Hear about Tova's life as one of the youngest living survivors of the Holocaust
About The Author:
Tova Friedman was born in 1938, just one year before the outbreak of the Second World War. She was one of hundreds of Jewish children living in the Polish town of Tomaszów Mazowiecki at the time. At just five years old, she and her mother were sent to Auschwitz as Jewish prisoners of war. By the war's end, only five children from Tomaszów were still alive. Tova is one of the few living survivors to recount her experience of the Holocaust and is a campaigner against antisemitism. After teaching at Hebrew University in Jerusalem and living in Israel for a decade, she became the director of a non-profit social service agency in New Jersey for 25 years. She is a very proud mother of four and grandmother of eight. She is a therapist, and lives in Highland Park in New Jersey, US. Recently she has gained a new audience with her family-run TikTok, which has over 500k followers and 9M+ likes, and her videos have attracted 75 million views.
