I just found out that my hero, Gerda Klein, has passed. What an inspiration to mankind. Gerda & Kurt's love story is unforgettable. She is now reunited in heaven with her beloved husband, and the family she lost in the Shoah. If you have not read Gerda's book, or watched her testimony, you absolutely must. Her legacy will live on. Blessings of love & comfort to the Klein family.
I found out today that Mrs. Klein died last year. I just sent a donation this morning to her charity (Citizenship Counts) and was looking her up on Google to see what she was up to. So sad....but she is with her husband, Kurt, her parents and brother, and friends like Ilse, now. RIP, dear lady.
Love, light, peace & strength to her family, friends, those she educated, those whose hearts she touched and all those she taught what true resilience & strength look like in action! 💜💖
Ohh, I felt very sad to read that Gerda Klein is no more.
What an amazing, unbelievable survival she exerienced.
Gerda went through terrible torcher at the hands of the Nazis.
Her dark years ended and bright rays of hope and joy entered her life with liberation at the hands of young American soldier and her saviour Kurt Klein!!They fell in love and were married later.
Happy that Gerda is now reunited with her husband Kurt in heaven.
RIP Klein and Gerda.
Gerda Weissman Klein thank you very much for all your speaking on the holocaust thru your interviews, videos and book(s). You are an example of someone who never gave up with things got so bad and somehow you made it thru and went on to thrive.
Bless this wonderful woman, a pillar of strength to anyone trying to understand the horrors of the Holocaust and how to deal with tragedy. May she be reunited in heaven with her loving family. Her resilience and strength will never be forgotten. ❤❤
Rest in peace Gerda. You were a wonder.
Had the pleasure of meeting this beautiful soul along with her beautiful family that she created with her husband and that is going to be her legacy rest with her husband
Oh my goodness,I remember when she made a speech at the Oscars years ago,I was so enamored of her .
I will never forget my first experience with the Holocaust,I was in the fifth grade ,we were in the multi purpose room ,then the lights went out and the film started to roll,I’m now 73 ,I will never forget what I saw that day.
Years later I would visit the Simon Weinsenthal museum in Los Angeles with a group of my colleagues at the beg of the tour we were handed a plastic card which we carried throughout the tour ,and the end of of the tour we were asked to place the card in a machine and a paper with the story of the person who’s name was on the card ,I still have it to this day ,afterward we had the privilege of meeting a beautiful,noble woman a Holocaust survivor ,she showed us the tattoo on her wrist,I will never forget her or that day ,and to think that some still think that the Holocaust was a hoax RIP sweet woman RIP .
Rest in Peace
I am from Poland
I think we read a short story about her life in eighth grade English. Rest In Peace, she has inspired so many
The greatest revenge is living a full life after trauma. Put those things behind you while never forgetting and living on.
RIP Gerda ⭐️
