Thanks Roman Gessler, for sharing your touching, heartwarming and incredible story of survival. You all did not give up and thats why you survived !!! Felt sad about the unknown fate and disappearing of your dear mother. Hats off to your nanny Elizabeth / Elly.She was really a Godsend saviour for your family!! Roman must be 86 now. Wish Roman,Alek and Lilly peaceful, happy years ahead. The documentries produced by Yad Vashem are superbly wonderful !! They are doing a great job by preserving the priceless memories, stories of the survivors of the Holocaust and sharing them with the world!!

A very important and moving testimony. One grandfather of mine was drafted by a German pre-military organisation (RAD) in 1935 as a 15 year old, and was 1937 integrated into the German Army (Heer), where he had to fight and serve until may 1945 (ten years in service). He already passed away when I was 4 years old, so I never had the chance to talk to him about the invasion of poland etc. These Yad Vashem videos are important to shed a little light in our history, Israeli history as well as German history. Israels right to its own country should not be questioned by anyone. The video also teaches me, that a two-state-solution is always bad (remeber when poland was parted as mentioned in the video). Judea and Samaria should be fully recognized as Israeli homeland (my personal opinion). Many historical wisdoms and truths can be gleaned from these film testimonies.

It is with heartfelt gratitude that I say, Thank you Mr. Gessler for sharing your story with us. I thank God every day that I am a free man born in a free land, and stories like yours help me to never minimize the gift of freedom from God, and the lengths some had to go to get what was freely given to me. I will remember your story the next time adversity tried to get me to "give up"....

Not for nothing but knowing this story is one of SO MANY one cannot help but think that these people could be justified had they mentally and emotionally shut down and refused to be constructive members of society going forward in their lives….. yet they DID NOT. all it took was Covid and reinterpreted history for the US in 2020-2022 for the country to head into cultural decline spearheaded by a perception of victimhood

Its really very sad that Roman's mother disappeared like this and whats more tragic is that there was no information about why she did that. He must have thought all his life about why his mother went away leaving the entire family behind

she jumped out of the window and died...she killed herself. Unless the little girl was confused and someone pushed her. It's possible, if she killed herself that she could forsee the horrors to come and couldn;t take it.

WOW! What a Story! What an incredible but dangerous experience for Roman, his siblings and father endured. and more importantly, survived! It is a very good and important Life lesson, to "Never Give Up".. and "never give in", even if all looks lost, and all looks hopeless... Never lose hope.. keep putting foot and site forward.. not backward. I'm so happy the Gessler family all came through ok. But, was sad for his poor mother. I am guessing only, but I believe when Romans father left her and alone with all their children, it was too much for her to handle. She may have thought he wouldn't or couldn't come back (for obvious reasons).. she lost hope, and the thought overwhelmed her. There had to be good reason for her to end her life so abruptly. Its not just that she had small children she'd left behind, but she was religious, a devout person doesn't commit suicide, they are taught at an early age its a huge sin, its as murder just to oneself.. some religions teachings and beleaf is you won't go to heaven with this sin on your soul. So, I feel very sorry for Roman, his siblings, And his mother. May she had found some peace in her afterlife. And Bless Romans father and Elizabeth for their courage and faith and heart, to keep forging forward and always finding their way, their path through the hell they had to take to get them all to safety. Bless them all.

I wish to point out an error about this video to the makers of this beautiful film on ww2 survivor, Roman Gesler. Probably, Yad Vashem technical team may rectify it. Throughout the film, two sets of same subtitles in English appear at the bottom of the screen of the mobile and the words overlap eachother, thus it becomes very difficult to read any one, through them. So, there should be 'only one' set of subtitles on the screen. Thanks. Please correct this error, if possible.

He fought in the war of independence in Israel, sorry in Palestine? you must be kidding, you mean he fought in the war of occupation. It s crazy how you speak about war crimes when you did the exact same thing to Palestinians when you had the opportunity, killing civilians, kicking them out of their homes.....
