This is the best recount of those horrific years! Everyone should watch these 2 parts!

[@jdrex6473]

MAGNA BLOOM PASSED AWAY IN 2011, HER TESTIMONY TO ME IS ONE OF THE BEST DETAILED AND CONSICED. R.I.P. MS. BLOOM.

[@malindyo]

She certainly was one of the most detailed and talkative survivors. She was very cheery and likeable.

[@hannahrosa5485]

Mrs. Bloom is about the age of my Mother who is now 87. Both beautiful women on the inside. RIP dear lady..................here we are in 2020, in North America and our government is killing our elderly and infants in utero and newly born. I'm glad she didn't live long enough to see this.

[@willfade7994]

You should listen to the Kitty Hart-Moxon interview as well. It’s well worth the 8 hours (2 videos).

[@nataliemeenakshithegreat7780]

Rest in peace gorgeous woman

[@MichelleSchneidmann-no2gl]

What a lady she was

[@martharoark4982]

She has the kindest voice. I am so sorry this happened. Lest we forget or it will happen again. Rest in peace.

[@janpierzchala2004]

Like angel speaking about devil

[@brendalandes1813]

The interviewer should have done some homework about the Holocaust Also Magda said earlier that her father had been killed in a minefield, and she didn’t remember.,! She asked her if her father was with them. She always asked about the colors of the uniforms, Magda is amazing,,, ! She deserved a better interviewer.

[@oskarsmom7552]

I agree! I’m working my way through these heartbreaking interviews and it’s so difficult to concentrate when the interviewer is interrupting or more concerned with their questions than really listening and keeping track. This one is bad.

[@heidijohnes7400]

Yes she kept asking about the colors of the uniforms, but she never asked anything about the 85 children have survived the Holocaust and were sent to england. Or many other important questions.

[@abdussattar4881]

Amazing testimony! Such an eloquent loving lady. G-d Bless her family and her. No words can apologize for all the evil done in this time period in history. Unbelievable! So young to have had to endure so much!

[@zulmabontiffe487]

Too bad the audio was very low. I understantd that at that time the equipment used was what it was. I'v listend to MANY testamonies of the survivors of that MONSTEROUS time and this one has been the longest so far . She did not miss sharing what she witnessed and lived through. She was spared by the GRACE OF GOD ALONE so she could tell the world her story. She was VERY PRETTY , her skin was flawless. THANK YOU MAGDA.

[@lorijohnson1320]

Magda is such a sweet and articulate lady. Her story is so powerful and touching. She came through these horrible experiences with her strength of character and sweetness of spirit intact. I have heard many of these testimonies but Magda is such a special and wonderful lady. Magda, you are such an inspiration to me and I wish I could have met you. It was such a privilege to hear your story. ❤️🌹🌹❤️

[@colleenillsley7759]

I respect & admire this brave, articulate & beautiful lady. I cannot imagine being a teenager in such horrific circumstances. Still she came away from this unspeakable inhumanity & despicable treatment & somehow built a life. Her graciousness & care for her family are to me strong evidence that good can overcome evil! What a remarkable story!!

[@cherylmccarthy2932]

I am so blessed to have had the opportunity, all these years later, to listen to Mrs. Magda Bloom’s testimony of what happened to her and her sweet family during the Holocaust. She is an inspiration and a guiding light in that her message is one of surviving horrible circumstances and having the strength to go forward without her family. While building her life in England, she shared her experiences when invited to do so In order that WE NEVER FORGET. My thanks to Mrs. Bloom, the interviewer, Steven Spielberg, and the USC Shoah Foundation Institute.

[@sarahramsel1108]

What a beautiful soul she was. May God bless her and her family.

[@oskarsmom7552]

What a lovely lady. I wish the interviewer didn’t interrupt her so much.

[@marianacohn5908]

Excelent testimony and what a good memory! And after só many years she speaks a perfect Hungarian.

[@ronscottparks]

I was so moved hearing Magda Blooms. Her experiences are one of the most detailed and articulate that I have heard. I cried many times hearing about the time in Aushwitz and Bergen Belsen. Anyone that has not lived through the experience cannot really understand the horror and degradation that she and her mother endured. God bless her.

[@achord9204]

My dad was there in aushwitz, birkenau, melk,mauthausen and ebensee I wouldn’t set foot in Germany and France for collaborating

[@gazelson4545]

What a wonderful lady. She seems to me the type of woman you could tell anything to but also have a good laugh and a joke with.

[@kellyself8479]

What a beautiful woman with such a detailed and chilling account of her experience! I wonder whatever happened to her family farm and estate? I am just fascinated with her strength and perseverance!

[@jodiutley7292]

This testimony is so heartbreaking and my condolences to her family.

[@Hundredacredaycare]

What a wealth of knowledge from this strong lady. God bless

[@karencallison1807]

Such heartbreaking memories to live with. I feel very sad that we have to live with people that have so much hatred and cruelty in there souls. To read the mean comments of some so called humans on these testimonies makes me sick and ashamed of them.

[@nevenagrue3023]

It means that humanity didn't learn the lesson! And that is very frightening to me :( And sad as well....

[@judyjudys2082]

What a lovely lady , I pray she has a high place in heaven ! How they kept their faith in God is beyond me , I love Our Lord but when all these horrific things going on around them , it would be so difficult , God bless them all !

[@bfhfhfhdj]

I am a gentile (actually an atheist) l but you are a wonderful woman, Your strength is extraordinary.

[@monatingbjr6636]

Courageous , wonderful woman ❤️

[@juliaturner6658]

Extraordinary woman

[@mrsj6548]

I hear the interviewer’s voice in my right ear and the survivor’s voice in my left ear using my wireless headphones. That might make a difference in the sound quality for people who are having trouble. But the volume is generally low.

[@hayley-hohoho]

The nazis truly are disgusting...treating people like this

[@Bigmannguyss]

Rest In Peace beautiful lady

[@amandablevins322]

Is the interviewer not listening? Everything she has asked she explained during her testimony

[@ohmyzeus966]

And she heavy sighs alot. And also interrupted Magda. I don't like the the interviewer at all. Very disrespectful.

[@juliaturner6658]

The interviewers should be irrelevant but when they interrupt a holocaust survivor four times in two minutes it gets to be a bit much.

[@Itsyahaidra]

💕Such a Lovely Woman, wish she have had a better interviewer. RIP

[@mskay949]

All of these stories have poor sound, I have my volume up as loud as it will go and I can barely hear it.

[@rescuepetsrule6842]

You can buy a speaker for as little as $20- mine works well.

[@seekingtruth1060]

What a beautiful sweet lady!

[@vickyg7377]

Magda don't look at all Jewish, anyway I like her personality and she is such a sweet person .

[@bellaadamowicz8380]

What does it mean, she doesn’t look Jewish ? Is that supposed to be a compliment ? ? And if she would have a black eyes and black hair she would look Jewish ? 🤮

[@leedunbar419]

@@bellaadamowicz8380 P

[@renerupolo]

I can only hear interviewer = Magda's voice is not loud enough. Too bad as her story is so interesting. Can you do anythinh about the sound?

[@Danarchy3]

If you listen to this with headphones the interviewer is in the right side but Magda is in the left side. Maybe that’s why she was so low. Hope this helps

[@markanthony976]

She is a gem ,would have been a hotsie totsie in her day

[@marekdudek]

I dont know but every woman got somthing in faces that thing touch the beaty of woman cant explain.

[@juliaturner6658]

🖤🖤🖤

[@lorijohnson1320]

The interviewer is so useless with her constant interruptions and pointless questions. I don’t know how many times she asked Magda what color uniforms the solders wore. What difference does it make? Let people tell their stories without interruptions. An interviewer is not really needed.

[@amyschwebke4007]

I have to agree, the interviewer is not good, annoyingly so! Magda is someone that you turn on the camera and then leave her be, except for camera breaks. The questions the interviewer would ask, totally messed up the flow of what Magda was talking about. Uniform colors - Really? Celebrities? Magda is an amazing woman!

[@willfade7994]

I agree. Corinne Oppenheimer is the annoying interviewer. How ironic. Look up that name in relation to the Holocaust! I suffered through all 8 hours just to hear Magda’s story and I suffered through 8 hours of this horrible interviewer to hear Kitty Hart-Moxon’s story. That one’s even harder because the interviewer seemed drunk or heavily medicated and was so ridiculous, even Kitty got frustrated.

[@dhss333]

The war of 1948, you silly, unread interviewer!

[@KathyB70]

She said her father died at age 5 of TB, then as we go on she said he died clearing mines, which is it?

[@BeckBeckGo]

She refers to two different dads. Her biological dad and her stepdad. Both died.

[@theresabraddock9310]

The first 35 mins was 'I heard' 'we heard' to answer the questions of the interviewer. nothing that she actually saw herself although she would say 'yes' to the question it was always followed by 'we heard I heard'. the interviewer was louder than the survivor and talked over her many times. if the interviewer would let her talk and tell her own experiences it would be less annoying because the survivor was very lovely but giving the annoying interviewer what she wanted not what she experience. Im talking about the first 35mins! I couldnt watch more

[@deborahbrentnall2019]

Where do they get the interviewer's from. Don't interrupt !!! Who cares what colour uniforms the monsters had.

[@MarilynMayaMendoza]

Hi Janelle, Fun tag from Alice! I’ve been hearing a lot about crooked house today and I think I might buy the book to add to my collection. I think ordeal of innocence is a cold case. I am reading that next. I don’t know how many Agatha Christie’s I’ve read but if I don’t remember it at all I probably didn’t read it a half a century ago😊 I think Hercule Poirot My favorite detective but I have a lot of runners up. Aloha

[@jmckendrick165]

I wonder what she would think of Zionism in 2024.

[@annapomelo3818]

In only one moth of malnutrition we can loose our periods. I am not sure about if the germans would have invested in the bromine treatment if women lost their periods naturally anyways. Bromine was used to calm hysteria patients for a shot period of time. I am very interrested about any data about the use of bromine in kz´s.

[@rescuepetsrule6842]

I was never malnourished but I was skinny when I was young, and used to go for months at a time with no cycle- Bromide was never seen in any camp.

[@djpanda255]

I have heard several accounts of people turning completely gray headed in moments, due to the horror and stress of arriving at camps, even beard hair. And, also, a 10 year old child turning completely gray. Stress and fear can biologically affect the human body. Along with malnutrition, this could be the cause of women not having menstrual cycles.

[@ronscottparks]

Why should this matter at all. Listen to her story.

[@terrieormonde2340]

​@ronscottparks Amen, what do they know she lived it. They should keep quiet, who cares what they heard or think about these details, talk to to wind, if you must people maybe you'll hear yourself!!! Rip Magda Bloom rests in the arms of the Lord.☝🏻🫶 🫴🕊🤲🏻
