The video I watched of a man named George Gottlieb was really emotional. But first of all, he said the solider let him find his mom for 20 minutes. There were soliders out there who felt bad, and did let them slide or bend the rules. But also, he said when he found his mother she was bald, and looked very bad. He was hurt when he saw her like that and he broke down on camera. It's really sad to know the survivors didn't reunite with their families and it makes me feel blessed to be born in my time and not have me or any of my parents go through the holocaust. It made me feel really bad watching it because you would see it in him after all this time he is still hurt, and he can still cry about it and tell that story.
Erna Anolik was another survivor. This was a women. She said when she arrived to the camps they shaved her head, and they got them undressed and gave her a dress with no underwear to wear under. This makes me think this was an easier way for the soldiers to rape these women. Also she says she volunteered to take coffee to the other camps for a chance to see her parents, but of course she never did. This is really sad that these women had to cope with this and live under these conditions. It makes me sad inside because i am a woman and i certainly wouldn't like these conditions at all if i was born during that time. Like i said, i'm very grateful that i was born after the Holocaust because i really don't think my chances of living were high. Also, i feel happy that there are survivors out there and it's good to know that not everyone died.
