May they Rest in Peace.
What a wonderful couple you are. 60 some years and you can still see the love. Thank you both for sharing your stories with us. At this point I have seen many, many dozens of survivors testimonies and it is amazing how everyone's Road to survival has been.
I am SO grateful for these people for sharing what was a most horrific experience. We can't begin to imagine, but sadly, I believe that we are seeing history repeat itself.
I just watched this video because it came up serendipitously next to another video I received an email about. I remember Dr Vanderpol teaching a class in graduate school 57:49 in which I, a child of Holocaust survivors was extremely influenced by. I had no idea he was Jewish and a survivor himself, but always remembered his name and his teaching opened a path to a lifelong career as a mental health professional. Thank you, Dr Vanderpol, your memory is a blessing.
Phenomenal human beings. We can never comprehend, truly, what people lived through during the Shoah & under Nazi oppression. We are losing the Greatest Generation. I pray a generation yet to come, will fill their shoes. Stand and be counted...against prejudice, racism & discrimination of ANY kind. ✌️
Thank you very much for sharing your life story with us. You are both amazing, intelligent and warm hearted people, and I believe everyone who knows you are happy that after all you have been through, you found each other and till this time we can see your love. Good bless you, your children and your grandchildren.
That was an excellent interview. Both people provided excellent detail on the behaviors of the Nazi regime. I did not know the Nazis could be eluded like Mr. Vanderpol did. That was very interesting to hear.
Nettie, so caring to help people, most likely would've been shot if she hadn't obeyed that horrible Heindel's orders. Also, another survivor, Erica Lawson, mentioned that she helps charities but Never the Red Cross, for the same reasons. Maybe, they were frightened. But thank goodness the Red Cross in Switzerland was good Nettie & her husband both are such great persons, beautiful
My mother's family, who came from England, had a relative who had married into their family in the mid 1800s. Her maiden name was spelled, "van der Pohl" and pronounced the same as this couple. I wonder if it was the same dutch family name as this man?
I am a victim of law enforcement stalking me & harassment. My privacy was invaded they became aware I was a virgin, black, female and Christian. Crimes of sexual abuse for years Los Angeles school district teaching children to gender check me as law enforcement a black adult virgin strange. My parents raised me Christian and I thank GOD everday for my parents. Never received settlement money for 27 years of my life used by law enforcement medical experiments. Holocaust survivors have incourage me and I thank GOD for the survivors you are thee only people who understand 27 years of medical experimenting Minister Ms. Kelli A. Clift.
Please nice lady please please stop feeling guilty,because you lived to tell these stories, I am Person who studies history, and your telling are some I have never heard! Thank you for your truths! I am a first generation Canadian and the Red Cross is the very last people I would ever give money or time to! I did hear of the falseness from a friend jahova wittiness who's family was there!
Went to krakow last month from UK and then see Nazi Germans camp. cracow abslolutely amazing will be back again german camp very sad place but everone have to see the history of holocaust
Thank you so much for sharing with me an infamous fragment of the Hitler's Nazi horrendous regimen. It must be a very sad sad odyssey to recount it. The crimes and cruelties committed against my sons and daughters, my fathers and mothers, my brothers and sisters hurt me deeply, regardless their ethnicity and nationality. In Isaiah 2: 4, Jehovah God, the Creator and Source of life, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, promises: "He will be judge among the nations and will settle matters in relation to many peoples. They will turn their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. The nations will no longer raise their swords against each other and learn no more to wage war." My immediate neighbors are Jews and I am a Jehovah's Witness. Their hearts are superior than pure gold by far. They are extremely kind. The gentleman takes care of my trash can every Wednesday without my asking him to do so. They are lovely human beings, and they are not in need of the smallest improvement.

I have a problem believing all you are saying. When you talked of being transfered to to Thereasienstadt...but you didnt say from where? Most were sent to Westerbork...or Vucht...and THEN sent to wherever. There are many other things you say that do not make sense. How old were you when you went to Theresianstadt?
@@teresatv9209, I dont believe he's saying that but Hetty did not mention the departure point in the Netherlands. Usually its Westerbork or Vucht. Bernie sounds like a Dutchman so he knows what hes talking about. However, what a bitter sweet story of occupied Europe. I am surprised to hear Maurice saying that Anne Frank and D-Day plus her knowledge of the camps. Maurice said maybe Otto Frank, her father, put it in after the war. I've never heard about that before.

I liked the joke at 22 min... humor is everything when there is no hope!
It is very painful to see people recall their hell.
THANK YOU

Yes humour helps us cope in dreadful situations

At the back ground I hear a 'Zaanse' clock striking the time.
I have heard similar stories as Nettie's regarding the Red Cross who visited the camps. I would love to hear from one of these Red Cross people

I do not understand why that guy said his grandmother was a stupid woman
HEARSAY for shekels eh…
Excuuuse me???
I have a problem believing all you are saying. When you talked of being transfered to to Thereasienstadt...but you didnt say from where? Most were sent to Westerbork...or Vucht...and THEN sent to wherever.
There are many other things you say that do not make sense.
How old were you when you went to Theresianstadt?
So you are saying she is a liar. You are an awful person. She knows where she was.😡😡
What are you talking about? She says they were taken to a transport center for about a week, then her father joined them. Then taken to Theresenstandt
WHO are YOU to question these people? You sound evil! I believe every word of their personal testimony.
@@teresatv9209, I dont believe he's saying that but Hetty did not mention the departure point in the Netherlands. Usually its Westerbork or Vucht.

@@stevekinlough588 yes It's actually a known thing regarding Anne franks dad adding stories to her diary.
