edit data

Margot Friedländer was a German survivor of the Holocaust and public speaker. She and her family were persecuted by the Nazis for being Jews. Born and raised in Berlin, she was forced to go into hiding when her mother and brother were arrested by the Gestapo in 1943. Margot was captured in April 1944 and deported to Theresienstadt concentration camp, but survived. After emigrating to the United States with her husband in 1946, she eventually returned to live in Berlin in 2010 and began speaking to German youth about her experiences in Nazi Germany and surviving against all odds. She received various honours and awards for promoting human rights and fighting against antisemitism, including the Federal Cross of Merit.

Quotes by Margot Friedländer (?)

“To co nám chybělo, nebyla odvaha, ale představivost. I kdybychom nakrásně přečetli celý Hitlerův Mein Kampf, nebrali bychom ho vážně. Nás se to netýkalo.”
― Margot Friedlander, "Try to Make Your Life": A Jewish Girl Hiding in Nazi Berlin
