The female SS officers were often worse than the males. Once, during rollcall in Auschwitz, Tova was pulled out of line and beaten by an SS officer for moving a little bit. #jewish #story #history

What were the two scariest times during the Shoah? Everything was scary to a five year-old, but I will never forget the German shepherds. #story #fyp #foryou

Despite attempts to control the spread of diseases, Tova developed TB, Scarlet Fever and diphtheria. The conditions were so bad that many survivors have lasting health conditions, including Tova’s mother who died young, yeara after the war. #shoah #story #fyp #foryou #xyzbca

Can you ever forgive the Nazis and collaborators for what they did? It’s not about an individual, but about a group. How can one person forgive heinous crimes committed against entire groups of people? The question shouldn’t be about forgiveness, but about what we can do to learn from the past. The german government today understand their history, and have been committed to prevent it from happening in the future, despite the increasing amounts of global antisemitism. What can you do to learn more about the history of hatred? #shoah #truth #education #foryou #learn #tiktok

How did your experiences in the Shoah affect you when you first came to America? Because starvation was such an integral part of the camp system, I has some weird eating habits after the war. For example, no matter how much food there was, I always minimally only what I needed. Scars from the camps still affect survivors and their families today, so it’s important to keep in mind that this happened to real people. #truth #history #survival #storytime #fyp #foryou #tovafriedman #today
