    This is my fathers older sister. My aunt. How wonderful to stumble upon. I will forever be gratefull to the danish people for helping and saving our family and the rest of the tiny community. And i will as well be gratefull to the Swedes for taking the community in with open arms.

      That is so wonderful. I am happy for you. I am curious. Yes. She mentions speaking Yiddish so I am guessing they were from Poland first

      As I'm a Swede, I am very pleased Sweden acted as humans should.
      As well as the Danes, love and respect to the Bishop who helped and organized the rescue for several people😘

    My mother was also born in Denmark. I love hearing a Dane speak English. My moms cousin married a Jew in Denmark. They had a daughter. My moms cousin Lisa and their daughter Jytte escaped to Sweden in one of those fishing boats.

    The interview went very well.
    This interviewer at this time took the right amount of time to get information from the Survivor.
    It was a respectful interview.

    The synagogue in Krystalgade still exists. It's behind a metal fence. Maybe that's the word Ms Chalupovitsch was searching for when describing the synagogue.
    Tak. Meget rørende. En vigtig beretning for fremtiden, men også for nutiden.
    A privilege to listen to this testimony..

    Some of my Dad Fred White's family members died in the Holocaust. My Dad, Fred White was born on April 23, 1917, and he was in the NAVY during World War 2. There are exhibits at some of the museums for documents that are kept on file for family members of people who died in the Holocaust. There is also a genealogy research library at some of the Jewish centers.
    My Dad, Fred White's gravesite is located at Beth David Cemetery in Elmont, New York in Long Island.

    My Danish great aunts and uncles had some of the hugest noses and biggest ears I’ve ever seen. When they traveled they packed a picnic basket and stoped for a picnic. We use to say, They arrived wearing a crisp new white shirt and a twenty dollar bill and neither were charged while they were here.

      If you just turn the volume all the way up on an 8 year old I phone I can hear her, makes me really pay attention that much more. These ppl who were in their 30s during ww2 are long gone and I’m happy this exists. I’ll try to see if I can fix the sound but re uploading it will most likely be a problem…

      Finnish is not ‘an Asian language’. It’s an Finnougric language which languages are mostly spoken in Europe but also in some parts of Siberia.
