    Beautiful lady. Golden heart. Tears in eyes to see her family. May god bless them with lasting peace and prosperity. Love from India
  • So glad to see her with her wonderful family. She saved herself and her sister. She was a remarkable teenager to do this.
  • I have had the honor to experience many of these remarkable accounts and to read the comments, and i despair at the frequent critical remarks made by others. I sense that this narrator is trying to speak softly and calmly, even though it doesn’t come across well. i think shes asking questions from prompts. I get the feeling that the narrators for the tapes are jewish because she they knows particular facts, but not trained narrators or such. These accounts are so valuable, even though sometimes not smoothly carried out. The task was not simple. I so appreciate the idea of making these significant records and to do so before its too late and the fact that they exist. The stories powerfully speak for themselves.

    Every story is its own tragedy. May she and all survivors be at peace.
  • @putziiputz9439
    Oh what trauma this very sweet lady went through. I'm so Sorry my dear. 🌸💗🌼💗🌸

    Recording the survivors stories is a great initiative. Generations to come will know what happened. Interviewers could have been trained well to conduct such interviews. Most of them are irritating. Their way of questioning, tone. That spoils it. Salute to all survivors who came fw to share their life. God give them peace.
  • @susangrote9231
    I believe her. The interviewer asked her some questions that were quite open ended making them difficult to answer.
  • Such painful memories. A shocking, evil event in the world’s history which could easily happen again , such are the murderous intentions in the hearts of mankind when they are not checked. God’s richest blessings on the Nation of Israel. Thank you for sharing this testimony.
  • @Patty3457
    I have watched many, many of these interviews, & I really do not care for most of the people doing the interviewing. They seem so abrupt & not too sympathetic. When some of the survivors are crying or visibly shaken, the interviewers don't show any compassion. No touching the survivors' hand, no saying I'm so sorry this happened to you. I want to reach through the screen & hug them.
  • @cherylsumner5240
    Interesting recount. The interviewer was annoying with her really silly questions
  • @marty7978
    What me so surprised all the time is the hatrest, brutality and the sadism of the people back than. It must have been grown over the years. And not only the Germans but also the Polish. What is it that it have came so far? Is it that they lived their lives together as jewish people and not interfere with the rest of the community? I mean how can an adult torn a baby apart, kick the theet out of a teenager mouth etc etc.
  • @swiater1
    This interviewer has a very condescending attitude/voice, she's annoying, and when Ann Zworth broke down in tears I wanted to hold her hand, give her a hug..she seems to be such a wonderful and kind woman, actually, I cannot finish watching this testimony because the interviewer's voice and attitude is just to annoying, geez..
  • @marilyntape9050
    The interviewer must think that the poor lady was living in Stalag 13 a comedy show 😾🇦🇺
  • @jennyzoliver6718
    Dear Ann I think that you are trying to do a wonderful job story. God Bless You. I cannot stand this interviewer.
  • Why don’t they do better interviews for the intervieviewers? 🤷‍♀️ there must be better people to choose from!
  • @Vitagirl
    It really troubles me that such important historical testimony is taken by untrained people I understand these people are volunteers and I appreciate the effort but this type of historical oral history must be taken by well trained people or just allow the individual to tell their stories
  • @Vitagirl
    This can happen very easily again don’t think anyone is immune! Hitler killed the head people of the SA when he finally gained power which would not have happened without this initial group Hitler used this group until he felt they could possibly turn on him which wasn’t at all true so for people that believe in some of this fascist propaganda and ideology today and the current Maga nationalist agenda remember that nationalism is not about love of country!!! Your rights will be the first to go in a fascist state
