Jewish Survivor Emil Jacoby Testimony Part 1 | USC Shoah Foundation

[@jeanhenderson1277]

I’ve watched a lot of these testimonies now and what strikes me the most is how so few of the survivors hold any malice they are better people than I am , thank you and god bless you sir x

[@KhalDrogo76]

I've watched dozens of these testimonials, as someone from German descent it feels mandatory to give these people some of my time to hear what they went thru

[@tradermama5019]

agree

[@bethy1965]

What an incredible heart wrenching story. Thank you, Emil, for sharing this with us.

[@marthaarntson7829]

What an extraordinary man! Thank you for sharing your story.

[@rescuepetsrule6842]

God bless such a man who, after the tragedy he survived, has raised a family and seems confident that the past is something that can't hurt him anymore- the mark of a true survivor, IMO. SALUTE, Emil! Oh, yeah- I use a small Bose (WIFI) Bluetooth speaker one one laptop, but since it won't pair with the old one, I just use the headphone jack to plug it in. Beware of some of the new testimonies volume- if it's remote, the narrator was way too loud and booming, but I could barely hear the survivor. BUT, they have captions, so, whatever it takes, there's a way to hear these people speak. (Climbs down from podium, shuffles off stage.....) :)

Amazing- beautiful family !

I find headphones give me all the sound projection needed.

[@meghanfraser1728]

obnoxious interviewer. what should be some of the most important historical accounts from survivors own testimony is really botched. From the interviewers either rude, impatient, totally not even listening and having people repeat themselves, sometimes even cutting them right off, ie. this old crow. I pray that, least of all, these powerful accounts of the past, during the holocaust, will be restored for sound. color etc. Thank you to the survivors for reliving these horrors to pass them on with such composure. Every one unique and riveting. Thank you.

Have to agree, interviewer scolding this gentleman was Cringeworthy

[@CopperElements]

This interviewer was fantastic compared to the last one. She was such a terrible interviewer that the comments were turned off.

[@leahnewyork]

It is enough to criticize a person's performance, if you don't like it. It is not necessary to call sexist/ageist names (old crow? wow...) in order to make a point, unless IMO one's aim, conscious or not, is to create or perpetuate a kind of bullying or "other"ing. Which would be horribly ironic in this context. Yeah, I too was frustrated and disappointed at so many points in this recording when the interviewer cut off the interviewee. Who knows how she was coached, recruited... what she was required to do and not do? There seems to have been a lot of leeway given to individual interviewers who participated in this program, but also there were non-explicit (not made explicit to us viewers, that is) guidelines informing their questions and the arc of the overall interview. I salute all the interviewers for their diligence, earnestness, intelligence, time, effort, care... for their important contribution to this important program.

@@leahnewyorkAnd they don’t agree that the interviewer should’ve behaved in this way regardless of what stipulations they were given. Everyone’s entitled to believe what they believe.

[@headingnorth5701]

I wish the volume was louder

[@lydiax55]

@Max Larsen i have the same problem, and yes, i have the volume turned up

[@WideAwakeHuman]

Yeah the equipment they used on these interviews was bad even for the 90s... But I guess it is what it is. Using headphones helps some if you can.

[@wandaburkenhagen336]

All today's technology and we still wait 2/3 minute's for you to change tapes?? Very badly presented and just rude to the story tellers making them stop talking while on a sensitive journey so you can change the tapes .

[@hardamber]

This video was made over 20 years ago with actual film.

[@leahnewyork]

Maybe you could have done better given the tech of that time, and the very serious nature of watertight testimony-gathering, not to mention the program's interview requirements, whatever they were, but also ... maybe not. Perhaps there is a similarly important program going on right now for which you can volunteer as an interviewer, benefiting from today's tech... but also risking that in the future somebody will find your product wanting, too.

[@leahnewyork]

@wandaburkenhagen336 it's hard to capture a fellow commenter's attention but I am trying with this @ ... I responded some time back to your comment.

Good testimony except rambling word salad at the end. His artwork in part 2 is good.

[@cindyhalpern3187]

I am sad those rabbis gave very bad advice. Maybe some people would have left in time.

And his father really made a big blunder. With his American Citizenship, they could have got out.
