“Christine Share my story with others & let‘s never forget we need to build a better world “ Tova Friedman -6 when liberated from Auschwitz. I am with her in 2010 on the 65th anniversary that she now celebrates as her 2nd birthday. She will have seen someone storming the capital with a camp Auschwitz shirt on. Tova was one of only a few children who survived. She was just one year old when her family was taken to a ghetto:concentration camp.

TheBookHippie Out of the 5,000 children in her town, she said, she was one of five to survive. 3y
CarolineLovesToRead Thanks for sharing! I've stacked her story to read.
How can anyone wear that shirt and how can someone make a shirt like that. :(

TheBookHippie @CarolineLovesToRead It pains me to know she‘ll see it more than the idiots wearing it. She‘s very current in news and goes all over speaking and meeting people you can look up her videos she is amazing https://www.preserveauschwitz.org/survivor/tova-friedman/ 3y

CarolineLovesToRead @TheBookHippie thanks for the link 3y
GingerAntics These people all need to be locked up for the safety of the public and the world. 3y
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie 🤯🤯🤯 there are actually people so out of touch with reality, so lacking in logic that most Republicans voters believe Biden started the insurrection and not the man who literally told them to do it an hour before it happened. 🤯🤯🤯 3y
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics they‘ve always been around they just currently for the next 13-ish days have someone in the White House who wants to use them for personal gain. 3y
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics huge groups of them in Michigan the last 30 years or lomger 3y
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie these people are seriously dangerous. I‘m just wondering what‘s going to stop them from try this again next week, and next month? These geniuses are so stupid they won‘t understand that‘s not going to put Trump back in the White House. 3y
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics nope they don‘t get it. It‘s WACO Oklahoma City etc ... but you know they got their Supreme Court judge to outlaw abortion so that‘s all the voters of him care about 🤷🏽‍♀️ the rest well they don‘t condone that of course ... the things people sell their soul for ...and of course socialism that is scary seriously people think a 50 year moderate is a socialist 🤯 3y
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie Yeah, that one gets me. Then again, they think socialist and communist are either the same thing or just a step apart which is so far from the truth, even the dictionary bloody well explains it. SMH (edited) 3y
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie if you‘re anything but their kind of extreme, you‘re a socialist, communist extremist. 3y
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics apparently 🤣 I‘ve been called so many names I lose track ✌🏻😂🤪 3y
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie yes, you‘re such an extremist. You believe everyone is worthy of love. Yet somehow they all claim to have faith in a magical man who was literally executed for the exact same thing. Funny how that works out. 3y
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics a brown social justice warrior executed by the state...who when arose spoke to a woman and told her to tell people about it :) (edited) 3y
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I don‘t understand how they‘re all “do you have a personal relationship with Jesus” and “Jesus is my lord and saviour” when they LITERALLY riot against all of that. Don‘t even get me started on the “JESUS 2020” flag from yesterday. 3y
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics they erected a cross and a noose and many Jesus 2020 flags 🤪🤷🏽‍♀️ So normal Wednesday .... they wouldn‘t know the Divine, if they did they‘d know it‘s in them apparently they‘ve silenced it 3y
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie they call that sacrilege because Jesus is outside of you. All you can have is the “in dwelling of the Holy Spirit.” 🙄 I started silencing that, but luckily my inner divine would not be silenced and I came to my senses. This “in dwelling” but there is no divine in humanity because humanity is just evil. 🤦🏼‍♀️ No idea. It makes no bloody sense. 3y
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics They are so cuckoo. BAHAHAHA. Oh well. Bless their hearts. 3y

THE WORLD SHOULD BE ASHAMED NOT ME!I met Tova 9 years ago today. She considers today her new birthday, the day she was liberated at 6 years old, we sang happy birthday to her. I touched the numbers on her arm. I looked intently into her eyes as she was talking "Speak up, always against injustice"
Remember, it didn't start with gas chambers. It started with politicians dividing the people with " us vs them." It started with intolerance and hate ...

GingerAntics It‘s frightening and frustrating how close we‘re getting to doing this all over again. 5y
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics yup I scream, no one listens it seems. We can not stay on this path. 5y
GingerAntics Totally agree. If we don‘t make some changes, it‘s going to be immigrants or another religious group. We‘re too smart to do this again, but hate apparently continues on. 5y

January 27, 2010 Holocaust Remembrance Day I went to meet Tova Friedman, one of the youngest people to survive Auschwitz, one of the few Jewish children to survive. I got to hear her speak to students and she talked with us individually after. She asked each one of us to promise to tell her story and never forgot the atrocities she saw and experienced. I will never forget that day.

27 January 1945,the gates of the Nazi concentration camp near the Polish city of Oswiecim, better known by its German name of Auschwitz, were opened and the few survivors freed.Tova Friedman, circled in the pictures the day she was freed, was the youngest survivor of Auschwitz. She was amazing to talk with. "TELL MY STORY -NEVER FORGET-make the world a better place. Speak up because it happens so fast.It's Holocaust Remembrance Day today.speak UP.
