Current AffairsZdenka Fantlova on her Holocaust experience: "We all have a blueprint"
On Tuesday, Jewish communities in the Czech Republic are commemorating Yom
ha Shoah or Holocaust Remembrance Day which is observed around the
anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising in 1943. The names of Czech
Holocaust victims will be read out during ceremonies in Prague and a
former concentration camp in Terezin. Around 80,000 Czech Jews perished in
the Holocaust, among them the whole family of Zdenka Fantlova, who was
herself imprisoned in several concentration camps: Terezin, Auschwitz,
Gross-Rosen and Mauthausen until she was liberated from Bergen-Belsen.
Here she recalls what followed after the war broke out and that it was
sometimes little things that saved people's lives.
