    Klara Samuels was my physics teacher in high school and she was an amazing character. I wish I had been better at the subject at the time.
  • That brought a smile to my face when she was talking about prank phone calls before the Holocaust. We used to make them with our friends, like asking, “Do you have Prince Albert in a can? If so, please let him out!” or the old standard, “iI your refrigerator running? If so, please catch it!”

    This is one of my favorite interviews. I love how she speaks. I love how open and honest she is. I love hearing how her perspective shifted. What a lovely soul.
  • @carolwaldon8526
    The BEST testimony so far (I have listened to many ) Klara is FABULOUS and the interviewer is excellent.
  • Thank you for sharing with us your life story, we must never forget those who didn't survive.
  • Klara Samuels..... What a fine, intelligent and fun loving lady !! I enjoyed listening to this testimony more so, because the audibility of this video is super good and Klara has spoken very clearly. Klara must be 94 now. I wish her many healthy, happy years ahead.

    What a great lady! Her memory is a gift to us all.
  • @Jenjenilou
    Lovely Klara - thank you for sharing your story.
  • Its hard to imagine anyone in those camps feeling as though they had a privileged existence during that time of extraordinary suffering. She's a remarkable compassionate survivor.
  • @tinaloveseddie
    I applaud her courage and strength. She is a great storyteller... I can envision her childhood in Poland. Very eloquent and inspiring. 💞
  • @emmaburgess4320
    I totally agree .. she is so smart and lovely.. I wish more gentiles would listen to these testimonies .. As a gentile I have learned so much about mankind through these testimonies .. my heart aches for all the Jewish people of the past and I worry for their future..
  • I've watched about 50 of these interviews (and counting), and I'm encouraged and glad to see through it all, they've kept (or gained) their sense of humor.
  • @kevinwees3101
    I love how this woman speaks. She speaks very well.

    G-d bless her strong sassy heart, she’s adorable & reminds me of my mom.♥️

    I’ve known Al for 30 years and always loved his talent! He’s played Times Square, Central Park etc. I was always amazed and never knew his rich music history. I hope he posts the old videos so we can listen again! I’m also one of Jehovah’s worshipers and never really discussed it much

    This was an incredibly moving testimony…. Thank you for archiving Klara’s holocaust experience. My heart is pierced with sorrow, but blessed with Klara’s wisdom and joy.
