I met Mr. Clary when I was in Jr.High when he came to our school to share his story. I remember walking home very quietly and didn't make it to my room before I began to cry for what felt like hours mourning the loss of life. Mr. Clary has forever changed my life. I am forever grateful.

One of the most heartbreaking, thoughtful, honest, poignant, informative and powerful stories on the Holocaust by a survivor I've ever seen and heard. Robert Clary, God bless you, and thank you for educating us.

I... I have tears in my eyes. As a child of the 1970's I remember watching him in Hogan's Heroes. I would never have imagined he went through that kind of hell. Listening to this I've learned some of Frances role... It touched me that he mentioned the African American experience once he got to the United States after barely surviving the monsters of his own country. Today is 11/17/2022, The day after he died and after watching this... I'm so sorry to see him go. The world really needs this speech now more than ever! Rest in peace Mr. Clary

Robert Clary is a hero....an inspiration to all.

Thank you for standing up to the revisionists. I also wish that the soldiers who first came to the camps would have spoken out more of what they found.

I'm happy to hear that Robert Clary is speaking out

Wow... As a child I loved his character on Hogan's Heroes... As an adult... I know he should be the international lecturer... the testimony to the truth... this his how he should be remembered for eternity.

We must never, never forget. Well said Mr Robert Clary, very well said. This video brought tears to my eyes and fear in my heart that if these truths are forgotten or hidden it could happen again.

God bless you Mr. Clary

I will always remember the words of Mr. Robert Clary. I hope one day I can meet him and listen to him speak in person.

It's a shame that more people haven't seen this! God Bless you, Mr. Clary Thank you for continuing to speak truth.

I read his biography because I loved his character on Hogan's Heroes so much. I was in my late teens/early 20's. I remember asking my public library to buy a copy, just so I could get my hands on it. I was so excited to read it. I loved his bio. I was deeply moved by his life's journey. I remember crying while reading it. Thank you for sharing your story, Mr Clary. The world needs it to remember.

Thank you very much for this. I was born in 1992 and, as Mr. Clary appears to be implying, I am also a secular Jew. My jewish grandfather was born in Hungary in 1926 and also experienced the horrors of the Holocaust. He pasted away in 2002 so, i never got to talk with him about it but my mother said that he never liked to discuss it for obvious reasons. She said that he really enjoyed Hogans Heroes. As a 26 year old, I love this show and I watch it on tv and the internet a lot. I love the characters, the plot, the impressions, the humor and it is just a joy to watch. Thank you to all the cast and to you Mr. Clary for your work and for speaking out. It would be an honor to shake your hand sir. All the best!

The truest and most poignant recollections of that horrific period are told not by documentaries, but by the personal stories of those such as Mr. Clary. The world will be a lessor place when they have all passed. Thank you very much Mr. Clary! I'm sorry for the tragic loss of your family yet happy that you survived to educate the world.

This needs to be mandatory teaching in every school in North America and Europe.

Wow, I've been looking for Robert Clary's story for so long. It's ironic that the love of a kid's show led me to learn more about the holocaust. I was shocked when I found out the Hogan's Heroes star was the sole survivor of a family of nine. I came of age in the 70s. I understand what he's talking about. I never thought in 2021 it would be so significant.

Very moving. We are so lucky here in North America.

This was amazing to listen to in its profundity and gut-wrenching sadness. I started to watch it right before bed out of curiosity and could not turn away. An hour later I sit here with such a terrible weight in my heart. Thank you for sharing this video, these kinds of lessons and stories about history and the personal aspects of the people who survived it are too often forgotten nowadays. When my son is older, I know I will share this video with him so he can know this story and understand the implications of lessons we should never forget. God Bless.

I just came across this on KZfaq. What a wonderful speaker. I was in tears listening to his story. How wonderful to have this testimony forever. I hope those kids he was talking to never forget this speech. He was so right. Power hungry people always make the world worse.

In 1985, the History Club and the Lectures and Films Committee of Rhode Island College invited Mr. Clary to speak over two days to classes and to a packed auditorium about his experiences during the Holocaust. I was privileged to invite him through the Wiesenthal Center and to make the local arrangements for his trip. Over the two days of his visit, I was enthralled, saddened, outraged and more importantly, educated about the horrors of the Holocaust and his own extraordinary personal experiences. When he appeared before the SRO crowd in Gaige Auditorium, he was introduced by our then college president, John Nazarian, whose parents were Armenian genocide refugees. Once President Nazarian introduced him, Mr. Clary spoke for over an hour and in that hour, he held us in the palm of his hand. There wasn't a sound from the audience at first (the proverbial "could have heard a pin drop") and as he spoke, more and more people began to sniffle and to cry and by the time the formal presentation ended, there literally wasn't a dry eye in the house. Even President Nazarian was in tears because of how Mr. Clary's story of suffering triggered memories of the stories of his parents and other relatives who had escaped from the Armenian massacres by the Ottoman Turks. As long as I live, I will never forget that experience nor will I forget how much Mr. Clary moved me and moved the souls of nearly a thousand others with me who, for a brief time, shared his story and his pain and his genuine joie de vivre. My only regret is that more of my friends and colleagues, especially here at my school where I teach world history, won't ever experience his incredible ability to make us see through his words one of the most important and devastating events of evil in history.

I will remember what you said Mr. Clary! I am thankful about you telling your story for the coming generations!

Thank you for Sharing this, I think this should be shown All over the country in every school. God Bless this man.

Thank you Robert, if I was in that audience, my question would be, when filming Hogan's Heroes, did you have any bad memories still seeing actors dressed up as Germans. If it was me, I be crying every night. Mr, clary I'm 60 years old and I watch Hogan's Heroes since the 1970 till this very day. My hats off to you, Corporal LeBeau, bless you sir....

Shalom, Mr. Clary

I visited the Buchenwald site last week knowing Robert Clary's story. Let's hope the lessons of the past are learned so that they cannot be repeated in the future. Rest in Peace Robert Clary.

God bless you! Thanks so much for talking to kids, they needed to hear your testimony.

A great man

What "A BRAVE" Young Man "YOU" were Robert Clary to have survived "ALL" that you went through from age 16 to 19. Brings me to tears your description of "ALL" that you went through & that so many others went through as well, in this talk that you have given for "ALL" of us to hear, "before" your own death in Nov. 2022. Your Mother & Father must of smiled down upon you from Heaven, as you gave this talk when you were alive upon this earth & they would of been so "VERY" proud of "YOU" relaying to other's your message "To not hate." "Thank you" & "God rest your soul" and may your "JOY" now "BE GREAT" for you as you are reunited with your Dear Parent's & Your "BEAUTIFUL LOVING Mother" & also Your beloved Wife of whom you "LOVED" "SOOOO VERY MUCH" ALL on the other side of Heaven with "YOU" now. May Your JOY be great now & "Thank You" also to the person who put this talk out there on You Tube so "THAT WE NEVER FORGET."

How horrified he would be now.

Outstanding!

Robert Clary speaks clearly and should be listened to. He speaks out about what Trump is advocating about what Hispanics, Jews, Moslems native Americans and Asians will have to go through.

I feel terrible for Robert Clary and other survivors of the Holocaust, the hell they went through, losing so many members of their families, and the trauma and nightmares that they have to endure for the rest of their lives. I hope and pray that they can find peace with God!

I am heartbroken for what Robert and all those who died in the camps. As Robert asked, so should we---if we hate, why do we?

How a man so small carries a burden and nightmare this large I will never know. May God bless and comfort all of them.

Thank you for talking about this hard topic. As one of Jehovah WittnessesI have heard muchof what happen in the campa. There was many Jehovah wittnesses in the camps. We as human need to know the truth of these horor. Love what you doing for all those who had some history . You open my eyes to much more then I have heard.. can't thank you enough Robert for speaking our.

Please listen. Learn. This is truth. It can happen again. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Thank you. Merci".

54:58 "Why do do hate?" That's the question... Just realized he passed away a few days ago.

Live the art of kindness!

:( thank u for sharing :(

listening to Mr clary while watching NG channel about the liberation un real NEVER FORGET!

33:18

I had a cousin I could not find a Marcus from my grandmothers sister Toby who died in Poland because he was a musician but desired to be a doctor. Mr. Clary is unbelievable.

And, now it's all happening here, We can't let it happen here.

I have his book. I am glad he talks and wrote his book!!!

Wow, just wow! A quite compelling story. Never forget.

Thank you. I am very interested in this, as I have thought i am Jewish for a long time. When my Mother passed, in with her Jewelry, I found the mezuzah which is on the side of the door. Thank you again

Rest in Power King

An amazing story from an amazing man. Please keep the history of the Holocaust alive and remember the horrors committed by men on their fellow man. This was true racism.

God Bless Robert

Oct 7 2023!

I'm glad Mr. Clary isn't alive to see what's happening right now in this country...

What a great man and a great way to treat people after he was treated like sub human!!!!💯🔨👍🏻🏈💡🎼🍀❤️🙏🐟💎✨rip to a great man!!!

Que Dieu bénisse cet homme.

My mom hated "Hogan's Heroes." She complained that WWII and Nazis were nothing to make light of. She experienced nothing of the horrors, yet this man and others with there own dark experiences of Nazi Germany thought it was fine to participate in the TV series. I'm very confused.

How were you able to be in Hogan's Hero's and not have bad dreams and flashbacks? I was a child and didn't watch that show very much. Even at a young age I didn't think there was anything funny about war or concentration camps. I still don't. You are a great speaker, teacher and a good example of endurence to the end.

I think I now understand "Col. Hogan's" requests for "an extra slice of bread"........if it were up to me "Oui....in fact Pico/Robertson...it's called Beverlywood Bakery"

People talk, people talk alot. Wait until they actually see the consequences of their words. Watch the Nuremburg Trials. Listen to people talk about how things were. Deplorable, that people can do this to other people. I have seen the films, I need no more, I want no more.

36:20 what 208 Vernon drive was like

4:18 this includes all of gbatemp

13:05 it's a good set of traits...

1:00 I can say I'm a survivor of the United States and British pharmaceutical and psychiatric industry Dat disability doc should watch and listen, show his military, nsa, irs, cia, and fbi friends too

Pat Buchanon??? Please

Every BLM and AntiFa menber needs to watch this and then think long and hard about their goals.

Pat Buchanan is the same as Saddam Hussein? Really?

There's a system "We" can use! "We the people...!"/"We..." the problem! "we" humans, got lazy, and let govs do our "duty" for us, w/ our "toys"! Please help us fix this! Quickly! Easily!! There's one extra way! Please consider! Young folks must employ this, too! "We" needs you! (A vet asking you millions of other Vets, to provide our backbone!)! Here; in a 21st century context! [Note: paraphrasing!]! For comprehensive contingencies managing! "Civil defense is emergency [contingencies] management!" (EMI / FEMA)! Using; CEM / [Comprehensive Contingencies Management: cyclical phases of: mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery (EMI / FEMA)! Through an IEMS / Integrated [contingencies] Management System, which includes all sectors: private, public, and government (EMI / FEMA)! FEMA recommends we maintain secondary EOCs ( [contingencies] Operations Centers)! "We" can use that ! To build our own, for "We", as the "4th Branch!" And; "We" don't need anyone's permission! Over the decades, our govs have claimed everything "civil defense" as under "Civil Defense"; thus, under gov's authority and controls! And, "they" are not likely to let go of such absolute power! Thus; now it's called, "DHS / Dept. of Homeland Security, which is in authority over FEMA! [Note: your local DES Director can launch an FBI investigation on anyone, from spite, alone! Thus; Nazi capabilities and tactics!]! Folks, "civil defense" is "civilian"; thus, any human cashing a government paycheck, may be "civil government", but that $$$ represents a serious conflict of interest, especially for any person appointed as DES, or DHS Director, by the newly elected "party!" [Note, instances: A good FEMA Director, James Witt, ousted! Or; "Project Impact", w/ the goal, "to build disaster resistant communities!", ended by GW Bush! (Yes! It needed improvement; but, it focused on getting folks actively involved in our community's "civil defense" system!]! Thus; how to get back in, to take it back, and make it a good, civilian, perpetual, social system! Your/ Our system is simple! Build a neutral / objective, liaison / logistics, "matrix " NGO! Where We" can plug in all the basic systems we need: internet capabilities, data, academics, etc. [Thus; a suggested name must equal it's goal, mission, and objective s! Connects all sectors, again... Clean and democratic! I highly recommend, the name: "DES" - "Support, Services, & Systems!" More later.]. (Imagine having your own NASA type control center capabilities; with, hands-on learning potential, within academics! Imagine clicking an icon, that takes you to your own contingencies management site, for any issues: maps, charts, graphs, reports, studies, data, surveys, polls, etc! A place to plug in your views!)! Start with, we millions of Vets, for a quick backbone! We are civilians, who know stuff, like tactics, strategies, a professional system! (And; I might add, the reason most of us departed after our first tour = hate for anything smelling like tyranny... bullies holding power ! Vets are only a quick place to start, where all can get involved, as part of a system with nominated / elected leadership, from among our best! Folk won't follow anyone less!). What I'm proposing, is the contingencies management system FEMA recommends! It's our back way, back into, "their" system; while, such actually belongs to "We"! Since; "we" ain't welcome through the front! "We" got lazy, and let "them" take over our responsibilities! "We" can take it back, very quickly... Basically, over night, from our homes! This NGO will provide us with an easy "projects" management capability, where we can all pick our areas of interest, and can contribute our voices! Where ""We" can map our governments, pick them apart, streamline them, clean out the excess, the filth, for an efficient respectable republic! From within a "Project" (eg, Voting), "we" can then choose "Mission" areas to study, and to contribute (who, when, where, what, which, why, how...)! Reviving this system will restore gov. oversight for "We"!... = Project - Whistles Blower - a buffer! = A place to speak our minds, in complete continuous safety, with the folks we chose to be available trusted options, to represent them, as middle buffers, who work to resolve issues. Not appointed by gov, "to help!" Note, the covert concept, "safety in enemies midst!" This is our way, to send in trustworthy folks, to "infiltrate" "their" systems, to end corruption! Thus; the legally accepted way! Point blank, and deliberately, in "their" faces! Now! By you and me! Over night! Again; "their" systems belongs to all of you! By birth! However, "We" must preserve a system of "Professional First Responders", too! Thus, "We" needs both! Thus; those under paycheck type restrictions, with the rest of us helping out, as we should be, anyway! "DES" is "Disaster & Emergency Services" (= gov / "Professional Responders"). While;... We can be the DES "Support, Services, & Systems" (thus; access, again!)! However, it's for humans, which means, inclusion! Thus; all !!! (I recommend a movie, for understanding. While the movie excludes "politicians", our's can not! In this, "We" must stomp ego out of it ... = no titles, labels, etc. When the movie ends, I invite you to help to create a contemporary version of that portrayed system! I suppose, in a great way, "We" can take up where they're drama left off, but I real life! "Meet John Doe", w/ Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwick). Note this! DHS is potentially illegal, because it's built on "the Civil Defense Act of 1950." Which states nothing of the private sector! Thus; along the way, we got lazy and let gov take over our responsibilities in "civil defense!" And; bad leaders have turned it into a gestapo, against us, in the name of "emergency management!" Note, the old 1964 Civil Defense manuals! Thus; "active and passive civil defense being integral to national security posture!" - "active" = "armed" "Minute....." - "passive" = facilities, personnel, Coms, etc. Thus; I highly recommend the Swiss example, built into our republic! Immediately! The gapping hole, the way in: FEMA is desperately trying to get folks involved in community [contingencies] management, to help! They created the CEM, the IEMS, EOCs, for all of this, to serve us. Which is their plea for "all sectors to be involved: public, private, and gov."! (Find a dictionary: - "civil" = non military, non police, non eclesia, ...! - "civil defense"...!) However; note the 1776 concept! "Minute man, woman, kid, elder" = neighborhood incident management ! = comprehensive contingencies management... Bring it into a 21st century context! Among us! To provide a simple basic way to have voice! Thus; "A well regulated [ comprehensive contingencies management system s]] being necessary to the [national security posture] of a free state, the right of the people to [employ a Swiss type system won't likely be] infringed!" [Note: I'm a Vet, '73-78, but I have not ever owned a firearm! Thus; I can't be call militia, since such is kind of a prerequisite... ! ... Or not??? I managed Armories, MOS-2111/0354, so l must claim, knowledge and experience, thereof! Nevertheless; stand the f... by, if "My Lady Liberty" is threatened! I'd rather do so through our accepted legal way!) This is the only way, to be accepted by DES, for us to gain complete access! "Their" system actually belongs to "civil defense"! To you! Look into the different titles it's had, since the 1940s! Read the dissertation about it, by: Boyce Wayne Blanchard. And; about his ride in FEMA, at EMI. Thus, FEMA development of grad degrees in such fields; and, requiring BAs, for EOC Directors...! Along the way, "their" system was no longer interested in "civilians"! You'll usually find the door bolted, now. The only way in, is by invitation or appointment, by gov officialdom! We can build our own. "They" need us, too! [I'm old and tech ignorant! But, I have tons of incredible info you need! I need to pass it on! I can support all I've written here, and have support letters and recommendations!] Also; most military personnel receive NCB Warfare Recon, in Basic! "We" need those capabilities: to monitor, detect, contain, neutralize, and rescue humans from it! Use us to initiate a backbone... A standard! Please note: to those who have served in FET ! "We" need you to help us set this up, here, among mother's, sisters, daughters, grandmothers, families, neighborhoods...! Help us recon this virus, as well as other diseases, and to "clear areas", until "We" are safe, and beyond! Help us contend with contingencies! "Project" examples: ... Operations, Personnel, Projects, Admin, Finance (grant writers, for goodies "We" need for nailing down truth), our Web Sites (for info and participation, in this "4th Branch" system), Surveys, Polls, Voting, Community profiles [utilities, Logistics systems (roads, rails, shipping...), Medicine, S&R, Liaisons, Security, Solid & Liquid Waste, CEM (personnel, supplies, equipment, livestock, transport, storage...), Map government (so we can itemize where, and to who, our tax dollars go ....! Thus; Disaster & Emergency Services (Professional s) with "Support, Services, Systems" ("We") = better NCB Recon against chemical, biological, radiological, conventional warfare ( End diseases, pollution... !...)],... Continental Security, ... even Bigfoot (trust me!), Archeology (so folks can fill in what they've witnessed...), Anything! Everything! Standing by! Semper Fidelis! (jmheigis@gmail.com)

Same thing happening to day we are peasants because we dare know better than the "expert Dr.s " because we trust God instead of them.

14:09 ironic?

13:43 or just take a bunch of psychiatric drugs that fuck up your pleasure/reward system and the way you tend to think

I like to meet Robert clay he stayed alive by acting and dancing I feel bad about his family I think the German government was jealous at ww2 of the Jewish people

I'm embarrassed to say I had to stop listening at 44:15. Embarrassed because although he lived through it, I am not even strong enough to hear and serve as his witness. I don't have words to express my emotions right now. Except for fear. I feel great fear. That the world forgets or refuses to believe, and it happens again. The US has White supremacists in office now. Non-believers. New age Hitlers. Yes fear. Great fear.

He broke a minority code. It’s okay to be John Holmes because it’s about surviving. But it’s not okay to be Jerry Sandusky.

no wyou have to worry about joe biden , pelosi , the jino's and the phony right

3:50 wut happened to all dem Jewish children, they didn't seem special enough? ....

Pat Buchanan? That is going too far and delves directly into politics.

Its become acceptable under Trump in America today. "There are some good people..."

I just came across this on KZfaq. What a wonderful speaker. I was in tears listening to his story. How wonderful to have this testimony forever. I hope those kids he was talking to never forget this speech. He was so right. Power hungry people always make the world worse.
