Livia Fränkel and Elisabeth Masur-Kischinowski from Stockholm share a similar fate. Both women were deported as teenagers with their Jewish families from Hungary and Czechoslovakia, respectively, and survived various ghettos, the Auschwitz extermination camp, and women’s satellite camps of the Neuengamme concentration camp in Hamburg before being liberated from the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Their parents did not survive. We will talk to both of them about the time of their persecution, their life after surviving the Holocaust, the passing on of memories in their families and their commitment against forgetting until today.
The event will be held in English only.
Moderation: Ulrike Jensen (Neuengamme Concentration Camp Memorial)
