@clintonearlwalker yes, I understand that it is a hard to talk about these terrible things.

This is very traumatic things that people have gone through. But it is not just for those who have been in concentration camps. It affects all people on earth. I'm not jew birth, but I've been so depressed by what these people have gone through. Which suffering. Holocaust is truly a fact. It happened!

Keep in mind that you are digging up a very difficult period in many of these peoples lives. Almost no one from Poland is willing to talk about these things over the internet. Nearly every survivor I've ever talked to lost most of their family, usually 5 or more close family members. It's no wonder most of them don't want to talk about it.
