    This is the first interview I have heard of a us soldier who returned to Europe and saw first hand what happened
    Great job by interviewer

    The person conducting this interview, is by far the most upbeat and caring person I have heard out of all of the testimonies I have listened to so far.
    The interviewer shared giggles, sighs & gasps.
    And although there was a bit of construction in the beginning, I was delighted to not hear a single phone go off & interrupt.

      Interesting though how we never hear of the Judeo-Bolshivik terrorism that lead up to the World Wars.

    Mr. Cohn's testimony is more than as a survivor. It is an amazing journey and an American life shared by many others and unique to him. It is one of the most enjoyable testimonies of the many I have witnessed. God bless you Mr. Cohn. Your triumph is a salvation to us all!

    What a beautiful man! Thank you, Elliott, for such a thoughtful and thorough interview. You facilitated the questions in a wonderful manner. Your patience and respect for this man was so obvious. Herman will always be remembered. His remembrance of such horror and yet his resound determination and resolve never left him. What a beautiful man. I know his family is extremely proud of him! Thank you, Herman, for sharing your story with the world! May God Bless Your Family and the Jewish people!

      ​@leslieparsons408 I too have watched countless of these testimonies. So much history told as each soul tells of their struggles and triumphs through these tumultuous years. After years of testimonies, I just now have come across Herman's. Wow, what a gift to all who may be genuinely interested in such historical events. Just an amazing account. Worth the wait !

    Very professional interview. Very moving. I am ashamed that people who claimed to be Christians could do such horrible things. Anyone who has studied the Bible knows beyond a shadow of doubt that Jesus laid his life down, and the reason, no one took His life.
