My mother, Bella Friedman [née Frydman], was born in 1925 in Radom, Poland. In the early 1920s, her mother’s family left for the Americas. They begged the family of six to come, but my grandfather was doing well as a jeweler and didn’t want to leave. Then it was too late. My mom was the sole survivor of the family. As a young child, she always told me her story - the ghettos, the camps, the torture, the survival, losing her entire family. She had a happy ending with three children, eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. In 1996, she participated in the March of the Living. “I want people to know our story and to remember.”
