NEW YORK – In the leadup to International Holocaust Remembrance Day on Jan. 27, the World Jewish Congress has launched its seventh annual #WeRemember campaign, to learn from the past and protect the future.

Tova Friedman gives a detailed account of her experience during WWII. Including her time in Poland and the Auschwitz Concentration Camp.

Tova Friedman recounts how she and her mother hid in the camp’s hospital during the camp’s liquidation. The two were liberated a week later.

In the waning months of World War II, two young girls from a Jewish ghetto in the heart of Poland were liberated from Adolf Hitler’s most notorious death camp, Auschwitz. At 6 and 10, Tova Friedman and Freida Tenenbaum were among the youngest of 7,000 prisoners found alive by a regiment of the Soviet army.
