THE AUSCHWITZ DEATH CAMP ARE
SHOWING RESPECT FOR THE VICTIMS
OF THE HOLOCAUST, THE 6 MILLION
JEWS WHO WERE MURDERED DURING
THE HOLOCAUST.
ABOUT HALF OF THEM LIVE IN
POLAND.
THANKFULLY THERE ARE STILL A
NUMBER OF SURVIVORS ABLE TO
SHARE THEIR STORIES WITH
YOUNGER GENERATION.
WE WERE PRIVILEGED TO BE
INVITED TO A RECENT CLASS AND
WE SHOULD MENTION THAT SOME OF
WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE MAY
BE INAPPROPRIATE FOR YOUNGER
VIEWERS.
6 MILLION WERE MURDERED.
STACY STANLEY WAS SPARED FROM
HOLOCAUST ATROCITIES BUT
TEACHING ABOUT IT HAS BECOME A
CALLING.
I JUST LIKE THAT WAS
SOMETHING I HAD TO DO BECAUSE,
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HOLOCAUST
SURVIVORS ARE NO LONGER HERE TO
TELL THE STORY?
SOMEBODY HAS TO DO IT.
SHE SHOWED HER STUDENTS A
SHORT FILM, BUT IN THE QUARTERS
IT'S A SPECIAL GUEST.
AN ELDERLY MAN WHO DOES NEED TO
WATCH A MOVIE BECAUSE HE LIVED
IT.
SO WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN HERE,
I WENT THROUGH.
AND HE WAS ALMOST 20 IN THE
NAME OF POLAND.
HE HIS PARENTS, THREE SISTERS
AND ALL THE JEWISH FRIENDS AND
NEIGHBORS WERE IMPRISONED AT
FIRST IN THE CRAMPED, WALDEN
VISION VILLAGES KNOWN AS THE
JEWISH GHETTOS.
I AM WALKING, AND AS I WALK
A LITTLE FURTHER, I AM GRABBED
BY A TERM IN [NULL]
-- GERMAN [NULL]
AND PULLED OUT OF THE LINE.
THIS IS THE LAST TIME THAT I
HAD SEEN MY FAMILY.
CARDED LIKE ANIMALS TO
CONCENTRATION CAMPS ALL OVER
EASTERN EUROPE, THE SEVENTH
GRADERS COULD NOT HAVE BEEN
PREPARED FOR WHAT CAME NEXT IN
HIS STORY.
WHEN I CAME INTO AUSCHWITZ,
THE CHASED ME OUT OF THE TRINA,
AND ALL I KNEW WAS I SMELLED
THIS BAD SMELL OF DEAD BODIES.
AND THEN WHEN I LOOKED UP IN
OSHAWA, THERE WERE FOUR HUGE
CHIMNEYS, AND ON TOP OF THEM,
FIRE CAME OUT.
NO SMOKE.
STACY CHECKS TO MAKE SURE THE
KIDS ARE OKAY, AND TELLS THEM
THAT IN HEARING DIRECTLY FROM
JULIUS, THEY ARE NOW ALL
WITNESSES WITH A DUTY TO SHARE
WITH A HAVE LEARNED.
I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE.
BUT IT LOOKS LIKE, SOMETHING UP
THERE, MAYBE IN THE SKY, MADE
IT SO THAT I COULD TALK AND
EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED TO SO
MANY PEOPLE.
I SHOWED JULIUS PHOTOS OF
SOME OF THE MANY ITEMS THAT HE
HAS DONATED TO THE FROM THE
COLLECTION OF THE US HOLOCAUST
MEMORIAL MUSEUM IN WASHINGTON.
I ASKED FOR SOME KIND OF
IDENTIFICATION, I HAVE NOTHING.
THIS IS YOUR BIRTHDAY,
OCTOBER OCTOBER 15, 1919.
YES.
AND THEN THERE IS THIS, A
PICTURE OF HIS LIBERATION.
JULIUS EISENSTEIN, DEADLY ONE
OF THE STREAKING NUMBERS OF
SURVIVOR STILL HERE TO TELL HIS
STORY.
WHEN I GO, WHEN THE OTHER
HOLOCAUST PEOPLE GO, WE HAD
SOMEBODY WHO IS GOING TO BE
ABLE TO TAKE OVER, AND MAKE
SURE THAT THE WORLD DOES NOT
FORGET WHAT HAPPENS TO US.
FOR THE NORMAL HUMAN BEING,
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPREHEND.
THE CRUELTY IS BEYOND ANY
EXPLANATION, WHAT THEY DID.
JULIUS HAS SHARED HIS STORY
MANY TIMES BUT, IT IS A VERY
SHORT VERSION OF THE STORY.
I LOOK AT JULIUS AND I WONDER,
WHAT HAS JULIUS SCENE.
WE CAN'T KNOW WHAT ALL THAT
WE CAN KNOW ENOUGH, ENOUGH TO
LEARN THE LESSON, NEVER AGAIN
JULIUS ENDS BY SHOWING THE KIDS
THE ONE OUTWARD SCAR THAT HE
STILL BEARS.
THE IDENTIFICATION TATTOO THAT
THE NAZIS CARVED INTO THE FORMS
OF ALL THEIR VICTIMS.
AND THEN, A PHOTO.
SURVIVOR AND STUDENTS.
OUR THANKS TO JULIUS AND
STACY IN THE US HOLOCAUST
MEMORIAL MUSEUM IN WASHINGTON
DC WHICH IS HAVING A SPECIAL
