"---Throughout the room, the audience reacted with tears to her painful yet compelling memories.---

When she was taken to the concentration camps, she was forced to give all her personal belongings to the Nazis. She refused to let them take the only memory of her mother, so she put the diamonds in her mouth. "The diamonds were the only thing I had left to remember my mother; she sewed them into my skirt and told me to buy bread with them," said Zisblatt.
When the Nazis were taking out all of the gold teeth and cavities from the Jews, Zisblatt said that she had no other option but to swallow them. She would swallow and excrete and wash and swallow again every day in order to conserve her mother's diamonds.
Zisblatt had the audience in tears in her description on what she thought was her last few minutes alive walking to the gas chambers. "We stood naked waiting in line to get to the gas chambers. But as we stood naked, we didn't feel the nakedness, only our souls were naked," she said.
The passion that Zisblatt stirred amongst the students was remarkable. "I wish all my students could have been there," said Gary Gershman, Ph.D., associate professor of legal studies in the Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences' Division of Humanities. "Even though I read her book, I'm as moved as I've ever been. This reinforces in my mind that it should be mandatory for every student to hear a Holocaust survivor speak."---"

"---Well the rabbi finally gave in and told me that while I was still a Jew I would spend eternity in boiling excrement for believing in Yeshua. I later found out that it says this in the Talmud, b.gittin 57a.---"
