What a lovely human being. After all he has been through he remained a decent and good hearted man

Wow I'm so glad that they were able to recover their stuff. How amazing! So it was kinda a blessing in disguise. And I'm also glad to hear that the Czech officer went with his mother to confront the man who kept their stuff. That in itself was a blessing cuz most of the time nobody cared to defend a Jew. That's why now I stand with Israel. More importantly the Jewish people! They are to be protected and defended against antisemitism and hatred. We cannot allow for something like the Holocaust to ever happen again. 🇺🇲🇮🇱

Hearing some stories here, knowing some of my family ways of past, and wish I did know more as some feels it helps me know some of the locations and now, changes possibly told yet time, location I wish I could know more. Thank you, as all, for sharing as well showing, such strong, genuine spirited souls whom have survived and thrived after such past experiences...blessings and peace to all.

What an absolutely amazing interview. It's unimaginable the horrors this man has lived through... I'm so happy that he not only survived, but has the strength to talk about the terrors he went through.

I wish more people were aware of what happened during that time, so it may never happen again.

Не е смешно. Цялото ми уважение към г-н Лев и всички загинали и всички пострадали. Но въпроса на дамата "Украйнците каква храна ви дадоха ?" нагледно как се пренаписва история. Пълна пародия. Пълна гротеска.
Привет от България на фондацията. Прослушвам редовно качваните на канала зиписи от оцелелите. Не ми допада когато последните години интервюираните оцелели вместо да разкажат само своите спомени, усещания, започват лекция по история. Която много често и бъркат. И не само. В интервюто с г-н Лев например несъзнателно доста обиди чешкия език с коментара си за думата за сладолед. И т.н. Като дете съм сигурна че с голям кеф го е хапнал след като са му изввадили сливицата и не е мислил че е "кошмарно звучаща дума".
Но често итервюиращите са под всяка критика. За голямо съжаление. Особено за записите от 90-- те, тъй като тогава са споделили предимно по- големи свидетели на 1933-1945, съответно с впечатления и информация от първо лице, съответно къде, къде по-информативни. За разлика от записаните последните години.
