You are no offense but youre no longer a young woman in fact youre one of the last living survivors of the nazis. And im aware of it. And i and im wondering how clear your memories of 70 years ago actually are. I think very clear you leave it. All your life. They forget. They. Know i was in the. Sea when the one. Day came and they come and i so i was close almost 14. Years to get to pertain to a place. I shall never forget in my life because i was like an end to all of that which a statement plays. And i witnessed many sounds. Horrible horrible. Looking down. On me and bullets hellish time. Sometimes of people tried to escape. The hiding place was under the bed which was. Cut out. Down close but we didnt have any and no. Linda. They had they came with a gentleman. He took us out. And they were bringing other people from the hiding. And we knew it was a major shock to us that i dare. To go. There my father. Never saw. My little sister escaped. And. The stage. To the kitchen. Impassable todays. When you have such a horrible experiences as a youngster it left a fear some kind of fear. That you cant at a normal person would not even on the stand. Because those horrible things what i have see in the skeletons of those people. And only dead looked around was death in fear. So i had them etched there is no doubt about that if i would be not i would be like. So i keep myself always busy in this is helps me not to think. So much about it but i went to this dark terrible. Spot the dark spot. In my great honor to introduce. Regina. To my mother is the only holocaust survivor in the kansas city area who is out speaking regularly about her experience.

Then settling here in kansas city to raise me and my brother and sister. I know that you have made it your part of your business to tell people firsthand what happened and i wonder what what happens to that history what happens to the stories when you are gone and this is. I am speaking about speaking up and i will tell you what to prompt me. It was an awakening for me when i heard skinheads denying it never happened it was just like a tongue there and to my brain to my mind to say hey sonia. This was the reason you survived you have to speak for them. In better than our streets when one day when we are count that and s. S. Men went door to door duros and just you know how to talk our numbers and they start calling all of those numbers where they supposed to go to the guest i used to say to my daughter if i reach one hard Company Something my greatest fulfillment is speaking to a disturbance in schools because this is our future generation and then in their few minutes when you see this horrible horrible. Clouds. From the chimney. So you can imagine i dont know if you can imagine. Because you never knew where it would be youre. Speaking from your heart speaking what took place and you and a witness if. Its in there make a change in their lives and take out the hate this would be my greatest accomplishment. Well i want to thank you all very mad for coming and listening to me i was a little narrow and i hope youll forgive me for that it. Was easy. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is all off and spearing Dramatic Development only personally im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. During the vietnam war u. S. Forces also bomb to neighboring laos it was a secret war. And for years the American People did not know. We mounted laos so my skin is officially the mousepad rebound country per capita in all Human History millions of unexploded bombs still in danger lives in this Small Agricultural country Jordyn Wieber went on a canal its happening there even today kids in laos full victims of bombs dropped decades ago is the us making amends for the tragedy in laos what help to the people need in that little land of mines. Ah no team no crowd. No shots no. Factions cults because. When the wells dry no 1st. Point show your thirst for action. Is now from a great town. And then you do your. Hours a little narrow business you know near. Im gray some are. Up in a really small town in missouri and. My mom grew up in illinois. Her dad i never had a grandpa on my side because when they were a little someone from. Him and he shot in the house. I just know that something had to go through. And i really appreciate all my life because she is. She is a fighter she kind of. How were so shes only good example for you. My name is caroline. I am a catholic clone scherchen ger 14 years old i grew up in wilmington delaware. I am from new york age 13. But i do relate to. The jewish people and how they survived the holocaust because they are like a brother religion tourists knowing there was someone who just one person could kill over a 1000000 people makes me feel. I dont know how to put it its hard for a good person to stand but there it is. But you young people i hope and if you do you will be strong and really stand up for the right things. For the right things because all the bad underline the main thing is not to close your eyes when something is gong. My name is chris. Im a spanish mom. Me and wonders. You know my rude. If you say. I can kind of relate to how you feel because i know like i love my family more than they need. Like my mom my best. And so i dont know. What i would do. Just. My dad. Those are like all those years of your life that youre never going to get back. You have their wisdom. You know 40 year old would be 50. Thats crazy i just respect. I dont think i would ever be able to. I was so young your age you know when the war broke out there for things. And to see. Witnessing things what i have seen. It is like i say i dont care you hate it i will not get no i cannot this have to come from a higher above i am not the want to forgive what i see. Now. Buck i will not hate because the hate. Will destroy me and now be i hate their like them. Your ability to say that youre not ever going to hate. When youre fighting with their sibling to be like oh i hate you or whatever but you dont hate them obviously but even just to say that is just wrong considering the fact that he actually have a reason to hate me. And i think it. Says thank you for that thank you thank you. Thank you thanks to all that hes you know you. Are doing. Well and saying. I never told really. I had a very good eye for clothes let me tell you to take a little ones that really done my hands. In the war. When the germans came mean they had the used tailors. To kill. But here you can see em here by demand sheen sawing. Yeah. Yeah thats. This is c. N. N. This is the machine over there. You. Heard still. Let it go lets for the. Memories said memory its. 9 months. Till august when i was seeing myself my mother walking to the guest. House. Which was really i would say. Hand to left or right when you are ready to. Spend into camps when it needs. Election. The ones where they would still make me smile. We were all day off walking. And no one knows what is supposed to do against. My mouth to the left and self to. Morning when i hear the siren or something. Its. Like something. I. Seemed. To find a little in it was a little. Look out to the time that corner. Womens corner. Specially when i saw my mouth. So. You. Know. All this i want to show you. Ok. This is my bed that almost killed a king sized bet. On this side as you can tell its it goes a little doubt oh. Yeah this is this is really unbelievable. It. Had to be 75. 00. And this she had to get it with her and this is was my mom. So. This is whats left of this. Chair and you can see the color was of the beautiful yet. So you know. This is what they do. Its so dear to me that no one. No one can. Understand and i cannot even describe myself when i hold my hand. Whenever i go to sleep she is with me she is always. After the day that we all met so. I thought about it almost every day. She has impacted me in ways i could have never imagined but like what she was telling us about her mom thats what got to me the most because my mom. Is everything to me and i watched her walk away from me knowing what was going to happen. I cant even imagine being Strong Enough to go on from that point. On teenage years are really hard to reach now theyre distracted with their internet social networks and i think that sonia changed that for me at least oh. She had such a personal message that it was hard not to put yourself in her place and think about what it would be like to be her and i think that that got all of our attentions she made me want to change things the way things are she made me want to make an impact on the world and i think thats why its so important that she keeps talking to people and keeps changing peoples lives like she did mine.

This is the only thing that we do is music because everybody fights his way. Through on the film was out of this wolf this would have given it up. But i think it is this is the fans that is our comfort. You cant be both with yet you. Chose seemed wrong. But old rules just dont hold. The world to get to shape out just a bit comes to educate and in gain strength because betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. When i came out from this hell i really could not even shill happy ever and sometimes even people were joking about something i would catch myself if i was even letting i feel guilty. And its very probably difficult for a normal person to grasp and understand you live with that all your life i want to point it out to you we live with it but we did not receive help like now when our boys are coming you know from the wars in their knowledge finally they need to mend you know for the how do you call it depression we didnt have to tell.
