I've watched over 70 of these so far. I must say this interviewer is the best I've seen.

[@SweetNSassy77]

I watch one every day but it’s hard to share with anyone else because everyone else wonders why I would want to listen to such horrific history and I tell them we must learn it and not forget

[@djholliday4413]

@@SweetNSassy77 Same here! My family doesn't understand my interest, and the connection I feel toward Shoah survivor testimony, and WWII history in general, as a 40 y/o American Christian mother of 3 & wife....but it deeply resonates with me. I have become educated on another level, and feel so much compassion. The testimonies of survivors, victims, liberators & defenders have impacted me greatly. I feel that it is so important to learn about. The effects of these events changed our world forever. ✌

[@VixCrush]

I've watched a bunch also. There are a few must watches out there. I want to Put together a guide of some sort. They are life affirming.

Franck Sherman is amazing too.

[@sineadmolloy4055]

Love how his command of the English language is so articulate. Better than English as ones fist language. It never ceases to amaze, how much the survivors have endured...and accomplished. An honor to listen to each and everyone’s, stories.

[@lcj8206]

Such a gentleman. Thank you for sharing your life story. God bless you.

[@fada7903]

Every testemony has taught me something. I wish my children would listen to at least one of them.

Thanks for telling your story Joseph Hausner. Brave man.

[@robertjosephs2629]

Yes he is..thats the spirit that solidified the country of Israel

[@karlchilders5420]

@usc shoa foundation I am SO glad you guys and gals went out and interviewed these fine people before they left us and were no longer ABLE to tell the tales they did themselves. As they pass into memory, we can NEVER forget what they went through, so that if it starts to happen again, we can RECOGNIZE it and hopefully stop it early before another shoah happens! Shalom Aleychem...

It’s happening now

What a lovely man. This was a great testimony, thank you.

[@johnforeman634]

These are the most compelling stories I’ve ever listened to. To know this actually happened to other human beings like myself is simply mind boggling. It’s hard to comprehend.

There is 2 parts to this interview. Both are so well done and his story is incredibly powerful.

Best interview, such an armonious conversation

[@christinanemcik6999]

The interviewer started out great and then got progressively more and more annoying as the interview goes on... these people deserve the utmost respect. Watch your tone lady.

[@blondeblythe]

I agree! So rude and disrespectful to this poor man who had endured so much hardship! :-(

[@hughiedavies6069]

I don't think her tone of voice will bother someone who has been through what he has been through..and I think she's being respectful by allowing these people to tell their stories. If he felt disrespected I'm sure he would be capable of letting her know. I'm grateful for all these incredible testimonies. Yes she could have said things in a nicer manner but it's the stories that are what really matter .

A truly remarkable man

[@SusuSu-lo4rs]

[@Snafuski]

Amazing man. I was stunned when he mentioned Kaufering. I lived near there for a while and used to stop by the small memorial off the road to Augsburg. There is a house nearby that is surrounded by barbed wire (like a KZ)) .... I took photographs. I had never heard of Kaufering, so I bought a book on the unknown camps, and there t was (Fischer Verlag).... and there, to my surprise, I found that this horrid camp was where many Hungarians had been brought to work on an airplane factory. And many died in the cold winter.

[@sope7563]

Iam from Buchloe, 7km from Kaufering, in Holzhausen, the next Village, maybe 4km from Kaufering, there is a kz-cemetery with a big Diagram full of information, at Mauerstetten, 25km from Kaufering was another Aussenstelle. In south Bavaria are many of these. I often wonder about my grandparents that lived here, they always told me that they knew nothing about! How could this be....you really had to shut your eyes on purpose

[@Snafuski]

@@sope7563 Thanky you for the response. I know Buchloe well, because my train from Mindelheim (I lived there once) stopped there (changeover sometimes)... I will have to check the rest out. We cannot forget these atrocities, not because of the guilt issue (which many of our German co-citizens get worried about), but because there is a bigger lesson to be learned here. For me, the idea of "master race" is no different from any racialist philosophy, including White Supremacy. It can lead to horrors. Wehret den Anfängen.... and people confusing the attempt by a democratically elected government to protect the society it was elected to protect with Nazism are a part of this problem. They are erasing the true causes for holocausts.

[@damonmelendez856]

@@Snafuskihow are those ‘New Germans’ treating you?

[@Snafuski]

@@damonmelendez856 Fine. I had wonderful neighbors, very good friends, and they are keenly aware of their history....Unlike some of my American compatriots, who are so deeply ignorant, it's enough to make one sick.

Cool dude I would be honored to call him a friend

[@cindyhalpern3187]

He looks like Anthony Hopkins. Joe is a very intelligent man. The interviewer was okay, better than most. His story was compelling to hear, he was a good Historian, but also provided his personal feelings as well. One of the better testimonies!

[@lorismith621]

I agree sometimes the interviewer does interrupt at times but she does ask some darn good questions as well She is volunteering as are all the interviewers from what I understand I am very appreciative to all involved

[@lilyfeng6598]

Nice to learn finally. When I was in school, most of the time we learned KMT and CCP a lot. The information about Europe was so limited. Our Chinese were killed thousands and thousands.

[@ceciliagonzalez7010]

I’m from Argentina. I’m catholic. I’m appoled of what happened during the second world war. I teach and talk about it with my children hoping these atrocities never happen again to nobody.

[@fernanditaluiz2591]

@Cecilia Gonzalez Hi Cecilia, I am just curious if any of the older generation in Argentina ever knew or spoke about Hitler living there? I heard that most/all locals knew, but they were scared.

[@ceciliagonzalez7010]

No, I never heard about it. I do know that many germans hid in Argentina,Chile and Brazil

[@lkj7296]

Fascinating, what a man. The interviewer is a kind woman but she cares too much about her own questions and not enough about his story. She cares too much about how she words her sentences and how she sounds.

Any time one group feels superior to anyone else it’s a terrible thing. We must all look deep within ourselves to clean out any unconscious prejudices (nationality, race, religion, sexual orientation) we might be carrying. These interviews make me appreciate all humanity. I’ve watched countless so far and every time my heart opens more to them.

2:17:45 I wish she would've asked what would've resulted had another prisoner relieved himself, by accident or intentionally, on your one loaf of bread or what remained of it? What if theirs was already gone? How would this have been dealt with?

[@deborahdean8867]

All of the audio is very low on all videos. I wish they would fix that. I have to have an earpiece to hear it.

[@MickGeorge-u6i]

Every time I read these testimonies. I fall apart. Why do people be so evil towards certain people? We’re all gods creation we’re all gods children how it happened. And I reminded that the devil outside is here, but I believe that good will overcome evil any day. And the key is love. Love one another crisis as I have loved you, be kind to everyone you don’t know their past these people suffered horrendous way, and they pulled through. Evil did not win something beautiful was turned out of something that was so tragic and my heart I really feel it and I’m so sorry this is ever happened, but we must never forget, God bless each and everyone of you. Thank you for your testimonies.
