    Rose Silberberg-Skier's Testimony was exceptionally precise and spoken well. This lovely woman went through hell, yet was able to document her story with poise and grace. I commend her and I pray that if not alive now in June of 2016, her soul rests in peace with those of her many family members and all of those innocents who were murdered by Hitler and his minions. As a Roman Catholic, I found through research that these atrocities were happening and not much was done by my Church - and these horrific times were definitely known here in the United States, as well as in many other Countries which could have done something more than they did before escalation in 1938. Shameful and unconscionable...

    genocides. Nothing is as
    Riveting and as unbelievably heart breaking as Rose's
    Ability to survive as a youngster. OMG Nothing compares with this amazingly

    So this IS one of the Zylberbergs from Maus! (with a different spelling). The name of the ghetto sounded familiar, along with its description, and the description of the odd & gradual way in which it was 'finished'. Unless it was a common thing, to fashion secret attic entrances behind chandelier ceiling centers, this has to be the same extended family. I had wondered how they got up to the opening. So, the ladder is a helpful detail, finishing an ideation that I formed as a seven-year-old reading Maus (the only 'comic' book in our home, unless you count our Illustrated Life of Freud). Oh, WAIT! I've finished the video, and see that Mrs. Silberberg-Skier has corresponded with Art Spiegelman, and there's no mention of their being related. I'd assumed that the extended family had shared knowledge of the chandelier bunker.

      All young women started out as maids pre-war. Unless they were aristocrats. They were happy to mind the children and keep house. Not like it is now. This is a very good question, though. The class system was very different. If you kept a store or a business back then you could afford help. But not so much now.

      First of all Jewish people made up substantial share of Polish middle class and they lived well, they had money, dollars, hire maids. The second, only people with means could survive. If you go through the story, the family literally bought themselves the way to survival. Even at the end they had 100 dollar bill, which was probably amount enough to survive a whole year. The third, I read that hiring maids was very popular and even poor people could afford it.

      I grew up in Atlanta, Ga USA in the 1950s . I was not Jewish just middle class (barely). We all had black maids....everyone I knew. They rode public transit from south Atlanta and toiled 8 and 9 hour days for exactly $5.oo plus $.50 bus fair. That was the unfortunate obscene culture in Atl and in Jewish homes in Europe. In all these testimonies and in my own experience growing up, Jewish people were smarter than most people and more highly evolved. Their faith entreaties them to help others while they live, not express belief to a god as they lay dying to atone for the sins they perpetuated on others while they lived as Christians do. Hope this makes thee point I am feebly trying to make.

      Sometimes our nasty judgemental side takes over. Sounds like we have an low level Hitler " civil servant" responding to this amazing beautiful ladies story. Risk risk. This is the little seed that grows in a tyrant's garden and becomes the ugly stinkewwed in our world. Kindly shut up.
