    How very very heartbreaking, when this wonderful man was young and should have been excited for the rest of his life to come, he lived in fear, just heartbreaking, when he cried I cried for him as well :( such a lovely man, I just hope he got to feel true hapiness during his life after what he went through! :(... God bless the Jewish people!

    Disappointed to hear that Switzerland was just as antisemitic as Germany. In the USA we were always taught how neutral Switzerland was.

    Lovely man. I am making an observation, I love to listen to the mens' interviews as opposed to the womens' . Most of the women
    seem to have come from middle to upper class families where as the men had more reality going on about life. They came from working class families and speak about how hard and simple life was back then.

      I agree. Only watched 1 female interview that was interesting... Can't remember her name but it was the traumatized woman with the haunted expression. Now, I only listen to the men .

      I find every one of them fascinating, man or woman. Every story is so very different. So many examples of bravery and courage.

      It may be related to the poor & working class usually being more orthodox (especially further East) with the young women more likely to have small children at the time, making it less likely for them to survive.

    A person who is forcibly held against his or her will as a means of forcing someone to pay a ransom to the kidnappers is a hostage.
    I’m surprised the interviewer couldn’t help out Mr. Weiss with the word, especially since he came close to saying it correctly.

    I am absolutely dumb founded! How in the world did he survive all of those camps? Out of all of perhaps 50 or 60 survival stories I have listen to so far, Harry went through more camps and had to create a way to survive These in human situations! His ingenious way of survival is incredible!!! His experience in the coal mines what’s absolutely horrendous! I do wish he had explained more about his life in Sevierville. Sevierville is Dolly Parton country! It is in the mountains of Tennessee, about 45 miles from Knoxville Tennessee.I know the area well Because I lived in Knoxville for years and now live in Nashville

    Emotionless interviewer, just sticking to his list of questions and trying to get out answers step by step but not irritating like female interviewers. By the way mr. Harry is very wonderful person.

    I wish the foundation could make several smaller files instead of one very big. Nevertheless, thanks for making history tangible and understandable

      You can make smaller files out of it yourself. These uploads are as long or short as they need to be because of what they are. You don't have to watch it all in one sitting.

    This interviewer is simply not up to the job. He is ignorant in so many ways. Even when prompted by his interviewee, instead of saying 'hostage' he says 'kidnap' and then 'detainee'.
