Auschwitz Memorial

An Auschwitz survivor Hédi Fried passed away today at the age of 98.

Hédi was born in a Jewish family in the Romanian town of Sighet. In 1944 she was deported to #Auschwitz. She was liberated in Bergen-Belsen. In July 1945 she came to #Sweden with the Swedish Red Cross.

Hédi Fried became an author and psychologist dedicated to spreading the message of the importance of democratic values to combat xenophobia, using her own experiences as a #Holocaust #survivor.

@auschwitzmuseum “Because prejudice is the root of a lot of the evil in this world”. Somehow, we learn prejudice and lose empathy through life. We have become intolerant of differences, in appearance, in gender, in sexual orientation, in religious belief, in capability and ability, in health, in social economic status, in so many things. I am not sure what we fear. After all, “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering”

@auschwitzmuseum having lived a long and full filled life was a great answer to what the Nazis tried to do to her.

May the earth be light to you, Hédi Fried.

@auschwitzmuseum as I read about Hédi and contemplate, I am moved by the fact that some day all of the contemporary witnesses of Nazi Germany's horrors will have passed on
