If you haven't heard about it yet here is some information:

I haven't seen the whole interview though it was on TV here because I was on a vacation that day, but from what I heard she must have proven to be really self confident. Since I'm about her age and I really don't know wether I would have had the power to bear the live in a small room for such a long period of time. I think she really is a cool girl and I'm sure she will get on with it maybe she will write a book about it or something like that. What do you think about this?

I think it is so horrible that I even cannot imagine being in such a situation... so probably she is seriously mentally damaged.. poor girl.

There was a TV interview screened here recently.. I was surprised at how remarkably composed and intelligent she appeared during the interview. I think she is an incredible person, and will eventually recover fully. It's a real shame she missed out on educational development, but she seems like the person who would catch up easily.

I saw only parts of the interview however in her native langauge and the way she speaks and the things she says show that she is probably more educated then most people in my age, she sounds much more serious and less childish it doesn't sound sad though, so yes I think she is gonna make it. She knows how to write so if she doesn't get a job she can write a book^^
It's really surprising that she doesn't sound like a mentally damaged person I think she was to tough for him to break her. I think she even mentioned that she alway knew he had picked the wrong one if he wanted to have a slave...
It's nice to hear that tis story went around the whole world and even you guys in Australia got to see the interview, it's only about 200-300 km from here so here everyone knows about her. She also said she wants to visit our capital Berlin however I hope she can withstand the media interest but we will see.
