Eighty years after the liberation of Auschwitz, an Auckland woman whose father survived the notorious N**i death camp is urging New Zealanders to keep learning about the Holocaust.

Monday 27 January is International Holocaust Remembrance Day and events will be held around New Zealand to remember the six million Jews killed by Adolf Hi**er’s Third Reich.

Esther Haver’s father Sol Filler was born in the small Polish town of Brzozow and spent years in labour camps, and later death camps, before incredibly surviving the N**i-led death march from Auschwitz as the Allied Forces approached In January 1945.

Thousands of more than 30,000 emaciated camp inmates, mainly Jews, who began the march died or were shot by the N**is en route because they were too weak to keep up.

Sol Filler’s miraculous survival inspired Esther Haver to get involved in Holocaust education, taking youth groups to Poland for more than a decade to walk her father's same steps to life and freedom.

Esther Haver says many New Zealanders are unaware of the horrors of the Holocaust and misinformation, particularly on social media, leaves them confused about what truly happened.

“With fewer and fewer Holocaust survivors alive to tell their eyewitness accounts today, we must keep telling their stories. We must keep teaching our children about the dangers of hating people because of their religion or race,” Esther Haver says.

****
În urmă cu 82 de ani încercarea de lovitură de stat organizată de legionari s-a consumat cu Pogromul din București. Cinci luni mai târziu, 28 iunie 1941, intrarea României în război alături de Hi**er și Mussolini avea să fie prilej pentru Pogromul de la Iași, un genocid mult mai sângeros. Peste alte patru luni, genocidul de la Odessa... In România antisemită orice conflict politic armat a fost un prilej pentru distrugerea evreilor.
