Kurt was the definition of what a real man is supposed to be, and gerda is a strong amazing dignified lady,their kids and grandkids are very lucky to have had those two as parents and grandparents.
She is not just an idol for women, she is an idol to every human being. I myself could never muster up the amount of strength, endurence, and will she used to survive. Gerda you are amazing and a romodel to everyone. God bless you.
@@jamesmurrell3917 It's not strange,because only the fittest and healthiest have survived the Holocaust and the war...so being the healthiest and the fittest,the survivors have lived a long life.
Dear Gerda Weissmann ... I just want to take you in my arms and hug you close. I have no words, for what you and your family and all the other prisoners suffered. But the way you tell your story, I feel I was right there by your side all the way. God Bless You
The same. She thought she wasn’t pretty but had the loveliest of faces I’ve ever seen (& I’ve been around a good number of decades). She was free of guile, truly. What she wouldn’t say was written on her face. Her children have had 2 incredible parents. I do know though that her trauma and psychological scarring would’ve manifested themselves in nightmares and deep depression throughout her life. mfjdville we must recognise the beauty in everyone we encounter, we might realise too late many of our acquaintances was an angel in disguise.
What an extraordinary human being. I’m just in tears watching her story now that she’s passed away. As a Jehovah’s Witness, there were lots of our people in the holocaust as well so I’ve been reading about it my whole life but her story just makes me cry. Why did this have to happen. We will never know but we can always remember! We must educate everyone about this horrific time. It is so important! We will never forget!
She gave an excellent narrative, the best I have heard, and I have heard many testimonies . I am so glad she realized her dream to become both a mother and a writer! Thank you!
Mrs. Gerda Klein is a hero of mine. I cannot describe just how much her testimony has touched me, & blessed my life. I am currently reading her book All But My Life. She is a phenomenal woman. An amazing human being. A courageous & beautiful survivor. A proud American. I am waiting on Spielberg to make a movie based on Gerda's life, and the love story of Gerda & Kurt. Forget the fiction of The Notebook...Kurt & Gerda are real, true love. Proof of soul mates. We must never forget the Shoah. Today, antisemitism is rearing its ugly head. We must stand and be counted. Stand against racism, persecution, and discrimination. Remember truth. 🙏🏻🇺🇲✌🇮🇱
What an amazing lady. She overcame so much, and survived to triumph by having a good life and a loving family. Her autobiography is incredible and leaves an impact. She is a national treasure. Bless her.
Such a dear dear lady. Mrs. Weissmann, I am so very glad that your dreams of a life, marriage, children and grandchildren came true. I don't know how anyone could survive the horrors you have been through, but I respect and admire you so very much for your positive outlook.
My heart & love goes out to this lovely brave woman , who has suffered so & all those who suffer in the same way , no matter race or religion ! 😇 Blessings for this woman & her family.
This is one if not the most amazing story I ever listen...thanks Gerda. You blessed by God and you were chosen to tell the story. It was a privilege to listen to your story. I hope I could ever be so strong even just a little as you...your family is so lucky for have you
Regarding the standards by which I praise Gerda Weissmann Klein: There are many, and specific examples do not include the fact that she survived the Holocaust. In her own words, she testifies that compared to those who lost their lives, "I am no better." But examples that endear me to her life include 1) Exhibiting a spirit of humility & gratitude for her blessings, rather than bitterness regarding the trials in her life; 2) Her reverence for life and relationships--people matter to her. 3) Her attempted nurturance of and loyalty to those with whom she labored in slave labor situations and "death marches;" 4) Her establishing, with her husband (now deceased), a foundation to assist those faced with tragedy and other trials and tribulations; 5) Her openness about her early years and her maturing past complaining as a youth about spending "Another boring evening at home": 6). Her writings to young and old that uplift and encourage; 7) Her availability and willingness to be a witness to history to those who wish to learn about the holocaust and the value of family. Her post-holocaust journey to America and marriage to the soldier who rescued her heighten the possibility for anyone and everyone to never give up.
For some reason this Beautiful, Eloquent, Poised, and Loving Woman came to my Memory this Morning and I decided to look her up. I heard her story over 20+ years ago as a child in the 90's and she has always been imbedded in my heart because she reminds me so very much of my own Mother who survived Jim Crow in the South. I just realized today is 4/9/2023 and not only is it Easter today, but it is a Holy Day for the 3 major Religions: Christianity is celebrating Easter, Jews are celebrating the Passover, and Muslims are celebrating Ramadan all simultaneously. This is an occurrence that only happens every 33 years!!!! Whoa! 😮 Furthermore, my birthday is on the 9th. I'm so happy that her latter days were better than her former. God is a true Kinsman Redeemer. 🙏🏽 I can't wait to hug her in Heaven. 🫂 Rest In Eternal Peace Beloved. 💕✨💕
She said she wasn't a pretty young girl. My goodness, she was beautiful and remained beautiful both inside and out. I have listened to hundreds of testimonies. This one was unforgettable...they are all precious.
This woman is a powerful lovely woman who has survived one of the most dangerous wars ever and should be praised. I currently am working on a project on the book that she has wrote because she is an amazing person.
Thank you . you are an amazing beautiful, strong and kind women . Thank you for sharing your story . God bless you and your family. You are an inspiration to all.
What an amazing woman. If you haven't read her book " you need to. ALL BUT MY LIFE. I have it, and read it ever winter and it never gets old..it's very inspiring, it's Extremely sad , and on the edge of your seat.. Book and an amazing Love story too....
My heart breaks more each story of a survivors I listen to but the way you do it is also like I’m sitting there and you are talking just to me.. I heard of your documentary and that it was going to be on HBO back in the late 90s so I called that day and subscribed and I must have watched it a dozen times .. I could say the words before you spoke them.. you brought not only your story but those of friends and what true friendship is all about .. although I’m gentile I have been a student of the Holocaust since I was 16 yrs old and I’m now 70 .. I have read watched everything I could about this and I’m afraid to say it but today in the United States we have to worry for our population of Jews , and other minorities ! For to be silent is to condone .. NEVER AGAIN!! Much love to you and your family ..
To see all this..... and not break and to continue living and living and raising a family and telling your story over and over again. We must not repeat this.
Hats off to you, dear Gerda Klein!! Your courage and endurance is amazing!! I Wish you and your saviour....... your husband Kurt Klein, a long, peaceful and happy life. Your lifestory is a perfect film material !! May God bless this lovely couple !! However, one point about this video...... It is extremely difficult to hear clearly, even on High volume. English subtitles would have been most welcome.
She is alive still ❤ None of us can really and truly wrap our heads around what these people went thru. From living a lovely decent life and then the brutality. How did they do it?
eating snow will make you thirsty... many moments in your story like that one... so strong in my memory now Nikos Kazantzakis said, The ephemeral moment, so simple and human, suddenly assumes scope and intensity.
Am touched, amazed at her strength and bravery to calmly her story as she does ♥️♥️♥️ Thanks for making me understand, in Africa we haven't Heard so much about this horror in these details I get in all the testimonies have Heard here
Actually as of March 6 2018 she is stil alive. She is 93 now. On a side note, i believe we should have dropped an atom bomb in every German city and town.
Gerda is still alive and was interviewed in 2016, and as beautiful as ever. www.leadingauthorities.com/speakers/video/hatred-tyranny-continue-every-day
This is too painful to listen to all at once.. even for me an American christian. How could the German people let something like this happen? So brutal
I don't know how exactly it happened in Germany, but just over the past 10 years here in the states, I've seen a massive shift in the way people talk about and treat their neighbors. I understand it comes from "both sides," but in my personal experience, I've gone from being called a liberal coward who doesn't 'get it' to a baby-eating demon worshipper who hates this country and should be shot. This obviously isn't a part of my daily discourse, fortunately, but more recently I have found that people get much more hostile if the topic of politics comes up. It's both depressing and frightening.
@@not_the_vampire the US is headed in a very bad direction. I once asked how Germany could let the Holocaust happen but I see now how it happens because it's happening here.
There is a short movie called "One Survivor Remembers," based on Gerda's book "All But My Life." It won an Academy Award for best documentary (short subject) in 1996.
HOSEA 6:2 Come, let us return to the LORD. For He has torn us to pieces, but He will heal us; He has wounded us, but He will bind up our wounds. 2After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His presence! The Jewish people will be raised up! Praise Yeshua Hamashiach!!
Thank you so much for sharing with me an infamous fragment of the Hitler's Nazi horrendous regimen. It must have been a painful odyssey it is to recollect such memories and to recount them. The crimes and cruelties committed against my sons and daughters, my fathers and mothers, my brothers and sisters hurt me deeply, regardless their ethnicity and nationality. In Isaiah 2: 4, Jehovah God, the Creator and Source of life, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, promises: "He will be judge among the nations and will settle matters in relation to many peoples. They will turn their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. The nations will no longer raise their swords against each other and learn no more to wage war." My immediate neighbors are Jews and I am a Jehovah's Witness. Their hearts are superior than pure gold by far. They are extremely kind. The gentleman takes care of my trash can every Wednesday without my asking him to do so. They are lovely human beings, and they are not in need of the smallest improvement.
These stories are of the greatest importance . I cannot believe the terrible quality. The interviewer is loud and clear but Gerda is barely audible. Very unprofessional.
okay and. your not going to respect her. 1. She is older and probably cant talk as loud. 2. Its an older video so the sound quailty could be messed up. just shut up and respect the video
Kurt was the definition of what a real man is supposed to be, and gerda is a strong amazing dignified lady,their kids and grandkids are very lucky to have had those two as parents and grandparents.
my thoughts exacty!
God rest her soul and bring solace and comfort to her family and friends. I understand she just pasted away 4/9/22. A truly beautiful human being🌹🌹🌹🌹

how and when did she pass away?
I read her autobiography, "All But My Life". An amazing woman.
My sister found her book at a motel book swap library. I've read it 3 times. Those boots saved her life.
She gave an excellent narrative, the best I have heard, and I have heard many testimonies .
I am so glad she realized her dream to become both a mother and a writer!
Thank you!
I just finished reading her book. Can't even imagine going through half she went through. She lost everyone she loved:(
