Jewish Survivor Celina Biniaz Testimony | USC Shoah Foundation

This interviewer is better then most!!! I get so mad when a interviewer interrupts the survivers!!!

Mrs. Biniaz was one of my 6th grade teachers on Long Island, NY. I heard about this video on facebook from a past student that keeps in touch with her. She is how I remember her, kind, soft spoken, intelligent, gracious and eloquent. This is a very moving and informative interview and I think the interviewer did a good job and allowed Mrs. Biniaz to answer her questions and elaborate without interrupting her constantly as some professional interviewers do on TV. Another connection we have is that my grandfather grew up in Iowa and I have cousins there. Small world it is!

What a lovely well spoken woman. I'm so glad she survived to tell her story and tell us about Schindler and Mrs. Schindler who was as generous and caring as her husband.

"We didn't have the quantity, we had the quality" What a wonderful thing to say....

The only time she cries is at the beautiful memory of the nun, really shows her strength and inner beauty

'Don't hate' and 'Try to see the good in people' what Excellent words. Thank you for sharing and giving us encouragement.

An eloquent testimony from a wonderful lady. I have no idea how the people who suffered at the hands of these monsters have such strength, we must never forget

Such a special lady. Strong and intelligent. Much respect.

Bless this woman and her family!! SUCH STRENGTH!

What an absolutely lovely and gracious lady. Her message to others was simply Wondeful. I would have loved to meet her.

A profound testimony from an incredible lady.

A touching testimony by a beautiful soul.

I am from Krakow...I am really sorry about what happened to you...

3/22/17: Thank you for sharing your testimony, Celina. Your "hellish" experience during this horrible time is worth hearing about. You are a beautiful, lovely and brave soul. May the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob give you TRUE PEACE.

Mrs. Biniaz thank you for telling your story. Even though you went through so much you are so strong and so happy and full of life. I admire you very much.

Heard what she said!!? The most riveting peace of truth!! "Evil can happen anywhere at anytime" One of few great things most people fail to realize,thus they live unawaringly grossed out lives.

TY for telling your story, stunningly beautiful! 🌹❤️🇨🇦😓

What a wonderful story told by an extraordinarily intelligent human being. In spite of all she experienced, she continued to smile.

Her story is incredible, and really alines with aspects of the film, Schindler's List. There are people who doubt the validity of the film, and say that it was made in a way to evoke emotion, but that some of the events portrayed didn't take place. But her interview stands as a testament of sorts, and really shows that these accounts did actually happen. Specifically her story around minute 00:30, about herself and the women being sent to Auschwitz by mistake. That actually DID happen. And Schindler actually did go and recover the women. It's astonishing. Even though the stories are often troubling, I am thankful that these archives and videos exist. Testimony.

So as unconscious humans, we are at the mercy of the ego, which can do the worst things imaginable. This is what I'm learning as I watch these testimonials. The only way we will ever find peace is through shutting down the mind, and living in the present moment; Not living in the past with resentment towards those who trespassed against us. And not being under control of the monster the ego is.
