Transcript
I know of course; it's simply luck
That I've survived so many friends. But last night in a dream
I heard those friends say of me: 'Survival of the fittest'
And I hated myself.
-- Bertolt Brecht, Playwright
Family life was great. Outside the family, it was not so good. You were insulted in the street many times. You were called "dirty Jew." Things like that. For several years I did have Gentile girlfriends and, of course, under the pressure of the Nazi time they could no longer associate with me, and I would not dare associate with them.
-- Hanne Hirsch Liebmann, Holocaust Survivor
And every day thousands and thousands died just from malnutrition because the Germans didn't give anything for the people in the ghetto to eat. There was no such thing. You can't walk in and buy anything, or getting any rations. It's your hard luck. If you don't have it, you die, and that's what it was.
-- Abraham Lewent, Holocaust Survivor
Auschwitz was a terrible, terrible experience for anybody that went through it. It is terrible to live with no hope and, at times, we absolutely had no hope. But, on the other hand, surviving and looking back, I can see that, in spite of the fact that there was no hope, there's always some hope. [...] But somehow, as I said, on the bottom of it, you just cannot take away hope from a person because, in every terrible circumstance, you always have to try to find something that is right.
-- Naomi Warren, Holocaust Survivor
