| Summary: | Duration: 01:22:00
Kitty Felix was the spirited, independent-minded second child of a well-educated Jewish family, growing up in Bielsko, Poland, in the 1930s. In 1943, at the age of seventeen, she was sent to Auschwitz along with her mother. She goes back with her grown son to the camp where she survived for two years. She revisits the barracks, the work areas, and the latrines, recalling what existence was like there. While this is clearly painful for her, she endures it to tell her story – which is the story of millions of others as well. She describes the support she and her mother gave each other and the things they did to survive. "You are here," she tells her son, "just to see that it is true, that it was true, and you can tell your children." |
