Renata Zajman is such a strong, courageous, and beautiful survivor. I am blessed to hear her testimony. She is brutally honest & completely transparent about her life & her feelings. She does not sugarcoat herself or her family. She is so relatable. God bless her soul. An amazing woman.

I’ve heard many of the survivors experiences but Renata’s experience has truly touched my heart . Mainly because I found her to be so open , honest , brave & yet extremely family oriented. Such a humane woman. What a privilege for us to hear of her experience. If Renata or her daughter had written a book pl can someone let me know as I would dearly like to purchase it .

A virtual launch is planned for the latter part of May. It will be a virtual launch, emanating from England, with hook-ups to Montreal's Holocaust museum and my neighbourhood library (in a Montreal suburb) The memoir is published by Hobart Books (Oxford, England) and I give Mum credit as co-author.

Renata is one of the most eloquent, strong, humble survivors I’ve heard so far. Her testimony is riveting

[@misraersavas2443]

This lady’s interview and memories for some reason really touched me More than others. She describes some scenes and aspects of human nature and history in such a way that really makes you feel. The way she speaks and her body language tell that she really became a stoic while still having the trauma fresh in her heart. Pain sometimes creates monsters, but sometimes real heros and angels. I think she is a hero just like other survivors of this atrocity. I have massive respect for Jewish people and their culture.

[@johnfoster3089]

She is so beautiful when she smiles. I can only hope to have her courage and character. And that all of us could be so.

Renata had such a zest for life and for living. Note how she smiled when she was talking about all the projects she was working on.

[@Tortie25]

What an astonishing woman, such an amazing story. As she said, snippets, I’d love to read her full story. Clearly a very gifted, resourceful and determined woman but heart breaking unimaginable suffering 💔 so sad that survivors were unable to share their stories because of having to focus on building a new life and shutting away the past was how they moved forward.

[@RBartsy]

Renata is a gracious & lovely lady, one heck of a tough one to survive then blossoming into a wonderful advocate telling her story. I keep watching these for fragments of knowing, insights into my dad’s experiences working in the numerous DP camps in Germany after the war. He was with Lutheran World Relief federation finding the numerous small camps springing up as people fled the new post-war USSR configuration. Many people had already lived under Russian domination and did not want another Russian passport. I have some of the few things my dad brought back from this period of time including letters he wrote to mom (fiancé at the time) about experiences and some items DPs made thanking him for his help. When the Russians felt the need to step into their new territory closing out everyone who didn’t belong, that was that and my dad returned to USA leaving a now divided Germany, a divided Berlin, and that part of his territory gone under the cloak of the Cold War until the 80s with the fall of the wall! My parents were in Europe at the time. I have the piece of the Berlin Wall my mother put in her purse and later and envelope filed away in their papers! My dads experiences during this time greatly affected him for the rest of his life as did those experiences affect this group of friends who did the same duties in our parts of Europe. So many people affected in unimaginable ways, I am slowly unraveling the affect the war-through my father-had and has on me.

[@Steelhorsecowboy]

Remarkable woman with a unique and interesting story. It's sad that her experience was not appreciated by some because it lacked the camp experience but I can somewhat understand the suspicion after hearing so many stories where collaborators survived by turning on their own. She was very brave and clearly had a mind of her own which served her well.

[@MonicaM444]

This testimony touched me deeply. To think of what Renata went through , at the young age of 10, 11,12 etc. is heartbreaking. She was an amazing woman. May God bless her family. 🙏🏼💜

[@dawnitalutz1953]

What a hero! I love this woman. I hope this doesn't sound callous but I'd love to see a movie about her.

[@sharon4849]

It doesn't sound callous at all. I am Renata's daughter and I feel the same way, though I don't believe one film could do justice to her story. There is a story which she was part of, which you can find online. It's called A Wedding in Heidelberg. Mum was the bridesmaid at the first Jewish wedding held in Germany postwar. We both felt this story should be adapted for film. In our heads Mum and I would cast the film. But alas, I was never able to interest a producer. So I've written a memoir of my mother, called I Want You To Be Free, which has been published by Hobart Books in Oxford, England.

[@AT-yn5uf]

[@TheLadyDiazepam]

It seems hard for her to tell her story. I'm glad she went to the trouble to describe her background in such detail.

[@carlagoncalves531]

She did not go to a concentration camp but I consider her journey and experiences maybe even more heartbroken and cruel that if she had gone to one. She truly loved by one person only : her father. But she had to witness the violence and evil even in his funeral. She was lost and abused for so long I honestly can't believe how she make it. I can't. She had her father looking at her is my only explanation because is absolutely brutal what she have to endured. That scene in the woman's prison... How evil can humans be? If I was her I would have never want to talk to anybody never but I'm not her. She is a strong human. Thank you God for saving her and giving her a family and some peace.

[@sharon4849]

I would like to say to Carla Goncalves that Renata was loved not only by her father, but by her heroic older brother and sister, by her Catholic nanny, who ultimately gave her life for Renata and her siblings, and by a network of Polish rescuers who risked their lives in order to save hers. Renata would find love again, from the wonderful man she married, and from their children. But you are right in perceiving that her father may have been watching over her. Renata told me that she would hear her father's voice directing her when she had to make split-second decisions. I understand what she meant, because I often hear her voice guiding me. Renata died six years ago on this date. I write this response on Wednesday morning of November 27, 2019. Renata died on the Wednesday evening of November 27, 2013. She died of cancer, at home, in her bed, with her physician son in attendance and with me beside her. I am Renata's daughter, and reading these responses makes this anniversary a bit more bearable for me. Thank for remembering Renata.

[@katerinathemessenger1024]

I am so touched by Renata's story, it gives me hope. I live in Montreal and got to love and learn so much from the Jewish community as a young girl, when I worked as a hairdresser at the Cavendish Mall. Many of my clients were survivors and we would talk about the war and they would share their stories. Later when I got very ill, mentally from surviving sexual abuse, these precious testimonies strengthen me, and frankly saved my life. I found comfort and encouragement in them. Today, thank God, I have recovered completely. I am so grateful to have heard this unique story of survival. God bless the Zajdman family. Amen.

RIP BEAUTIFUL STRONG RENATA...I have watched this testimony a few times. I have also watched many many others as well and I'm sorry for what they had to endure BUT I have come to the awful feeling that many not all but many of these people giving their testimonials give me a sense or feeling that they, being Jews, are above everyone else..their education or wealth, like this is so important to them..their status..I'm in no way diminishing their horrors and I watch these testimonials because I like history and listening to them gives me more of a personal insight as to what happened during those evil years of war..I walk away with the same sentiment. Jews feel that no one came to help them but do they not realize that thousands of innocent soldiers also lost their lives and that their families lost sons and daughters fighting for them???I'm Australian and we recognize and appreciate their heroism in their sacrifice for freedom. My parents were Maltese and I have also researched the war through the tremendous contributions of that country and the loss of lives...Renata has given us a very true and unblemished account of her story and for that I am grateful.....RIP BEAUTIFUL LADY AND MAY GOD BLESS HER FAMILY ❤

I’m glad that you’ve mentioned the fact that many interviewed here, give that vibe of being above others, with education and wealth. I would be afraid to mention it otherwise. But this beautiful lady’s story is different...she is much different: very open minded, despite all the horrors she’s endured. Out of several testimonies I’ve seen so far, hers is the most powerful and terrifying. I must admit that, being Polish, I feel a sense of anger, when all Poles are referred to as anti Semitic...especially these days....yet: I say it with a sense of huge sadness: there was a lot of anti Semitism in Poland during that time...but this was a horrible trend across all Europe...sadly. Would it be different if some Jewish people put more effort into assimilating into societies...?...being less ‘proud’.... of course, only some of them. So much suffering...so many innocent children perished...

There could be a movie based on her life during the war

I have watched several of the survivors on this USC foundation channel. They all were affluent before the war. It makes me wonder about the demographic or socioeconomic breakdown of survivors in general. Wonder if there are any statistics on the subject.

This is Black History month. Why is there so much talk about the Holocaust in February? I realize this was a tragicl event in Germany during the war. However, during the shortest month of the year African Americans have the conversation about the tragedies of Black life for the past 500 years, the tragedies that contenues to this day right here in the United States. Yet, African Americans can barely see one hour of conversation on the subject of racism/white supremacy in this country, yet, here we are listening to a four hour narrative about something that took place in Germany for a short period time, some 80 years ago.

I am Renata's daughter. Her nightmares lasted all her life. I witnessed it. As for Black History Month: Morgan Freeman hates it. He says black history is American history, and I agree with him. You may find the testimonies of black veterans interesting. They identified with "what took place in Germany for a short period of time, some eighty years ago."
