Survivor...

Yes. I did. My grandparents both are concentration camp survivors. And i have been hearing their stories about the holocaust all of my life. I do know alote of concentration camp survivors. You see i live in israel, and alote of the jewish people that has survived the holocaust are actually are grandparents.

I never knew or met a concentration camp survivor but I'm sure they went thru hell and back. I do know alot of the survivors were never the same. Some ended up in group homes cause they were unable to take care of themselves cause of what they witnessed/went thru, their minds just went beserk, so-to-speak. It's sad that they survived but only to become prisoners of themselves.

I've actually never met a concentration camp survivor. I've read several books on the camps, and what they went through, but i've never had the chance to speak with one. And if i did, i probably wouldn't bring it up. Some memories are too painful to be brought to the surface this much later in life.

No, but I would be very interested in meeting one. The Holocaust has always been of great interest to me, and I think it would be very interesting to talk to a survivor. Also very sad of course. But I would like to hear it from someone who actually went through it, the poor soul.

Yes, once, but I was very young and don't remember much. Most of what I got from a first hand experience with the concentration camps, was reading Corrie ten Boom's books and watching speeches she made.

I am not sure about concentration camp survivor but I do know of someone that survived the japanese camps. The public were lead to believe that the japanese people were comfortable and being "protected" by the government but that was not so. He is a born american citizen born of japanese decent and was sent to that camp.

I had the pleasure of working at a local Jewish Community Council and through that I met many survivors. One lady and her husband in particular had written a couple books on her life, one was a children's book. It was the most touching and well put version of those horrible days you could ever read. She gave each of my kids a signed copy but unfortunately we had a flood at our house and all the books were ruined. It broke our hearts. I also had the ability to go through the museum in Washington, again through the JCC I worked for, and I have to tell you there is NOTHING in this world that can prepare you for the reality of the entire experience. To even try to find the words to explain the emotions would be worthless, as there are no words strong enough. If anyone ever gets the chance this is a place you must visit.

When I was a little boy I think I met several servivors of Nazi concentration camps. I have not yet had the opportunity to meet ant one who is a survivor of the CIA concentration camps in eastern Europe.

I think did once when I was in high school. I think it was around grade 7 or 8. He was one of our teachers and when the subject of concentration camps and the Jews came up, he was very emotional. That was over forty-five years ago.

Many years ago I worked in a large office on the switchboard. I was introduced to a lady who was joing the firm and I was asked to train her on the use of the switchboard. She always wore long sleeved tops, even in the heat of summer and although I was curious I felt I couldn't really ask her why until one day she came into the office and her left sleeve was partially raised. I saw a number and a letter tattooed on her arm and I knew immediately she had been in a concentration camp. I never said a word though, she was entitled to her privacy.

Dear howard98h, I think that its depend on person itself so you couldn't determine,
