Auschwitz Holocaust Survivors


Monday night, after our return from Jordan, we walked to Christ Church in the Old City to meet & listen to Esther Mannheim and Yehudith Kriegel, surviving sisters of Aushwitz. Their mother was murdered during the "shoa" and their dignity was completely taken away from them . . . but only temporarily as these two ladies, in their eighties, told their story so eloquently. They spoke in Hebrew, and one of the members of Christ Church translated in English. I don't have their entire testimony, but I did record Esther's comments at the end. She said that she & Yehudith are privileged to speak for those whose voices were shut . . .
