Claire is such an amazing / smart / strong / beautful women . Thank you for sharing . It's a shame that she never gave me a chance

[@paulvanhelmond3104]

Thank you for sharing your story!

this is so sad. i am amazed at the resilience of ppl

[@ednavita5143]

What a wonderfull woman. I was captivated by the authenticity of her fragmented memories. As a child she lived unthinkable experiencees if dread. It was moving to hear how sensitive she was towards her mothy, her strong wish to crawl away but the thought about leaving he mother alone..... I think it was unfortunate that the interviewer talked so much and did not let her narrate more freely. She interfere so many times........

[@vincentmancini6279]

You may be right but this is one of the few "interviewers that knew how to "read and write" an expression that I made up. Figure it out!

[@Lilac914]

Can you imagine spending several months day and day out in a pitch black hole, where you couldn’t even sit up? Incredible resilience this lady has...

[@mountaingirl6479]

I feel for Jonathan - hard to be put on the spot and verbalize your feelings on camera. This is before social media where people are used to telling all their life and feelings and thoughts. I admire him for being willing to even be on camera in 1996 and be a part of this important work. God bless this whole family!!!

A like, not because it is fun but as a serious reminder 🙏

Beautiful woman and family! I was raised in Sunnyside! I lived on 40 Street and 47 Avenue. Then on 41 Street and 48 Ave. I wonder if she went to Ps 199 and Ps 125 .

this is my aunt

I am sad for Jonathan. My daughter likely feels the way he does. As a second generation, I overburdened my daughter.

[@maryellwood3653]

Yes, it's as if he stops himself from saying exactly what he feels out of respect for his parents feelings and past. He knows how much they have suffered and it's as if he feels he can't complain and doesn't want to, but he seems stifled

[@cherylkedzior]

Cant hear :(

[@petertotaro4283]

She is absolutely a beautiful, wonderful person! Very articulate and well statues!

[@suzannejones5992]

I hope that now the holocaust is so well known about that children of the survivors can be more comfortable and understanding of their parents.

[@faithdavis4453]

She is stunning.

[@frenchartantiquesparis424]

Yes, she is gorgeous!

[@susane4078]

The challenging part in listening to this interview is that the interviewer obviously knew something of this person's story beforehand. Therefore, when she is interviewing her, we miss part of the story because both of them think we already know that information..The before the war story is patchy, at best. Thanks

[@MsCValentiner]

+Susan Evers Yes, it's quite annoying when you're used to the very minimal interruption in the other interviews. And so much of the interruption is unnecessary, for instance: Claire: "And then we went back to the village and...." Interviewer interrupts: "Your mother took you back to the village." Well, duh, that's what she already said! It's unfortunate that we don't get to hear Claire just talk without being interrupted, sometimes even after just talking for a half-minute.

Superhero 🎉🤍💙

[@funone2312]

clearly she was to young to remember much.

[@harrywilson404]

I can just imagine going through what she did and then playing with barbie dolls!

[@patriciacabrera3101]

Please stop the spelling thing!

[@James-os2eg]

The boy can't complete let alone state a intellectual thought.

[@funone2312]

the last part was very awkward and not sure why.

[@sariboren9978]

Maybe consider a little compassion for a young man put on the spot to talk about how having two parents as Holocaust survivors affected him. It affected his entire life. He could have spouted some nice platitudes, but that's not who he is. And because the answer is so complex, he had trouble expressing himself.

[@amycecil9689]

Uncalled for comment James. He didn't want to hurt his parents, but obviously their experiences impacted his life growing up.
