This guy is incredible. Can you imagine being a child with nowhere to go, completely alone, and being hunted like a deer? That is a level of perseverance that few people would have.
Thank you for your sharing. My heart really bleeds for that young boy. I think it must be so difficult to re-live the horror and atrocities by your telling. ❤
You couldn't make a survival plan to make it. This poor boy managed to follow his survival instincts on a day to day basis. Much admiration and respect.
Dear Sir thank you for sharing your story with us. As a Christian I am humbled to hear what a little boy has been through because of human hate. But you're an amazing man and an example of what a human should be. God Bless!!
His words about his wandering and hiding as a child..."you know, most people felt sorry for me, they just wouldn't do anything." Makes me wonder how many of us still today 'just won't do anything.'
I asked a couple people what they would do if a person needed help. Most of them said if they didn’t have family living with them they would. Otherwise they wouldn’t put their family in danger. You never know how you would react.
Irv, having grown up in such a large, close family and community, as a 12-year-old on the run for his life, being literally hunted, the isolation and horror he must have felt leaving his family is unimaginable. He had good skills and exceptional survival instincts. Under the circumstances, he did probably exactly what he needed to do to survive. In his place, I don't think I would have lasted three weeks. There were Poles of modest means who at great risk to themselves hid and fed entire Jewish families in their barns for months or longer, but they were extremely rare. In rural areas and small towns, the type of people Irv encountered were more common.
He really wanted his kids to hear his story...an incredible story....but kids just don’t get it, especially your own kids, but I guess that’s normal. This man is such an amazing person, and has experiences that most of us just can not get our heads around.
Mr. Miller's mother must have known that her son had great courage to send him out of the ghetto. She could have sent his brother, who was older, but she sent him. And he made it!
I just learned that Chelm was a real place! I read my friend’s Sholem Alechem stories as a child, but it never occurred to me there was such a place. I think I’ll revisit them now that I’m retired and have a little more time.
Oh my gosh 😢 What fear and hell this man lived through as just a child! God definitely had his hand upon him. I imagine his mothered prayed hard for him! Lest we forget!!
This interviewer is constantly interrupting and asking questions beginning in the middle of the interview. BE QUIET LET HIM SPEAK. I can't BELIEVE they didn't vet these interviewers, some are so obnoxious. This one isn't even among the worst.

So dangerous for a young boy. Without his mum, family, shelter, food. Safety. He must have been so scared. 😥in some of these Interviews....their bellys were rumbeling. Understandable that they might have been hungry. Sure...had to be..but so so long. Anyways very touching.
Passover is celebrated for seven days in a lot of very religious Jewish people. At least that's what I've read. You know how in the Bible in Exodus when God tells them to eat the bread for six days and have the feast on the seventh and do all the things that set them free (don't wanna get graphic) I'm not Jewish so I can't say it's celebrated still with everyone that way.. I'm just remembering past reading from a very long time ago but I know for sure it's celebration for seven days.

Thank you for this testimony. His pain is so obvious.
So true
this poor man obviously has post traumatic stress disorder . . .bless his soul,what an amazing young boy he must've been to have survived such a hell
Many of the survivors must have been suffering with terrible CPTSD.
My grandma was in the camps. My grandma had mental issues. She licked. My but hole 24 7 and poppas too and mo.mas but hole 24 7

What a lovely gentleman!
His testimony really shook me. He also has the saddest eyes. He's been through so much, God bless this man. I hope in his life he was loved much. 💙
I hope that by talking he was able to relieve some of his pain - so sad.
It's amazing what they lived through even when they felt like dying. I'm glad his survival instinct was so strong. SALUTE Irvin!
Irvins life story is so inspiring and brave to go through all that happened on his own god bless you sir x
What a brilliant story and man

One of the most amazing and courageous story.

Mr.Miller is a real survivor. I can't imagine all the things he went through.
Thank you Mr. Miller for your story.

i loved listening to this man.
he lived in Ostrozhets. this is my native village😢
may his memory be a blessing
It is very nice to hear about your young childhood. I see the pleasure on your face recalling those memories.
💔
Seems quite painful for him to recount his story, naturally. R. I. P.
Oh my gosh 😢 What fear and hell this man lived through as just a child! God definitely had his hand upon him. I imagine his mothered prayed hard for him! Lest we forget!!
Did he write any book? Let me know, please.Miraculous survival.
So ridiculous to chase down a young person like this, like he was a thief. Nothing but respect and compassion for these folks!
This interviewer is constantly interrupting and asking questions beginning in the middle of the interview. BE QUIET LET HIM SPEAK. I can't BELIEVE they didn't vet these interviewers, some are so obnoxious. This one isn't even among the worst.
Unfortunately they are mostly that way. I sit through it because I respect these survivors but they DO make it hard.
Totally agree
These critical notes are without any real foundation.

After all he survived, this brave man was stabbed to death in his Bexley, Ohio home in 2000 by his tenant Steve Brown over some minor dispute. So incredibly sad.
Poor man. Some Ukrainians.... Not good, not good! Ervin still seems traumatised.
About the Ukraines...listen to the polish about Vhinya

is Miller a common Jewish name?
Passover lasts seven days ?
He meant the food was leftover I think. Before refrigeration I don't know how they did it without getting sick.
Passover is celebrated for seven days in a lot of very religious Jewish people. At least that's what I've read. You know how in the Bible in Exodus when God tells them to eat the bread for six days and have the feast on the seventh and do all the things that set them free (don't wanna get graphic) I'm not Jewish so I can't say it's celebrated still with everyone that way.. I'm just remembering past reading from a very long time ago but I know for sure it's celebration for seven days.
I never in my life would thought the last name Miller would’ve been a Jewish last name in Louisiana we have tons of millers non are Jewish.
Probably changed last name to make it more “Americanized” ?IDK
