Abstract/Description
Holocaust survivors Ruth and Michael Novice discuss their experiences
during the Holocaust as part of the Philip N. Backstrom Survivor Lecture Series held during Northeastern
University's annual Holocaust Awareness Week.
Ruth Novice, originally from Hamburg, Germany, was a young child when the war began and escaped to England
with her family. She discusses what things were like for Jews in Germany right after the Nazis came to power.
Her husband Michael Novice, originally from Warsaw, Poland, was smuggled out of the Warsaw Ghetto and
ended up doing forced labor at an ironworks factory before being shipped to Auschwitz. He survived the death march
from Auschwitz and was later in Buchenwald and Theresienstadt before being liberated.
Notes
