Ivor Perl, one of the Holocaust’s last living survivors, was just 12 years old when he was taken to the notorious concentration camp, Auschwitz. Decades later, he returned to Auschwitz, now a museum and memorial, with his daughter as she encouraged him to confront the trauma of his past.

In this scene from “The Last Survivors,” Perl and other Holocaust survivors recount how they are haunted by what they saw at Auschwitz, and they continue to wrestle with questions that can never be answered.

When I see modern-day factory farming, and the realities of consuming animals, the holocaust seems trivial. We are not biased, you see.
And now Israel is starving Gaza to death, shameful
The image at 3:14 is meaningful. The survivor, sitting on a bench, watching modern tourists walk through clean halls looking through clean panes of glass at the absolute Hell he had to endure. It’s just not the same. I wouldn’t know how to feel. I also did not like how his family member pushed him to enter the building. He’s been through it before. Do not force him to enter again. It was cruel to me
Hmm… why is it we never hear from Gulag survivors? Mao or Pol Pot camp survivors? Why is it we never hear from non-jewish holocaust survivors either who were a majority of prisoners?
I love Herman his lost little brother 🙁 Herman is in many hearts that have watch this. We will all be together in heaven. You will see Herman again. He was in the arms of Jesus safe. Anybody who is persecuted for his namesake. That's why Jesus has a special place for his favorite chosen people. He allowed it to happen because of Man's Free Will. But he is going to have Justice. Vengeance is mine saith the Lord. Those people probably hurt so bad still. I never met such sweet people as I did watching this video. I've taken care of people that were old and Jewish and I never knew what they lived through. But I'm glad when I would go in there rooms and help them and give them things. No one should live in a nursing home especially people who survived the Holocaust
Holocaust survivors have told their stories before…and they must keep telling it…we must never forget because Jews are still persecuted…there are Hitlers living amongst us
Kids wishing other people to die so there would be more space for them. Damn
Sooo what did women do on their periods ? Or did they stop having them due to being malnourished
What persons give this video 8 dislikes? After all the attention given to the 2020 elections, we forget this kind of history…
We need to remind these bigots that hate will be dealt with the same violence that they deliver to the good people of this world.
Thank you, Frontline, for doing this. I fear that as this generation passes away, it will become more easy for revisionists and deniers to either minimize the Holocaust or simply maintain that it didn't happen. We're seeing that now, God forgive us….
