through; that makes me want to be best friends with someone like her. I love the way she tells about her being on a bike with a live chicken; it felt good to chuckle. Hearing about all she and others had to endure brought tears to my eyes and I actually found myself shaking my head and trying to stop the crying that threatened. Thank you, God, for bringing so many people out of the hell they went through. I believe in God, in Jesus and in the Holy Spirit, but I have Jewish heritage as well. I truly believe God is love and He is not behind the evil that happened.

[@marieanderson2596]

Thank you!

[@Surviver-e2o]

Let the world not forget what happened. Never forgotten!

Her mom looks like my grandma. By the way her name was Anna( Anushka), If I get a photo I will post it,

[@nataliemeenakshithegreat7780]

Am I the only one who like this shame on you you who did not like this incredible video long life to Gloria Karl and their family I still don't know what whappened to Gloria's mother

[@2011birch]

She was very consistentc telling her story.

[@ceciliagonzalez7010]

I have no predigidice of jew people of any other. I think that people gelous of your inteligence, unity and great skills. Your faith and endurance make you be respectable.

[@totalammnesy]

Very poise testimony. She didn't say it but "She's done all camps"?... I can imagine the wisdom she acqired coming out of such ordeals. One can explain what's like to go down a roller coaster but it can't be the real thing. I wanted to state that I took good note when she said that she an opportunity to migrate in Israel and later said that she read that there was a commotion in Palestine. No matter what, homosapiens forget what's it like to be expulsed from home from a generation to another.

[@777frogster]

I wish the organisation would train their interviewers in how to be more respectful to these distinguished individuals whose stories they are privileged to be hearing... I find it so embarrassing sometimes, to hear them cut in and ask something else when the interviewee is in the middle of sharing something important to them, or just move on abruptly to the next question with no recognition of the answer the interviewee has just given or the emotion it has been given with.

[@gyorgyakos9618]

Watch the ohers! This is a vewry polite and considerate interviewer!

[@joellenjohnson4038]

A wonderful beautiful strong woman

[@pinalace6815]

Does anyone know the name of the documentary she made ? Thank you!

[@moleisrich1]

Love her

[@nataliemeenakshithegreat7780]

I wish you had gone after the war to hold your mother in your arms this really hurts me to know that you did not go to see your mom and never held your mom after the camps that iam not happy this makes me sad

[@jimkey920]

An intersring memoir of Gloria's experience as an inmate of the German Lager System. I do feel that some of her memories are merged within her research. However she was within the killing machine! God Bless You Gloria!

[@judithderington-mcconnell6437]

Increase the volume!

[@nataliemeenakshithegreat7780]

I can't believe they cut gloria off as she was still speaking Anyway the interviewer was rude we can hear her touching her noise Grambling complaining ordering I don't like this interviewer

[@anamartins3223]

Unbelievable hell.

[@deecawford]

I was hoping there was a part 2 for her horrible life events. I wanted to hear her story. Please let us not ever repeat this.

[@mootar1]

I wonder if her mother made it out with the diamond?

[@revitalsela4063]

I wondered what happened to her mother and sister that helped them survive in general

[@joannativcheva3389]

She didn't, they surprised them with an inspection, so she had to drop it in the dirt while taking her clothes off. Forget the diamond, she was lucky to survive it , it was quite brave nonetheless.

[@RamonaRayTodosSantosBCS]

Good ole DDT! Lol I've been fumigated with it many times-the hand of God was covering Gloria for some reason- every step of the way you witness this! All the way to the day she meets her husband who crashed the birthday party!

[@sandramelvin7123]

The interviewer is clueless.

[@Surviver-e2o]

And Rude. She only thinks what question going to ask while the beautiful lady gracefully putting her words

[@sheripacori2097]

Only God can change this system. Man cannot direct his own step without his guidance. God has a plan for righteous mankind everlasting life in a paradise earth. This was his original plan which he will fulfill soon.

What you did kot see your mom after the war only 1u years after that's wrong and sad
