What a wonderful man, he did very well to exist in such horrific circumstances. Intuitive, powerful.

[@meghanfraser1728]

He is amazing. Thank heavens he took control of the interview whilst still letting her feel in charge. Alot of times I find the interviewers from this Shoah foundation, so much as, take away from the Interviewee; not this one. I don't want this testimony to end.

[@margaretroselle8610]

I do appreciate being able to listen to these extremely important testimonies. This one is excellent.

[@janroberts8805]

I am completely in awe of Dr Rudolph. What a wonderful person. I wish I could have met him. How could so many people be so utterly cruel. This is one of my very favourite holocaust interview. Thank you, Jana

Love and light to you from Poland ❤

I listened the this very lovely gentleman, he is a man to be respected. I am appalled at the picture posted of him. Very disrespectful! Please take the time to listen to his story, it is riveting.

[@wildalbalass4867]

Huge respect to you Sir! I’ve listened to very many of these testimonies. This is one of the ‘best’ to hear. Clear and concise details. Many thanks for this.

[@marcot5386]

To this Gentleman, his family, and the many other survivor interviews here i have had the honour to listen to, It is through watching these accounts that i have learnt what perspective is when i think my life and daily decisions are/were hard, even gaining perspective and benefiting from your stories leaves me with some shame, that it was through someone's burden, Incredible story's beyond modern imagination, which every person of age and background should absorb before they conceive of their trivial world of materials, celebrity's and their own self absorbed limited ideals, worthy of 120m views less 12,000 Thank you

Yes! What you said!!my feelings I couldn’t have exoressed

[@elanasomekh1125]

What an intelligent man, so prolific in his account of the trials and tribulations of his youth. I often wonder how these survivors managed to build their lives through so much scarcity, degradation, appalling conditions and most of all being stripped of their pride and dignity as constructive, decent human beings who contributed so much to the society they lived in. These treacherous murderers hardly got the retribution they deserved!

[@lourdesprudencio5647]

Why did she keep cutting off story about he and his wife? He really seemed to enjoy talking about that part of his life. I wish we could have heard about it.

[@elisabeth8798]

He is so charming, wise, kind and good! ♥️

[@winnietheshrew2957]

I'm a 57 year old German and I can't understand how anyone in their right mind can deny the Holocaust. Too bad the sound in many of the survivors' interviews is so low that I can only listen to them at night when it's very quiet outside. By the way: Where is the rest of the interview? Why is the end missing?

[@teemarie5478]

All these video testimonials truly fascinate me. It amazes me that they went through hell & back, they still picked up the pieces of their lives an became successful doctors, lawyers, & many other great careers. I thought I had a hard life but in reality, I didn’t go through nothing when I look at the bigger picture. I’m so grateful that he survived & prospered. I can’t imagine what their mental state is even so many years later.

[@tamararutland-mills9530]

Many of their own children consequently suffered the lasting psychological effects as well.

[@KF-cx8bm]

What a speaker and an amazing man, riveting from start to finish

[@carly8165]

This interviewer is very kind & patient unlike a lot of the others. I think they should just talk though it’s always more interesting when they talk freely & who cares about spellcheck geez

[@davidallen2026]

Carlye These are both video and written documentaries, so the proper spelling is a necessity for posterity sake. Live to understand things, use your brain for more than selfish reasons. The very best to you and yours.

I would like an explanation to why they didn’t record these videos on 60 or 90 minute video recording tapes.

[@smithpm81]

Having studied the holocaust over many tears, I am always touched by the personal testimonies... my heart bleeds for these poor people and what happened to them... the worst crime in history.... and the sick thing is that the nazis and their collabarators could carry out this crime against humanity. We must NEVER forget this part of history or it could be repeated. This should never happen again.

[@Snafuski]

I am amazed that this man must spekll so many ordinary words! He is amazing with that. Doesn't the interviewer know some of these?

[@angiebeal4027]

Is there a way to boost the sound. Most of these interviews are recorded too low to hear. Thank you

To much spelling

[@MrPickledede]

I really love these testimonies they are so important to listen to however I don't understand why there's a need for the interviewer to introduce the video and spell the interviewees name and then have the interviewee spell their own name it seems like they're treating them like they're in the first grade

[@juliabebe5218]

It makes it easier for archiving the footage, a lot of film productions do this, you just never see it in movies for instance :)

[@Fabby47]

I agree. It bothers me too.

[@helenajennings4912]

It's good to be able to spell the names properly i believe

[@sueannebrown2709]

Sometimes the interviewer will ask for the spelling of everything, not necessary! Also, not a good picture of this wonderful man in the captions! Take another one, he deserves tat, very handsome gentleman 👍

The most disturbing despicable crime of dismissing Jewish accomplishments in fields involving vast extremely challenging disciplines regardless of the obstacles and countries they resided in, the inaccurate act of ignoring Jewish accomplishments and genetic traits of intelligence and devotion to family and education, generosity and charity, the overall knack for accomplishments cannot be ignored or criticized, these people deserve enormous praise and the miserable defective monsters that possessed jealousy and resentment instead of respect and gratitude that should have inspired them to observe and emulate good principles and personal habits that might have resulted in very different outcomes, let us never forget the capacity of demented logic to captivate otherwise rational people and cause unthinkable cruelty to totally innocent people who were among the greatest contributors to sociatal growth and advancement for all humanity.may god bless each and every precious being that suffered at the hands of histories greatest display of disgusting disgraceful cruelty no amount of time should erase!!

These interviews are so boring and predictable. Every one I have seen had been the same. "Me and my family were so smart and successful. Everyone in a 20 mile loved me and my family. I could see the future. I saw it all coming." No one ever says anything negative about themselves. Always making themselves out to be the most perfect and flawless person. Way go live up to the stereotype guys.

What the hell is the point of all the spelling bee's? And the thumbnail picture? Cmon.
