its a shirt, hardly constitutes as historic memorabilia. This had zero significance on the war. I wouldnt pay $5 for this shirt, zero ways to verify it was even that person's shirt.
He sounds like an amazing storyteller! I'm glad she survived and was able to pass on her story to him - and that now he can honor her by being a voice for his mother and thousands of others who were directly affected by those labor camps.
What a story, my grandparents spoke little about the war. In the later years my grandpa opened up a little bit and I can very much relate. I would never put a value on this, I would cherish it and use it to teach about the terrible things that have happened. Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it. This material should be captured in a book or movie. I applaud the gentleman to speak so lovingly about his mother and the wonderful gifts she gave him. What the Jewish people have endured during the terrible regime is not easy to put in words. You will feel it when you walk into an old camp (Arbeit macht Frei) and the sadness in Auschwitz is real.
I’ve watched this segment so many times. Always makes me choke up a bit. Thank you for being an excellent custodian of this significant story and items.
What a beautiful piece of History.. From a very dark time.. Fascinating story.. And really sad too. I'm so happy that these items are all still there, especially the story that comes with it makes it priceless..
Oh my God my heart is emotionally cry again...new good stuff and sad story about the every people suffering from the world war2..that's very very remarkable history..oh my..thanks you very much to share this wonderful story..
Sounds like Putin is doing the same thing in Unkraine. The Russian military has been raping, executing Ukrainian civilians, including women and children, and stealing/looting equipment, valuables, and food stores. No surprise the world has declared War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity against them. Pathetic
@Alex Pancheri who gets to label something as fascist? What is the barometer that is used to accurately judge whether a government is fascist? If we have people such as antifa being the arbiters then anyone to the right of justin Trudeau, will be a hate-filled bigot and need to be stamped out.
Echoing every positive comment. Thank you for sharing your family history and for having the heart to want to do right by your Mom and her fellow Humans of that terrible time in history. I'm also moved by the appraiser. It is clear he's affected and may even have connection to this reality as well. Deepest blessings to anyone altered by this and may you be in comfort and peace as you go on in your lives.
His story really touched me. While I happen to be Christian, I grew up in a very prominent Jewish neighbourhood in Toronto Canada. I also remember the first time I noticed numbers tattoo on someone’s wrist. Anyways I just wanted to share a story with you. Please don’t take any offence from my story, certainly none was meant. I remember as a child that I volunteered to be a school crossing guard. If I remember correctly I must have been in grade four or five at the time. One of the perks for being a crossing guard was that if it was cold we could go to the office and get a cup of hot Ovaltine. While there I got to know the old gentleman who was the real crossing guard at the crosswalk at one the main road. One day I noticed that there were numbers on his wrist and asked him what they were for. When I did so, I noticed that his demeanour changed, he was no longer the very happy odd man I knew, he got very serious and said I was much to young to know. I asked him every day for about a week and he told me to ask my mother, if she thought I was old enough, then she could tell me. It was a Friday and when I asked my mom she too had a change in demeanour. She sat me down and explain what they meant. This was in the seventies so we didn’t have the internet, so we went to the Library. Turns out my mom knew the woman who worked there and had called ahead. My mother was a teacher and didn’t believe in talking down to kids and within reason they let me read what was put aside for me and also let me see photos of the death camps. I remember see Oscar and ran into his arms, remember this was in the seventies and not all men were pedophiles, and we cried for what seemed like an eternity. For years after I remember seeing the tattoo on men and women’s arms every so often and would feel like I got punched in the stomach each and every time. Some would notice and our eyes would meet. I hope to think they could tell them how sorry I was. There were even a few times where the men would give a nod, or the women would smile a sad smile. It was like I was part of a awkward club that I never wanted to be part of.
And we think we have it rough, or our gripes and woes are valid. More people need to hear these stories and get knocked down a peg or two. Thank you for the showcase and reality check this morning 🌞
I will never forget watching a video a Holocaust survivor made during trumps presidency. People comparing America to Nazi Germany had this man in tears and absolutely beside himself. People are disgusting and beyond out of touch!!
What an amazing story. I have known many who were in concentration camps and work camps and I feel everyone of those stories are stories we need to hear and share.
This collection would serve well in a local museum where the family can still revisit it and where the public can learn about history. We have a local museum with a collection that is made up from items that were donated by the people that live here and that gave information about the background of the items. That is much more valuable and interactive then just being presented items that were "found" or collected somewhere with no background. Biggest respect to the owner for the way he was able to present the items and their history and to the appraiser for being a human being with passionate emotion.
She was an extremely beautiful young woman. Her heirlooms are invaluable. I could listen to her son talk about the Holocaust all day. He's quite the raconteur.
This stuff moves me deeply. My second ex-wife is Jewish and her parents were 1st generation Americans.Her father was a Russian Jew and her Mother was a Latvian Jew. The Baltic Jews were eradicated by the Holocaust so all of her mothers people are gone. You couldn't be more a Goy than me but I still feel such a connection and such empathy for Survivors of this crime. Maybe it's past life stuff or something but I feel like it happened to me or my family.
That detail of her being under five feet tall and the German to whom she was speaking being over six feet is brilliant. It instantaneously catapults the listener back in time into the girl's shoes and sets the perspective in a single bound.
I see the young woman in the photograph and remember that my mother had one of herself taken very similar to it. She looked also radiant and she was living her normal peaceful youthful life in a little country called Costa Rica. So to think that because this joyful looking woman couldn't have her life and her family and her dreams fulfilled like my mom did something was stolen from the whole of humanity. Is a little bit of shame and a lot of sadness but most of all a lot of hope for a better future. Lest we forget!
Such a terrible, terrible mark on world history. The fact that there are people who deny the Holocaust is sickening. What happens when the last Holocaust survivor dies? Will it make it easier for people to believe it never happened - despite all the documentation? When I was a child, my mother and I were in line in a grocery store. My mom pointed out an older woman who was a few people ahead of us as a nurse she worked with. Then she mentioned her arm. There, on the woman’s arm (which carried burn scars) was a tattooed number, identifying her as having been in one of the German camps. It made a huge impression on me.
As a German, I never knew that some people were kept in labour camps until so late. I thought by then most known Jews had been sent to death camps. You learn something new every day! What an interesting family story as well, especially with some of the siblings being reunited. I'm glad his mother didn't have to go through all the grief and trauma after the war alone.
Yeah u can't really put a value on something like that, it should definitely go to a museum IMO, so many young ppl nowadays don't seem know or care about history and to see stuff like this makes it more real to them I imagine.
A very touching story! My Dad fought in WWII in Europe and joined the US Air Force after the War. He was stationed in Germany and I was born there about 10 years after the War ended. I have always had an interest and soft spot in my heart for the people who were treated so badly by sinister German leader and his forces. All of those lost souls!! So terribly sad! I'm so glad this man's mother survived, but like he said, she should have been having fun teenage years instead of fighting for her life back then. I've always hated seeing people treated badly for simply being different in one way or another.
Was it normal for holocaust survivors to be able to send and receive mail? Seems quite strange to me. Also the photo of her seemingly almost happy. Strange
My hats off to the jew survivers and so many other groups of people that have survived horrors of humanity but but these people these days that try to cry just Crack me up so fake are people these days can imagine people of our generation going thru anything at all without totally breaking down
We still act out this horrific behavior on billions of animals a year behind closed doors. I have seven uncles who I never met because they were slaughtered in the holocaust.
I guess we should start collecting stuff from Palestine and Gaza to for the future 😁😁😁😁….. the biggest and longest concentration camp in history , and it’s made in Israel 🫣🫣🫣🫣
I'm not trying to be judgmental but why would he not donate these to a Holocaust museum, or just pass them along to his family members. Somehow it cheapens a loved one's memory to put a monetary value on such items. This is just my opinion. I am so sorry for this lovely woman's tragic experience.
"priceless" isn't something that's helpful to a museum or for insurance purposes. you can't just put them on a shelf in a museum and leave these objects alone. they need cataloging, conservation, and upkeep. how much an object is worth in money terms helps budget that. if a museum had a fire and the objects were destroyed they would have about that monetary value to replace them with similarly important artifacts. if this person's home was destroyed in a disaster and the objects with it, while they are irreplaceable that $10,000 in insurance is a big help for rebuilding. people don't just have things appraised on the roadshow because they are interested in selling. i hope that answers your question! :)
Many more Russians died in that war than jews but knowone talks about that so all of the people that hate Russia should be thankful that there not speaking German right now . Go Russia I'm rooting for you. Still
I've never seen an appraiser become emotional. A fascinating story.
One of the most amazing items ever shown on the ROADSHOW. Thank you for sharing it.

I'm 55 and my Grandad fought in WW1 and it's amazing to me to think I have heritage so great and I dearly loved him. He died in 1994 at the age of 94.
I’ve watched this segment so many times. Always makes me choke up a bit. Thank you for being an excellent custodian of this significant story and items.
Im here because of 4 elders who lived through the holocaust. I always asked about the tattoos, but they never talked about it. I miss them.
This needs to be in a museum!
What a beautiful piece of History.. From a very dark time.. Fascinating story.. And really sad too. I'm so happy that these items are all still there, especially the story that comes with it makes it priceless..
What an amazing story of an incredible woman. May her memory, and those who perished during the Holocaust, live forever.

Wow what an amazing WW2 story. Let's never forget the atrocities that was done by an aggressive and ruthless regime such as Nazi Germany.

You could feel how hard it hit the appraiser too; I'm glad he handled the job gracefully and empathically.
Incredible. Emotional. Powerful story
It was so touching that the appraiser's voice cracked. He was obviously so very moved by this piece of history.

So sad...I'm going through a not so great time right now but this made me realize my life isn't all that bad...
I hope things get better for you soon.
hope the best for you and your future ♥
Hope there are better times for you soon!
Great personal story .
Never forget!
All holocaust deniers need to be sent this video. What a depressing but at the same time awe-inspiring tale.

Life must be so much simpler and nicer for those that choose to deny such atrocities and not live in reality. Never forget or we are doomed to repeat.
An incredible collection. It's beautiful to have so much detailed history with the items. Never forget.
What an incredible story.
This is so true, but also heart breaking 💔
I consider the history tied to this item priceless. You can't assign a monetary value to something this precious.
beautiful, heartwrenching story. hard to put a value on this but good on the appraiser for acknowledging this
Priceless items. More because of what they stand for, than their material value.
I STARTED Crying when I seen this , SO SAD
The most important item I’ve ever seen on this show, this item is absolutely priceless.
Such a terrible, terrible mark on world history. The fact that there are people who deny the Holocaust is sickening. What happens when the last Holocaust survivor dies? Will it make it easier for people to believe it never happened - despite all the documentation?

I hope..because there are so few witnesses left..that these stories are told and told..remembered and told .
We need to teach this in American schools. Evidently some extremist Americans forgot what happened during world war 2.
Heartbreaking. Never again.
Much sadness.
My conservative parents dont believe these events happen. My mom's dad even fought in WW2 and liberated a camp in WW2.
History s important!
Absolutely!
Your mother was very beautiful. Glad she survived to tell her story.

you forgot to change the title, it still says "YT Watermark".
May their memory be a blessing.
it is impossible to put a cash value on these items . i am not jewish , but these have to be put into a museum for others to learn .
Nice RUclips watermark
The real value is to educate... wait did you say $10,000

Probably Rick too, but for $10 -- and he would be taking a huge risk.
Awesome story. May your family stay blessed sir!
