Summary #2- LeChunda Duncan

The second video clip I watched was on Ursula Levy. She was born and raised in Germany. She had a brother. She didn't remember growing up with holidays. Her father and uncle had injuries in their knees, and caught gangrene after the war and the both died shortly within months of each other. She and her brother were taken away from their mother after their father died. They moved to this town of Catholics, where this family took them in and took very well care of them physically and educationally.She talked about how the Germans had a Nazi mayor. They eventually had to be sent to camps because of them being Jewish and they moved into a ghetto where they lived for a while. Not after too long, Ursula was devistated because her and her brother were separated. I think one of the reasons she was able to stay alive was because of the help of the Dutchman, who I thought was very kind, who pretty much manipulated the Nazi's into believing that she was not full Jewish because of different visible, physical aspects of her body, like her skin and eye color. Therefore keeping her from going to death camps that other Jews were sent to. The Dutchman also reunited her to her brother. She is a very strong-willed person and has excellent memory of these exact time periods. She also talks about her life in the United States after the war. She talks about her she is neither ashamed nor feels guilty about being a Holocaust Survivor. She mentions that from watching this clip and from other survivors speaking on their stories, she hopes that the new generations realize that the hatred has to stop.
