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.

Holocaust survivors visit Auschwitz on 80th anniversary of death camp liberation
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.

Holocaust survivors visit Auschwitz on 80th anniversary of death camp liberation
EXCLUSIVE: April 22nd, 2025 - Auschwitz, Poland: Dvora Weinstein (Rosenberg) Year of birth: 1936. Place of birth: Ukraine. Dvora Weinstein (Rosenberg) was born in 1936 in Khotin, Ukraine. Her childhood was happy, but in 1941 everything changed. War broke out, Khotin was occupied, and her house caught fire. Her mother ran into the house and managed to save the sewing machine head. The deportation to Transnistria began with a long march, without water or food. Corpses were left on the side of the road. At one point, parents were told that their children would be loaded onto carts to make the convoy lighter. The mother put Dvora and her sister Riva into the cart. Dvora, sensing danger, grabbed her sister's hand and jumped out of the cart with her. The next day, it was learned that all the children in the carts had been murdered. The deportees crossed the Dniester River on rickety rafts, and many fell and drowned. Then they continued walking in the deep snow. One night, at an abandoned train station, many froze to death. Their bodies, half-naked, including that of her two-and-a-half-year-old brother, were loaded into a wheelbarrow in the morning, without a word or a tear. After that, Dvora's grandparents also died. Soldiers, who were celebrating Christmas, wanted to have fun and ordered the Jews to stand in the cold. Anyone who fell was shot. Dvora moved a lot to survive, but Riva could not move and her legs froze. The mother continued walking, carrying Riva in her arms. The journey ended in Popovich. The mother went out to look for work. Dvora, five and a half years old, was left to look after Riva. One day Riva did not wake up. When her mother returned with some food, Dvora told her: "Riva doesn't need food anymore.” The two wandered between villages until liberation in 1944. After the war, they reunited with her wounded father and set off for Romania. Dvora immigrated to Israel along with 500 children. Today, Dvora has a wonderful family – 2 children, 5 grandchil

Holocaust survivors visit Auschwitz on 80th anniversary of death camp liberation
EXCLUSIVE: April 23rd, 2025 - Auschwitz, Poland: Israel Shaked. "I was born in the summer of 1942 in Hungary, the youngest brother in a family of 3 brothers and 3 sisters. In early 1943, my father was taken for forced labor at the ammunition factories. He contracted tuberculosis and passed away a few months later". Israel was one year old at the time of his death and never had the chance to know him. "With the arrival of the Germans in Hungary, life changed beyond recognition. We were gathered in the ghetto in Debrecen, where we stayed for several months under harsh conditions, with violence, hunger, and disease. On one of the Saturdays, we were loaded onto a train on our way to Auschwitz. After several days, when we were deep into Poland, the three trains that had left Debrecen suddenly stopped. Today I know that the main reason for the stop was the Austrians' demand for laborers to help clear the rubble in the city due to the Allied bombings. "We stayed in Vienna for several months and then began the death march towards the Mauthausen concentration camp. We were liberated on May 1945 from a sub-camp of Mauthausen and began our journey home. The journey lasted about two weeks, and when we arrived at the village, we quickly realized we were not wanted. "We heard a rumor about a Jewish institution helping Jews to immigrate to Israel. After a year of preparations, we boarded the immigrant ship 'Knesset Yisrael.' The ship was captured by the British on the way, and we were deported to Cyprus. We stayed there for about a year, and in November 1947, we immigrated to Israel. "There were 130 people in our large and illustrious family, and only 10 of us survived. Israel is married, a father of 3 children, and a grandfather of 5 grandchildren."

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.

"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.

EXCLUSIVE: April 22nd, 2025 - Auschwitz, Poland: Arnold Clevs, Year of birth: 1933. Place of birth: Lithuania. When the Germans invaded in 1941, Arnold's family was captured by Lithuanian soldiers who transported them to the infamous Ninth Fort. Arnold's mother convinced an officer that her husband had been an officer in the Lithuanian army during World War I, and they were released from prison. The family was sent later to a labor camp" the mother and sister were moved to the women's section, and Arnold and his father to the men's section. The father became responsible for running the camp. When he realized that SS soldiers were collecting children for extermination, he hid Arnold and four other children. After two weeks, the children were transferred to Birkenau and sent straight to the gas chambers. At the very last minute, a resourceful boy overheard an SS soldier say he needed workers. That boy instructed the children to behave like adults and they were taken to work in the camp. Arnold was separated from his father and sent to Dachau in a famous group of 131 Lithuanian boys who were saved from the crematoria due to a malfunction in the facility. One night the American Air Force bombers destroyed the camp. All around – burned bodies. Some of the people were so hungry, they ate from the bodies. It was the most shocking sight he had ever seen. (Arnold's father was murdered in Dachau.) After the liberation, his mother and his sister found him in Budapest. Arnold was a dentist in the US for 54 years. In 2020, after the death of his wife Batya, Arnold immigrated to Israel and settled in Jerusalem, reuniting with his son and daughter, who had immigrated to Israel many years before him. Arnold has 2 children and 4 grandchildren. (Ziv Koren/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)

EXCLUSIVE: April 23rd, 2025 - Auschwitz, Poland: Israel Shaked. "I was born in the summer of 1942 in Hungary, the youngest brother in a family of 3 brothers and 3 sisters. In early 1943, my father was taken for forced labor at the ammunition factories. He contracted tuberculosis and passed away a few months later". Israel was one year old at the time of his death and never had the chance to know him. "With the arrival of the Germans in Hungary, life changed beyond recognition. We were gathered in the ghetto in Debrecen, where we stayed for several months under harsh conditions, with violence, hunger, and disease. On one of the Saturdays, we were loaded onto a train on our way to Auschwitz. After several days, when we were deep into Poland, the three trains that had left Debrecen suddenly stopped. Today I know that the main reason for the stop was the Austrians' demand for laborers to help clear the rubble in the city due to the Allied bombings. "We stayed in Vienna for several months and then began the death march towards the Mauthausen concentration camp. We were liberated on May 1945 from a sub-camp of Mauthausen and began our journey home. The journey lasted about two weeks, and when we arrived at the village, we quickly realized we were not wanted. "We heard a rumor about a Jewish institution helping Jews to immigrate to Israel. After a year of preparations, we boarded the immigrant ship 'Knesset Yisrael.' The ship was captured by the British on the way, and we were deported to Cyprus. We stayed there for about a year, and in November 1947, we immigrated to Israel. "There were 130 people in our large and illustrious family, and only 10 of us survived. Israel is married, a father of 3 children, and a grandfather of 5 grandchildren."
