Unique Worldwide Project Makes Nazi Era Eyewitnesses Approachable One Last Time<\/strong><\/p>\n

U.S. Lecture Tour of Bernhard Rammerstorfer and Victims of Nazi Tyranny Hermine Liska and Ren\u00e9e Firestone at Notable Universities Like Harvard and Stanford<\/strong><\/p>\n

As part of a major speaking tour across the United States, author and award-winning filmmaker Bernhard Rammerstorfer<\/strong> presents his latest book and DVD entitled TAKING THE STAND: We Have More to Say<\/em>. <\/strong>He is providing one of the last opportunities <\/strong>to meet, in person, Nazi Era eyewitnesses.
\nAustrian Victim of Nazi Tyranny Hermine Liska<\/strong> will be accompanying him on the complete tour. Auschwitz survivor and Holocaust Teacher Ren\u00e9e Firestone,<\/strong> from Los Angeles, will be additionally taking part in the lectures in California.<\/p>\n

Ren\u00e9e Firestone\u2019s life story was part of Steven Spielberg\u2019s Oscar-winning documentary The Last Days<\/em>. In Taking the Stand<\/em> Mrs. Firestone remembers:
\n<\/strong>\u201cI looked over and I saw Mengele . . .\u201d
\n\u201cIf I started blaming God, then I was going to excuse men, and this was really done by men, by humanity.\u201d
\n\u201cYou don\u2019t see the chimney and the fire and the smoke? There go your parents! And when you go through the chimneys,\u201d she said, \u201cyou will be reunited.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Likewise, Hermine Liska, a target of the Nazi re-education program as a child of Bible Students (Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses) who rejected Nazi ideology, recounts:<\/strong>
\n\u201cI did not use the greeting \u201cHeil Hitler!\u201d and did not join the Hitler Youth.\u201d
\n\u201cYou must not plot revenge, because that harms you even more. Vengeful thoughts are the worst you can have; they do you more harm.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
