  • Fantastic interviewer. Letting Agnes tell her story without interruption and for this reason, one of the best interviewers of this genre I have seen.
  • Intelligent and bold five year old child. Loved the way she narrated story. She gave a richful insight into history.

    At 18:48 she says "In 1943 most people did not think anything really terrible is going to happen..." A cautionary warning to us in America today!
  • Thank you, Agnes, for sharing your experiences.  It is amazing, the clarity of your memories from a time when you were so young. I am horrified by what humankind does to one another and so very sorry so many suffered through those horrors, or didn't make it through. You are so insightful, so hopeful, very inspiring that you have gone on to a successful life. Blessings to you and all your family! I am also thankful for Mr. Speilberg and the USC Shoah Foundation Institute, for recording the histories and making them available over the internet... Never give up! Never surrender. Be Thankful and Grateful for everything!

    How she remember so much ! I don't remember anything from I was 4
  • I love listening to these. I am a Messianic believer. The Roman Catholic church did a real number. It seems they forgot that the Law and the Prophets where written by Hebrews, and that the New Testament was predominantly written by those of the tribe of Judah. YaHusha (Jesus was of the House of Judah!) They didn't kill YaHusha, He laid His life down willingly.
