An Incredible Story of Two Pieces of Chocolate in a Concentration Camp

Here's an incredible tale from Human, a documentary film made by interviewing over 2,000 people. Each person in Human has something to say that's worth listening to - like the convicted murderer who tears up speaking about meeting the mother and grandmother of the woman and child he killed, or the young woman who prayed to God every day to make her straight.

But perhaps no story is as moving as this extraordinary tale of survival, told by an extraordinary 82-year-old survivor of a concentration camp. 

The four-minute clip features French-Jewish Francine Christophe, who was born in 1933, the year Hitler came to power. Growing up, she had to wear the Star of David on her lapel to identify her as a Jew. At eight, she found herself in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in Nazi Germany - the same camp that Anne Frank and her sister died in. But Francine Christophe's story has a happier ending than Anne Frank's, even though it will likely make you reach for the box of tissues.

Her story begins in the Belsen camp but ends several decades later, in the most inspiring manner possible. It involves a pregnant camp-mate, a newborn baby and two pieces of chocolate. 

And that's all we're going to say about it. Watch till the end, you'll agree we need to hear more stories like this.
