Its pretty chill yeah ok thoroughly check out this other get out if they have been coming here for 14 years this is a place like no other. D. C. To say ok so yeah. I think its been 25. Straight. And i usually have a good. Drag i say if someone doesnt ask me ill say it to. Me they can do it. Better than. I must. Look for saturday. Thanks. By. You are no offense but youre no longer a young woman in fact youre one of the last living survivors of the nazis. And im aware of it. And i and im wondering how clear your memories of 70 years ago actually are. I think very clear you leave it. All you like. They forget. They. Know i was in the. Sea when the one. To. Day came and they come and i so i was close almost 14. Years to get to pertain to the place. I shall never forget in my life because i was like kinetic looking over that one to station place. And i witnessed many sounds. Horrible horrible. Looking down. On me and bullets hellish time. Sometimes of people tried to escape. Hiding places was under the bed which was. Cut out. Down close but we didnt have any and no. Linda. They had they came with a gentleman. Took us out. And they were bringing other people from the hiding. And we knew it was a major shock to us that i dare. My father. Never saw. My little sister escaped. And. The station. Impossible to. When you have such a horrible experiences as a youngster its left to fear some kind of fear. That you can add a normal person would not even on the stand. Because those horrible things what i have see in the skeletons of those people. And only dead looked around was dead to fear death and fear. So i have them etched there is no doubt about that if i would be not i would be like. So i keep myself always busy and this is helps me not to think. So much about what i went to this dark 8 terrible spot. In my great honor to introduce. Dr regina.

I want to star was one of the only meaning of my family for the war my mom is highlighted the metal her sister is the little girl in the back row with pigtails. Everyone else in this photo was murdered. And his sister survived the war in the forest with the partisans and lives in israel. My mom story of survival is incredible to. Capture as a teen just like you are witnessing the worst in 3 different doesnt he and 2 her liberation and marrying another survivor my father. Then settling here in kansas city to raise me and my brother and sister. I know that you have made it your part of your business to tell people firsthand what happened and i wonder what what happens to that he. Story what happens to the stories when you are gone this is there isnt speaking about speaking up and i will tell you what to prompt me. It was an awakening for me when i heard the skin heads denying. It never happened it was just like a tongue and to my brain to my mind to say hey sonia. This was the reason you survived you have to speak for them. In better than our streets when one day when we are a count that s. S. Men went to lord the lord arose and just you know how to talk our numbers and they start calling all of those numbers where they supposed to go to the guest i used to say to my daughter you fail each one Heart Company something my greatest fulfillment is speaking to a disturbance in schools because this is our future generation and then in the few minutes when you see this horrible horrible. Clouds. From the chimney. So you can imagine i dont know if you can imagine. Because you never knew where it would be you are. Speaking from your heart and speaking what took place in you when the witness if a reach their hearts in their make a change in their lives and take out the hate this would be my greatest accomplishment.

My mom grew up in illinois. Her dad and grandpa my moms side because they were a little someone from. Him and he shot in the house. Something she had to go through. And i really appreciate all my life because she is. A fighter she kind of. How were so friendly with example. My name is caroline. I am a catholic clone shark injure 14 years old i grew up in wilmington delaware. I am from new york age 13. But i do relate to. The jewish people and how they survived the holocaust because they are like a brother religion to us knowing that there was someone who just one person could kill over a 1000000 people makes me feel. Its hard for a good person. But there it is. But you young people i hope and if you do you will be strong and really stand up for the right things. For the right things because all the bottom line the main thing hes not to close your eyes when something is gong not that i my name is chris morris im the spending my mom was pregnant with me and the nurse. No no my rude. If you say. I can kind of relate to how you feel because i know like i love my family more than anything like my mom my best. And so i dont know. What i would do. My dad. Those are like all those years of your life that youre never going to get back. You have. A 40 year old 50. Thats crazy i just respect. I dont think i would ever be able to. I was your age you know when the war broke out there for things. And to see. Witnessing things what i have seen. It is like i say i dont care you hate i will not get no i cannot this have to come from a higher. I am not the one to forgive what i see. No but i will not hate because the hate. Will destroy me. And now b. I hate their like them. Your ability to say that youre not ever going to hate. When youre fighting with their siblings will be like oh i hate you or whatever but you dont hate them obviously but even just to say that is just wrong considering the fact that he will actually have a reason to hate. And i think it. Says thank you for that thank you thank. You. You know you. Are doing. Well and saying. I never told really. I had a very good eye for clothes but let me tell you. No tailored was really done. In the war. When the germans came mean they had allowed the use tailors. To kill. But here you can see em here by demand sheen sawing. C. C. M. This is the rush of a day. Heard still. To let it go its for the. Memories said memory its been. 9 months. Till august when i was seeing myself my motor walking to the guest. House. It was really i would say. Hand to left or right when you are ready to. Spend into camps when it needs. Selection. And. The ones for they would still make me smile. We were all day off walking. And the ones which is supposed to do against. My mum. And self to interact. With morning when i hear this i am missing something mr s. Like something was pushing for me. Oh i. Trying to find intelligible in it with a little. Look to the time that color. Is called to. Get into. My mouth. So. This is. All this i want to show you. Ok. This is my bed that almost killed a king so i bet. The little doubt all. Yeah this is this is a really unbelievable. It. Had to be 75 years and this kid. In this is was my mom. This is whats left of this. 6 yeah you can see the color was of the view beautiful yes. You know. This is what they cherish. And its so dear to me that no. No one can. Understand and i cannot even describe it myself when i hold my hand. Whenever i go to sleep she is with me shes always with. After the day that we all met sonya. I thought about it almost every day. She has impacted me in ways i could have never imagined like what she was telling us about her mom thats what got to me the most because my mom. Is everything to me and i watched her walk away from me knowing what was going to happen. I just i cant even imagine being Strong Enough to go on from that point. To. Natures are really hard to reach now theyre just structed with their phones with the internet the social networks and i think that sonia changed that for me at least. She had such a personal message that it was hard not to put yourself in her place and think about what he would be like to be her and i think that that got all of our intentions she mean we want to change things the way things are she made me want to make an impact on the world and i think thats why its so important that she keeps talking to people and keeps changing peoples lives like she did mine. And. We go to work. Straight home. 54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to air force base in alaska where is that to say come on ill show you whats the reason for any type of enhanced u. S. Military presence in this area russia. What is it suddenly about the South China Sea that makes it so that it 11000000000 barrels of oil. Take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have Nuclear Weapons capabilities there is reason for concern so thats why were going to drill down on the story for you today right here on the news with rick sanchez where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly its time to do news again. And you know the guys in my town ways dont. Panic itself to see it i. Was asleep got to. The feet in the distance and this is the book i want and i know just how much and i think. This is the only thing that we do is music because everybody fights use. The kind of this bill frist would. Give it a. Kind of. What i think is this is the that is. When i came out from this hell i really could not even shield happy ever and sometimes even people were joking about something i would catch myself if i was even letting i feel guilty. And its very probably difficult for a normal person to grasp and understand you leave with that all your life i want to point out we live with it we did not receive help like now when our boys are coming here know from the wars in then finally they need to mend you know for the how do you call it depression we didnt have to tell. The beatings were all the time gone. And. They would take off you know where you were but never your wedding and sometimes i would you know do it to a different way. To or sometimes to that
