Sir, I respect you. You grew up into a war and joined in without hesitation. The impact the Nazis had on your life is immeasurable. I would love to have the opportunity to sit and talk with you about your life as a Jew, then and since then. Many men and women your age never get to tell their story.
Idk how old u are. U want to do something for humanity? NEVER FORGET!!!!!! Im 47- I lived IN Germany as a sopmore and junior (graduated as Junior) as a US Army brat- I made friends w some German "kids"" in my age Group.....they were taught there were camps but work camps and the "concentration " camps were Allied propaganda as justification for invading a sovereign nation- they believed OUR version!!!!!!! My Gramps' older brother was in the Unit that liberated Dachau and was unit photographer- our family STILL has the photos.....when I was 15- b4 we went to Germany- my Gramps sat me down, showed me the photos and made me promise to NEVER FORGET!!!! When we forget- history repeats itself see!!!!!!!
A great story from a great Jewish American fellow. A Richie Boy, who are the heros hero. He became someone who was something. He wasn't complaining and never felt anyone owed him anything.
People like this hero embodies how an immigrant should be; dedicating their efforts to doing what they can for their new home with all loyalty alongside. God bless
Oh so much respect to this Gentleman!! What happened to your people was a travesty! I am glad you got to kill some evil and lived yourself Sir! All love from Maryland!
Bless his Heart, to have to go through a portion of his young life; with those folks that had so much hate in their hearts towards "THE Chosen people". Seniors as a whole have so many stories to tell our young generation. We thank you for sharing your story & caring to fight to make America a better place.
@@motaman8074, where are all these so-called American fascists? I'll tell you. In the mind of mainstream media. Beyond a handful of loud mouthed punks on the Right and Left, there aren't any.
@@Chilly_Billy Charlottesville, Jan.6 insurrection. Etc. Yeah ,I'm sure they're all just "patriots" I love this country. Yes , the good outweighs the bad. I didn't say it was fascist. There is however, a rise in totalitarian ideology that is not fake news.
What was his secret operations?? Kudos to him for volunteering & going. He got lucky not to have to have seen the elephant, but worse, going into Dachau. Bless his heart.
He didnt blink almost the entirety of this interview. You can tell all of these years later, the deep hurt and anger this gentleman has, for good reason. I just hope it didnt cause too many issues for him over the course of his life, and I'm glad he was on our side. He doesnt seem like the kind of man one wants to cross. Rest in peace, Mr. Lerner
Imagine your own Country persecuting you like this, we have Monsters running our Country now , this is what we used to have as immigrants, Amazing story and life!!!
I pray we can fight them this next time around with the control factors they have on people now it will be very hard to escape ,but with god all things are possible
What was 1890's-1930's Germany like? What was the impact from immigrant jews on Berlin? Who was theodore herzl and what purpose did Die Welt serve? When was the Zionist Congress convened? When was the term "political zionism" created, and what was the difference between zionism and political zionism? When was the israeli national fund created, by whom, when and where? What did the book Der Judenstaat outline in 1902? In comparison to Japan during the same period during the war, did the nazis kill twice as many civilians as the japanese? Or did the nazis only kill half as many civilians in all of it's camps combined as the japanese killed in mainland china alone? That does not include the civilians slaughtered in the philipinnes, korea, indochina, singapore, the midway islands, guam, just in mainland china. Why weren't japanese war criminals hunted down? The lives of Asians must be worth a lot less than the lives of jews.
I genuinely question why would you bring up this discussion of whether the war crimes committed by imperial Japan are worse than those of Nazi Germany or whether it deserves as much international recognition as the Holocaust when this video doesn't even discuss this issue at all or else you're attempting to minimise the genocide directed against Jews, Gypsies and other European minority groups by the hands of the Nazis.
@@svolon7832 only the political zionists used the crimes against civilians during WW2 to steal a nation. The jews were a vast minority in the nazi camps. Yad Vashem states that there are approximately 3 million verified jewish deaths in nazi camps. This is out of 17 million. Yad Vashem states that any additional numbers come from estimates based upon jews returning to the areas they had lived before ww2. If jews did not go back to where they had lived they were counted as having died in a nazi camp. Every death claimed in such a fashion steals the life of the person who actually died. This way of estimating jewish deaths counts every jew who "migrated" to Palestine, America, England, Austrailia, etc., etc. So, this is why I point out the vast difference between Japanese War Crimes and nazi war crimes. *edit* Also, you completely ignored the impact of theodore herzl on pre and post ww1 Germany. Kind of caused a lot of the animosity toward the "migrant" jews in Germany.
This guy remembered every single minute of his experience, such a pleasure to hear him tell it.
I'll kick them for you my boy. Much respect to your family who did whatever they could to ensure your survival.

YES. Such a fantastic story. Thank you for sharing this, and thank you to this hero for fighting against the scourge that was the Nazi's.
Thank God this man is an American.
He is austrian
Another hero who served this nation with distinguished service. Thank you.
Great video thank you for your service sir
Another American Hero! Hand Salute to you sir!
These interviews with veterans should be required viewing for Jr. High & High School students in America.

He is not glad to have had to kill some, believe me that was the LAST thing he ever really wanted to do.
@@OldNavyAirdale That is totally understandable, which is why I stated “I”was glad. Simple misunderstanding.
Thank you Sir.
I respect you so much Dear Sir because You fight against Nazis.🙏❤🤍💙💪👍
Nothing but respect

Incredible story.
Thank you for sharing this historic moment of your life 🇺🇸 Including your service and courage to fight for freedom 🇺🇸 ❤️
Omg, those poor kids.
I'll definitely be looking for those armpit tats for you, sir.
After listening to this hero, I wonder what he thinks about the direction the U.S. is going today.
Trump is not in office so thats positive.
@CMLAFLAMME i think hes talking about the rise of fascism in this country

@CMLAFLAMME, indeed. We are blessed with a society like few others in human history. We have our problems but the pluses far outweigh the minuses.

Is Mr. Lermer still around today? I know the video was uploaded recently but not sure when the interview took place.
Thank you for your service sir🇺🇸
Good to see he stood up and fought and after his experience and didn’t let the Americans do it
He doesn’t blink
“Geezer”, quality.
Just remember, this man’s journey started with “so I joined to be a medic…”
The intelligence.
That's more of an example of balls than intelligence. A medic is the biggest target on a battlefield
Last time I was this early I slept on the couch
Imagine your own Country persecuting you like this, we have Monsters running our Country now , this is what we used to have as immigrants, Amazing story and life!!!
NEVER AGAIN
Please. I need help against the Austrian Nazis! I am in Austria, working and the local Nazis here are confiscating my salary. Anyone?
Nice
But when you have children the safety of their lives is the most important thing../….yep
