I literally shed tears each time I see a survivor or hear their stories of survival. I had relatives who couldn't escape their region fast enough and went into camps and never came out. Thankfully, most of our family immigrated before Nazism took control. And we survived.
Don't paint all Muslims with the same brush. Without a doubt the form of Islam that Saudi Arabia is sponsoring (Wahhabism) and by the Taliban as well as that spread by Iran is violent and repressive. But many muslims practice a benign form of Islam called Sufism and embrace Christians and Jews.
May we remember Joe Engel's words and refuse to accept those who persecute us for being Jews.
forgiveness is the only answer. I am a Jew with many Muslim friends. They are children of Abraham aswell and the way we treat each other reflects on how God will treat us. Think about it. We are family.
Anything I can say is wholly inadequate, but thank you Mr Engel. As for the murderers and those who seek to defend them, may their names be blotted out and may the innocents be avenged.
If you look at the wooden doors of the supposed "gas chambers"
they are clearly not airtight, with gaps underneath and above.
Contrast this with the doors of real gas chambers used in executions at American prisons, and notice that the American real gas chambers look as airtight as submarine doors.
My heart goes out to the people like Joe Engel who endured such horrors in the holocaust. How anyone could have survived such a nightmare, I cannot imagine. What courage in the face of unimaginable odds! The rest of us will never truly understand. Let us all hope that there will never again be such a dark period in humanity's history.
Please educate yourselves!!! don't believe in this huge lie of Islam being a religion of peace and that there's "moderate" muslims, there's no such a thing!!! What it is, is that muslims who live in the west specially in north america greatly have abandoned their beliefs but as soon as the radical ones take over they will be as bad as them!!
Remember what happened in the Ottoman empire with the armenians,armenian people could believe that their neighbours had changed
Thank you, Engel family, for making this movie, and especially to Joe Engel, who survived three years in the most hellacious place on earth. Thank you for sharing your story. You are one of the strongest people the world has ever produced. May the blood of all the lives lost be avenged.
In this time, they tried to take everything, your identity, your humanity, your life. But there were people who lived, and if that was not enough, they gave back. Thank you Mr. Engel for the gift of your strength, and the gift of your story. This is the proof that if people lived through this, we can get through anything. This, I think, is the gift of the shoah.
Mr. Engel, thank you so much for sharing your incredible story here. My grandmother also came from Poland, but she didn't talk about her life there. Your courage is inspiring. I hope your life since the war has been blessed with good things, you deserve only the best. Shalom.
Thank you for the posting. This gentleman had indomitable courage to survive the Shoah. The flesh was weak but the spirit strong. He should be very proud of himself. His tormenters are in an abyss in the depths of hell.

I'm amazed by the strengh of the jewish people.
It takes me back to the bible when it says:
Behold he who keeps Israel neither slumber nor sleeps.
God bless all Israel, I want you people to know that we orthodox christians love you all dearly!!!
We love the house of Abraham ou father!!!
I'm really concerned though cause another enemy is rising sooner rather than later.
Islam is a threat to the jews to the world as whole and I don't see jewish involvement in the fight against this demonic

Where is that square outside? Seems to be some sort of memorial, looks like a sculpture on the ground but I couldn't make out what it was.
