    I’ve seen several of these survivor testimonies, and I’m amazed at how incredibly well these survivors ultimately turned out. They are all so well spoken, so eloquent, so elegant, friendly, approachable, and warm. It is amazing how resilient humans are!
  • I am so glad the survivors are making these videos, we must never forget. She is such a delight
  • I love hearing all their stories prior to their being victims. They all had beautiful fairytale lives. They all were very well educated. Extremely hardworking and had their own businesses. Beautiful homes with big families that had harmless traditions. They all had handmade clothes and shoes that sounded so beautiful for their time. No matter how many testimonies I listened to. It still fascinates me as to how quickly the Nazi’s reduced each family of their life. I can’t wrap my minds around how a person could do this to anyone.. even their worst enemies. This lady is so sweet I can’t imagine how she coped with the loss of everything and everyone she had. There will never be a good enough excuse for this to have happened

    How is this not shown in every free country on earth in school?? She is astonishingly articulate and detail- orientated while being engaging and mesmerizing.
  • @aliceberry9392
    This is one of the most eloquent and clear speakers. She knows how to communicate her experiences. ♡♡♡

    Thank you to the producers for interviewing this resilient woman.
  • i was blessed to work with Gloria at a Bank in S.F. I never heard her full story. I'm so impressed with our God who kept her thru such a trial.
  • Such a beautiful lady Thank you for sharing your Testimony I was so moved I have been watching many of the testimonies from many if the survivors and it hurts my heart what humans do to their fellow man... Although i only heard about the holocaust around 1970's i was in my twenties Our schools did not teach us this history..i am in Australia and now retired and spend a few hours each night watching many of the testimonies .. Sending love and light to you ❤🇦🇺
  • It astounds me that the survivors of these or any such atrocities can find it possible to trust and love again. Amazing

    This woman is such an amazing person. Her family raised a strong woman. Most of the Jewish woman I have watched speak multiple languages so well. I am so sorry for these horrible times in their lives and for those who were murdered. I am happy that her story along with many others are being put out there to never be forgotten.
  • @nckruse
    I have watched so many testimonies and Gloria’s is one of the best if not the best, I have seen. She is so sweet and explained things so well. Just heartbreaking what all she and millions of others endured. Thank you Gloria for opening your life and sharing your ❤️ you are much appreciated.
  • @mrbatman4robin
    Thank you for the immense privilege of listening to your testimony. I will never forget.

    Gloria Lyon, you are an amazing women. Your story and the way you relayed was extraordinary, you truly painted a picture. Thank you for the details and cohesiveness of your account.
  • @chriseliot336
    What I noticed other than her beautiful, somewhat, cheerful voice, is the fact she credited her mother for the strength that her mother had. She said when she was separated from her mother, she no longer has strength and became confused and doubted the existence of God, yet the first chance she had, she jumped off the truck and went back to the camp. Then further, continued working unbelievably hard jobs as slave labor enduring severe beatings. She doesn't even realize her strength. I believe her love of human beings during inhumane treatment is what saved her. Bless you and thank you for sharing your strength and courage for us to learn from. You are a true inspiration to us all. God blessed you through your trials and tribulations. Now you bless us with your story. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!❣️
