I have just finished reading about Fusia and Max in Sharon Camerons book, The Light in Hidden Places. I can't imagine what they went through and to keep their courage, hope and love strong in the face of adversity. We must never forget what happened and we must always celebrate the lives of the people who risked their own lives to save others.
"we must always celebrate the lives of the people who risked their own lives to save others." No doubt, but no one needs the fairy tales which this Koppel is telling at the beginning.
She has a very youngish sounding voice. I just read the book The light in hidden spaces and didn't even know that Stephania was a real person. It was an incredible story that I wont forget anytime soon.
Mam nadzieję, że po wojnie żyli niesamowitym życiem. Stefania zostanie na zawsze zapamiętana (I hope they lived an amazing life after the war Stefania will forever be remembered)
Też mam taką nadzieję! Mieszkam w Przemyślu gdzie Stefania ukrywała tych ludzi i często przechodzę obok tego domu i zawsze myśle o tym jaką odwagą się wykazała. Podziwiam tą kobietę :D
Don´t lie so much, Koppel! There was no man with the name Josef Burzminski at this time! His name in Europe was Maximillian Diamant, born in Vienna (Austria) and that´s also where did die.
Does this guy get nothing correct? @1:00 he talks about a two storage compartment in her apartment where she did hide the Jews while in fact she did rent a house (with the money of the Jews for whom she worked before!) and did hide them there!
@4:17: " He told me that he had jumped from a window from a running train which was taking him and his family to a concentration camp." Funny thing, in summer 1943 when the Jews went into their hiding in the outskirts of the town Przemysl there were no deportations to a concentration camp from the ghetto Przemysl! The first transport to Auschwitz was only in September 43!
November 18, 1942 was an “Aktion” in the Przemyśl ghetto. Nearly all transports went to the Bełżec death camp, much closer. Max and his brother Chaim were on that train.
@@Edburzminski and their family went into hiding in summer 43 and not in Nov.42 or earlier. It´s always good to remember/tell the same story, otherwise there are contradicting informations which are "unpleasant". Like the story from the Holocaust survivor Andor Stern who tells that he saw his mother coming out from the crematorium chimney in Birkenau in Oct. 1944, that he was brought there in April 1944 and that he was there 13 months. In reality he was arrested on July 3rd 1944 in Hungary, brought to Auschwitz but transfered to the concentration camp Dachau where he arrived on July 27th (!) 1944 and was liberated by the Amis there! All files with the evidence are public domain and easily accessable nowadays! Do those people not know that?
@@Edburzminski or the story of Rabbi Nissen Mangel. Who tells the lie that he´s the youngest survivor of Auschwitz (he was 10 - 13 years old when he did arrive in Auschwitz in 1944, I don´t remember the exact age). And that 3 mill. Jewish chidlren were murdered in Auschwitz. In fact there were toddlers who born and many younger children which did survive the camp, eg. Eva Mozes Kor. Is it allowed for a rabbi to tell lies?
What an illiterate! @0:25 he claims that Stefania Podgórska was a 16 year old girl in 1942. While she was born on June 2nd 1921!! Thus she wasn´t 16 but 21 years old in 1942!
With all due respect, Stefania lied to the Nazis on a work permit application, saying she was older so she could get a job. According to her sister Helena, Stefania was 8 years older than her, putting Stefania’s birth year at 1926, making her 16 in 1942. 1921 just stuck and is on her grave marker. Stefania was my mom and Helena is my aunt.
@@Edburzminski the Germans didn´t care for her age. She didn´t work by a Wehrmacht or SS-unit but by Polish Jews before WWII. For the Germans here age was never important, they hired school girls on the Eastern Front to wash them their clothes and/or to bring them water from the river. I´m very well aware who those people are, don´t worry. Your father was born in my capitol, Vienna. I´m not interested to have arguments with someone, I´m interested in Holocaust EDUCATION and that´s why I care and protect the truth!
@wzukr Do you get off on hating on this video? Who cares if she was 16 or 21. What matters is that she was brave beyond imagination. They all were. And those little mistakes don't change that.

I live in Przemyśl :D
ME TOO! It’s insane that it was all real

SAME IT WAS AN AMAZING BOOKKK
My town too

I'm just listening to an audio book, that put her story into a novel. People like her are the light in that darkness.
I am watching the movie "Hidden in Silence." I admire such great bravery and kindness in her heart!
I am re reading The Light In Hidden Places by Sharon Cameron. LOVE THIS!!
Thanks
Love

There was a prominent man also named Max Diamant, but that was a different person. Josef Burzminski (formerly Max Diamant) died in Los Angeles.
And neither did she witness the hanging of a Polish family for hiding Jews as claimed @1:15.
Does this guy get nothing correct? @1:00 he talks about a two storage compartment in her apartment where she did hide the Jews while in fact she did rent a house (with the money of the Jews for whom she worked before!) and did hide them there!

@@Edburzminski Chaim? Did his brother Henryk change also his name? Into Chaim?

All due respect, there were multiple siblings in the Diamant family. Henryk and Max are the only two who survived, to the best of our knowledge.
