Abstract/Description
Holocaust survivor Freida Grayzel discusses her experiences
during the Holocaust as part of the Philip N. Backstrom Survivor Lecture Series held during Northeastern
University's annual Holocaust Awareness Week.
Grayzel, originally from Tomaszow Mazowiecki, Poland, was a young child when the war began. She did forced labor
in her hometown's ghetto and spent time in smaller concentration camps before being transported to Auschwitz.
In Auschwitz she and her cousin survived by living in a barracks with twins who underwent medical experiments; her cousin
and mother also survived the camp and they were later reunited with her father.
Notes
