00:02...by the community.
00:05For decades, we have spoken.
00:10...by people across the country, sharing our painful memories.
00:15We have done this out of a deep sense of duty.
00:20To ensure that what happened to our families and six million...
00:25...for Jewish men, women and children is never forgotten.
00:30Soon there will be no witnesses left.
00:35That is why I ask you today to just listen, not...
00:40...to just listen, but become my witnesses.
00:44Also...
00:45I was born in Piotrkow, Trybunowski, in Poland in 1930.
00:50I was the middle child of my parents, Sarah and Mosher Helf.
00:55...with an older brother, Ben, and a younger sister, Lucia.
01:00I had a happy childhood.
01:03We lived in a...
01:05...with a comfortable apartment nearby...
01:07...with extended family.
01:10...and there was a relatively large Jewish community.
01:14Life was...
01:15...so it was very...
01:16...quiet, ordinary, but very pleasant and happy.
01:20In September 1939, the first...
01:25...Nazi ghetto was established in my hometown.
01:30Life there was brutal.
01:32It was overcrowded.
01:34Food was...
01:35...or much scarce.
01:36...decease was everywhere.
01:39And even...
01:40...as a twelve year-year...

01:56My mother...
01:58Ma mère et ma 8 ans, qui ont été pris en décembre de 1942.
02:03Ce qui s'est passé à eux est indescribable.
02:06Ils ont été décelés dans la manière plus horrible.
02:11Ils ont été décelés dans l'ouvrage.
02:16Ils ont été décelés dans la forest.
02:19C'était un décembre.
02:21Ils ont été décelés dans tous les pays.
02:26Mon père et mon frère ont été décelés au cours de Bois.
02:31J'ai été envoyée avec ma 5-year-old cousin Anne.

02:46Just days before liberation.
02:51In the camps we were stripped naked, shaved, put through...
02:56Freezing cold showers and even the...
03:00And given the prisoner's job.
03:02When we...
03:05We looked at each other, we barely recognised each other.
03:10We all looked the same.
03:13We were stripped...
03:15We stripped not only of our freedom, but of our identities, our dignity.
03:20Our humanity.
03:21It was a seat they had taken.
03:25We stripped away our very souls.
03:28When I arrived in Berlin...
03:30And the first thing that hit me was this...
03:35The smog and the stench.
03:37It was a hell on earth.
03:40Those still alive shuffled about like scaly.
03:45Skeleton.
03:46And just collapsed where they stood.
03:50The disease was everywhere and I became very ill with typhus.

04:40year after liberation I received an attack from my older brother Ben
04:45against all odds he had survived it was a
04:50published by the Central British Fund Committee for me to come to England
04:55when we were reunited Ben was a hero
05:00just 11 years after his liberation
05:04the captain
05:05the British weightlifting team at the 1956 Melbourne
05:10Olympics but amazing
05:15he was also the leader of our survivor community and champion of Holocaust
05:20education he was knighted in 2000
05:25at 18 and he passed away unfortunately
05:30in 2023
05:33and this seemed terribly
05:35one of them's greatest wishes was to see the
05:40Holocaust Memorial Learning Centre built beside Parliament
05:45a permanent place where survivor testimony would be preserved
