Hmmm...there are many that come to mind. Most survivors who speak in public will answer most any question. I would establish the camp they were located in and how the guards were toward the prisoners. I would probably ask how they believe we can avoid losing the facts that the holocaust happened since so many people (and more seem to come out daily) deny it ever happened.

Do you think that what happened to seemingly otherwise normal people in Germany could happen again? The indoctrination of thousands of German youth into the SS death squads? If so, what is the best course of action as a society we can take to make sure this never happens again?

How were you able to overcome the pain of what you went through to go on with your life? Do you ever feel sorry for yourself or get depressed? Can you make any generalization about the type of person who was more likely to survive?

I was at a talk given by a group of survivors a few years ago. Someone in the audience asked them whether or not they thought the whole experience was a learning experience for humanity -- was their terrible sacrifice 'worth it' to make humanity better? There were varied and highly interesting responses.
