Lydia Reich- Surviving Hitler's Intention

from Brent Holland Show

Lydia Reich was just a young girl when she encountered Hitler’s “final solution”. In the interview she refers several times to a “wagon”, what she is referring to of course is a train box car. This isn’t a movie folks, this happened. For real.She grew up in the 1930s in Germany; she was ripped from the arms of her mother, virtually, and taken to a slave labour camp. Later, forced on a death march to Bergen-Belsen. It is winter as I write this in Canada. It is freezing outside. They only way to stay warm in the huts at night was for one girl to sleep on top of the other one night and the next night it would be the other’s turn. No blankets, no sanitation, no hope. How many of us would have the drive to live under those conditions. Lydia Reich told me during the interview the sole motivation for her staying alive was an inner voice that told her to survive in order to tell her story. Desperation: Surviving Hitler's Intention is that story.
