Gerda and Kurt Klein describe liberation

In this short video, Holocaust survivor Gerda Weissmann Klein and her husband, Kurt Klein, share their experiences of liberation and meeting for the first time.
Gerda was born to a Jewish middle-class family in Bielsko, Poland. In 1942, she was deported to work in a textile mill in Bolkenhain, Silesia. Gerda was later sent to forced labor camps in Marzdorf, Landshut, and Gruenberg. She was liberated by the U.S. Army in May 1945. She met her husband when he and his troop liberated her and other women. She emigrated to the United States in 1946.

I read her book. Absolutely incredible what she went through and how she and her husband met, joy and tragedy at the same time!

[@chantalsscaleisafibber]

I've seen her interviews but unaware she had written a book

[@ronnaayscue5537]

I already have heard Gerta’s testimony, and was so touched by it, but hearing her wonderful husband speak of their meeting was the icing on the cake!
I do not understand why on every interview there are people that do not like it. This is inexcusable!

[@aaiello5787]

My tears flow every time I see this testimony 🙏🇺🇸

[@joshbrown9926]

My great grandmother was a Holocaust survivor, I never got to learn her story because I was very young when she died, my grandmothers memory is not so good and reliable anymore so I fear her story has been lost for good.

[@tonyrossi3151]

Some stories are best lost; and some told. Trust God to know the difference. Godbless

this is nice.

[@video198712]

You know, watching these videos of these survivors, some who have grey hair, etc. didn't probably didn't mind getting old, having their hair go white, etc. They endured things no one could ever imagine, they didn't think they would see those years, they probably welcomed it. R.I.P, Gerda
