Kathleen Richards, Survivor of Fred and Rose West. ‘I felt like the walls were closing in. All I could see was Fred West’s face’: how one woman escaped Britain’s worst serial killers.
When Kathleen Richards rented a room at 25 Cromwell Street, she quickly realised the couple who owned it had a dark side. But even after their arrest, there was something about her 15 months at the house that she could never tell anyone – until now.

Holocaust survivors visit Auschwitz on 80th anniversary of death camp liberation
EXCLUSIVE: April 23rd, 2025 - Auschwitz, Poland: Felicja Weiss,, Year of birth: 1935, Place of birth: Poland. "In our building, the Germans set up a factory to manufacture leather boots, and my father worked there until May 1942, when we received a letter to report to the Gestapo offices. My father sent my mother, brother, and me to my aunt's house, and stayed to hide in the factory. At midnight, the Germans entered my aunt's house and sent us all to a barracks in the city. In great distress, I lost my mother and brother. "In the morning, some of the Jews were released, and I saw my aunt with her six daughters walking towards the exit. I joined them. When we got to the registration desk, I realized that they would find out that I did not belong to them. I saw an open door to my left, I took advantage of the opportunity and crawled out. My father was waiting for me outside. He told me that my mother and brother had been taken to Auschwitz (from where they never returned). At home, he washed me, dressed me nicely and told me that I was seven years old. We survived the great Aktion.In March 1943 we moved to the Srodula ghetto. Father knew many people. He used to leave me with Polish families and came to visit me. "In January 1944, he brought me to Ochowe (Katowice), to the Pasel family (who, after the war, were awarded the Righteous Among the Nations title). He told me to say my name was Helena Birentzka, and that my mother had died. Only at the end of the war, when no one came to pick me up, did the family conclude that I was Jewish. Since April 1944, my father has not come to visit me, and to this day I am waiting for him to return. "In January 1945, the Germans left and the Russians arrived. I was free, and alone in the world. I immigrated to Israel in 1957, and I have two sons and four grandchildren.I defeated Hitler!" (Ziv Koren/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)

Holocaust survivors visit Auschwitz on 80th anniversary of death camp liberation
EXCLUSIVE: April 23rd, 2025 - Auschwitz, Poland: Arne Rabuchin was born in 1944 in Sweden, the only son of parents who had fled Denmark during the occupation. During the war, while carrying him in her womb, his mother made her way to Gilley, a small fishing village in Denmark where many Jews were hiding. The mother hid in the village church until a woman from the Salvation Army invited her and her parents to stay with her. It was a stroke of luck. That very evening, the Germans discovered the Jews hiding in the church and deported them to Theresienstadt. A few days later, Arne's mother boarded a fishing boat that brought them to Sweden, where Arne was born in April 1944. In 1945, after the war ended, Arne returned with his parents to Denmark.I survived the war and I feel that the Germans were defeated. In the March of the Living, I want to show the whole world that I survived. Arne immigrated to Israel in the 1980s and enlisted in the Israel Defense Forces. Arne has 3 children and 3 grandchildren.

I immigrated to Israel in 1957, and I have two sons and four grandchildren.I defeated Hitler!" (Ziv Koren/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)

Holocaust survivors visit Auschwitz on 80th anniversary of death camp liberation
EXCLUSIVE: April 23rd, 2025 - Auschwitz, Poland: Alisa Vitis Shomron, Year of birth: 1928. Place of birth: Poland. Aliza's childhood was uneventful. Her extended middle class family numbered more than 80 people, working in a wool weaving and knitting factory. During the war, the family lived in the terrible conditions of the Warsaw Ghetto. In February 1941, Aliza joined “Hashomer Hatzair" and became involved in underground activities led by Mordechai Anielewicz, the commander of the Jewish fighting organization in the Warsaw Ghetto. Aliza risked her life by helping children who smuggled food into the ghetto and by passing weapon parts to the fighters. When the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising broke out (April 1943), she was only 15 years old and was not allowed to fight. Members of the underground smuggled her out of the ghetto so that she could tell the story of their heroism. Her father was unable to escape and perished in Majdanek. Aliza was captured and sent to Bergen-Belsen. ”About two and a half years before the end of the war, we were sent to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. The hunger was unbearable. One day, we were told to leave the barracks and march to the train station. We marched with our remaining strength about eight kilometers, got on the train, and traveled back and forth for about eight days. On April 13, 1945, the train stopped. The German crew boarded the locomotive and disappeared, and suddenly, American tanks appeared before us. The damned war was over!”. Aliza left her mother and sister and smuggled herself aboard an illegal immigrant ship and immigrated to Israel. The family was reunited in Israel two years later. Aliza has three children, seven grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. "Marching in the March of the Living is the fulfillment of the will of my comrades in the Jewish Fighting Organization. I survived the inferno, and I am proud to have raised a family for the glory of the State of Israel". (Ziv Koren/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/P

EXCLUSIVE: April 23rd, 2025 - Auschwitz, Poland: Naftali Furst, Year of birth: 1933. Place of birth: Czechoslovakia. ”I am Naftali Furst, born in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia, 92 years old. When I was nine years old, I was imprisoned in the Sered concentration camp in Slovakia, together with my mother Martit, father Artur, and my brother Shmuel.” “On November 2, 1944, we were sent to Auschwitz Birkenau. The first sight I saw at the door of the train car was red flames shooting from the chimneys of the crematorium. A miracle happened. The day before we arrived at Auschwitz, Himmler ordered the gas chambers to cease operation. The gassing was stopped, but the piles of bodies continued to be burned in the crematorium. The number 14026-B was stamped on my arm. Shmuel and I were separated from our parents and left alone". In January 1945 Shmuel and I were sent on a death march. The suffering was worse than death. The journey continued in open train cars, in the freezing cold of minus 25C. "On January 23, 1945 we arrived at Buchenwald. Exhausted and sick, I had a fever and was hallucinating. I was once again on the verge of ending my life as a pile of ashes. The head of the barracks, Antonin Kalina, ordered my brother to take me to the hospital. A second miracle occurred - I recovered and healed. Kalina was awarded the title of Righteous Among the Nations for saving over 900 Jewish children from death.” “On April 11, 1945, I was liberated by the American army in Buchenwald, and I was 12 years old, alone in the world. I returned to Bratislava. My parents and brother had also survived, each in a different camp. We were reunited". "I grew up and started a family in Israel. Thanks to my daughter Ronit, I have four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, and I live in a relationship with Tova Wegman. (Ziv Koren/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)

EXCLUSIVE: April 22nd, 2025 - Auschwitz, Poland: Hana Sternlicht, Year of birth: 1930. Place of birth: Czechoslovakia. Hana was born in Prague, an only daughter. When she was 9, the Germans arrived, and the decrees began against the Jewish population. “I eagerly awaited the movie 'Snow White.' When we arrived at the cinema, a girl informed on me that I am Jewish, and they threw me out. After a while, the usher came, apologized, and refunded me the money. I left the place.” "On December 6, 1942, darkness and freezing cold, we were required to leave our home. We were allowed to take equipment weighing up to 50 kg, so we wore everything we could. They were sent to Theresienstadt in Czechoslovakia. "The conditions were extremely harsh. Theresienstadt was a showcase ghetto, and the Germans used it to supposedly prove they treated Jews well. Of course, this wasn’t the case.” "We went through difficult things, but nothing prepared us for the hell of Auschwitz. I was sent there in 1944 in a cattle car, with no windows and complete darkness, until the train stopped and the doors opened. Searchlights, smoke, barking dogs, kicking, and the screams of SS officers. We arrived at the selection of Dr. Mengele. Someone whispered to me to say I was 16, not 14, and that's how I survived.” "We slept on bunk beds, about 12 women in each bed. In the soup, we could feel the sand from the vegetable peels.” “I was liberated at the age of 15, weighing 29 kg From Mauthausen camp. I don’t remember the liberation, I was in a very bad condition. My parents and most of my family were destroyed in the Holocaust.” Hana immigrated to Israel in 1949 where she married and had two children and worked as an aide in special education. “I have 6 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. They are my victory over Hitler. (Ziv Koren/Polaris)EXCLUSIVE: April 22nd, 2025 - Auschwitz, Poland: Year of birth: 1930. Place of birth: Czechoslovakia. Hana was born in Prague, an only daughter.

EXCLUSIVE: April 23rd, 2025 - Auschwitz, Poland: Bella Eizenman, Year of birth: 1927. Place of birth: Poland. When the war broke out, Bella was 12 years old. "Our large house, in the ghetto area, was joined by several other families. In 1942, my father was taken to the Gestapo headquarters, which was opposite our house. He died under the torture of interrogations while we heard his screams. My brother died of hunger a year later.” To get a little food, Bella sewed saddles. Her fingers cut until they bled. Then she knitted various products and also completed her mother's quota, to be eligible for food stamps and not be sent to extermination. In 1944, after the liquidation of the Lodz ghetto, Bella was sent to the Auschwitz camp and passed Mengele's selection. Her mother was taken to the other side. "I tried to run after my mother, but a Jew who was there stopped me. The next day I asked someone if he knew where my mother was. He told me to look at the smoking chimneys.” Bella was left alone. She contracted tuberculosis and typhus, worked in a weapons factory, then was sent to Bergen-Belsen and from there, towards the end of the war, went on a death march. One night she left the marchers and hid with three of her friends in a barn. The Germans bayoneted the pile of straw in which they were hiding but did not discover them. Under cover of a blizzard, Bella crossed the border into the Czech Republic and was cared for in a village where the people thought she was a Polish orphan. A Jewish officer from the Russian army put her in touch with a group of Jewish orphans in Pilsen, where she met Zvi, who would later become her husband. Bella arrived to Israel in 1946. She became a nurse in Israel and, together with Zvi, started a family. They have two children, eight grandchildren, and 15 great-grandchildren. ”This March of the Living moves me, because it is taking place exactly 80 years from the day I escaped with my last strength.
