  So I just perused the web for a bit of information on the subject, because of curiosity and skepticism, and most sources cite that 1941 was the year that the holocaust started. So if she left Austria in 1939, how does that qualify her as a holocaust survivor? Didn't she leave before it started? I ask this because I was recently informed that the horror stories about the Nazis using human skin from their Jewish victims to make lampshades was debunked years ago, yet not more than a month ago I watched a History Channel program still peddling this story. I was also skeptical because of her story in the article, where she says she used to drip water on the Nazi soldiers on purpose while washing windows. I mean if I was in the same situation, I'd be taking extra special care to NOT give a reason to shoot me to the psycho racist homicidal maniac soldiers who could shoot me at any time for no reason at all. It all just doesn't really add up for me, people who have a will to live don't tempt fate like that. She then says that she had a lot guts to do that. That is an opinion statement. Some other folks might opine that she was foolish to do that. Extrapolating on these issues has made me even more skeptical she is being forthright about all this.
