Henia looks incredible considering the things she has been through.
An amazing women (whatever she says about it herself!)
What a moving programme - the story about the piece of bread......
I read an article about Henia and she was in hospital recently. A doctor asked about the number tattooed on her arm. She told him that she had been in Auschwitz and the doctor did not know what Auschwitz was.
Excellent programme that should have been on a lot earlier so a few others who seem to forget about what happened can have their knowledge of the holocaust inproved

I agree - it seems so important that we do not forget.
Rabbi Julie Newburger was on GMS with Clare Balding (I think) and she felt it should be required viewing in senior schools. I have recorded it ready to watch it when I can do so without interruption.
I read this lady's remarkable story in the Mirror on Saturday but didn't see the documentary on Sunday evening.
What horrified me about her account was the fact a female nazi officer delighted in choosing people whether it be mothers or kids to be killed and while this Jewish lady worked away she recalled how the ashes from the burning bodies fell on them - very harrowing to listen to but intellectual.
For what she went through she looked incredible.
Also read another lady's account of the holocaust.
She had been saved by Oskar Schlinder to work in one of his factories because she had small hands and she said to this day she owes her life to him.

I know - just when you think you know about every horror and degradation inflicted on the camp inhabitants.

Henia and the millions like you, I salute you.
