Auschwitz and Miriam Friedman Ziegler

Miriam Friedman Ziegler: Now, 70 years later, Ziegler is going back to take a new picture. One that will show she survived. One that will show that the 9-year-old lived through the horrors of Auschwitz and came to Toronto, where she worked day and night for decades, built a life and raised a family, according to Toronto Star. Ziegler, 79, will go to Auschwitz-Birkenau with her daughter, Adrienne Shulman, for the Jan. 27, 2015 commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the camp liberation and In 1945, a Russian army photographer took a picture of a group of children at the fences of Auschwitz. The picture shows 9-year-old Miriam Friedman Ziegler, holding out her arm, tattooed with the number assigned to her. For many, many years I never talked about it or anything. But I felt it my duty to go, to say Here I am, I lived through all this and I m here with my daughter, said Ziegler in an interview with the Star. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
