      Leaders of Palestine (Hamas) would LOVE a second holocaust. How dare you comment this on a holocaust survivors’ video. That is sick.

      If you haven’t seen him on The Drew Barrymore show, I highly recommend you do.
      It’s on YouTube split up in increments but he drops a couple more smooth ones! ???? They have great chemistry, she was most definitely slipping and sliding in her seat… ????????

    I grew up listening to the stories of their survival of the Holocaust. They were the most kind people I have ever met. I enjoyed our time together and they showed me how to listen with kindness. All of us benefited.

    the guy should be mentioned in the title – not ted nor shorts. He deserves it more than ted or shorts.

    That is the real embarassing part cause ted takes more care for celebrating themselves instead of him, the guy withou a name cause it was more important to repeat ted again and again.

      Recently I found out from a comment, how to get more information — if you click on the 3 dots at top right, then click on description, his name is Werner Reich, & there’s a link to the full talk.

    The ego is man’s enemy, vanity, materialism all diminish the kindness & hope we all crave. In these times we can do almost anything (within reason) if your going to be anything!? Be kind it costs you nothing but earns you an abundance of joy.

    Pearls of wisdom. Kindness is not weakness which people misunderstand. Holocaust survivors are so strong people! The story a woman whose mother saved her but was left behind. Real struggles.

The idea that depression comes from a chemical imbalance in the brain has shaped treatment for decades. Neuroscientist Lisa Monteggia shares research suggesting that’s not the whole story — and shows how a decades-old drug could upend what we thought we knew about depression, with the potential to offer relief within hours.
