    She seems transported to the teenager living through these experiences… so authentic. I’m thankful she has had a long life and that she related her story to the USC Shoah Foundation.

    Paulette's story is slightly different from the distressing Auschwitz narratives. She is delightful to listen to, and, the gentleman interviewer is one of the best - he gently guided Paulette through her experiences and helped keep things mostly on track without cutting her off mid-speech as some of the interviewers have been apt to do. Thank you.

      This lady is very charming, but I agree with you, the man who does the interview is a sweetheart, he generates a very empathetic conversation. Other interviews seem more like an interrogation, not an empathetic dialogue.

    I'm glad she was able to share her story. She reminds me of my late grandmother with the richness and feeling of each detail she tells. It makes me miss her very much. I'm incredibly happy that she lived long enough to pass on her knowledge and continue her family.

    The most frustrating thing about all these stories is that u can hear the interviewer very well but not so the person they are interviewing. It's such a shame cos I'm sure if u gave these people access to a microphone we wud be able to hear them much better. I have seen quite a few comments about this n I don't understand what the problem is. I love these individual stories but now if I can't hear them I scroll to find one I can HEAR!!!! Can u plse investigate this problem so we can hear everybody. This is an amazing program n I love to hear all the stories.
    Thank you for this information. I share it with my children and grandchildren.

      Whoa- I haven't heard anyone that knew the word, "vicissitudes" since I read, The Lord of the Flies in grade school! Coolness. I hate the way our language has been changed or erased- the junk they 'teach' in schools now is a shame. Remember the 8 Vicissitudes of Life? Profit and Loss, Fame and Anonymity, Humiliation and Honor and Happiness and Sorrow. TY- that made my day :) .

      Performer Patricia Routledge, of "Keeping Up Appearances" fame and many, many more, gives an in-depth interview included in the bonus features of the complete DVD set of "Hetty Wainthrop Investigates" on her beginnings and influences during her long career, and spends a good portion of the interview speaking about how rich and colorful the English language is when used, and... how little of it is being used nowadays.
      If you are interested in why we don't "speak" English anymore, I highly recommend finding a way to listen to that interview.
      I've heard and read made-up words for things today that already have a word, sometimes several words in our dictionaries...

    She couldn't relate to the Jewish people who lived in Liverpool and they couldn't relate to her because their life experiences weren't the same. Of all the Holocaust stories out there, this one is incredibly tame. She's less a Holocaust victim and more a British subject caught behind enemy lines. Obviously with her family it's more than that but she didn't end up in a death camp.

      @christineantonius4490 in comparison, it's incredibly tame. She had a good war, at least in comparison to those slaughtered, forced on death marches, starved nearly to death, abhorrent living conditions etc.

      If you touch/tap the video screen one time then in the upper right hand corner you will see a square appear with the letters: CC. Touch that square and it will turn on subtitles for you. Do the same thing to turn them off. They are fairly accurate and should help you.
