A group of child survivors of Auschwitz show their tattoos shortly after liberation. Tova Friedman is at the far left. Państwowe Muzeum Auschwitz-Birkenau w Oświęcimiu
It’s some of the most indelible Holocaust imagery: a group of children wearing striped uniforms pulling back their sleeves to reveal tattoos. Their young faces, surrounded by the barbed wire of Auschwitz shortly after their liberation, laid bare the evils of the Holocaust. Tova Friedman was one of these innocents—a young girl targeted by the Germans solely because she was Jewish. As we commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Tova will talk about how she is dedicating the last chapter of her life to fighting antisemitism and ensuring the victims of the Holocaust are not forgotten.

Tova Friedman, one of the youngest Auschwitz survivors
