Surviving Child Medical Experiments in Auschwitz | We Mourn Marta Weiss | USC Shoah Foundation

USC Shoah Foundation mourns the passing of Marta (Weiss) Wise, who was ten years old when she was liberated from Auschwitz, having endured the medical torture of Josef Mengele, along with her sister, Eva (Weiss) Slonim.
During World War II, Bratislava was part of the Slovak Republic, a puppet state of Nazi Germany. In 1944, 10-year-old Marta and 12-year-old Eva were arrested, and soon deported to the Auschwitz II-Birkenau death camp. Marta and Eva were sent to the medical experimentation block, run by Nazi doctor Josef Mengele (known today as the “Angel of Death”).
On January 27, 1945, the Red Army liberated Auschwitz. Upon hearing that they would be taken to Russia, Marta and Eva fled. It took three months to reach their hometown, where they found that their parents and most siblings had also survived. In 1948, the family immigrated to Australia.
In her testimony, Marta describes how luck, and the help of others, allowed her to survive.
“I think it's important that youth hear something from a survivor. And let's face it, I'm one of the youngest survivors, from Auschwitz, definitely. I don't think there's many my age. And I think it's important that they hear it from yourself” - Marta Wise

    Marta was not only a worrier, she was a WARRIOR. How she and her sister survived this horror as little children was mindblowing and unbelievable. The scene where she got Eva out of the Hospital as a little child of 17kg and pulled her through the snow so she doesn't get killed made me cry most out of all those terrible, horrible scenes she has described. Although it's so sad what has been Happening to their Family and siblings in the unspeakable Holocaust crimes, I was so glad to hear that she and Eva survived the Camp together - against all odds. It was not only due to luck, although it was an almost unreal amount of luck saving their lifes. But it was also the fact that these were outstandingly smart girls who made all the right decisions even at this young age, which they learned from their strong and courageous family and especially their father, who seemed to have been a very smart and caring man. This Story is extraordinary important and emotional, and everyone should listen to it. I feel like it has changed my life. Thank you so much, Marta, for telling us your story. Rest in peace, beautiful strong warrior Lady. ❤

I’m a 79 year old Welsh woman living in Colchester England for 43 years. My grandad fought in WW1 in the battle of the SOMME he returned unable to walk after standing for months in frozen mud trenches.He became a bespoken shoe/ boot maker in our mid wales town and often he could be seen in my dads work shed where he had a large wooden bench and made boots and shoes for disabled people pro bono(free) he never spoke of what he’d been through,he died when I was 13 he made my grammar school satchel and really smart brogues. Nobody told me until later.I’d passed my 11 plus he told my mum “ well of course she did”.when I found out I knocked at the front room door and told him thank you grandad,I love you,he coughed and said “you did well” my gran had died when I was 9 she was a healer a very special woman.oh dear I’m going on again I’ve been ill since 2001 in bed for the last 4+years.

I am not at all questioning that it happened,, just so scary that people went along. When Marta's husband speaks in the end about her being fearful of history repeating itself- I don't blame her for feeling like that. She was an eye witness to the atrocities. So sad and wrong.😢 God Bless her soul.❤

Psalms 34:15 The eyes of YHWH are upon the righteous ones, and his ears to hear them. 16 The face of YHWH is against the evil, to blot out their remembrance from the Earth. 17 The righteous ones cried out and YHWH heard them and delivered them. 18 YHWH is near to the broken hearted and he saves the meek in spirit. 19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous one, and YHWH delivers him from all of them. 20 And he will keep all his bones that not one of them will be broken. 21 Evil kills the wicked and those who hate the righteous will come to an end. 22 YHWH will redeem the souls of his Servants and none who hope in him will be condemned.

    Such a moving and heartbreaking story. Whatever your religion no one should be persecuted or killed for the sake of someone’s greed and power to rule mankind.

    I have listened to many of your recorded testimonies right up to the October 7th ones….thanks to the brave people who have shared…..they reach us how precious loved ones are and to cherish each other always every day expressing love. We do not know what a day will bring. One thing however it seemed appalling that he people from the Oct 7th massacre were being put up in an incredibly noisy environment, with very loud noise of approaching planes and the continuous disturbing noise of what sounded like a bulldozer. This was so distracting and frustrating making it difficult to listen to the folks sharing, so much so I almost gave up. Also I could see how it unsettled those dear people who had endured so much. Surely a quiet and tranquil place could have been found for them both to recover and to be interviewed. Hope you can deal with this, even removed the background noise from interview because they are ver very important. Thank you.

    Thank You for this precious interview. Im from Bratislava and I know many of the names and places. For example Szombathely is 1,5 h from Bratislava with a car today, so in that time it must took hours by train and it certainely wasn't an easy and safe trip for her mother.

    To just add to my previous post. I am writing this as I listen to “surviving child experiments in concentration camp” and wondering if someone is interfering with your podcasts as the awful noise that sounds like a mechanical digger or bulldozer is making it difficult to listen too. I am not having this trouble on any other type of podcasts.

    I know it’s an interview and it is a topic that is very hard to comprehend but I found the interviewer lady very focused on her own questions and very matter of fact. The horror of what they went through leaves us all speechless but it is OK to react to what she is saying. It is OK to show empathy and compassion. It’s also okay to leave gaps between the finished answer and the next question, especially if she’s crying. Either way I‘m stunned by Marta and her family- wishing their children and extended family nothing but the best. Thank you for telling your story.

    To say that I wish I could make a comment toward you now is an understatement. This horrific event (the Holocaust as a whole) captured my attention as a teenager/tween and I now teach high schoolers. Recognizing this atrocity, trying to break through the desensitization of current students so that they can understand the true gravity of this- understand the absolute inhumanity of this- is something I struggle with. I truly will never be able to fathom what people like Marta (may you rest in eternal peace with your family and God) have gone through, but I only hope that I can show my students the importance of tolerance and kindness and HUMANITY. This documentary was painful but so, so worthwhile. Thank you, Marta- you live beyond your life here on earth.

    That you were responsible for other’s lives, yes they used that. They told my father’s group that if any escaped they would kill everyone in the cabin. My father didn’t believe and he jumped from the train, saving his life. Nobody from his compartment was shot.

    The interviewer failed to keep the Survivor focused. Many stories were repeated. But perhaps being stuck like that is understandable. She went through horrible things and in a child's perspective, she can't get untangled. It was still a worthwhile interview.

    The woman that this survivor is speaking about, who killed several SS members officers, was named Margaretha Geertruida MacLeod. She actually was a professional dancer that was well known for her dancing by many Germans.
