What a kind soul Gloria is! As I listen to survivor testimony, divine interventions through "helpers" and courageous acts stand out. While the interview of Gloria's granddaughter at the end of the tape was problematic for secondary/tertiary trauma victims, how wonderful to capture her saying, , “No one could have as much courage as my grandmother. I don’t know if I would be able to.” Gloria's experience was unique in that her father was able to use his money, intellect and persuasion to protect most of his family until mid-'44. Some valuable highlights - Maybe because I was young and wanted to live. I had to remind myself, “Remember who you are, because I felt like I was losing my mind…I’m Geeta Shnagel, born September 9, 1930. You come to a point that you don’t feel like a human being any more.” She never told anyone she was Polish. Most of the girls were Slovakian or Hungarian (because they were the last transports and most of the others had already died). There was prejudice among Jews about Polish Jews - “there’s prejudice everywhere”. The Danes announced they were free. She said she was in a daze. "What does it matter? I’m all alone in the world. I don’t know who I am. I have nobody. It didn’t mean anything to me. I just couldn’t be happy (upon liberation)." The Swedes were so different than the Poles or the Slovaks. Different people can be different." So grateful for the hope Gloria had and continues to inspire!
Is it just me, or do others thinking the interviewer borderlines on being impatient and rude at times? Given how difficult it must have been for this lovely lady to tell her story, the interviewer could have been a lot more gracious and respectful.
Please never allow this woman to conduct this type of interview. She is totally insensitive (probably unconsciously) to the emotions and to the magnitude of this topic. With her interruptions she is interrogate not interviewing.
So glad she survived and married happily with three children and grandchildren. And hopefully many more grandchildren and greatgrandchildren to come. Unbelieveable how she has adapted and is happy after living through all that horror. Maybe her youth at the time made her more resilient. Raised her children well, they are all so well educated.
nice lady ..happy ending..interviewer too forceful and should've kept herself quiet, it annoys me when they think their questions are more important than the story the interviewee is trying to explain
Heel dapper en heel erg bedankt dat ze dit met ons wil delen. Jammer dat de vrouw op de achtergrond zo duidelijk aanwezig wil zijn. Vreselijk. En schandalig!
So, this is the last one I'm gonna watch for a while. I have a stomach ache n m in a sour mood,so, I can see why the father from the previous video did not tell his children his story as to not to bum them out, but, as adults, they know.
Nothing but the greatest respect for the courage and determination of this lady and the other witnesses who survived the Nazi camp horrors.
The interviewer shouldn't have interrupted her so much and let the testimony flow smoothly.
Never forget their biographies, and honor them, by sharing.❣️🙏🦋
She really is a spectacular woman. Thank God she survived.

Beautiful, well spoken lady, surviving an unimaginable horror.
Beautiful lady , I can only imagine the horrors she and her family endured. God bless her and others effected by these horrible nazis .

What a nice lady. Terrible what her and her family went through.
Hey story is inspiring. I am a stronger person, who desires to be better from her experiences. Thank you for sharing ❤️
