    I have watched a good few of these and this is the best interviewer so far. Many, irrelevant of age of age, struggle with the tone of the interview. This interviewer was balanced, supportive, respectful but not distant. Well done all involved.

    Her beautiful smile belies the horror she went through.

    What lovely people, Thea and Jack. It was an honor to know them through their equally lovely daughter and family. I once asked how two people who had suffered and witnessed so much at the hands of other people could have such a wonderful sparkle and happy, loving nature. Their daughter told me her parents said they’d seen the worst of people, but they’d also seen the very best of people. The way they decided to live their lives was truly inspiring. May their memories be eternal.

    What a wonderful woman. I wish I could have met her. Not sure if she's still alive but if she is, may God bless you.
  • @sallysampson628
    I am so sorry this could have happened and I feel such anger that anyone says it didn’t happen. We all must never forget or allow it to happen again.
  • @jeanthompson8973
    Thea and Jack are two very warm, sweet people I have just met. I appreciate Thea's generosity in sharing her experience. I am very moved. Thank you, Thea!

    what a beautiful sweet woman and so sorry this happened

    Mrs Rumstein did such a great narrative. She experienced so much horror. I would like to hear her husband’s story, too. I hear they named their daughter Julia. That’s probably after her father, Julius.
  • Beautiful woman I can’t imagine what she went through. People must never forget these horrors so they are never repeated
  • @Kate-fr7qc
    A beautiful personality, like a shining jewel
  • @joziemolody3592
    Really makes me sad to hear her say that in the beginning, they thought the Germans were just going after the Poles, as if that was somehow ok. A generous woman to give her testimony.
