Whenever life gets me down and I need strength, I watch this video and come out swinging. Mental toughness is everything and Kitty has it in spades.
Yes!!
Amen girl
Inspiring...
Absolutely!! I do the same. Amazing. I could listen all day. It always puts my feet back on the ground
What's interesting to me is that her sorrow and expression of trauma has been less than some of the drama queens I come across in my life, who wail and obsess over the smallest of life's hurdles.
I've spent all day watching her tell her story in different documentaries. I can't get enough of her. Her story has many lessons. I am just amazed at how intelligent her and her mother were.
I do the same. Watching everything she is in. What an incredible woman!
And how incredibly patient and respectful she was to this interviewer and others. A truly remarkable woman .
And her father brothers were very smart to leave when they could even though they could’ve left earlier. No one knew the extent of the evil!
Have you all watched the video where she met 4 neo nazis at auschwitz in the 90s? I loved her reaction to meeting them. She is not afraid of anything.
I would love to meet her and listen to her for hours, but considering she is what 96 now, I doubt it will ever happen.
She is a true inspiration along with all the others who lived through this. I couldn't even imagine. Honestly, I don't think I would have lasted.
@@WhatTheFuzzzzz Where can I see that? Her story should be a movie for real! Aloha.
There is something special about Kitty - an amazing storyteller, super sharp, and strong/resourceful as hell. There’s a reason she was able to survive and is sitting there telling her story. What she and others endured is unfathomable - I’m in complete awe of her.
Well said.
Sharp lady !!
Definitely
Wonderful woman with such strong vivid memories.
I admire you kitty xx😢
In a documentary from 1979 she starts out by telling about herself as a child. And she describes herself as someone who despised rules, and someone who got in trouble a lot. And I was thinking - that is part of the reason why she was able to survive.
What this woman went through and she still has her sanity.
Am not sure if she mentions it on this specific interview, but on later documentaries she's mentioned that her uncle in Birmingham who hospitalised her and her mother for a time, had forbid them to talk in his house about what they'd been through, because he didn't want his daughters to be frightened. So that made her insist that people will hear her story one day. If she remained silent that would shatter her sanity.
I think her young age while being there is the main factor why she didn't get that dehumanized as an adult would.... Ofcourse those atrocities that were going on there, and which I can't even imagine, are just unthinkable to me and this is just... They were just pure evil whoever went through it, whether a young person or an adult. I can't even describe those things that happened there in words, "atrocities" seem too weak for description for that.... It just can't get to me... As I watch her it seems to me she is very glad to have opportunity/opportunities to speak about what she had seen and has been through. The sense of reveal just comes out of her...
I took care of people from these camps but didn't completely understand what really happened! As i look back i remember a resident who was horrrified with taking a shower. I think nurses should of been better informed. Also residents should of had counseling!🤔
She is utterly remarkable. What a survivor.
I read Kitty's book 'Return to Auschwitz' when I was 14 and it changed my view on the world I live in. I was lucky enough to receive an email from Kitty around the 60th anniversary of Kitty's liberation. I have never aligned myself with any religion, although I was raised catholic, I denied religion at an early age and am an atheist. For me this has never been about religion - it has been about humanity hitting it's lowest point. Kitty has always been and will always be a huge inspiration to me for strength and respect and her words guided me through the years - never obey. I am a staunch liberal constantly fighting for equality, for everyone. And this is thanks to Kitty. And in her honour I will never forget the holocaust and I will always share her story - we MUST learn from our mistakes, we MUST NEVER forget how low, as a race, we went and how hard it has been to climb back up. When other 14 year olds were following Kurt Cobain and Ian Brown, I always stated my hero is Kitty Hart (which is how Kittys name appeared on my book cover of RTA). Please pay her the respect she has eared and deserves, listen to her story and be a better person. Never obey and never forget.
All religions are ending on 'ismus' in German language. Of course National Socialism was a religion. It's believe is to believe in the power of will, in the power of strength, in the power of leadership and obedience, and in being a member of a superior race, which has to be defended by all means.
🤔P🤔🤔aul 😴😘😘😭😘😘😘😘😘😭😘😵🤔😵😵😵🙌🙌🏻
V...an...essa... :D
Yah well if you are so liberal you might want to think about not giving government so much power. And stop supporting gun control. Because us conservatives are not giving up our guns. Never. Nobody is going to be taking anyone to camps as long as we are armed and free.
Paul. There is a god. You better believe. Don’t be a atheist fool
People like her are the ones we should all be following and idolising in society. 💝
You should not idolize any person
Such an inspiration, a wonderfully strong lady who endured so much.
❤️❤️❤️

@PALLEL רוח האמת and
I could listen to kitty Hart Moxon all day,she is so clear and concise and she tells her story beautifully,what a wonderful , brave ,intelligent lady x
I agree. I love her! I actually have been listening to her and watching her videos for a good 24 hours now.
It’s difficult to stress the significance of this woman’s story being documented. This is one of the only detailed accounts that I can recall of a mother and daughter story of survival together in Auschwitz. She is an amazing woman with an absolutely incredible story. God bless her.
Check out Tova Friedmans testimony. She survived with her mom at Auchwitz and she has an incredible story.
One of my favorite parts of these interviews is hearing how the mothers, fathers, aunts and uncles went to the ends of the earth to do anything they could to help their families. Multiple times she said "I don't know how my father got this, did xyz" and it just speaks volumes to what an amazing father her dad was. These people are so strong.
Such a strong lady, Dame Kitty Hart-Moxon. She looks like she's 50. Can't believe she's 72 years!! God has blessed her, she is now 92 years old.
@@steelydanlover1972k
I agree, Kitty looks very well for age, she is 95 now, and she still has her tough and beautiful personality
I just watched you go to the camps with your son David 1980s Your such a strong willed lady with a heart of gold with a passion to get the word across to everyone. God bless you and your family
I just watched that too, though it was the 70’s, 1978 I believe.
@@willfade7994 1976.
That is definitely the most telling auschwitz documentary I’ve ever seen
My heart aches. What a strong lady. Bless your heart Kitty.
What an amazing woman. Hard to know how someone could have survived like she did. I wish the interviewer wouldn't have interrupted her so often however.
Absolutely important to the human race, these events are told as they happened. God bless you Kitty. All it takes to make this happen again is for good people to turn a blind eye and do nothing.
It is beginning again. Kitty is on the streets warning people not to take the vaccine from the Nazi’s.
5 years living wit no food or water or heat the barracks. Seems to be a very slightly different story than the published report of the Red Cross.
I love how the interviewer keeps asking irrelevant questions but kitty is gunna tell her story no matter what..... I saw a later documentary that kitty brought two teenage girls to auswitz it’s really good
I saw that too! There’s a better one from the late 70’s when Kitty returned to Auschwitz, though poor film quality...
volume is horrible
What a beautiful, intelligent lady!
If only the interviewer/reporter was more prepared for such an opportunity and had asked better questions. Or at least kept up with the information she was being told by this incredible, amazing woman who witnessed and lived the unbearable.
I wish this woman would stop interrupting her and let her just tell her story. at any rate I find Kitty very interesting I wish there where more videos out there she tells an amazing account of her experience.
Charese Hadley there are 70+ of these testimonials
there are many many more videos in you tube and each is amazing. search for SCU Shoah Foundation testimony's. there are many many many.
Not an account of her truth, an account of her personal experience.
No such thing as relative or personal truth.
@@norml6874 there are over 1500. Several hundred are accessible online, but the rest can be viewed in special memorial centres across the world.
"I had a roll one that lasted 24 hours, where people just died and were trodden into the mud". What an extraordinary and horrific image that sentence invokes. Then the interviewer replies with an inane question about the barrack order doing a count for roll call. How does this interviewers mind work? Utterly ridiculous.
Someone said that whenever life gets them down they watch this video... I do the same.
Kitty was so brave and sheds so much light on what really happened
Some interviewers stay quiet and let the person tell the story. I prefer that over the interviewer asking questions.
In this case this interviewer is very annoying at times.
@@ip9117 She has asked the most daft questions ie how did you get of the train like really
Her mother is a hero. I’ve just about watched the full video, and I’ve lost count of how many times she saved Kitty.
I could sit and listen to this wonderful woman all day long, she's just an amazing person, who suffered so much yet is a beautiful soul.
Unbelievable what a wonderful woman who also was blessed with a equally wonderful mother. I was spellbound with all she said.
This woman is extraordinary. I have watched different documentaries she has described about her experience and how she survived throughout the concentration camp. It’s hard to hear it through her eyes and the horrific experiences where she has to detach herself from her surroundings and her senses. Without exercising the impossible, she would have not survived. So sad and so many mixed emotions stepping into her life and how her happy family tides and traditions were separated and shattered. Hearing her story will change you forever.
I found my self watching and researching a lot on the Holocaust recent past few weeks after one night down the RUclips worm hole I wanted to know more. I have watched so many testimonies and Kitty's is my absolute favorite. The details she remembers and the way she tells her story has u really feel like u can see it thru her eyes. I commend her courage to speak out over and over on what she went thru. Any of her video interviews are always my favorite.
Did you watch Micheal Honey? ruclips.net/video/_-WF26EBjCc/видео.html

@@chrisdj3863 thanks for the link ima watch them tonight! 😉
Alicia Rivera You may also want to check out Kitty’s Return to Auschwitz. It is a documentary well worth watching, as well.
Chris DJ I’m going to check these out this week. Thanks for the links.
@@katherinedorsey3426 Just watched that today which made me look this up. What a strong women. She should be running countries.
Kitty Hart~Moxon, Thank you so much for sharing your story. It took several days, but I was able to watch and listen to your story. You speak very well, and I was hanging on your every word. You have to be one of the strongest persons that I've ever seen. We all hope that we'd have courage like yours, but the story you told is just amazing, and thank God you made it through such a horrific experience. I have a much better understanding of why my American uncles were there. God bless you!
Yes well said !
What a beautiful spirit
She really brings the hell of Auschwitz to life. To color. Kitty's recounting will be one of the most important for all of posterity to hear.
I know nothing of true hardship, my idea of poor accommodation is poor room service! I pray this history does not repeat itself and I have nothing but respect and admiration for the witnesses of these victims. Thankyou Kitty.
Such a composed, factual, strong and respectable lady. So glad she survived❤
Kitty Hart-Moxon has been a hero of mine for several years, ever since I heard her testimony. Unfortunately, this particular interviewer was unable to keep up with Kitty. If you have an opportunity to watch any videos of Kitty, please take time to watch. Kitty is an inspiration.
So bittersweet that her mother and she survived and her father and brother died. Thank you for sharing your story. We must not forget!
Men and boys were targeted, that's how it was. Males are always the main victims during war, and during any violence.
You never forget the hellish scars etched into your memory. God bless her.
Man, her mind is still sharp as a tack.
Even today.
This interview was conducted in late 1990s. She would have been about 70 at the time.
@@caribou6172 - Kitty is appearing and speaking at protests in 2021. She is 94 and sharp as ever.
She sees the rise of the Nazi’s across the world again. Trying to force their experimental vaccines.
@@crenee2007 where can we see her now?
@@crenee2007 Ohhhhhh, you're one of those... gross
Wow. What an amazing woman. It's impossible for us to comprehend this period in history. We cannot understand the suffering, the conditions & the fear that these poor people were feeling/going through. I feel privileged to listen to this woman. It's incredibly brave to tell her story in such detail, and a very important testimony of what happened in the Holocaust. It's so important that this subject is taught in school. This subject must never be forgotten, it would be a disgrace to the millions of innocent people who have their lives stolen from them. Look at today's teenagers. Mostly, they are disrespectful, rude, spoilt little nit-whits who are so incredibly ungrateful for the life they have. It's awful. In closing, Kitty is quite an extraordinary person. She tells her story with such eloquence, intelligence & emotion. Again, I feel privileged to have heard her story.
Randomage I was never taught about this and I started school in ‘97. Good thing I had a mother who taught me about it.
The world is and always will be better off, for having known this lovely lady.
Her voice is a shining star amongst the night sky.
She upgrades the human spirit. Life would simply not be the same had she not been born and lived among us all.💘
I agree, she has taught lots of people including me to be a better person. Everyone should watch this testimony to learn what she had to go through and stop anything like this from happening again
Still watching. Keeping the memory alive. Forgiving is a choice, forgetting is a sin...
Her brother escaped to Russia and fought with the Russian troops in WW2 and was killed in battle 😢
Amazing lady! It was a real privilege to listen to Kitty's intelligent and coherent testimony.
I avoided this interview for a long time because I read the comments regarding the interviewer. She is painful to listen to and the questions are ridiculous. I wonder how Kitty found the patience to answer.
The testimony is well worth listening to!
What ridiculous questions?!? A few times Kitty story went from personal memories (which is the topic of this interview) to hearsay or WWII history and the interviewer have to intervene.
The likes of "how did you know about the sewers...who told you" didn't do any good. Just interrupted the story. How many people in the room....she said before...many! It was crowded. And many other examples which had nothing to do with bringing the story from hearsay to facts. Questions asked only to ask something
"How did you get onto platform" ?!
"How did you know to walk on"
She says they were in a cage with 2 other women. Interviewer keeps asking about the rest of the people. And so on
I noticed the interviewer didnt listen very well and asked a couple of questions that were already answered
Anytime I find something with Kitty Hart-Moxon I love seeing or reading about it. She’s an inspiration, so very intelligent... What she went through at such a young age, I’m amazed she’s still as shape as she is, I would’ve lost my mind. She’s 94 now, God bless her, I would love to sit and have a chat with her
Such a smart and inspiring woman. I always found it interesting that Anne Frank always called her diary “Kitty” as well (obviously a coincidence but it’s interesting). We are so lucky to live in a mostly peaceful time nowadays and must never let the sort of atrocities and discrimination that WW1 & WW2 thrived on to repeat itself. Listening to people like Kitty and learning from her is very important.
I would not have survived if I were there her athletic tendencies coupled with her intelligence and wisdom served her well
Highly dignified and mature woman: a real survivor! Red Pat
+Patti Rogers She is still alive. In her 90's I believe.
I ❤ Kitty Hart~Moxon
fool
@@TheCarin12 l¹00q1qqqpqqqqqklw.k
Can’t begin to image what all these people went through. Hell on earth !
What kind of ridiculous questions some of these interviewers ask!
I remember watching Kitty's original documentary on TV in the 1970's where she returned to Auschwitz which is now on RUclips. It was such a powerful personal account it made a lasting impression on me, so much so I remembered her name. What strength of character this lady has. To be able to recall such a horrific account without a complete breakdown. I cannot believe there are people who are still denier's that this happened - I have one in my family!!! I feel like shaming him.
Return to Auschwitz Kitty's in TV in the 1979's in Yorktelevition
She was quite clever! These interviews always make me wonder rather or not my own resourcefulness would see me threw to the end, or if I would have died in the first few days, if put in the same situation.
E Suzannet I wonder the same thing, sadly I have a heart condition and probably would have died quickly without water
An amazingly courageous woman....I can find nō appropriate words to describe my feeling & thoughts after listening to KITTY.
Kitty: “I was given 25 lashes, I fell unconscious and was left for dead”
Interviewer: “were you ever witness to any torture?”
🤦♂️
Singapore still lashes. It is painful.
@@maxsmith695 your comment is as dumb as the interviewers. 🤦♂️
I think the interviewer just wants to be precise and get all the information possible - so they can keep these memories and stories alive.
Absolutely. And when she says she was looked after in the factory as they thought she wasn't Jewish, then the interviewer asked if the factory owner was Jewish. Utterly ridiculous questions to such a well-informed historical account from Kitty.
And I hated when she would keep inturuptting Kitty and then you can hear the interviewer get a frustrated tone and try to speak over her. She would ask Kitty a question and when kitty didn't answer in the way the interviewer met, rather than say "oh I'm sorry I meant x" she would instead cut her off and speak louder than her until she was on the same page. It filled me with anxiety and I found it so rude. There are kinder ways to go about it.
Additionally, in response to the commentor who said she was just trying to be precise, yes in some cases. There was very little of what Kitty said that wasn't clear or easily understood. Few things needed clarification but the interviewer often asked completely unintelligible questions such as your comment. This might be the interviewer that annoyed me most. After what this woman has been through the least they could do is let her finish her sentence before redirecting the conversation.
(sorry about the rant here I just needed to say it I guess)
This is such a gem. Kitty is such a thought provoking story teller. The interviewer would have done better to just pipe down and allow her to talk. The intrusions with the most trivial questions is unnerving.
Edited to add that I'm three hours in and the interviewer only gets worse. She asks questions Kitty has just answered, she interrupts in the most inconvenient moments, she ruins the flow of the story, etc. You can see she is incredibly annoying to Kitty at many occasions.
I’m two hours in and the interviewer is driving me crazy too. She’s asking the most irrelevant questions while Kitty is giving such a compelling account of everything. She seems to be in the clouds and a bit disconnected. I wish someone could have given some feedback while taping.
I totally agree. I got so irritated when Kitty was trying to talk about arriving at Auschwitz! Such ridiculous questions too.
She keeps interrupting her and that is so disrespectful
Thank you for your witness!
I love listening to Kitty, it's a real pleasure! I struggle with depression and chronic anxiety, but listening to her makes me feel like I can keep on going, and not give up. Thank you for this video!💓
Her will to survive is amazing. I cannot imagine enduring all that. I was absolutely enraptured listening to her story. So glad she and her mother survived together, all thanks to their own intelligence and will.
This woman is incredible. Her strength is inspiring, and her story utterly devastating. What an amazing woman. Shame about the interviewer who is quite bad and isn't really listening to what Kitty says. She deserves a much better interviewer.
This is the third time I'm watching this 8-hour documentary. Kitty is one hardcore amazing woman 💚💚
What a strong and amazing woman. To constantly relive these nightmares so the rest of the world never forgets, nor repeats, is a testament to her strength. A true survivor!
She Tougher Than a Unit of Specail Forces...!!!!!
God bless this woman for her interview. These interviews are so valuable for generations to come. It's imperative that we raise our children to understand what happened during to Holocaust
These people of her generation were made of steel. To go through so much and come out the way she did. Compared to the pampered, soft and feeble people of today...it makes me cringe how soft we are compared to these titans.
It might surprise you what people are capable of in times of hardship
The firsthand accounts are so necessary. So thankful for the interviews of these precious people who stand as a witness to this horrible time in history.
Kitty and her mother are incredible, what they were able to do and how they survived is otherworldly.
I remember reading her book, and watching the T.V. special back in the 70"s.I sure hope this never happens again.. but of course, it's happening now, so I don't think it will ever end.
We’re getting close in 2022.
How?
You had genocide and concentration camps in 2014? Where?
@@ouatedephoque2961 Russia, North Korea.. ECT.. The world has concentration camps !! READ A BOOK !!
@@debraleesparks I think you confuse genocide with authoritarian regimes. I know I am old but I do not need you to write in caps thank you, unless that was for you. What's with your electroconvulsive therapy? Or did you mean ETC? Geez, read a book. Now who are the Russians and North Koreans slaughtering? Please enlighten me. But if you are being allegoric, murikkka also has concentration camps. And btw, giving yourself a thumbs' up is "really" classy.
What a delightful lady. So well spoken
Such an amazing story by Kitty. Everyone should hear this story to understand how lucky we are to have our freedom and for this to be never repeated!! I could listen to this wonderful lady all day!! Good bless her and all who suffered.
Mrs Hart-Moxon had the patience of a saint putting up with the dreadful interviewer’s constant interruptions.
I agree!
it taught us alot, highly respectable person kitty hart thank you so much for all these spectacular stories you have shared with us i have seen your early videos as well and i am amazed to see how strong it made you.
Inspiring Miss Kitty, you are a treasure of the world. YOU will never be forgotten, therefore the insanity will never be forgotten. Thank you beyond thank yous….
I really wish the narrator would just shut the fk up and let her tell her story..... This would have been so much better. Thank you KITTY for your story and sharing this horrible experience.
What a Lady! She is brave elegant and classy and so strong. She is very youthful looking too considering what she went through. She should be President!! This is my favorite testimony. I followed the story like I was captured by her words. So real, a beautiful narrative from a beautiful woman inside and out. Truly inspiring.
About being a President of the USA, there are conditions to becoming a President that the population is oblivious of. The Presidents of America have all come from one family; the Howard family,a President or leader of any nation must be the descendant of an actual king, they must also be a 33° Freemason along with being Catholic (whether closeted or openly), they submit themselves as puppets to the Roman Catholic papacy (Antichrist, the system of popery that thinks to put a man in the place of God). If you fulfill these requirements you too can become a President of the USA. Also, as a puppet of the papacy they worship Lucifer and his demons, in ways that, if known, would cause your mind to break and you would need to be institutionalized.
Bless this strong lady. Thank you for your testimony for the world to hear. So very important to listen to the survivors so they are never forgotten.
Wow . So clear and concise . And after all she went through .72 going on 30. Amazing . Kitty I am so proud of you . Love always from Australia xXxxx
Gof bless you Jitty. May you live another 20 years
Shes 94 now
Thank you, Kitty, for so eloquently educating us. The world is a better place and I am a better person by virtue of you. You are a gift to mankind. Rest Gently, Beautiful Teacher.
This lady is the most interesting person ive come across on youtube ever
..hard to imagine someone so refined, intelligent and proper like Kitty and her family put through such LIVING HELL. I wasn't expecting Kitty to have had such a harrowing experience by looking at her. Tough as nails she is!
could listen to her all day....i remember the tv documentary made in 1976 so informative...the film called playing for time , made in 1980 ..is based on the camp orchestra.
Kitty and her mom were incredibly street smart ladies .Their will to carry on through totur, hunger, thirst, exhaustion,sickness, and mental torment are outstanding psychological and physical achievement.They are my ultimate heroes. Their survival was bittersweet with the loss of a father and husband, a son and a brother, and the grandmother .Bless all their souls. ❤❤❤❤
"Street smart" is one way to describe it. Her Mother held a senior position in the camp-- make of that what you will.
I went to Auschwitz and it was just so much to take in. But Kitty's 1978 doco hit me harder than actually going there.
I just watched you going to auschwitch with your son. I was glued to the screen. You told your story so well. I admire you, what an incredible woman. I prefer the video with your son, as you were more freeflowing.
Horrible interviewer. She keeps interrupting. I can tell Kitty was getting annoyed but she kept her composure and handled it like a pro.
I agree!
Yes! I always get so angry with them because this is their story! Let them speak
Omg I’m at the part where they were getting off the train and she keeps interrupting and she said “Did you jump down or walk down the platform?” WTF Who cares??
I agree, most of the survivors have their story down and no how to tell it and the magna bloom survivor testimony the interviewer was spot on on how to conduct that interview ask few questions and let it flow
I don't agree. The interviewer needs to record everything and has to ask for certain details. She is very respectful. I don't understand how people focus so much on the interviewers, they are just doing their job.
Such an amazing woman! ❤️
Kitty's story is highly inspirational. Her grit and perseverance is mind-blowing! She seems to be some symbolic character taken from an allegory. I saw the documentary of her revisit to Auschwitz. It gave me goosebumps! May you live a long life Kitty.
It’s just absolutely incredible to listen to these testimonies. These amazing men and women were living Miracles, the strength behind them, not only did they live through hell but they lived a life after. The battle they faced after seems small when faced with their will and strength. They are a true inspiration to everyone. I hope these tapes are cherished for ever. Not only did they live through it but they re lived it , so they could tell their story to us all❤
'pleasure to listen to your dignified story, thank you so much.
I was at Auschwitz last week and the guide mentioned Kitty so I had to look her up. What an amazing lady ❤
When she said she was 72... :O my god, her whole demenor and physicality is not of a person of that age. She looks totally fit and has the energy of a young person
love this human ..she is such an inspiration.. such gratitude for her
Wow her dad really did his best to try and save them
She spends her life reporting on the camps. The Nazi's on blast every day of her life. Redemption for those who suffered.
i agree the interviewer was kinda annoying, i just wanna hear her story, not an interviewer interrupting her all the time
Edmund Yu I agree some interviews are so annoying because of to many question. Let the survivor tell his/her own story please.
The interviewer is letting Kitty tell her story. She’s just doing her job. Less hate please.
I totally agree!
I've seen the documentary of her explaining Auschwitz to her son but the level of detail in this interview is amazing. I'm 3 hours in now and it's unimaginable all the decisions made or made for them that led them to where they were. Her father sounded incredibly resourceful. Mom too. Probably gave her the skills to survive.
I lost track of what happened to her brother. He came to the new city with dad on the train. I will have to go back and watch again. So many details.
Inspiring woman and an amazing story teller.
The interviewer is quite sharp.....this life lesson is something to hear. God bless this woman for all her days
Quite sharp? As in smart or an impatient, ridiculous person?
It is hard to believe what kitty and other people had to go through. It’s a really good thing that people helped each other survive even though they were going through some of the hardest things ever. The interviewer was a really good one I didn’t think she was annoying. Thank you for sharing your testimony kitty I will remember you.
Amazing how tough times were unfathomable nowadays. Amazing strength to make it through that period of her life.
One don't know what one's going to do unless you're in that situation, but I don't know if I could have forgiven my mother.
What an incredible lady. Such a survivor in so many ways
The interviewer is so disrespectful. She needed to just let Kitty tell her story. Irrelevant questions, she has just asked "what colour uniforms did the guards wear?"
Love listening to Kitty tell her story though 💕
My theory is that she asks those questions so her story can be corroborated with evidence from history.
My hearing isn't the best I wish it were at a higher volume so I could hear. But thanks to this organization for capturing survivor stories
What such amazing women so sad that people didn’t want to listen to her story, I could listen to her speak for hours she’s truely inspirational. Does anyone know if she ever wrote a book
She is a beautiful and fascinating woman. How wonderful that she is still alive in 2023. I think it's delightful that she is repeatedly irked by the end of the tape in this 1998 interview. She endured every imaginable indignity when she was young, but "we're coming to the end of this tape" annoys her. A beautiful and fascinating women.
The interviewer interrupted too much. Kitty is a wonderful speaker and should have been allowed to retell her story her way and in her own time.
