The world lost another #Auschwitz survivor. With great sadness, we share that Michael Silberstein passed away Saturday evening, April 9.

May his memory be a blessing.

We took this photo of Michael in January 2020 at the 75th Anniversary of the Liberation at
@AuschwitzMuseum Image
On February 10, 1930, Michael was born in Grudziadz, a small Polish town. He was the youngest of 4 children, with 2 sisters & an older brother. Although the family was from Łódź, they moved to Grudziadz for better financial opportunities before Michael was born.
Michael’s father owned a successful dry goods store, allowing the family to live in comfort. Grudziadz had a small Jewish population. Many of the town’s residents were Germans due to its proximity to the German border. The city had an orthodox synagogue Michael's family attended.

Would you please join us in wishing her a wonderful day? Image
Hilda was one of the survivors who came with our Foundation's delegation to @AuschwitzMuseum in January 2020 to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the camp's liberation.
Hilda was born in 1938 in Tarnopol, Poland. As a small child, family friends hid her and her family during the war. So Hilda learned not to cry, make noise, and value a little food. Instead, she would use her imagination to create a toy out of anything, to entertain herself.
