"We're short on time" MF! He's 92! You're short on time?! Listen to whatever he wants to say for as many hours as he wants to talk
-
Give this dear man more time to tell his story give him respect let him talk
-
This absolutely incredible man deserves more than 38 minutes of our time. His story is so incredible he should have a full length movie based on his life.
-
Please give this man way more time to tell his story.
-
It's a bit of shame that you didn't have more time for this interview. The old man clearly had a lot more to tell.
-
God bless you Josef for telling this painful story. My ancestors in Poland helped to hide some Jewish families during the war and risked their lives in doing so, which makes me very proud of my heritage. We must stand up to the antisemitism that is escalating around the world. Every person makes a difference. Shalom.

The poor man wanted to talk ,and didn't let him talk 😔
-
His jacket lapel has the word 'remember' in Hebrew. Very rare interviewee able to describe the horrors lucidly and with feeling. Shame he was not given more time. Survivors are a dying breed and we still have much to learn from them.
-
God bless you sir. I am a grandson of a Holocaust survivor. The world must never forget.
-
Fantastic man and what a story and lesson to tell. Its such a shame he was rushed at the end. He should be allowed to talk for as long as he wants. He is one of the last eye-witnesses and soon there will be none of them.

Josef, you're a brave and strong person. I wish the interviewer would have let Josef tell his full story. He rushed him to liberation, but I think his whole story should have been told. Josef, you are remembered and honored. Always keep love in your heart so it doesn't grow into hate so we don't have a repeat of the Holocaust. It was like evil was realsed on to earth, but today in my neighborhood, there are Jewish schools and Jewish people walking in the neighbohood. The Nazis didn't win, they lost because they became hunted and people are repulsed by their crimes. Jewish people are thriving and surving, so take that Nazis you're the losers in every respect of the word.

I can never ignore this kind of interview, may they Rest In Peace

This man is an absolute hero, and I hope he is rewarded in heaven for all that he has suffered and accomplish by telling his story.
-
I felt so sad during this interview that this incredible man couldn’t tell his story the way he wanted to. I wish this was a series of interviews so he was free to tell his experiences as he would like.
-
He needed more time to talk....May God Bless Him....
-
Incredible story. I really enjoyed listening to him tell it. Thanks to him. God bless this man, his family and their future. NEVER FORGET!!! 💕❤️💕❤️
-
What a wonderful man and i am ashamed of what humans are capable of. Great interview
-
This 96 year old gentleman, Joseph, really deserves a hearty applause, as he persisted and emerged alive from not one or two, but SIX camps !! Wish that he was allowed to speak in detail, of his harrowing experiences, may be in two or three sessions. Would like to read his book, but it is not easy to find the book. Also subtitles in English would be welcome, since I could not understand some of his words.
-
I wish this man had been given more time to tell his story! Why the rush?
-
Very good and interesting interview. It is so important that we continuesly remember these atrocities so we can do our best to try to prevent them from happening.
