  Preserving history should be a priority. I'm not Jewish but we as Americans period aren't taking advantage of what our elders can give to us. 😊🙏✡️✝️

  Wonderful interview. This is history that needs to be shared and remembered. If we don’t learn from theses horrible times, they will be repeated. Thank you for your caring interviews.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2eglqRL5n4&amp;t=2843">47:23</a><br>Her “I’m going up and down!” is my absolute favorite. My great grandmother is 103 and I’m 100% sure one of the reasons shes made it this far is because she was always “going up and down” to her home with her loaf of bread from the corner bakery. Bless her heart and thank you for letting us hear her story. 🖤

  Thank you from bringing us this video. &nbsp;Bless Mrs. Schiff, she is such a remarkable woman. &nbsp;I was born in 1946 in a small village near Munich, Germany - my father saved my mother, siblings, grandmother and aunt from the train - &nbsp;My father was not Jewish, but he was a Sargent in the regular German Army, so with his status and some money he got my family off the train and told my mother to run into the forest and keep going South and he would find them! &nbsp;She also had help from the German farmers and they were able to stay in the barn and were given milk for my twin brothers and my sisters. &nbsp;So, she wound up in Schliersee, Germany where I was born. &nbsp;But my mother&apos;s family - the Misch family - went to Dachau! &nbsp;It is a time in history that should never be forgotten and should forever by remembered so that it will never, ever happen again!!!!

  I love listening to these stories. My grandparents never talked. They only acted with mime and gesture when it came to the Holocaust.
