    She did a phenomenal job telling her story especially while battling illness. She was fierce, courageous and strong. To endure what she did yet able to continue her family’s line is amazing and a blessing. Thank you for sharing much love and prayers for the family. Rest in heavenly peace.

      My dad died from kidney failure. It's a really difficult illness with so many side effects. We lost my sister unexpectedly, and his heart was just broken. He died less than a year later.
      I really enjoyed this interview. She was crafty and fearless to survive the way she did.

After such atrocities she has such a kind, noble spirit. Hard work, education, family, love, caring for others. These character traits born of great suffering produced so much good in the world. Rest in peace Mrs. Lachman.

    Wow. Wonderful testimony from a sick woman. She is extremely courageous and quick-witted, able to be a good friend and all these and luck helped her. Oh to be born German and have this terrible legacy, and Ukrainians and Poles also behaved vilely. I am sure the British have had their ‘day’ too of shameful behaviour, but at this time in history we do not have such a terrible burden. I remember Rolf Mengele recounting challenging his father’s war record and could see his pain. So if one makes the wrong decisions it hurts one own descendants too. Humans should behave humanely always - but we won’t. At least not without a strong allegiance to God and the 10 Commandments as this lady so rightly says.

    Amazing! Mrs. Lachman's strength, attitude and Heart saved her from a horrible death, but it's a shame she had to go through Hell on Earth to live. Her family is unselfish and caring also. Satan probably has Hitler strapped to a chair, forced to watch the survivors throughout eternity. :) P.S.- GET a speaker- cheap computer speakers won't cut it.

    I agree about the spelling bee. Enough already! Well, I’m so thankful I got to hear her testimony because I become much more thankful for every little thing we enjoy. Very thankful to hear her speak of her Messiah who definitely is coming back in the perfect time. I believe He came, but He was a suffering Messiah then and not recognized. Could His people have suffered what He Himself suffered at the hands of sinful men? Hated, humiliated, stripped of everything He had coming to this earth, His body beaten, torn up, pierced with nails. I believe He knew their agony and they knew His. 2:53:15

  • @David-g1p-v8k
    @David-g1p-v8k 10 місяців тому +1

    Interesting to hear her views but there are others, 2.25 she speaks her father being part of cartel, in other words a monopoetetive, free market, trade by one ethnic grouply, of the sale of factories for ten towns. She doesn't SAY that the factories were those of ethnic Poles but the running of any kind of anti-competitive, anti-free market, trading operation by one ethnic group of a much larger national ethnic group may well engender some animosity, this definitely happened in farm products and farmers decided that enough was enough, they formed a cooperative and cut out the middle man who was positioned "better than average", those middlemen kicked up one heck of fuss.

      Its for documentation purposes. A lot of holocaust survivors are simply unaccounted for records wise due to the nazis destroying documentation at the end of the war. For some of them, theres practically no records of them even exsisting until after the war.

      Do you realize she's one of the last survivors and they have her on tape? Of course they're going to ask her the spelling of everything for historical purposes. Later on they can find out exactly the names of all the places and people she spelled out. I'm surprised you didn't think of that
