Thank you for shearing your story. I’m a Puerto Rican woman married to a Jewish, awesome, handsomes, caring, loving, father and husband. We live in NYC and our five children are well educated on the Holocaust and Jewish history and culture💝. Never, never forget 🙏🏼

I see 4 thumbs down. Nobody in their right mind could give thumbs down to program so well presented.

Very eloquently explained. Truly moving. What an elegant speaker!

How anyone can give this testimony a thumbs down really needs to have their head examined. I pity you that you have no mercy or compassion in your heart. Thank you Irene for sharing your heart and testimony. God bless you.

An inner strength that cannot be measured by any dynamic. What a touch of class. Thank you Irene, your story has touched me berry deeply.

Hello. It is amazing that after such cruel degradation you speak with such grace and patience; you do not seem vengeful or filled with hate fpr those who hated you. You are a marvellous witness of a trully human caring person . Thank you & God continue to bless you.

Thank you for sharing your story.

I just recently found this page because a Facebook friend shared the most recent video and I - well, I've always been the weird one reading memoirs to try to learn and understand people as well as the past, because without learning about it you can't learn from it and if you don't learn from it, history repeats itself. I greatly appreciate each and every one of the speakers who give their first person testimonies on here as well as the museum for setting up and creating these videos. This is an expanse of our history that I hope is forever learned from and never forgotten. I realize this one was shared many months ago, but I have to say it ~ Thank you, Irene, for sharing your story. Love and blessings to you and yours.

Amazing testimony but very frightening.I will never understand,how neighbours who've shared their lives with others,could possibly change like this

Bless your amazing heart, Irene.

Irene, all my respect for you! Thank you so much for sharing your life experience with us! You are an inspiration. I'll continue doing my best to try to build a better world. God bless you! Much love from Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Just amazing. Thank you for providing these first person conversations…I will definitely be going back and watching all of them. God bless❤️

People like you are historic TREASURES. I'm so thankful you were able to give not only your family but every holocaust survivor a voice and testimony to the most horrific event in human history. Thank you!

Very, very professional, sensitive and well prepared interviewer. Irene is so well-spoken. What a compelling story of this witness. Also, it is heartbreaking when you consider she lost four siblings to those wretched Nazis. So very heartbreaking.

Thank you for sharing your story…

This part of history mustn´t be forgotten, who forgets the history is deemed to repeat it. It must not happen again.

Hello, I’m from country south Australia. Very pleased to meet you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Thank you for sharing your story

omg…i remember learning about this specific person in my english classroom. we each got specific people that we would learn about and i got this woman.

IRENE, (MAY YR. FAMILY 'S SOULS RIP) YOUR BRAVERY AND YR. INNER STRENGTHS BOTH TOUCHED AND INSPIRED ME ... IT IS EASY TO SEE YOU ARE A GOOD PERSON. PERHAPS THAT'S THE REASON FOR YR. SURVIVAL ... AS AN EXAMPLE TO US LESSER MORTALS . THERE SHOULD BE MORE PEOPLE IN POSSESSION OF THOSE CHARACTERISTICS. SHALOM. CALEB R.

Thank you and bless you with this horrific and evil story that you bravely lived through to inform us first hand. God be with you!!!

Thank you for this important testimony 🙏 ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much ❤️ We remember and always will 🙏

God bless her

My heart bleeds

A true Lady 🌹

Such a moving story !

So horrendous! I'm so sorry this happened. God Bless you for sharing this story.

Thank you so very much for sharing this with us. These testimonies are so very important to those that come after you and I hopefully to learn from the mindless acts of cruelty and murder visited on such innocents as the victims of the Nazi regime.

Wonderful! Thank You!

Hi, sorry I don’t wish to comment too much but , isn’t it so sad that people you’ve known all your life , turn on you? It’s one thing (/even though it’s not acceptable) to be in fear of your life to perhaps not acknowledge someone , or a whole family - different story altogether to go into a known acquaintances home and ransack it. Makes we wonder, how did these people feel after - were they ashamed? You hear stories of survivors coming back (/after horrific experiences) and be refused access to their own homes!!!!! I’m afraid man is only always just a step away from brutalality. Unless we change this behaviour , is their any hope for the human race? ‘ Man is an evolutionary experiment that has gone horrifically wrong’. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

She just turned 92 as of 11/21/22. Amazing and sharp woman

Listening from BC, Canada..... thank you

She looks so much like her mother…I’ll never understand of such prejudices

Thank you for this interview. I always wonder what holocaust survivors thought when they arrived in America after the war. Were they astonished at the intact cities, traffic, abundance of food, and wealth after being in war-torn Europe? It must have been a shock to them.

Humankind must never forget!! This was an absolute nightmare, but people must always remember!!! I am from South Africa, I don't even know if my country was involved in this atrocity, but I'm teaching my kids about this. Because this happened, and sadly this is what people are capable of 😢. Irene, We will never forget 😢

She is nothing short of a legend.

That lady who was in your home - she knew she’d done wrong. It must have been so traumatic for you, I just can’t imagine it. I’m sure some lovely mother or a kind grandmother would have taken your sister under their wing if she didn’t find your mum. Mothers always have room for 1, 2 3 or more children. She wouldn’t have been alone , I’m sure. Your family lives on in the blood of you and your sister. Blood carries the genetics of all family members , it carries traits of all. In our case I csn say “ my daughter is like Aunty Yvonne or Aunty Bev or my mum or my husband. My daughter said to me one day , aged about 7, “ well who am I like? Make up your mind’. ( it’d Been a tricky day). My hubby never saw our grandchildren and yet I can see my husband so much in him. They’ll never be too far from you. They loved you all so much. G-D bless you and your sisters families. Thank you for being so brave - and h interview as well. It must be harrowing for you as well. I’m sure I heard a catch in his throat. 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️ from country south Australia 🙏🙏🙏🙏🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

A horrible fate no human deserves to suffer. Nazi Germany should always be remembered as the evil empire who killed innocent and defenceless people. I am grateful that she share her story while she still are alive, The pain of losing ones family, friends, your home, your dear possessions, your childhood and having memories of pain, fear, loss that haunts you for the rest of your life must be an unbearable burden. And having nightmares about it and never have the chance to take farewell of those you love... This was a beautiful girl with many friends who could have had an entire other life, if the nazis hadn't stolen everything from her. I am not a jew, I am an atheist but I can only feel immense feelings of sympaties for the jewish people after what they have been through.

Is the live finished already??

I am just amazed…….😔

Thank you so much for sharing with me an infamous fragment of the Hitler's Nazi horrendous regimen, via this conversation. It must be a very sad odyssey to recount it. The crimes and cruelties committed against my sons and daughters, my fathers and mothers, my brothers and sisters hurt me deeply, regardless their ethnicity and nationality. In Isaiah 2: 4, Jehovah God, the Creator and Source of life, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, promises: "He will be judge among the nations and will settle matters in relation to many peoples. They will turn their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. The nations will no longer raise their swords against each other and learn no more to wage war." My immediate neighbors are Jews and I am a Jehovah's Witness. Their hearts are superior than pure gold by far. They are extremely kind. The gentleman takes care of my trash can every Wednesday without my asking him to do so. They are lovely human beings, and they are not in need of the smallest improvement.

Thank you Jesus.
