Listen Later

  • To mark this year's Yom HaShoah and the 75th anniversary since
  • liberation we hear from two survivors:
    • Zoli Langer, who lives in Los Angeles, was born in 1927 in
    • Minai, a village near the small town of Užhorod, Czechoslovakia,
      (now Ukraine). He, his parents, and 5 siblings were deported to
      Auschwitz in the spring of 1944. He was the only one to
      survive. He describes his life before and during the war and
      ultimately his liberation in April 1945, 75 years ago this
      month. Recorded November, 2019.
    • Rokhl Zicherman lives in Los Angeles and is an Auschwitz
    • survivor from Carpathian Czechoslovakia. She loves to sing with
      her two sisters who don't live very close, but they often talk by
      phone. Here she sings In Auschwitzer Lager, describing a fate
      common to many the many teenagers from this region who were
      deported to Auschwitz in 1944: being separated from their mothers
      who were killed at Auschwitz, often due to holding on to younger
      children of theirs. She also sings a Holocaust 'Dem Milners
      Trern', a Holocaust version of the song Dem Milner's Trern,
      written by Mark Varshavski around the turn of the 20th
      century. Recorded in January 2019. Originally aired May 1, 2019.
