  • “I was so absorbed with the desire and craving to live over Hitler’s war. But when I lived it over, I really didn’t want to live.”
    Holocaust survivor Judy Lachman was born in Łódź, Poland in 1924. She survived the Piotrków and
    Tomaszów Mazowiecki ghettos, and the Augsburg, Bergen-Belsen, Burgau, Dachau, Skarżysko-Kamienna, Tschenstochau-Pelzery, and Türkheim concentration camps. She was liberated by United States armed forces at Dachau.

After such atrocities she has such a kind, noble spirit. Hard work, education, family, love, caring for others. These character traits born of great suffering produced so much good in the world.

    Wow. Wonderful testimony from a sick woman. She is extremely courageous and quick-witted, able to be a good friend and all these and luck helped her. Oh to be born German and have this terrible legacy, and Ukrainians and Poles also behaved vilely. I am sure the British have had their ‘day’ too of shameful behaviour, but at this time in history we do not have such a terrible burden. I remember Rolf Mengele recounting challenging his father’s war record and could see his pain. So if one makes the wrong decisions it hurts one own descendants too. Humans should behave humanely always - but we won’t. At least not without a strong allegiance to God and the 10 Commandments as this lady so rightly says.

    Amazing! Mrs. Lachman's strength, attitude and Heart saved her from a horrible death, but it's a shame she had to go through Hell on Earth to live. Her family is unselfish and caring also. Satan probably has Hitler strapped to a chair, forced to watch the survivors throughout eternity. :) P.S.- GET a speaker- cheap computer speakers won't cut it.

      This is an oral history, the equivalent of an historical document, so all of the details and clarification need to be here for those who are conducting research, etc. Like at the beginning when she had to spell her maiden name in English, her second language. They were surely told ahead of time, though it is distracting, it's necessary.

Very thankful to hear her speak of her Messiah who definitely is coming back in the perfect time. I believe He came, but He was a suffering Messiah then and not recognized. Could His people have suffered what He Himself suffered at the hands of sinful men? Hated, humiliated, stripped of everything He had coming to this earth, His body beaten, torn up, pierced with nails. I believe He knew their agony and they knew His. 2:53:15

    Interesting to hear her views but there are others, 2.25 she speaks her father being part of cartel, in other words a monopoetetive, free market, trade by one ethnic grouply, of the sale of factories for ten towns. She doesn't SAY that the factories were those of ethnic Poles but the running of any kind of anti-competitive, anti-free market, trading operation by one ethnic group of a much larger national ethnic group may well engender some animosity, this definitely happened in farm products and farmers decided that enough was enough, they formed a cooperative and cut out the middle man who was positioned "better than average", those middlemen kicked up one heck of fuss.
