this. time. last i'll have time any time i could catch a train that's pretty chill yeah ok 32 you know this i'll have to get out if i've been coming here for 14 years this is a place like no other. d.c. to say ok so yeah we met some. i think it's been 25.

straight. and i usually have a good. drag i say if someone doesn't ask me i'll say it think. they can do it. better but. let us. look for saturday. thanks. by. you are no offense but you're no longer a young woman in fact you are one of the last living survivors of the nazi. and i'm aware of it. and i and i'm wondering how clear your memories of 70 years ago

actually are. i think very clear leverage that. all you like. they forget. they. i was in the. sudan the liberal. they came and they come and i so i was close almost 14.

years to get to pertain to the plates. i shall never forget in my life because i was like an attic looking over which a statement plays. and i witness many sounds. horrible horrible time. looking down. on me and bullets hellish time. sometimes of people tried to escape. the hiding place was under the bed which was. cut out. down close but we didn't have any.

linda. they had they came with a gentleman. he took us out. and they were bringing other people from the hiding. and we knew it was a major shock to us that i dare. to go. my father. never saw. my little sister escaped. and.

the kids. impassable today's. when you have such a horrible experiences as a youngster it's left to fear some kind of fear. that you can add a normal person would not take the stand. because those horrible things what i have see in the skeletons of those people. and only dead looked around was dead to death. so i have them etched there is no doubt about it if i would be not i would be like. so i keep myself always

busy in this is helps me not to think. so much about what i went to this dark. spot the dark spot. in my great honor to introduce. dr regina. to my mother is the only holocaust survivor in the kansas city area who is out speaking regularly about her experience. so i'm going to start my presentation with an overview of what happened to my mom chronologically before during and after the war then my mother would come up and speak. i want to star

was one of the only remaining of my family for the war my mom is highlighted the metal her sister is a little girl in the back row with pigtails. everyone else in this photo was murdered. and his sister survived the war in the forest with the partisans and lives in israel now. my mom's story of survival is incredible to. capture as a teen just like you to witnessing the worst in 3 different doesn't he and 2 her liberation and marrying another survivor my father. then settling here in kansas city to raise me and my brother and sister. i know that you have made it your part of your business to tell people firsthand

what happened and i wonder what what happens to that history what happens to the stories when you are gone and this is. there is speaking about speaking and i will tell you what to prompt me. it was an awakening for me when i heard the skin heads denying that never happened it was just like a tongue and to my brain to my mind to say hey sonia this was the reason you survived you have to speak for them. in better than our streets when one day when we are count that and s.s. men went door to door duros and just you know how to talk our numbers and they start calling all of those numbers where they supposed to go to the guest

i used to say to my daughter if a rich one hard i come please something my greatest fulfillment is speaking to a disturbance in schools because this is our future generation and then in a few minutes when you see this horrible horrible clouds. from the chimney. so you can imagine i don't know if you can imagine. because you never knew where it would be you are. speaking from your heart and speaking what took place in your world to witness if their hearts in their make a change in their lives and take out their hate this would be my greatest accomplishment. well i want to thank you very much for coming and

i. don't know crap. no shots no. factionalism felt. when the wealth draft no 1st 12. points your thirst for action. is that for a good 8. hours a little have is you know i want to hear.

more anger up in a really small town in missouri and. my mom grew up in illinois and she saw. her dad i know around grandpa my mom's side because when they were a little someone from oregon and he got shot in the house and. i just know that it's something that she had to go through. and i really you know appreciate all my life because she is sort of she is a fighter she kind of. how we're so she's definitely a good example for you. my name is caroline i was 14 i am a catholic clone shark injure 14 years old i grew up in wilmington delaware. i am from new york age 13. but

i do relate to. the jewish people and how they survived the holocaust because they are like a brother religion tourists knowing that there was someone who just one person could kill over a 1000000 people makes me feel. you know i don't know how to put it that it's hard for a good person to stand but there it is and it is but you young people i hope and if you turn to you. i will be strong and really stand up for the right thing. for their writings because all the bad underline the main thing is not to close your eyes when something is gong not that i want to. spend a. me and wonders. in the know my

room. if you think. i can kind of relate to how you feel because i know like i love my family more than anything like my mom my best. and so i don't know. what i would do. just. my dad. those are like all those years of your life that you're never going to get back.

you have their wisdom. you know 40 year olds would be 50. that's crazy i just respect. i don't think i would ever be able to. even. i was your age you know when the war broke out there for things. and to see. witnessing things what i have seen. it is. i don't care who you hate i will not get no i cannot this have to come from a higher both i am not the one to forgive what i see. taking place. no buck i will not hate because the hate. will destroy me and now be

a hate there like them. and your ability to say that you're not ever going to hate . when you're fighting with would be like oh i hate you or whatever but you don't hate them obviously but even just to say that is just wrong considering the fact that he actually have a reason to hate. and i think it. says thank you for that thank you thank. you thank you. for. that saying.

i never thought that really. i had a very good eye for crows let me tell you. no tale it was really done my hands. in the war. game mean they had. to. but here you can see him here by dementia and sawing. those who are still. not that far gone you know you see him. this is see him this is the rush over death if you like to use.

the word still. to let it go let's put it. memories said memory it's. 9 minutes. till august when i was seeing myself my motor walking to the guest. it was really i would say. it was a sound. hand to left turn right when you already. spent into camps when it needs.

selection. the ones for they would still make me sick. we were all stay on quarantine. and the ones which is supposed to do against. their own self to. in the morning when i hear the siren sounds. like something was pushing for me. i.

seem. to find a little into a little tiny piece. and i look out except in the time that corner. women's corner i want to. get into. especially when i saw my mouth. piece. so they're holding up you. know. all this i want to show you. ok. this

is my bed almost killed a king sized bet. slip on this side as you can tell it's it goes a little doubt it's all on the field ok yeah this is this is a really unbelievable. it's at least had to be $75.00. and this she had to get it with her sin this is was my mother's. so. this is what's left of this. week's yeah you can see the. beautiful yes. you know. this is what they cherish. it's so dear to me that no one.

no one can. understand and i cannot even describe it myself when i hold my hand. whenever i go to sleep she is with me she is always. after the day that we all met so. i thought about it almost every day. she has impacted me in ways i could have never imagined but like what she was telling us about her mom that's what got to me the most because my mom. is everything to me and i watched her walk away from me knowing what was going to happen. i can't even imagine being strong enough to go on from that point.

teenagers are really hard to reach now they're just structed with their internet social networks and i think that sonia changed that for me at least. she had such a personal message it was hard not to put yourself in her place and think about what it would be like to be her and i think that that got all of our attention and she made me want to change things the way things are she made me want to make an impact on the world and i think that's why it's so important that she keeps talking to people and keep still. changing people's lives like she did mine. is you'll be a reflection of reality. in

a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you the next. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or inmate in the shallowness. 54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to air force base in alaska where is that to say come on i'll show you what's the reason for any type of enhanced u.s. military presence in this area russia. what is it suddenly about the south china

sea that makes it so that it 11000000000 barrels of oil. take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have nuclear weapons capabilities there is reason for concern so that's why we're going to drill down on this story for you today right here on the news with rick sanchez where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly it. to do news again. we're told with a new cold war with china it is not coherently explain to us why even worse where is the strategy there isn't one also sat down.

and i came out from this hell i really could not even shill happy ever and sometimes even people were joking about something i would catch myself if i was even letting i feel guilty and it's very probably difficult for a normal person to grasp and understand you live with that all your life i want to ponder that you will live with it but we did not receive help like now when our boys are coming from the wars in then knowledge finally they need to mend you know for the how do you call it depression we didn't have to tell. the big things we're all a time bomb. and. they would take off you know your i love your wearing and sometimes i would you.
