On Sunday, Jan. 4, over 200 people attended a talk at the Chabad of Fountain Hills Edelman Jewish Center, where Eva Schneider, a 92-year-old Holocaust survivor, described her journey from subjugation to freedom.
Originally hidden as a young Jewish girl in Poland, Schneider’s family moved several times but ultimately was discovered, according to a press release. Schneider was deported by the Nazis to the concentration camp of Auschwitz (and later Mauthausen) when she was 11 years old. She endured deprivations, hardship and torture but finally was freed when the camps were liberated in 1945.
Today, Schneider lives in California and since there are so few survivors left who can give first-hand accounts of the Holocaust, she makes time to travel and share her story.
