I am in awe how anyone could survive mentally and physically for so long. Such a wonderful woman. Thank God she survived.
-
I met her in July this year at the Jewish Holocaust Memorial in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia and I bought her book, 'Lauferin'. She's such a beautiful lady and her story is amazing and inspirational. I feel honoured to have met her.
-
What a woman. Such strength and courage at such a young age and such articulate descriptions of camp life. God bless your little brother.🖤
-
I have been deeply touched and inspired by this detailed and telling testimony...Lusia's words at the end of the video nailed it: She should feel quite victorious for she not only survived but she has had a productive, well-lived life with a beautiful family! Thank you!

I met Lusia a few years ago at the Holocaust museum in Melbourne. I was there with my mum, as my University had organised for us to listen to some survivors. I never forget, bumping into her as mum and I walked out. I remember her showing me the tattoo on her arm. She told me about how she was starving, and so malnourished yet the Germans used to take blood from her arm and the other inmates and send them to the front line. Blood from people who had nothing, who they saw as inferior. I remember my heart breaking. I’ve still got her book and her bookmark sitting at home and I treasure them dearly. I felt so honoured to have met her. It amazes me how despite everything she keeps going for her family ❤️

Such an inspiring story! I actually lived near Mrs. Haberfeld's old home on Piotrkowska Street in Poland. The tenement was recently renovated and looks so beautiful now!
-
A Wonderful testimony. As a fellow Melbournian thank god you survived. You’ve helped shape our country into the multi cultural society we have today. What a strong courageous lady. Beautiful family.

May their memories be blessings!
-
This woman is amazing. Very brave and strong. Unbelievable how anyone can talk so frankly about such terror.
-
Beautiful person, her eyes shine, like her soul. Her spirit is eternal.
-
Thoroughly enjoyed Lusia's story. I am in wonder how she and her mother survived so many camps with so much brutality.
-
I've listened to hundreds of these and this is the most amazing story of survival by far.
-
thank you
-
Such a beautiful boy!!! God bless him forever.

Treblinka not Treblinki. My family was gassed there in 1942. The name of the teacher in the Jewish orphanage was Stefania Wilczynska. She was educated in Switzerland and Belgium. She was given a chance to save herself but did not want to leave orphans and was gassed with children in August 1942.
-
An amazing testimony, thank you!
-
Beautiful family and a remarkable lady! What a horrific experience she has lived through.
-
I can't imagine what her brother went through and many others who had to go through this alone :(
-
Sounds to me like the Czech man could have been an angel.
-
thank you!!!
