Holocaust Remembrance Day: the Heartbreaking Story of How Irene Zisblatt Survived Auschwitz

Jan 27, 2023

Like many Holocaust survivors, Zisblatt feels a responsibility to tell her story, so she wrote a book and talked to school groups and other gatherings.

Narrow brushes with death are something every survivor has in common. Zisblatt was literally at the door of the gas chamber, blocking it from closing, so a camp worker pulled her out to shut the opening. Everyone inside was killed, but that same worker threw Zisblatt onto a train that had stopped on the tracks adjacent to that particular gas chamber. She ended up at a different concentration camp, and managed to navigate her way, alone, through the rest of the terror until the war ended.

This year, Holocaust Remembrance Day comes at a time of resurgent antisemitism and extremist incidents.
