The opening of this shiur, in Living Lchaim’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
they came in and they demanded that we pack up some personal items and that they're taking us to a holding station a way station before they would take us to another labor camp my mother immediately courageously almost crazily told them we're not leaving with you it is Shabbos they knew what Shabbos was we do not travel on shop in a car or in a truck or go anywhere Shoppers we are at truck or go anywhere Shoppers we are at home they were flabbergasted they couldn't believe it welcome back to another very special episode of inspiration of the nation in this week's episode I got to sit down with someone who went through the Holocaust but I don't know if I've ever met someone who remembers it so vividly he's around seven eight years old when it happened and he just clearly conveys his story what happened to him and any Holocaust Survivor has a story how they survived how they didn't give up and just went on to build beautiful lives so this episode is very special and very you'll hear me is very special and very you'll hear me asking about his accent or lack of his accent it was it was actually very easy to hear and understand him um it was a special episode and this episode is especially because um this past summer I went to a my father's first cousin Alan linger Oliver Shalom we were going to say goodbye to him and um he passed away and something that he wanted to do he was a child born in a DP camp and he wanted to educate the world
