@auschwitzmuseum she's the same age as me when she was taken to a Death March.

Thank you for this measure of sobriety.

@auschwitzmuseum What an incredible woman!
@auschwitzmuseum Hard to believe how liberation left people like her living under constant threat in a new nightmare.
Hunger in the concentration camps. Part One.

@auschwitzmuseum wow!! I’m in awe ! Her survival is incredible yet her postwar life punctuated by shunning . I wonder what it would have be like to speak with her as an older woman . Was she ever interviewed?
@auschwitzmuseum Today is this remarkable survivor’s birthday.
@auschwitzmuseum Even before reading the description I thought that she looks like she‘s been in the resistance.
@auschwitzmuseum I find myself incredibly joyous when I find those who survived somehow.
