but we did end up in auschwitz. >> what were conditions like in the boxcar? >> well, it was just everybody was very -- there was no problem. i mean people were just all miserable and sort of like misery loves company somebody's very sick and somebody died but we were all not too far from that. we were given no food from what i recall. i don't remember being given any food except the stuff we brought with us. >> what time did you get into auschwitz? >> we came in -- i think it was early in the morning, like maybe 10:00. i have no idea but i seem to remember it was early morning. in other words, like 10:00ish. we were -- many people who wanted to see were trying to get to the window as we were going by different areas but i remember when we pulled in and the train finally came to a stop we stopped several times before that but this looked like the final destination, you could hear rackets and the prisoners in auschwitz that i didn't know that it was auschwitz but the man who opened up our boxcar door did comment quickly to say "tell the young people that they a

there were a lot of people being sent to auschwitz.and then we knew that things were going bad with the war because there were not bombings but we had sirens were blowing every so often and we had to stop working, there was no electricity, and we were going crazy, being vicious. everybody there was incredibly bad. the men would stand outside for hours on a pail, you know, and if a piece of bread flew over the fence, everybody was beaten to say who got it. i'm proud to say about our people that nobody gave away the culprit. we all knew who it was. and i think that this -- you know, what has troubled me so much that i have read some of the accounts that people say how cruel people were, how they stepped on each other or they make it sound like it was like a snake pit. the people's survival. look, i don't know what happened in other camps and this is why i have always used my maiden name on everything i had written and said. i would say people behaved in the most incredible manner imaginable by and large, and i think that this should be s

i'm sorry. >> larry: was it a mosque or of it auschwitz?figure it out. >> mall the america. >> larry: do you think this is just a fad? is there an expiration date? and then you have the selfie stick which is more obnoxious. >> booo! >> larry: is there an etiquette to take the selfie? >> no i feel like we all look like an asshole. there's no way around it. >> larry: i've done it myself. what would be the worst best place to take a selfie. what's the worst best? the worst best? the dentist? >> you mean the best worst like the absolute worst that beats -- >> like oh! but then you see a picture, oh! >> child birth selfie. i want to take one right when the baby is crowning. right when the shoulders come out. like -- >> i like that. >> nice. >> larry: as the baby is coming out is not bad. that's good. all right, so we have the pope here. so the dalai lamay llama said he's not opposed to a female successor but she has to be very attractive. otherwise, not much use. >> because he looks like zac efron. because he's so attractive. >> here's the thing

in fact bombers were routinely fine over and by auschwitz. mccoy also said if we buy mosh wits it will create even greater vindictiveness on the part of the germans. but one has to ask, what would be greater and more vindictive than the fact that little children were being herded into gas chambers. so there is one other thing that was said. it would be a diversion of resources from the war efforts. this is a serious charge and something to be taken seriously. as it turns out when the army rose up against the nazis in warsaw and were being butchered in this terrible weeks of battle. roosevelt sent help to them. he knew full well it would have minimal impact. he did as he told churchill i want to make a symbol to the world that we stand for them. subhash was was not bond. actually that's not totally true, it was bombed at one point, but it was bombed by mistake. they ran into their shelters and did everything they could to shoot down the american planes but the jews that were there, they cheered. they said we did not fear death, at least least

there was a man who came from auschwitz to washington, d.c. and got a job at the famous restaurant one day he had heard that the leader code than they would be addressing people on the mall and they decided to go but he's worked himself but that wouldn't be those that said. they were just like the gestapo and then they said who are you to say that and he showed them the tattoo on his arm and he said i got this in auschwitz. how much did you pay to have it put on? that is when david jumped up on the road and started the riot but he managed to tear off into the police intervened and dragged him off and he was fine. though not seize found out and said we are going to kill you, your wife and children. they said you've suffered enough under the nazis why don't you go downstairs, get back your money and make believe that it never happened. she went for the sense of the appearance and that's when the survivors that i have looked and suffered as a jew and i will die as a jew. and on the way back up to the places for the residents of the visiting event

showed a misstep to it is that i got that in auschwitz. the marines had come your line.ow much did you pay to have it put on? we are going to build bigger and better gas chamber than the nazis ever have. that is when david jaeger jumped over the rope and started the riots. the marine try to poke out his eyes but he managed to tear off the marines gear. even, a policeman and a good, dragged off jagr and he was fined. and the nazis foun found out whe lived and he found out where you live and they found it and they said were going to kill you, your wife and your children get so his friends protected the family while they went back to work, but then he had to go to court. and a judge said to them, mr. jaeger, you have suffered enough under the nazis. why don't you go downstairs, get back your money, we will make believe it never happened. they were ghastly encounters for people who pretended to the gentiles. a woman went from a concentration camp back to poland to see her sister who have been baptized and hidden with the catholic family. and the sister said to her, i was sav

to auschwitz. but at any rate, i was inducted in the army. and to me it was a great relief. and also perhaps a source of pride that i was able to finally do something about this. here we had been literally paralyzed for years, always at the rim of the -- whatever authorities were in charge. and now i was finally able to fight this big evil. and i was in the army and actually never finished basic training before they found out that i had language capability. in those days of course they were looking for german-speaking personnel. and german-speaking personnel no doubt they could trust. so that i was pulled out away from the unit that i had been assigned to in those days and sent to a military intelligence training center in maryland in fact. in which we were assigned to these different jobs of either prisoner of war interrogation or some military government or some other activities. and i wound up with a unit that was charged with prisoner of war interrogation. and we first went on maneuvers. this was in '42. no, this was '43. and later by the end of that summer, we were sent

he was extradited to poland by the commandant of auschwitz.t was an interesting detail, when he arrived in poland they wanted to stone him. you would imagine they would want to stone rudolf hess, because he was more known, but because of his cruelty, the way that he, himself, killed people. the masses wanted to stone him. host: let me show you video. hanged,nd, when he was it was strange to see. here was the end of your grandfather when he was put to death. [video clip] [no audio] host: we are not going to show the last part where he was actually hanged. i'm sure you have seen that before. what was your reaction? ms. teege: i saw the execution hours after i discovered the biography of my mother in the library, so i was already in shocked. i did not expect it would not work out. ira member sitting in front of remember sitting in front of the tv. cry orot know whether to because i was sad but this was not real.that was i know something today -- whether this is just something invented, but historians tried to figure out whether this was really my

firsthand account of a survivor of auschwitz and the way in which he saw the german, european, if you will, say the sadistic torture of people. humiliating them right to the end without anyone stepping up and saying no one said no. did that enter into your thinking that there was such a recent history in the human experience that made you wonder do the jewish people have to look out for themselves? >> chris, my dad came to this country in 1935 to escape persecution in germany. he succeeded in bringing here his immediate family, but i lost family in the holocaust. and that memory is still very much a part of who i am. and i'm very much aware of the need to be resolute and steadfast in support of israel as well as our other allies in the middle east, that they will need military assets, and i'm determined to fight for them in order to maintain their qualitative edge and also for their survival. and so i'm determined to make some good come of this great to strengthen and improve it. >> i hope you're right. i think you are. senator richard blumenthal of connecticut, thank you so much. who

you said fdr had the opportunity to do something at auschwitz. if he ordered the bombing, wouldn't he have killed a lot of people there and maybe not touched the gas chambers? they were there in barracks. wouldn't he have just added to the killing? that wouldn't have been the intention. >> it's a tough call whether to bomb or not bomb. i think what's safe to say, and if we look at two other things that happened, one the raf shortly before the calls to bomb auschwitz came up, they carried out a bold strike which they bombed a prison and they freed several hundred raf fighters. >> where did they go? >> a number of them were killed in the strike. a number of them flew off into the woods and went to freedom. i think it was a symbolism of that that was so galvanizing. >> everyone needs to read this book. i think fdr is one of the greatest presidents we ever had. >> i couldn't agree more. he was a great leader. >> i think he was pro-jewish. >> absolutely. >> anyway. if that's the right word. thank you. you're a great writer. another great book by jay w

they have one on auschwitz. they're trying to make this a broader human story. this was done in 1968. the title is floating lanterns. if you go to hiroshima, as i do with my students, we participate in the evening of august 6th. we participate every year in what's called the floating lantern ceremony in the river there. the river is very symbolically important because so many of the people jump in the river in order to try to escape the flames or to cool their bodies if they've been badly burned and many of them died. all of these descriptions of it is river that night was that it was just a sea of floating corpses. and what the people did in hiroshima to commemorate is they hold the lantern ceremony every year and were now able to participate. it's no longer restricted to the families of the victims. so what you do is you make a paper lantern. you put a candle inside. on the lantern, you write a mess aenl of peace or anything you'd like to write. then you go down, you take the turn, you get the long line that runs around. and you put your floating lantern into
