Holocaust Survivor Leo Schenker Full Testimony | USC Shoah Foundation

He was handsome and looked incredible to be 70 years old. Especially knowing what he endured. May his souls rest peacefully. He lived a long life.

He is so compelling. The interviewer is a deadbeat!

Why spell his name? Is this an interrogation or interview ?
Interviewer sucks. Should've just let him tell his story instead of asking dumb questions.

Wonderful man. Inspiring story. Resulience and bravery. Impossily ignorant interviewer. Her questions are uninformed and careless. Every time she asked.."how did you feel"? I cringed. ... He was incredibly polite to her. What a polite educated man.

What a beautiful man ❤️

I was fine until his family came out. They're all so wonderful and now I'm crying😭

This interviewer and some of the questions are not up to parr

Incredible man, he suffered so much ,he then made a career .a beautiful family❤

You think you have problems? Think again

How do you have the guts to join the German army? Just amazing story.

I think he has a nice pretty mouth❤

For an older man he's quite handsome

My dad fought the Japanese. They were like the Germans. Both countries were trying to take over

По глазам видно что пережил страшное.

What an articulate and handsome man

It had to take incredible fortitude to have survived this. The stress of always having to think ahead in a constant state of terror, to monitor your every move, word, look and to be able to shut down your mind just to get through your visions of disbelief while preserving your physical health. Not many of us would have endured it.

ALL these people are heroes. There is a deep lesson for all viewers to learn from this because it is only in our daily actions of love and understanding toward all other mankind that this catastrophe of humanity can ever be prevented from happening again.

The interviewer sounds like she is napping through the interview.

What a fine man.

Dignified man, terrible interviewer.

Charming man. Unfortunately the interviewer was completely inept.

You ever notice the unusually long age these people live.

Mr.Leon died in 2019.

I am watching this in bits, but I don’t understand why he was afraid to go see the doctor. Was it because he was circumcised?

Pity the volume is so low. Unable to watch

Well I am glad I took the time to hear his story and have a little peep into his life...Thanks

I was asked many times if I was Jewish, but I’m French-Canadian…dark hair can be confusing to people.

Never forget that the Holocaust, the greatest evil in human history, was caused by science: the science of Eugenics.

We should not place our trust in scientists, not at all, because when science is wrong, it causes the greatest evil in human history.

Be SCEPTICAL of science, especially psychology.

Que emocionante e comovente história . Infelizmente penso que seu irmão foi fuzilado comon judeu e não como um soldado alemão doente.

RIP good sir...... “Lest We Forget”

His working for the German army was very well handled and I found somewhat amusing. Also, his work in dealing with travel documents seamed almost cheeky. Perfect survival cover. Earlier on, when he hid in the train toilet and managed to get out quickly was very slick. He could have been caught so easily as the toilet was checked almost immediately.

He is amazingly strong to have not suffered from nightmares. Praise God!!

His survival story is particularly interesting because he had to infiltrate the German/nazis to survive. It is heartbreaking what happened to his brother. I wonder if he had the nervous breakdown because he was being forced to do something evil to his fellow Jew. God rest his soul. ...and all of the souls of the millions who were tortured and murdered.

Imagine going from a happy life and state of great security to insecurity and fear.

Thank you for recording these testimonies.

Such a kind caring man I could listen to his voice all night

This guyialey

Bravo

It took a strong mind like his to keep on going on to survived when all looked so helpless

Poor man, his son lacks greatly in empathy, sympathy or the ability to relate, or to even articulate. His son's wife looks distressed at his lack of articulation and understanding. I was disappointed in this mans son. What a let down. His son does look like his brother that didn't survive.

Smart man and kind soul. Such a fine man! RIP for your family and glad you lived till 95 after everything you went thrugh. Shalom Leo Schenker, God bless you!!! ❤️😔💋🇮🇱🇪🇸

I got teary eyed when he spoke of his brother and said the best don't always survive

This man is so right.... you don't know hunger until you've been hungry. You don't know fear.... I listen to holocaust testimonies and altho I can hear what they're saying, I still can't realize what they're saying. It's hard to explain but its so hard to visualize the horrors these ppl experienced.

my father fought in North Africa and the battle of Anzio. He said that the British brought him from the usa to help them with the tea serving in North Africa.

I don't like the interviewer!! He is wonderful!

So sorry for his passing (RIP)
He spoke very well and listening to him made me feel much sadness…
Thank you for sharing your story Leo
God bless you

What this gentleman’s (gentleman in the English sense of the word) daughter-in-law says is exactly it that one can read about the holocaust but this way of taking the person back to childhood and then talking and unfolding all the detail makes the dreadful situations live. I always hate it when they speak of their happy family upbringing and then their parents and little siblings are treated like sticks for the fire. Evil is frightening and blacker than black. So glad he took the trouble to do what must have been an exhausting interview mentally, emotionally and physically. Thank you to all who have done this for us.

Thank you sir for talking about this horrible period in your life. I’m so sorry he was in Munich for the Olympics at that time - we cannot even imagine the visions that must have invoked - and with a child. A kind person said that he has passed at age 97, blessings to you sir and may G- D bless your wonderful family. You have left a beautiful testimony to your parents in them. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

All of the people who have given their testimonies of their history on this channel are so dignified and well spoken and sharp as a tack even in their advanced ages. I hope to be like them when I'm their age.
