As a child, I walked through Dachau. I met survivors and listened to their stories. That’s why it's so important for me to share what I remember so the lies spread today don't overcome the truth.
18 years ago, my then 13-yo daughter was critically ill and spent 63 days in the ICU. At a follow-up appointment with the neuro-opthamologist to determine how the illness impacted her vision, I was asked by a woman in the waiting room about my daughter's situation, which included medical trauma. This incredible woman, Jaffa Munk, came and put her hand on my daughter's arm and said "Molly, I was in the concentration camps, I lost my father, my mother, my whole family. They took everything, but they couldn't take my spirit. Whatever they do, whatever happens, they can't take your spirit, always remember that."
That profound message had a huge impact on my daughter and me, too, and definitely helped my daughter maintain perspective about her situation.
That's amazing. Wow. All these stories that are recorded and kept are so important. And it's amazing how just a few words in passing can change a person's life. I am so touched by this, thank you.
Beautifully written! I'm Jewish and decided I wanted to go to Auschwitz. It is seared on my brain. I still have nightmares about it. I can't imagine how anyone survived that horror. The Holocaust deniers are damaged individuals with whom I refuse to engage. Also in this day and age some ppl will say anything for attention. We must never forget what happened and posts like yours remind us in a way that is both brutally honest yet uplifting. Thanks for posting. Sabrinalabow.substack.com
Then, show that every single person in the planet should be suing Pfizer and Moderna for deliberately hiding human DNA in their vacicnes, and Pfizer, for injecting an undisclosed carcinogenic monkey virus (SV40) sequence into the cell nucleus of the clueless biohacked, as officially recognized by Health Canada !!!
If he doesn’t like the topic, I’d show this video (all you need is 10 secs in the middle, who doesn’t have 10 seconds for you):

9/11: two "planes", yet the third tower (WTC7) imploded, free falling on its footprint like in a controlled demolition. It was out of reach, and all 7 World Trade Center towers needed to be rebuilt, not the closer towers not belonging to World Trade Center... and the “owner” took an insurance policy for the WTC against terrorism, just months before, when no one was taking them … he didn’t show up for work precisely on 9/11 … just as his 2 grown up siblings (they never skipped work before). The inside information about the FUTURE 9/11 event helped masons make trillions by shorting the stock exchange: the records were deleted by the SEC so they wouldn't be prosecuted !!!
Please watch all of this! Your life depends on it, because there's a plan to murder 95% of the global population by 2050… written on the masonic Georgia guide-stones: “Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 … ”:
- J6: The false flag operation of the fake riot was planned, incited and guided by FBI agents, who broke into the Capitol !!! The same mason-plot was copy-pasted to disband the insurrection against the stolen elections in Brazil! All intel agencies (CIA, FBI, NSA) were founded by masons and are run by them for their own nefarious goals.
All political parties are compromised/infiltrated. For example, Italy supports vax pass and WHO Pandemic Treaty !!! Meloni's Government! People voted her for being against that!
- At least since the 90s, vaccines are weaponized to reduce the population, for example:
1. Adding hCG to infertilize women: lab detected in 30 countries
2. Overpassing the FDA 10 ng limit to human DNA “contamination” by 2000%, thus causing neuro-damage (autism, asperger, tics, dyslexia in 29% of kids, etc.) and childhood cancer epidemic (n.b. leukemia, non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas)
- Their main source of power apart from sin-empowered demons? NOT a coincidence that the USA left dollar convertibility to gold in 1971, precisely triggering the exponential government deficit coupled with the trade deficit and inflation.
This is the Achilles’ heel of all nations: masonic and satanic secret societies counterfeit paper money and launder trillions with which they buy Banks, seats in the Federal Reserve (the only private run Central Bank in the world), political careers and parties, puppeticians, listed corporations, media, healthcare corporations and organizations, universities, foundations, judges, etc.:
1. Create an easy system for real money: private currencies/warrants based on real assets, goods, services, etc. (gold, corn, oil, distance/volume/weight transportation, labor human hour/minute, etc.)
2. Ban legal tender. Let the free markets decide which real-currencies/valuables/warrants they prefer to trade with
3. Ban paper-backed currencies (unlike real-backed ones of point 1.)
4. Enforce a Legal Banking Reserve of 100% of deposits (so banks don't create money based on air) and therefore there's no excuse for a Central Bank, because there would be no risk of bank-runs since all their loans are fully backed with deposits
President John Quincy Adams: “Masonry ought forever to be abolished. It is wrong - essentially wrong - a seed of evil, which can never produce any good.”
If you are a mason or know a mason, ask him to ask his 33° master to put in writing and sign it, who is "the great architect" and that he is not Lucifer. If he refuses, then he’ll know who he is really serving, Satan: tell him to get out of masonry NOW. Sooner or later he’ll be required to trample on a cross to get to a higher degree.
Confessions of a former mason (Serge Abad-Gallardo):
I am equally moved by the stories of the holocaust and could never understand what went through the minds of all those who participated, or looked away.....I think it runs deeper than" they thought they were doing the right thing..." there is a willful blindness and a kind of madness , that besets the phsyche of a nation, fuelled by propaganda and lies....as a christian , I believe , we should " do unto others as we would have done unto us ".....given all the wars and murder of innocents in todays world , I think what we lack in humanity is that kind of empathy that Jesus taught us.....🙏

What a well written, poignant comparison. Thank you Karen.
I’m glad you brought up the nuns and the opposite side of human nature from the brutal, murderous side. I needed that reminder today, that there really are good, caring people to contrast the horrors of human nature.
Today a friend sent me an old BBC video about the 10 million German men, women and children that were tortured and murdered in 1945 in retaliation. I’ll post it at the end if you want to see it. It made me question humanity as a whole. That nobody learned from the horrors of what happened and just perpetuated the horror under a different banner.
Like the Jews, and the others that are never mentioned who died alongside the Jews, they died horrific deaths and suffered horrific torture.
I think your story really does contrast Heaven and Hell right here on earth and how horrific or beautiful human nature can be.
I also think that there are some people that happen to be Jewish (ie: George Soros who betrayed fellow Jews for the Nazis without remorse to this day) and that these people can give Jews a bad name, yet they are not representative of the Jewish people nor do they have any concept of God They should be thought of the same as any other evil person of any ethnicity or religion.
It is so disheartening that people will persecute an entire race for the crimes of a few. I think that might be why what you see is happening, I can’t be sure, but perhaps?
Who can comprehend the mind of humans?
I hope this makes sense to you? I don’t diminish those who have genuinely suffered, I just add that there are so many more and it makes me feel despair for the human race.
I try to ask others to distinguish the difference between the Palestine people and Hamas, between the Jews like Soros and their neighbor that is just an ordinary person like them, between a Nazi and an innocent child that doesn’t even understand any of it.
Why do humans insist on making things black and white? That a “race” or “religion” is all good or all bad?
Why is it so difficult to judge each for their own actions?
I read somewhere that Jesus was the first one to introduce that idea into history, I don’t know if that is true, but what a concept.
I'm glad the essay spoke to you. Although it was a tough subject, I wanted to convey that there is always good and there is always hope. Certainly winning the war didn't end the evil. As I said, it just moves around. I have some beautiful words from Richard Wurmbrand who I had the honor of meeting at our home when I was a child. I should share his thoughts in an essay about finding joy in the midst of the horrors of prison.
For Christians, we understand that the Jews are God's chosen people and God watches over them. If Satan can succeed in killing them all then God is proved to be a liar. It's a battle between good and evil. More complex than what I can put here. But if we see that it's a spiritual battle, that's the only way to make sense of it all. At least for me Even still, it's hard for us to understand.
A visit to Dachau is an experience difficult to place into words. The visitors' center had a huge map of Europe showing the network / web 🕸️ of all the national socialist workers' party camps. The Big camps were used as hubs for satellite facilities. The Horror that the Dachau facility outside Munich was an SS training facility, a 'school' in mass murder, using forced labor and experimental physiology as stepping stones on the 'way' towards their hideous ideological solution.
Lord, have mercy on us. Never forget!
I believe that the US 45th Infantry were a part of the Allied Forces liberating the camps in the south, 1945. Their museum is in Oklahoma City, USA~ Witnesses.
I once heard that most 'priests' were transferred to the Dachau camp, being removed from the general camp population. Fr Titus Brandsma 🇳🇱was murdered there. Saint Nikolai Velimirovich 🇷🇸survived the camp. 🌐✍🏼
Yes, very difficult to put the experience of visiting Dachau in words.
So many courageous stories. It's a humbling experience to hear them. I don't know if you have heard of Richard Wurmbrand, the Jewish Christian pastor who was in prison in Romania for 14 years. He was a friend of my parents and was a guest in our home when he came to America to testify before Congress. I will never forget him and his wife and son. I've been blessed to meet so many incredible people. They left a lasting impression on me and I do my best to pass those stories on.
Many years ago now, while living in Holland, I watched Claude Lanzmann's landmark documentary on the holocaust, Shoah, and I'm still haunted by some of the first-hand testimonies he captured. That it was broadcast in the United States by PBS over four nights in 1987, would PBS have the guts to show it again today? What we see happening across college campuses tells us how dangerous it is to allow this evil chapter in history to be washed away.
How 'public television' has changed over the years. I very much doubt they would broadcast it now. How wonderful that you could live in Holland. Beautiful country. I was living between London and a village in what was then communist Yugoslavia at that time.
I walked Dachau also. Over the years met a few survivors. Hard to imagine what they went through. Mankind at their worst. I think it is being repeated.
A heart breaking tale that must be told and always remembered. Alice Miller was speaking of the cultural denial that was starting to take place decades ago in Germany. As it is with an individual so it is with human society, it is always better to bring to light and work through something than to deny it ever happened and be doomed to repeat. Thank you for writing this. 🙏🏼
While working in a nursing home after high school, I helped care for a tiny lady with numbers tattooed on her arm. She had been at Dacchau as a young girl. She was no longer able to speak due to a stroke but she smiled often and her eyes sparkled. I always wondered how anyone who had lived through Dacchau could have ever smiled again. I still think of her often even after all these years. Thank you for this beautifully written account. It honestly brought tears to my eyes.
Karen, this is so movin' an' bee-u-tee-ful, my eyes welled up I gotta say. Bless you!
An' first--a happy Pesach to you! The tradition is to invite friends an' all who are hungry--neighbors, friends--not just "chews!" to share the meal an' the stories. You'd be an honored guest at our table! An' the tale told is a story of survival under circumstances not unlike our own today--as humans!--for we all now are fightin' against slavery under many (many!) tyrants...
Regardin' these survivors--so many did I meet an' know growin' up--but so few people today have ever met one, heard one, or lost (as we did) fambly to the Holocaust. (Outside'a the big cities--like where our transplanted NewYawk fambly is now (talk 'bout city fish outta water!)--there are folks that never met a "chew" so it surprises me not at all that it's easy ta deny something or believe the worst 'bout folks ya never met!) This pop-u-lar denial stuff (along with the Hitler-wuz-right cheers) worries & PAINS ME no end! (I joke about my trigger big toe hurtin' when it rains but lordy when this stuff rains down it hurts even harder!)
When I hear folks call it the "Holohoax" an' say it wuz all hype and didn't happen I'm just 'bout gobsmacked but then I remember how STRONG the media has gotten, everyone online, one voice--easy ta "steer cattle" (even givin' 'em a bum steer!).
Eisenhower said (this from a much longer letter):
"The visual evidence and the verbal testimony of starvation, cruelty and bestiality were so overpowering as to leave me a bit sick. In one room, where they were piled up twenty or thirty naked men, killed by starvation, George Patton would not even enter. He said he would get sick if he did so. I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in position to give first-hand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to 'propaganda.' ”
(note: some have shortened this to a "get it all on record" quote but to my knowledge this one above, in writing, is the real deal. )
Patton had already, as we see, lost his taste fer observin' the truth. He unhelpfully said something to the effect that "we" took the wrong side in the war--seein' the admittedly foul an' degraded state of the Jews--talk 'bout blamin' the victims! -- literally rendered inta bein' "filthy jews" -- I think he used the word disgusting. Some today, like Patton, cannot understand this state wuz not by choice but due ta bein' in the less-than-sanitary conditions, without water, soap, nutrition... etc. Not unlike the pogroms as well--cut off from the water source an' forced ta use dirty wells. My granny made it a pernt to always look impeccable, not a hair outta place, as did her mom an' her mom's mom an' so on--they wore white gloves out, always makeup, a hat, etc. all that---to avoid bein' called "filthy jews" an' it took me until NOW to understand whut she meant--why she decried my blue jeans an' grousin' at wearin' a dress out... b/c today, a lotta folks think Patton wuz right an' wanna mis-remember whut Ike warned....)
An' boy howdy wuz Ike right! (he also foretold the dangers of the milley-terry in-dust-trial complex... another perfect strike as he sawr that bowlin' ball speedin' down the ramp unhindered...)
When I wuz a small fry I took classes -- swim, art, drama--at our local Jewish Center (they were cheap an' quite good!). This wuz back in "ancient times"--the 1970's! an' I remember all the tattoo'd arms I'd see, specially among the older folks that volunteered there. There were the kind oldsters cookin' food, an' servin' an' doin' the cashier thing at the cafeteria that'd give me "a leetle extra" or a piece of taffy because these elders loved all the "kinder." I 'member even younger folks at our temple that had the tattoos too--an' from a young age bein' ssshhed if I wanted ta mention it ta my ma or gran'parents. They knew but it was to be "understood"... Some readers may not know that tattoos are crime against (orthodox) jewish law--obviously NOT those forced on folks--but a tattoo is considered a defacing mark or even a form of idolatry so strong the tattoo'd aren't supposed ta be buried in a chewish cemetery... so the Nazis doin' this was not only defacement but a crime against the faith...
Anywhoo... you always speak up fer women Karen, so I think ya might be moved by this interview by Ilana Rachel Daniel with a brave Iranian woman--now a professor--who escaped Iran at age 15 (after bein' arrested fer wearin' her hijab "improperly" at age 14 even though no skin showed at all!)--an' who talks about Iranian women being supportive of Israel an' (tho' the press won't say it) miserable under the current zealot regime... It's a GREAT interview!
Last but not least, I wanna share a link to a movie made by an ol' friend. I just learned she sadly passed away this week. It's about the last set've twins that Dr. Mengele "experimented on" that survived... an' managed to keep their Jewish faith and "forgive" the crimes of Mengele... I'm gonna watch it this week myself--it won many awards:
Meantimes, I love this story ya tell about the warmth an' kindness of Mother Basilea Schlink--an' her seein' yer artistic talents as a blessin' so many years ahead of time! One of the dear friends of our own fambly when I wuz growin' up was a wonderful painter--she wuz hidden by a Catholic fambly in Germany at age 9--her blonde hair an' blue eyes an' perfect German helped--but that fambly still took a mortal risk "adopting" her, a young jewish girl, an' hiding her 'til after the war. Helen's parents died in the camp--I wonder how painful it felt for them to "give up" their daughter to neighbors, knowin' their own fate... so I'm heartfelt-grateful to the Christian famblies that took those risks--that saved our "dear Helen" -- like the good "Sisters" of Mother Schlink's church.
I dunno where this'll end--but I SO appreciate yer tellin' it like ya saw it--an' so bee-u-tif-FULLY too!

It's good to hear it from someone who saw that place and talked to those people.
You're welcome 🙏
We haven't learned anything. History is repeating itself, but now it's a global gulag.
What’s your best way to wake-up those who don’t want to open their eyes?
Please share your most effective wake-up strategies.
The more the awakened, the sooner this nightmare will be over!
The most effective strategy is asking about the person’s opinion on some of these topics:
I start with the 20 million dollar question, while showing videos of baby seizures (money or babies always get attention):

If the person doesn’t want to discuss injections, then food is a good start:
Why is food poisoning legal?
How Rumsfeld forced the approval of Aspartame.
Artificial sweeteners, MSG, PFAS, Glyphosate ... go organic!

Then I’d follow with "Are you opened to see if the actual data matches your opinion?"
Then I start showing some of the shortcomings of the Pharma industry:

It's a battle between good and evil. More complex than what I can put here. But if we see that it's a spiritual battle, that's the only way to make sense of it all. At least for me Even still, it's hard for us to understand.
Grace and Peace to you. ☦️
A visit to Dachau is an experience difficult to place into words. The visitors' center had a huge map of Europe showing the network / web 🕸️ of all the national socialist workers' party camps. The Big camps were used as hubs for satellite facilities. The Horror that the Dachau facility outside Munich was an SS training facility, a 'school' in mass murder, using forced labor and experimental physiology as stepping stones on the 'way' towards their hideous ideological solution.
Lord, have mercy on us. Never forget!
I believe that the US 45th Infantry were a part of the Allied Forces liberating the camps in the south, 1945. Their museum is in Oklahoma City, USA~ Witnesses.
I once heard that most 'priests' were transferred to the Dachau camp, being removed from the general camp population. Fr Titus Brandsma 🇳🇱was murdered there. Saint Nikolai Velimirovich 🇷🇸survived the camp. 🌐✍🏼
Yes, very difficult to put the experience of visiting Dachau in words.
So many courageous stories. It's a humbling experience to hear them. I don't know if you have heard of Richard Wurmbrand, the Jewish Christian pastor who was in prison in Romania for 14 years. He was a friend of my parents and was a guest in our home when he came to America to testify before Congress. I will never forget him and his wife and son. I've been blessed to meet so many incredible people. They left a lasting impression on me and I do my best to pass those stories on.
faith hope love

Wonderfully written and read, Karen. Thank you. Sandy
Oh, so nice to see you here. Many blessings to you Sandy. ♥️🙏
Many years ago now, while living in Holland, I watched Claude Lanzmann's landmark documentary on the holocaust, Shoah, and I'm still haunted by some of the first-hand testimonies he captured. That it was broadcast in the United States by PBS over four nights in 1987, would PBS have the guts to show it again today? What we see happening across college campuses tells us how dangerous it is to allow this evil chapter in history to be washed away.
How 'public television' has changed over the years. I very much doubt they would broadcast it now. How wonderful that you could live in Holland. Beautiful country. I was living between London and a village in what was then communist Yugoslavia at that time.
I walked Dachau also. Over the years met a few survivors. Hard to imagine what they went through. Mankind at their worst. I think it is being repeated.
A heart breaking tale that must be told and always remembered. Alice Miller was speaking of the cultural denial that was starting to take place decades ago in Germany. As it is with an individual so it is with human society, it is always better to bring to light and work through something than to deny it ever happened and be doomed to repeat. Thank you for writing this. 🙏🏼
While working in a nursing home after high school, I helped care for a tiny lady with numbers tattooed on her arm. She had been at Dacchau as a young girl. She was no longer able to speak due to a stroke but she smiled often and her eyes sparkled. I always wondered how anyone who had lived through Dacchau could have ever smiled again. I still think of her often even after all these years. Thank you for this beautifully written account. It honestly brought tears to my eyes.
Karen, this is so movin' an' bee-u-tee-ful, my eyes welled up I gotta say. Bless you!
An' first--a happy Pesach to you! The tradition is to invite friends an' all who are hungry--neighbors, friends--not just "chews!" to share the meal an' the stories. You'd be an honored guest at our table! An' the tale told is a story of survival under circumstances not unlike our own today--as humans!--for we all now are fightin' against slavery under many (many!) tyrants...

Regardin' these survivors--so many did I meet an' know growin' up--but so few people today have ever met one, heard one, or lost (as we did) fambly to the Holocaust. (Outside'a the big cities--like where our transplanted NewYawk fambly is now (talk 'bout city fish outta water!)--there are folks that never met a "chew" so it surprises me not at all that it's easy ta deny something or believe the worst 'bout folks ya never met!) This pop-u-lar denial stuff (along with the Hitler-wuz-right cheers) worries & PAINS ME no end! (I joke about my trigger big toe hurtin' when it rains but lordy when this stuff rains down it hurts even harder!)
When I hear folks call it the "Holohoax" an' say it wuz all hype and didn't happen I'm just 'bout gobsmacked but then I remember how STRONG the media has gotten, everyone online, one voice--easy ta "steer cattle" (even givin' 'em a bum steer!).
Eisenhower said (this from a much longer letter):
"The visual evidence and the verbal testimony of starvation, cruelty and bestiality were so overpowering as to leave me a bit sick. In one room, where they were piled up twenty or thirty naked men, killed by starvation, George Patton would not even enter. He said he would get sick if he did so. I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in position to give first-hand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to 'propaganda.' ”
(note: some have shortened this to a "get it all on record" quote but to my knowledge this one above, in writing, is the real deal. )
Patton had already, as we see, lost his taste fer observin' the truth. He unhelpfully said something to the effect that "we" took the wrong side in the war--seein' the admittedly foul an' degraded state of the Jews--talk 'bout blamin' the victims! -- literally rendered inta bein' "filthy jews" -- I think he used the word disgusting. Some today, like Patton, cannot understand this state wuz not by choice but due ta bein' in the less-than-sanitary conditions, without water, soap, nutrition... etc. Not unlike the pogroms as well--cut off from the water source an' forced ta use dirty wells. My granny made it a pernt to always look impeccable, not a hair outta place, as did her mom an' her mom's mom an' so on--they wore white gloves out, always makeup, a hat, etc. all that---to avoid bein' called "filthy jews" an' it took me until NOW to understand whut she meant--why she decried my blue jeans an' grousin' at wearin' a dress out... b/c today, a lotta folks think Patton wuz right an' wanna mis-remember whut Ike warned....)
An' boy howdy wuz Ike right! (he also foretold the dangers of the milley-terry in-dust-trial complex... another perfect strike as he sawr that bowlin' ball speedin' down the ramp unhindered...)
When I wuz a small fry I took classes -- swim, art, drama--at our local Jewish Center (they were cheap an' quite good!). This wuz back in "ancient times"--the 1970's! an' I remember all the tattoo'd arms I'd see, specially among the older folks that volunteered there. There were the kind oldsters cookin' food, an' servin' an' doin' the cashier thing at the cafeteria that'd give me "a leetle extra" or a piece of taffy because these elders loved all the "kinder." I 'member even younger folks at our temple that had the tattoos too--an' from a young age bein' ssshhed if I wanted ta mention it ta my ma or gran'parents. They knew but it was to be "understood"... Some readers may not know that tattoos are crime against (orthodox) jewish law--obviously NOT those forced on folks--but a tattoo is considered a defacing mark or even a form of idolatry so strong the tattoo'd aren't supposed ta be buried in a chewish cemetery... so the Nazis doin' this was not only defacement but a crime against the faith...
Anywhoo... you always speak up fer women Karen, so I think ya might be moved by this interview by Ilana Rachel Daniel with a brave Iranian woman--now a professor--who escaped Iran at age 15 (after bein' arrested fer wearin' her hijab "improperly" at age 14 even though no skin showed at all!)--an' who talks about Iranian women being supportive of Israel an' (tho' the press won't say it) miserable under the current zealot regime... It's a GREAT interview!

Last but not least, I wanna share a link to a movie made by an ol' friend. I just learned she sadly passed away this week. It's about the last set've twins that Dr. Mengele "experimented on" that survived... an' managed to keep their Jewish faith and "forgive" the crimes of Mengele... I'm gonna watch it this week myself--it won many awards:

Meantimes, I love this story ya tell about the warmth an' kindness of Mother Basilea Schlink--an' her seein' yer artistic talents as a blessin' so many years ahead of time! One of the dear friends of our own fambly when I wuz growin' up was a wonderful painter--she wuz hidden by a Catholic fambly in Germany at age 9--her blonde hair an' blue eyes an' perfect German helped--but that fambly still took a mortal risk "adopting" her, a young jewish girl, an' hiding her 'til after the war. Helen's parents died in the camp--I wonder how painful it felt for them to "give up" their daughter to neighbors, knowin' their own fate... so I'm heartfelt-grateful to the Christian famblies that took those risks--that saved our "dear Helen" -- like the good "Sisters" of Mother Schlink's church.
I dunno where this'll end--but I SO appreciate yer tellin' it like ya saw it--an' so bee-u-tif-FULLY too!
Why don’t any of the tattoos ever go above five figures? You never see them. Odd.
