21 December 1944 | A Hungarian Jewish girl, Angela Orosz Richt, was born in Auschwitz II-Birkenau.

Her mother was deported from Hungary when she was 3-month pregnant. She risked her life in the camp to keep the pregnancy secret.

Angela was liberated on 27 January 1945.

Today she lives in Canada & turns 78.

Happy birthday!

@auschwitzmuseum what an amazing story. Thank you for keeping all their memories alive and for sharing their stories.
@auschwitzmuseum Such an important #lifestory to share❤️! Happy birthday to Angela!
@auschwitzmuseum In Germany there is a children's song that contains the following line: "Wie schön, dass du geboren bist, wir hätten dich sonst sehr vermisst." (How nice that you were born, otherwise we would have missed you very much.) Happy birthday Angela.
