The moment when he greeted his grandfather’s friend was moving. You could see the authenticity and humanity shine out of him.

He sounds so different off the TV, his voice sounds completely different, sounds like he has a German twang, but on TV he sounds very London. I adore Robert anyway but you can see his soul on display here, just loving, wanting to help people <3 Rob if you ever read this know so many love you and this was a beautiful, emotional video. I'm sorry your grandfather went through so much pain.

We need to make sure our youth are knowledgeable about our history. Never forget.

Do not forget. Even if your immediate family did not experience the horror of this war. Do not forget the stories. This will happen again if you say, oh that can't happen now... It can. It will if you forget...

My mother lived through this awful time in history and the stories she tells is so stories of the German soldiers coming into the village she lived in....so sad....God Bless

Firstly, Rob Rinder is an amazing human being. Secondly, as a history teacher, we must never forget what depravity and brutality human beings can inflict on others. However, we are also capable of great kindness and great love. Rob, I’m so sad your family suffered this great cruelty! As for the Lake District, I met a survivor who settled in to living there. His story was beyond heartbreaking. His entire family were dead. But he married, had children, was so thrilled to have settled in to the beautiful Lakes. I cried like I would never stop. We must never forget!

It’s so heartbreaking and humbling to think of what all these people went through. God bless you! How can people deny that this happened?

Judge rinder is such a beautiful soul, bless his heart..

[MsSmudge]

I admire him very much, from his dedication in studying seven years to be a Barrister, his intelligence, to his humor and beautiful accent. His grandfather would be very proud of what he has made of himself.

Love watching Judge Rinder's YouTube vids, I had no idea he had such a moving family past.

[varidian]

I get emotional when I talk about my gran dying peacefully at home by my side

I can’t even imagine what it must be like for someone to be telling you “this is what happened to your grandfather here”

[ronnie-lynn]

Bless that sweet mans heart! And sharing his story of what he lived through.

[dukethekiddjr.russell]

I just started watching his show. I'm impressed and now I am very aware of his humanity. You all are blessed to have such a good man.

I am in the US. I had never heard of Judge Rinder. I think now I am pretty much in love with him.

[ttyngordon]

Listening to the stories of those before us that have suffered through so much. You gain so much respect for these people. You must never forget.

I love Judge Rinder. He's such a kind soul.

This sounds so much like my grandmother’s story. It is so hard to hear and so important to tell.
