27 January Holocaust Memorial Day: EXCLUSIVE 'The mad were worse than the corpses...they'd flail their arms and scream': survivors recall the horrors they faced
Mailonline ^ | 27 January 2023 | Rachael Bunyan

Agnes was 11 when she was pushed onto an old cattle cart bound for Auschwitz with 87 other Jews, the chained door sliding shut behind them.

Over a traumatic four days, this little girl watched many of the Jews die in front of her from dehydration and was unable to move away from them as they were all cramped so tightly together in the dark cart.

'The thing that was worse than the dead people was the few who went mad, they'd flail their arms around, shout and scream,' Agnes Kaposi.

The smell was horrific in the small cart - they were forced to use an oil drum as a toilet and Agnes recalls them using her grandmother's ladle to empty it through a small gap in the sliding door of the train.

Agnes and her family had no idea that their train from a Hungarian ghetto was bound for Auschwitz - or that it was diverted away to Strasshof transit camp in Austria at the last minute in a move that would end up saving their lives.

In the year that followed, they were forced to work as a slave laborer at a farm and then later a factory manufacturing anti-aircraft guns for the Nazis before returning to Strasshof.

When Soviet soldiers finally liberated their transit camp, the initial joy of finally being free was quickly replaced with terror.

The Russian soldiers brought a fresh horror as they dragged the Jewish women away and raped them. Agnes says her grandmother hid her every night so the soldiers wouldn't rape her.

'The women would be taken away by the soldiers and came back bruised,' Agnes says. 'I didn't understand what had happened because I was 12, but I now know they raped scores of Jewish women there.'

Daily Mail made sure to point out

- Russians raped concentration camp survivors
- We should all be afraid of leaders like TRUMP, who will cause another Holocaust because of his “hate speech.”

Daily Mail being the Daily Mail.

It was a good article until I got to this part:

‘In America there’s the Trump movement and these movements thrive on hate. People saw his rhetoric as permission to show and act on their prejudices,’ Uri says, point to the Capitol Hill riots.

‘People thought, the President of the United States can talk like that to people, why can’t I?’

Holocaust Prayer:

1 שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלוֹת מִמַּעֲמַקִּים קְרָאתִיךָ יְהֹוָה׃

Shir hamma'alot mimma'amakkim keraticha Adonai.

A song of ascents. Out of the depths I call You, God.

2 אֲדֹנָי שִׁמְעָה בְקוֹלִי תִּהְיֶינָה אָזְנֶיךָ קַשֻּׁבוֹת לְקוֹל תַּחֲנוּנָי׃ Adonai shim'ah vekoli tihyenah azeneicha kashuvot lekol tachanunai.

O God, listen to my cry; let Your ears be attentive to my plea for mercy.

3 אִם־עֲוׂנוֹת תִּשְׁמָר־יָהּ אֲדֹנָי מִי יַעֲמֹד׃ Im-avonot tishmar-yah Adonai mi ya'amod. If You keep account of sins, God, who will survive?

4 כִּי־עִמְּךָ הַסְּלִיחָה לְמַעַן תִּוָּרֵא׃ Ki-immecha hasselichah lema'an tivvarei. Yours is the power to forgive so that You may be held in awe.

5 קִוִּיתִי יְהֹוָה קִוְּתָה נַפְשִׁי וְלִדְבָרוֹ הוֹחָלְתִּי׃ Kivviti Adonai kivvetah nafshi velidvaro hochaleti. I look to God; I look to Him; I await His word.

6 נַפְשִׁי לַאדֹנָי מִשֹּׁמְרִים לַבֹּקֶר שֹׁמְרִים לַבֹּקֶר׃ Nafshi L’Adonai mishomerim laboker shomerim laboker. I am more eager for God than watchmen for the morning, watchmen for the morning.

7 יַחֵל יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל־יְהֹוָה כִּי־עִם־יְהֹוָה הַחֶסֶד וְהַרְבֵּה עִמּוֹ פְדוּת׃ Yachel yisra'el el-Adonai ki-im-Adonai hachesed veharbeh immo fedut. O Israel, wait for God; for with God is steadfast love and great power to redeem.

8 וְהוּא יִפְדֶּה אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל מִכֹּל עֲוׂנֹתָיו׃ Vehu yifdeh et-yisra'el mikkol avnotav. It is He who will redeem Israel from all their iniquities.

Yeah they had to throw that in. What about the openly anti-Semitic conduct of Rashida Talib and Ilhan Omar and many more Dems?! All quiet.

Interesting that Uri Winterstein blames the division in this country on Trump and his followers who thrive on hate and hate speech. He sounds like the Jews who were willing to capitulate with the Nazis by turning in their neighbors.

His mindset explains fully why they continue to vote for Democrats.....

Was it bad to point out that the Russian army was composed of rapists?

No. Its also important for Daily Mail to point out that Trump will cause another Holocaust.

The wankers pushing out all these reasons to hate Russia and Russians going back to the Pleistocene are the same people who put Joe Biden in power over us in 2020.

Make no mistake, they want to rule the entire world with the same methods they used on us and, at this point in time, the ONLY things standing between them and that are Vladimir Putin and the Russian military.

None too subtle digs at Americans by Brits like this definitely cause to truly despise quite a number of the British.

No, not all all. Stalin encouraged his troops to rape German women.
He said, to the effect “When a soldier risks so much blood and face the sting of battle who's to say he can't take a dalliance with a woman. Even a German one’’
