Tova Friedman has the demeanor of someone with little time to waste.
There’s an economy to her words, but the directness with which she speaks doesn’t in any way minimize the power of her message: Humanity must never forget the horrors of the Holocaust.
Horrors that Friedman, 86 and still working as a therapist, witnessed firsthand.
She’s one of a dwindling number of Holocaust survivors, and as the world observes the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and International Holocaust Remembrance Day on Monday, she knows that her message needs to be amplified for new generations so that those who suffered and died did not do so in vain.
