About a million more people listen to the 60 Minutes radio simulcast in several major cities and on its companion podcast. Tens of thousands each week experience 60 Minutes online. The broadcast’s segments can be watched at 60Minutes.com and on the CBS All Access app. Its webcast, 60MinutesOvertime.com, offers content originally produced for the web, including behind-the-scenes video about the production of 60 Minutes stories and timely archival segments.

We must all remember that history repeats itself. We should be more aware of what’s going on around us.
Unfortunately that is true. Israel is practicing apartheid against Palestinians. They’re only vaccinating Jews.

@LeoS What about the story of - Hitler, they claim, escaped punishment and lived out his life in tranquility in Patagonia until his death in 1962 at the age of 73. Google It.
It was a period of conspiracy and I believe that Hitler did run away because lots of countries politicians were involved in ww-2 that is why he got support to escape. Even America knew that he was alive somewhere in Argentina. They never exposed him because of their own fear. They kept it in archive those data in a Confidential Documents.

What about. . . I have sympathy for Hitler. . That tells me alot about you. . Sad. . Welp
It is amazing to see these survivors’ strength. I met Corrie Ten Boom’s family and heard her story that inspired her book and I will never forget their story and what it was like to meet them and see the emotion they had. It wrenches your heart.
@touchdownwings
Wow, to find Corrie ten Boom’s name here. My uncle brother was Pieter Hartog who worked in the ten Boom’s group mostly in Haarlem. I often visit his grave and daily pass the site he was murdered by the nazis. Unfortunately the family never told me the story of him and Corrie ten Boom, even though I lived in Haarlem and passed that house many times.
Corrie ten Boom was an incredible lady, even before the war. Being one of the very few female watch makers in Europe. But she definitely played a major role in the resistance and saving many lives. She spoke fondly of Pieter Hartog in several interviews. He saved many children by taking them from hospitals before they were supposed to be send of to concentration camps.
@@sanderdeboer6034 I´m sorry, I get a bit confused by this part: "My uncle brother.." what does that really mean? Is it a brother of your uncle, that did not have the same mother or father as your own father or mother? However, thanks for contributing to the history! After all, I think that´s why we all are here, because this will never go away, unless we keep it alive. That might actually have sounded more cryptic than I wanted, but I´m thinking of the way that history tends to repeat itself, unless we learn from it. And to learn from something like this, sadly we have to keep it alive. And I would happily remember any casualties or heroes of this war, but I really can do without thinking about it. The horrors seem too extreme
@@olenilsen4660 It was the brother of my uncle, who was the husband of the sister of my grandmother, to be precise. My uncle Jan, who died two years ago, was my favorite uncle who I had the most contact with. And his wife, my aunt, was also the midwife who helped me be delivered into this world. They both lived in Haarlem, also my hometown.
And the town were the most famous resistance fighter of the Netherlands came from and operated. Hannie Schaft or as known by the nazis as the ‘girl with the red hair’. There is also a movie you can watch about her story, based on a book with the same title. The brother of my uncle is depicted in two movies, the latest being made in 2015 called ‘Return to the Hiding Place’.
His grave is almost next to that of Hannie Schaft, and every year on the 4th of may there is a remembrance walk to the dunes and this grave site where a few hundred resistance fighters are buried. Most of them were murdered in the dunes, and these sites can also be visited. I often walk to these places in the middle of the dunes, and reflect on what they must have felt, knowing they would be killed at that spot.
It is a beautiful area, and yet feels like a ‘guilty landscape’.
Agree that history repeats itself, as it did with Dutchbat in Srebrenica. Were 8000 men were murdered by the Serbs, who should have been protected by Dutchbat on their UN mission. Dutch military helped the men go on the busses provided by the Serbs and they should have realized that a genocide was likely to happen.
However a lot of blame can be given to the UN, for not giving air support when requested by Dutchbat. And war criminals Slobodan Milosevic and Ratko Mladic (Butcher of Srebrenica) are obviously the true criminals in this story. I feel that proper history education could have helped in this situation and it might have prevented it.
I couldn't imagine learning, after my whole life, that I was on a list basically sentencing me to my death and someone simply crossed me out.
Could you imagine slavery... and most our owners become politicians
They had me on the list, I "talked" them out of it.

Me too I cried watching this
@@janinecaramanus1392I laughed
This is so important to never forget what happened. The records are a reminder of the immense cruelty of the Nazis
My heart goes out to these men and any survivors. In 1990 I visited the Dachau sites with a few friends. It was one of the saddest experiences I’ve ever had. On the vast property there was no signs of life… meaning birds or squirrels. Just dead silence and it was very eerie even though it was a beautiful and sunny spring day. I’ve always enjoyed learning about history but this was on a whole other level. We stood on a small area of a huge concrete slab where they would have held roll call. Then we were told that a spot a few feet away was where Hitler would stand and speak to the prisoners while visiting the camp. I remember that we all were overcome with great sorrow and a deep sense of dread. Upon leaving I kept thinking that the town right outside the prison had to know that this was going on.
Ofcourse, the people of the towns and cities. knew very well..!!
They all knew from the start when they passed the jews with the star of david on them, they could smell the stench from the crematoriums, see the jews transported in air tight shut train compartments, they saw them being dragged out of their houses and loaded onto trucks by the Nazis and watched the jewish homes emptied.
What about all those crowds Hitler mesmerized with his volatile speeches?
Everybody knew. Just that the German Christians alive pretended not to know at the end of the last century...
Hitler never visited any camp's so that's misinformation .🤔
And that if they tried to do anything about it the entire village would be executed. The terror was across the land, not just in the camps.
@@FigaroHey BS, most Germans supported the camps or didn't care either way. Hitler's demagoguery influenced many.
@@verbalkint4258 You need to rise above a comic book level knowledge of history.
Miki Schwartz was my co-worker. In the mid 90's I was a new grad hire and worked with him and his group. I remember him being such a nice person. I also remembered when he wore short sleeve shirts that his Auschwitz tattoo was visible. He had a very positive personality and truly appreciated life.
Thanks for sharing this fine information with us.
What an amazing man..
Wow. You seem blessed to have known him.
He was my dad as well
Wow. You were lucky to know him
“The bureaucracy of the devil”: that gave chills to my spine.
We cannot begin to comprehend the wickedness, the atrocities, the absolute EVIL conceived in the heart of this demonic ruler.. To be perpetrated on the most innocent, for the "crime" of being the "wrong heritage or race".
"The Father of Lies." No kidding.
Sandra Sharp he wasn't demonic but just a human being . Thats scary.
Yesss.
Lol
I'm 60 and served in the U.S. Army in the early '80s in Germany. I got to go to Bergen-Belsen. I showed this to my 17 year old daughter tonight. I want her to know what happened and to make sure that it never happens again. She said that this is so sad. Never forget. This brought tears to our eyes
It does and it's 1922 right now
@@demiarmes9103 you think it's at 1922 I'd say closer to 1929 so you think the bulsiviks are just now starting?
I'm still affected by a visit to the Holocaust museum in DC.
These survivors are so strong. This is powerful.
The way these men carried on afterwards and picked up the pieces is so inspiring to me. They are so strong to be able to do this.
@Eti Bronx he didn’t say it was easy for them. Calm down
@@ahwasright1364 - Your comments make absolutely no sense.

The democrats are not that bad yet. The current democratic platform as expected is very similar the Nazi's 25 point 1933 platform: www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/riseofhitler/25points.htm
I for one like that Democrats are moving faster in that direction. The NAZI's did not last much longer and 11 years later their reign ended and the world learned a very simple valuable lesson that lasted 20 years.
I know.. after losing your whole family and after everything you’ve been thru, I would’ve been a depressed shell of a person for a long, long time.. God bless these brave strong men.. 💜🙏🥲
So important to hear these survivors. Hard to not cry.
I agree and I am no snowflake but a strong man with emotions. You may want to get some therapy.

I went to Jewish memorial gallery in Canada and Florida before it was exhausting to be next to a rail car I had to sit down. It felt too close to the present.

EEeeeeeee÷eeeeeEE÷eeeEEEE¹E
The most shocking bit of this video for me was when he showed us his tattoo. It's hard to wrap my head around the fact that they can show us first hand evidence of what most of us have only seen in textbooks. It really highlights the reality that these atrocities did not actually occur that long ago.
I met a old man abt 20 yrs ago n he was speaking to us abt surviving the holocaust... he told me that he, his brother, his sister n 2 or 3 others were on a train, they decided to jump off and run... he said they were starving n had to hike abt 80 miles n the snow.. he said he lost his brother n sister b4 they made it to a farmers house n that him n the rest of them almost died from bc they ate so much... anyway, I went up to him after he spoke n asked if I coukd see his tattoo... he said sure n he pulled up his sleeve n showed me... always thought it was interesting to meet a survivor or the holocaust and to see his tattoo...
I have watched this a few times and I still get choked up.
How a human can maintain their humanity after going through atrocities like this?
I taught history for 35 years and never pulled my punches when teaching this topic. I used to show some horrific pictures in later years, found deep in the Internet. Often my pupils left these lessons in tears, always in shocked silence, except for those who thanked me as they left. I never once had complaints from parents, in fact many thanked me for not only informing their children, but for opening their own eyes to the horror.
Despite this, I have sat and watched this video with tears streaming down my cheeks. The reactions of the second victim particularly, broke my heart.
Unfortunately, too many history teachers shy away from this subject, fearing the effect it would have on their classes, and indeed upon themselves. I didn't care if my pupils saw me cry. I wanted them to understand that a man could be affected by this in ways they might not have expected. I wanted them to be so shocked that they would do whatever they could to ensure that it never happens again.
Unfortunately though, my small efforts will never be enough. Anyone who has read my comment can add their efforts by sharing this video.
My 8th grade English teacher dedicated an entire week to Holocaust and WWII remembrance. I’m sure it would never fly today, but back then she’d have the principal and several other teachers dressed like German soldiers barge into our classroom and start shouting orders, anyone who didn’t immediately obey or who they simply didn’t like the look of was “killed” and had to remain silent the rest of the period while the others were given random tasks to complete, all the while being shouted at. Eventually everyone was “killed,” and the teacher ended the period talking to us about the camps, the ghettos, the evil of Germany at the time. It probably sounds silly, but man it was a powerful lesson. I’ve never forgotten.
My kids HS has a Holocaust class. They also took a trip to Auschwitz. There was no such thing when I was in HS in the 80’s.
I absolutely agree with u, I am German born 1956 and what my People did during the Holocaust is just absolutely Horrible and I still can't wrap my Head around it, it should never be forgotten. I now live in America for 45 Years, I love this Country, however one thing I don't understand is to this Day there is so much Racism here to this Day against Minoritys mainly Black's Mexicans and Native Americans the only true Americans that was there Country til the white Man came.How come that is not in American History Class?
@@heidrunwoodall8020 I wonder how they teach the history of the holocaust in Germany
My daughter attended a semester long class dedicated to the studies of the holocaust. She taught me a thing or two.

Can 60 minutes go back to doing reporting like this?
@Philip Fabian they still do this type of reporting. You just need to stop watching Fox.
@@Peter-976 Maybe if ALL networks did reporting like this, instead of some sort of political agenda, one way or the other, people wouldn’t think there was bias in the media.
Peter They most certainly do not. Propaganda, pure and simple. Worthless.
@Philip Fabian - This is _exclusively_ the kind of reporting that 60 Minutes conducts… so if much of it has ticked you off recently, you oughta take a good hard look at yourself, and at what it is that you’re supporting - before more innocent folk wind up in Stephen Miller’s concentration camps.
Ricky Tenderkiss Years ago if 60 Minutes reported on an issue, it was pretty rock solid. Now, it's mostly solid political propaganda for the left.
I am in awe of people who overcome and still remain empathetic and kind! “The brutality of it”...the survivor still mourning how others were mistreated brought me to tears.

Or the Armenians. Most people don’t know about the Armenian genocide that occurred in the early 1900s by the Ottoman Empire. It was the first time a group of people were systematically executed by a governmental body. The word for genocide wasn’t coined until World War 2, so this horrible injustice is largely forgotten.

kennerfreak7 you should definitely pass those pictures on (or digital copies) to a museum. Things like that need to be preserved to tell the whole story’s.

I'd love to have some time in that archive. As a historian, this is gold. Pure gold. These people were not victims, they weren't numbers. These were human beings, with loves, hates, dreams and lives. To limit them to statistics, you rob them of their humanity.
The voices of the survivors are so valuable. I'm so grateful to have met Eva Kor before she passed. As painful as the history is, we must hear their stories.
The fact that Jack has such a great sense of humor after everything he went through blows my mind.
Humor is what gets us through the hardest days
I was thinking the very same thing..
Boy, how powerful. This is the third or fourth time I've watched this video and it never gets any less...I'm not sure of the correct words, other than powerful. There are tons of amazing historical documentaries; but nothing beats interviews and testimony from people who were actually there.
As someone with German ancestry (ancestors came to the US in the 1850s), I hope I never find that a distant relative remained in Germany and was part of this horrific, evil and brutal act. I'm proud of my German ancestry (as I am of my Irish and French-Canadian ancestry as well), but I couldn't help but break down in tears when I visited the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC in 2019.

Some of the stories they're telling are just horrible but at the same time it's good that it's being documented so people never forget what really happened, as hard as it may be to hear. Thank you to these absolutely brave people for visiting the archive and telling their stories.
The sickness of the people that are still denying this.
Which is why it can happen again. Humans are in denial of their own nature because the implications scare them.
It happens in America live on camera, but people still refuse to see
and every single one denying it are Republicans. Fact.
@@davidbrawn2828 and the majority of "conservatives" are SUPER 🐑 thinking they're in on it
Nuance is difficult for some people to grasp. The line between good and evil divides every person's heart. Many shades of gray.
Horrifying, absolutely horrifying.
Never cease to amaze me how cruel humans can be
Worse than animals... They were demonic not human!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's been going on, since the beginning of time. Shouldn't surprise anyone.
Similar goes on in China today and the NBA is fine with it as long as their games are shown in China and they all get paid.
Horrific times.. absolutely heartbreaking😭
God damn this is the most heartbreaking thing I've ever seen in my life. I can't remember the last time I cried..
I can't imagine having to walk around with that serial number on your arm for the rest of your life, being constantly reminded, as if you could ever forget.
That's a helluva point...
I mean they can get it removed, but some must remember
Get ready for your virus vaccine passport....
@@uio890138 Oh yes. The people to are fighting COVID are the Nazis of the 21st Century.
@@uio890138 maybe by some tiny chance you’ll be right in the future but to compare vaccine passports to the holocaust at this point is insulting to what these people went through
I would like to express my deep condolences to everybody to whom this generation of Germans ( my grandparents generation) caused harm . We shall never again turn against each other , we’re equal . Brothers, sisters, fellow humans who will benefit greatly from supporting each other through openness and generosity. War, conflict and suppression needs to be avoided at all cost and it is all of our responsibility to make sure that we uphold those values of peace and community.
Never again Germany.
Be a light to the rest of the world.
@Eti Bronx Yes but the Trumpist fascists have now exposed themselves so we know who to watch out for.
As a German-American Jew and descendant of Holocaust survivors, one who reviles and is deathly afraid of trump and his enablers, I thank you, sir.
@@thenowchurch6419 You and anyone who agrees with you is so stupid. Your pals like AOC and others are calling to barr trump allies from ever holding office, trying to strip them financially, turn off their income (social media) and YET you actually believe us trump supporters are fascist. If we were, don't you think that over the past 4 years something would have been done about Trump's loudest critics? Sorry to break your bubble, but your despicable to not be able to see this. Have fun on your moral high ground
@@Ronald-qs1pn Maybe you should ask for clarification before jumping to assumptions.
Just because I am anti-Trump does not mean I support AOC or the Dems.
Just because I used the term Trumpist fascists does not mean that I consider every Trump supporter , a fascist.
Also a Trumpist fascist in my estimation is a unique kind which operates with cowardly stealth and had not reached the level of confidence and popular support that they deemed sufficient to start rounding up enemies.
But its okay you can vent your feelings here.
One day at a supermarket located in N.E. Ohio around 1972, I was 5, mom and I were in the grocery line. A senior citizen behind us began placing her groceries on the counter. As she did I notice numbers on her arm. Having been told to never write on my skin I pointed at her arm and exclaimed: "Hey, she's has writing on her skin." She immediately covered the numbers and said to my mother: "I'm sorry, he shouldn't have to see that, I apologize."
My mother and the woman at the register, along with several in line began to assure her it wasn't her fault I had seen what was on her arm. One of the customers said: " Never again." To which others repeated: "Never again." I was told after leaving the store why she had that tattoo and the horrors she must have went through. Man's inhumanity to man is a disease we still haven't cured.
I can't imagine what those poor people went through.
So weird to think about how recent the holocaust is relatively speaking. Events like this always felt so distant in the past but it’s really not.
Given my father was a Holocaust survivor, it never feels all that distant to me.
True. As a kid in the early 80s i remember boys playing around doing the extended arm salute saying 'Heil Hitler' I knew it meant something bad by the way people reacted to it but i didnt know what the horrible details till high school history class learning about WW2. I dont think schools spend that much time on that period anymore.
@@brendaechols2228 definitely not taught as much as it should be. US history classes are notorious for bias and leaving things out.
UA-cam needs to stop running ads during videos of tragedies like this. It for one disrupts the mood, and secondly, it is a form of disrespect. I know the algo is not smart enough but maybe there is something that can be done.
it's the channel owner, in this case CBS, who decides whether ads run during a video or not.
Agree , show some decency for gods sake you tube , never forget
So... Stop running adds during a documentary on the invasion of the mongals, or the spanish conquistadors? Why do you think these exist? To generate money, if you wanted non profit, there is this thing called a library... Comment doesn't make much sense.
@@HistorysMysterys makes perfect sense not wanting to see some fat clown in a pair of sunglasses whistling a tune and then asking Google to tell him the title of the song “Dance Monkey”
If you don't have tears in your eyes after watching this, there is something wrong with you...
Or you see thru the deceivers. I'll prey for you.
Or you are easily conned. Pray for yourself, @diamonds3958.
Wow. Very Moving, Thank you 60 minutes.
These ads that pop up while watching this are inappropriate.
YES. I thought the same. Guy is breaking down while his Holocaust PTSD is being triggered and all of a sudden BUY THE NEW SWIFFER WET JET
60 Minutes deserves to get paid for producing such important, high quality content. It is what it is.
Solution = UA-cam Red
When he spoke of the people being left to die in what was essentially a toilet, broke my heart
The inhumanity is almost hard to believe
I Agree
Agree , heartbreaking
Ik. That story alone makes a horrific, sickening tragedy even more sickening.
You’re right, it is almost hard to believe. It’s like every single horrific thing one could think of happened during the Holocaust. Very sad
No words but tears , thank them for sharing their story
Very sad...no words to write.
those were some of the darkest moments in the history of mankind.
you ain't seen nothing yet , unfortunately...
Barely. Germany was light when it came to WW2 war crimes but people aren’t ready for that convo
The Inquisition of the middle ages was quite horrific.
Not even close
@@047Kenny hahah it's mental that people like you seem to think you have some sort of inside information that other people are just too stupid to wrap their heads around. Your wrong btw. Do yourself a favour and watch TIKs video on German violence against women during the war
This made me tear up when they looked at their signatures
Especially the first one when he escaped a death list
Really?
@@chasec9197 Really what?
Must be horrible feeling horrible:/
12:03 that’s quite possibly the most intense and profound statement I’ve ever heard
Thank you for sharing this,I know it must have been hard for them to talk about. We all must never forget them .or the evil that spawned such atrocities .God bless those who died ,and the survivors . May they find peace .
I have personally known two wonderful individuals that were survivors of Auschwitz. A brother and sister. The brother at the age of 10 was assigned to remove the gold from the bodies of those that had been exterminated. These two individuals somehow held on to their sanity, their passion for life and compassion other people. They are still an inspiration to me, but also a reminder of how very little it takes for a human being to become disconnected and ruthless.
I know one sweetest lady and her sister you will ever meet.
how did yall run into people i know? Yall are evil.
@@williammekhjian5764 It takes so very little for a human being to become disconnected and ruthless!
@@MichaelBrown-zd1zk what ya do to him? But yes that is true. Let the true sick ppl be exposed by covering this.
kitty ---- ?
When Mr. Schwartz's name came up on that deportation list, my own heart was thumping with fear. I can only imagine how he felt realizing how close he came to certain death.
I received information about my father from this service back in 2012. They were so helpful and sent me extra information from another source in Berlin. I can't believe after ten years I'm looking at all of these documents that are similar to my fathers with tears streaming down my face. All of those people who didn't make it.
Such a heaviness in your chest as you watch these men recall their trauma. I would have been broken.
In your shedding of transparency on these horrific times, you have provided something wonderfully important to these survivors. Their stories have been heard and legitimized; they are hero’s now. You are to be commended by us all for your important works in journalism.
Its crazy to hear him read names. Like that really happened. Real people. Everyone was just a number and date. its heart breaking.
I am so glad these documents are being made public at last.
God Bless these people, one can only imagine the horror that they have been through.
So horrific... Regardless of how much you learn about about the Nazis’ actions, seems like there are always more layers atrocities....
That’s when happens when the external victim needs another round of white guilt shaming
So true.
@@HS-sz5ui i feel horrible for them, doesnt give me one bit of guilt though. just that it must never be repeated.
Oh yes, 75 years from now they will still be uncovering these "secrets" when ever they want to.
And more layers and more layers.. from accounts of people who were there to documented history.. brutal, macabre, nasty layers of evils..
Somewhere in those records is my great grandmother and other family. This drives a knife in my heart.
Members of my son’s family (on his fathers side) were executed at Babi Yar. Part of 30,000 people killed in less than 3 days. I can’t wrap my brain around that much loss.
To certain point it's good that they got tattooed then it meant death, later survival and today living proof that no one can deny that this really happened. My heart to the survivors and the murdered. Greetings from Panamá
Heart wrenching
How could a person, let alone a people, do such horrible things. It’s heartbreaking. My Grandmother survived a concentration camp where she watched her mother die. Unfortunately history repeats itself
U ask a good question...has an answer..... I saw a documentary... after WW 1 brits...everyone evolved blame Germany 🇩🇪for ww1... made them pay crazy reparations...humiliation...Frenchman died and as procession passed French officer kicked German n thebutt cause he didn't remove his hat.... same kind f mistreatment white do to us... thing is Germany was building pipe line from Bagdad to Berlin? (Oil) brits didn't have/ didn't want them to have ..... felt jews betrayed/ stabbed n the back.... I'M NOT DEFENDING/ EXCUSING.... A .ILLION GERMAN MARKS (DOLLARS) 1 EGG. HIT BABY CAME.... SAID HOLD YO HEADS UP.... GIVE US THE LAND U TOOK.... AFTER WW 2 EVEN.... GERMANY STRONGEST EUROPEAN COUNTRY!!!! (AGAIN)
Have a look at who the mightiest nation in the world elected as their former president. If you can figure out how that happened, you´ve got your answer.
One of the most horrifying moments and events of crimes and evil against humanity... Going to the Holocaust museum in Washington along with finally watching the Schindler List film, reading Elie Wiesel’s Night, Anne Frank’s quotes forever changed and touched me in a way. 💔💔💔#NeverForget
Pretty articulate work for what it was/is.
I cannot imagine what kind of trauma that man relived in his mind when he touched that paper with his signature. I cannot imagine that as a young boy he even considered he'd be alive when it was over much less touch that paper again as an old man.
This is where hate will carry you.
true that
We have more in common than we don’t
This is where believing we are better than another gets us.
Don't hate. You know which side of America is hating excessively and who is fostering the hatred. One person who used to keep a copy of Hitler's speeches by his bedside. Guess who. Type his name and "Hitler's speeches" as keywords into the search entry, and you find the proof. You can be sad about the depravity of such people.
@@normaforsyth7950 They didn't believe they were better, they believed they were being destroyed by them.
Thank you for reposting this.
This was really heavy to listen to. Bless these people.
Thank God for archives, historians, researchers and scanners. God bless them and this work.
Honoring the memory of the holocaust as a whole by focusing on ordinary personal stories of everyday lives is such an incredibly touching tribute.
Be proud of those numbers and keep telling your story.
Sad that it took that long to put this into the history of the world. I know Germany is extremely embarrassed but no country can say they don't have skeletons in their closets of history
Closer to shame.
the US's Japanese interment camps
They are ashamed rather than embarrassed, however they are not responsible for the actions of previous generations. Also Germany was not hiding the documents as you imply.
@@ianjenkins8114 I dont think it could have been hidden easily at 16 miles of file cabinets.
@@georgeshepherd6431 not that it’s a moment of pride as it is indeed moment of shame, I wouldn’t dare compare to be of similar terms to the events of the Holocaust. Then again I may be misinterpreting your comment especially in relation to the original.
11:38 "A11 382. You ever see that number before?" "I see it every time, you wanna see it?" "Sure." He then rolls up his sleeve. That brought tears to my eyes.
So glad to hear these survivors stories, we must never forget
