'Voices of Auschwitz' - Special Report - 10 PM - (tonight Sat. 31/1/15)
Story and film of the place - the people and the survivors!
FOXTEL - CNN News Channel
(Just "posting" this info. for anyone who may be interested!)
There were TWO particular stories in this Doco. that blew my mind!!! I am not a "religious" person in any way or form - BUT - these two stories just had to make a person "think" ....there is/or has to be some possible "higher force" out there in this world????
I will not bore you with the stories - but - if anyone would like to know I am happy to repeat them! They were just amazing - sent "chills" down my spine so to speak ....
Also I was unaware that the Doco. was made by Stephen Speilberg....he went to Auschwitz prior to interviewing the survivors and was allowed into a "No Go Zone" unless accompanied by the guards who still surround it - even to this day! - He went on a rainy day - the guards who are there 24/7 said to him - "Put your hands into the soil here"? Speilberg did - and was amazed ro find amongst the mud of the soil a white substance that just kinda stuck to his hands - he asked the guards - "What is this "white stuff in the soil" ?? They told him - "It is the ashes that came out of the chimneys from the millions of people that died and floated into the ground around Auschwitz - they are still here with us today"!
I would be lying if I said I did not shed a few tears last night!
Maybe it will come on one of the FTA channels soon, Foxy.
I really would like to see it.
...if you would like me to put the two stories "up" I will do so - they were simply amazing/unbelievable! - I promise to keep them as short as I can.? If not - I understand - they did turn out to be "happy" after all the 'Pain" and these people are still alive today :-)
At the end of the Doco. - however - it was mentioned that the next "celebration" - in another 5-10 years (which it was called) it would be very lucky - if any of the people in this Doco - would still be alive! So sad........
Foxy... put them up... all the better if they make you think, we do not know everything, even if we think we do. Personally I think there is a lot more than what we can grasp in this life , such as 'WHY" there is "LIFE"
Thankyou Seth and Sandi - yes I will put them up in the next couple of days - I recorded the Doco. so that if anyone was interested - I could at least make sure my "facts" were correct! ....... :-)
If you would like to do that then yes I would read them.
It was a very sad time Foxy and if I see the show I will shed a few tears too.
My favourite writer is Leon Uris. I've read all his books.
i did watch one doco which was on s,b,s, i think, about 2 weeks ago, that also had SPIELBERG in it, he also went there when he made SCHINDLERS LIST, a very good film, sad of course, but i dont think these stories should ever be forgotten, just to be sure that nothing loke this can ever happen again,

Hey Sandi/Seth - I will be putting up the post over the week-end - I have not forgotten - my life has spiralled outta control this past week - hence me barely being here - nothing to do with me - but a dear friend of 15 years - has fallen into the most disgusting "circumstances of life" - I have now taken over her 40th. birthday party for her only son - Fri (tomorrow) on her behalf and am organising the whole thing! My friend found out early this week - she has like maybe 4 months to live - bowel n ovarian cancer - double-whammy!!!
Dear friend cannot deal with the party or anything right now!
We never know huh? She is going down so rapidly it is frightening! You wonder what it/this "life" is all about?
FOXY, so sorry to hear of your friend, this bloody cancer doesnt pick who it attacks, i have 3 friends all struck down with it, hope and pray they find a cure for ir soon,
That's OK Foxy I been kinda busy too this week.
Foxy that cancer is the only one that you don't have symptons with and it is almost or is stage 4 when detected, which is the final stage.
My daughter had a serous tumour and when they found it, it had gone into her lungs,over her bowel and kidneys. She fought like hell after a prognosis of 6 weeks after they operated and she went 8 1/2 years although on chemo the whole time.
The anniversary of her death is 28th February (1 year).
So tell your friend she has to have a positive attitude, it's hard I know. Barbra was only 36 at the time.
Life was never meant to be easy but it shouldn't be this damn hard.
SANDI, so sorry to hear of your daughter, i have seen mention of BARBARA on here, but didnt know the circumstances, FEBRUARY is going to be a hard month for you, NO, life can be so very cruel,
Don't have Foxtel Foxy
