Tova Friedman is one of the youngest survivors of Auschwitz concentration camp and uses her vivid memories to write and speak against anti-Semitism and prejudice.

She joined the host of KAXE/KBXE's Morning Show, Heidi Holtan, to talk about her experience, her new book, and Jewish culture. Click the "Listen" player above to hear the full conversation.

"I am a survivor. That comes with a survivor's obligation to represent one and a half million Jewish children murdered by the Nazis. They cannot speak. So I must speak on their behalf."
