Many thanks for the humbling privilege of listening to your testimony. I will never forget.

[@teemarie5478]

I’m so glad y’all made these interviews.

[@janroach1852]

I am sure you were a comfort to your mother because most teenage girls are very difficult. I am so glad you found happiness again when you had your own daughter and I hope you have many grandchildren. Riveting story.

Hi

[@charau5104]

This woman is amazing. Such a strong person. 💗

[@ilenekaplan109]

Wanted to add another comment- my heart breaks for her that she lost her precious daughter and her grandson. Life can be so unfair.

[@kikcta]

very very impressive testimony.her words about her mother are impressive

[@ilenekaplan109]

Wonderful and heartfelt testimony given by this lovely woman. So happy she survived and made it to the United States and made a new life for herself. God bless her always.also happy that she was greeted so warmly by her cousins.

How to move on in life after an "adolescence" like that? Testimony to human resiliency and the evil that is perpetrated in people because of their prejudices. So grateful for this testimony.

[@chrissims3810]

Thank you for your testimony.

[@kevinwees3101]

I love hearing about her life. Even though I am not Jewish.

[@moniquemonicat]

But we are one human family!

[@pennymiller3842]

Thank you for your incredible story.

[@gyorgyakos9618]

I had to listen very carfully to this softspoken symphatetic lady but it was worth it! A very ineresting tesimony Thank you.

[@st.charlesborromeo9793]

I like her manner. Good to listen.

[@madhudean769]

Very heartbreaking! I wish the volume was louder

[@TheAmandahc]

If you can do listen using earphones they are not expensive and will give you excellent reception.

[@husnaakhan7538]

I thank her for talking her testimony means so much may every innocent person toured and killed by those horrible camps and those nasty nazis and by any hate and terrorism go to to heaven and may got punish those who did it to them they can go to hell it's just horrible

[@tinabondurant3322]

I marvel and am thankful to hear of so many times God rescues and keeps Rochell safe.

[@raes6829]

Danka was an angel on earth!❤️

[@ilovefredreika]

So inspiring the blessed woman Donka, who took care of them.

[@annatruiz]

Does anyone know what UPA was? Just wondering?

[@cathygrant1164]

I wish I could hear this better

[@annatruiz]

Ma’am, if you hate it in Russia, so like why did you come to Poland? Just quick question

[@maryrosed8475]

So sad.

[@jeffreywainer6113]

Im so amazed you lived 7 lifetimes in one what a gripping story i couldnt pull myself away , wherever you are i wish you joy and peace

[@miriamsheff3]

The worst interviewer I ve heard so far. She wasn’t paying attention to what the subject was saying. You can see that at the end of the interview

[@husnaakhan7538]

Condolences to all affected by any genocide or act of terrorism. Never again the the innocent musims right now in Xinjiang people put it camps never again .

[@cindyhalpern3187]

This comment doesn't belong here.

[@trishayamada807]

Forcing religion on your children is not freedom.

[@virginiaboone8163]

What do you mean by forced? Are you referring to cults and such. I was brought up in a Christian home but nothing was forced on me.

[@Ladybird1967]

Religion is important to learn but the way she describes this is wrong. Being Jewish isn’t the only important religion to learn. Spiritual beliefs are important but being Jewish vs Agnostic is not the same thing. Just be a good person.

[@cindyhalpern3187]

Stop judging people!

[@Ladybird1967]

@@cindyhalpern3187 No judgement just stating a fact but if I was judging it’s human to do so just like you did with me

[@virginiaboone8163]

If your heritage is Jewish, then Judaism is the most important religion to learn. If it’s Christian, then Christianity is the most important, if Muslim then Islam most important and so on. This does not exclude being exposed to and learning about other religions so that you can be understanding and tolerant of others. If you are agnostic or an atheist, learn to respect the religious beliefs of others.

[@finnfo4]

I believe Rochelle said to each his own religious beliefs, not that her beliefs were most important.

[@guffmanvansickle8386]

The interviewer's mouth hardly moves when she talks (seen in first couple of minutes of video). Odd.

[@TheAmandahc]

and this is somehow worth a mention about listening to this dear ladies experiences?

[@wandagorte8958]

I liked this interviewer. She did not constantly interrupt or ask for spellings and was respectful. I have watched many of these testimonials and this interviewer was one of the best.
