The strength of these people continues to amaze me. These testimonies are critically important historical documents.

I have watched several of these now and every one is so moving. These should be shown in schools . These people are amazing

When I did a semester of college in Germany, my major was history. I remember that we had to write a thesis on the second World War, I wanted to write something interesting and not the usual thesis most do. I came across a journal of a German Soldier who was in the Wehrmacht he was a Lieutenant, and in his journal he wrote about an incident in Lublin Poland where he witnessed the SS murder a group of Jewish children in an orphanage, after seeing what they had done he got sick and vomited, once he regained himself he then turned his machine gun on the group of SS men in a rage and killed them. He then heard some children crying upon investigation he found 2 little boys who were still alive, so he grabbed them and deserted the Army and fled the scene, he knew they would be looking for him so he needed out of his uniform, and in his journal he describes that he was tall about 6'5" and needed civilian clothes however, in occupied Poland he knew that it would be difficult for him to be inconspicuous in a big city or town where clothing shops are located, he came upon a farm where there was big barn and a house where there was a woman, he begged the woman to help him and explained to her what had happened and why he needed her assistance, so she let the soldier stay in the barn with his kids took his uniform and gave him some sheets to cover himself whilst she made him some clothes, as the ones from her husband were far to small for the towering German. He stayed on their farm for 10 days once the lady had made him some clothes, he set off to Switzerland with his 2 kids once there they found people who helped, and him and the kids remained there until the end of the war, after that he made his way back to West Germany to the American sector where he adopted the kids, and eventually emigrated to the US. The incident he witnessed took place in 1941, he was only 19 and by the time he emigrated he was 25. That thesis got an A+. What an amazing human being that soldier was.

Strong & stunning woman. This generation is amazing and they are passing away. We must share their legacy. Such class - after all they suffered. It barely exists today. Thank you Shoah Foundation for preserving these memories.

What an elegant woman. Thank you for adding your story for generations to hear and remember.

What an absolutely remarkable and wonderful woman and her story - so powerful!!!

Remarkable lady, I miss and hold dear to my heart her accent. My parents escaped Soviet Hungary when the boarders were closed.

I'm so glad she survived.

As I listen to one horrific testimony after the other, my thoughts are with the millions of victims who were systematically and brutally ignored, dehumanised, abused, tortured, killed... I will never forget.

In listening to you, Aniko, what is beautiful is your spirit. No matter what happened to you in your journey of life, you have found beauty instead of bitterness and desire for revenge. That's powerful. Your face shines with this light.

I could listen to her speak for hours …she makes me feel calm in a way …💜

Thank you for the interview. She is really lovely. Yes, in 1944 March changed everything and I feel terrible sorry for that.

Thank you for sharing your life experience.

a stunning lady. may you rest in peace.

The courage is beyond anything I’ve known! To block these memories for so long in order to cope, imagine the strength to confront these all that pain. And, she was exquisite! Gorgeous, brilliantly talented, so compassionate. I could have listened to her for days.

Aniko, thank you so much for opening and sharing pages of your life that you and countless others should never have experienced in the first place. I was born in 47 so I have been spared any firsthand experience like that and if it were not for your testimony and the blessed Shoah Foundation, I might have trouble believing evil like this could exist. For those monsters who have managed to escape justice in this life have one more judge to face and I would not want to be in their shoes when they stand before God and their names are not found chiseled in the book of life. It's a little disconcerting how few folks have taken the time to thank you and encourage you for your amazing and powerful testimony. I wished we had more folks like you for it would be a lot better place to live in... in the end good always wins out, God bless you and your family.

What a radiant brave and talented woman! Amazing

My time has flown. 2021 has arrived, I am 70 in a week. The last of the survivors are leaving us. I'm so sad.

Thank you so much for telling your story! I was born in 1944. It seems like all my life I have known about the holocaust. I am grieved in my heart many times. I could listen to your life story for another few hours! Your husband is so handsome and you’re so talented and your family is so beautiful! God saved you for a special purpose. I love the sculpture that you are planning to do in bronze of the family and the shadows.God bless you!

What a beautiful, strong and amazing lady. So inspiring ❤

What a beautiful and insightful woman ! My heart goes out to each and every one of these survivors and my heart is with every person murdered by those evil doers …love and positivity to you all !!! ❤️💜🥰💯

I lived in the Huntington area from 2010 to 2022. I was involved with the Glen Cove Holocaust Museum briefly. I never met this woman, and I don't know whether she was still active or even alive in these later years. But I regret our paths never crossed, as my mother was a Holocaust Survivor from Vienna. My Mom died in 2013 in Rhode Island, where I was originally from and where I live again. Her deep denial likely was a survival tool. Mom never spoke of her experiences until later in her life. These Survivors wanted to move on from what they endured. So I understand how she felt. It seems like Huntington became home to her finally. I used to go to Forest Hills, an hour away, to go to Andre's Bakery, an Hungarian pastry shop. I wonder if she went there as well.

Very interesting and talented women. I find it upsetting that her relationship with her father had changed after the war...very sad.

Shame the sound was so faint, the interviewer far more distinct. So sad about her father’s reception of her.

This is very interesting part of history, this lady went from a child to a young woman in the most horrible situation to another , and yet she succeeded to get herself and her children to a better future, A beautiful talented remarkable lady , hopefully her fantastic sculpture will be realised one day for all to appreciate and remembering those that perished

I live in France, so the photos where of particular interest to me..... The women next to Aniko's Uncle was at one time the most famous performer in the world...! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mistinguett

Shame about sound quality

Sucha a beautiful woman outside and inside.

You are fantastic such detail

You can tell she is an amazing human. I cannot understand how humans can do mass killings still to the day. It’s really sad. I’m praying that most of them found some type of happiness after the war.

Such a beautiful lady.

I think of myself as rather a selfish a person. If I would have been in her shoes I don't know if I could have hung in there. I don't think I have strong enough disposition that could allow me to carry on. I also don't know if I could talk about these atrocities. I just want to say thank you for being so strong for those of us that aren't.

Such a beautiful classy lady she is. I love her life outlook and I have a deep appreciation for her and her life. She did so much and always managed to help someone along the way. She didn’t complain as much as many do, with damn good reasons they do. She seemed to be able to handle the crazy life they lived thenZ I’m not at all saying anyone should not complain. I’m saying she seems to say what happened yet she doesn’t let that hold her back

I’ve only been listening for 10 minutes or so and it’s sad to see her reveling in her father’s greatness and hearing and seeing her love for him. I’ve listened half hour longer and I don’t think she’s going to be able to delve into what happened very much. It’s just too hard for her, I think.

this lady was a brilliant sculptor -

On apprend beaucoup dans ce long témoignage . La période d'après guerre dans les pays satellites de l'URSS comme la Hongrie est peu souvent commentée .Les juifs revenus dans leurs pays n'y ont pas eu une vie facile . Merci Madame Friedberg pour votre ténacité et résilience . Mention spéciale à l'interviewer Madame Tito pour l'intelligence de ses questions .

Like the Gabor sisters, this gorgeous lady comes from the country of magnificent, feminine and beautiful women.

She died in December 2, 2011. so many died so recently.

Beautiful lady

I am so sorry for all you have been through... And I can't help but admire your intelligence. Hungarians are probably some of the world's most intelligent people

Bravo

Two minutes into the interview, she's been interrupted three times. Why anyone would presume to interrupt a Holocaust survivor is beyond me.

I admire her sculpture very expressive and powerfull .....If her beautiful mother hadent had her Miracle baby . She would have gone on the left line

I grew up in a very similar way. I even lived like her with an alcoholic crazy man. My papi was a Converso however and I was born after the war.

My mother went to Swetich..

I’ve listened to so many testimonies. When everyone of them describe being hot so hard by a Nazi that it left them almost unconscious. Not one of them stated they cried or how bad it hurt. They just came to and went on with what they had to do. I probably would have cried my eyeballs out.

So sad realy..😪

1:13:01 "And My Baby"....Not my brother...but my baby.....and no special photos of the miracle baby to send to your father...

Aniko died December 2, 2011

This woman had God watching over her! Such a beautiful woman! She reminds me of Gerean

Aranybika berhaz.. - Golden Bull Apartments most elegant place of Debrecen.

The brick factory was like that in the 1970s.

I can't hear the audio... 😢

How do you live in a cattle car for two weeks with hundreds of other people? How is that even possible to survive? It sometimes is just unbelievable.

The brick factory had a rail joining the main railway system of Hungary.

She is debreceni...Synagog in Pasti utca...Vig mozi, Hatvan utca...

I knew she was Hungarian for sure.

This is where she lived...debrecenikepeslapok.blogspot.com/2015/05/a-100-eves-aranybika.html

Opatija is CROATIA

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺

Interestingly she is not the fist Auswittz survivor who said that Mengele az a very nice, good looking man.

Wtg, recollections of a 6yr old??
