Felicia Fuksman was born in Lodz, Poland. She lived with her parents, two brothers, and two sisters. Felicia's father was a tailor. The family was very poor. Felicia was studying to be a nurse when the Germans attacked Poland. Her father and brother Simon were seized on the street and taken for labor. They weren't seen again. Felicia worked in the ghetto as a "nurse" in a fur factory, where she received extra food. Her older sister Rachel died of tuberculosis. Her younger sister Esther froze to death begging for food on the street. In August 1944, Felicia was deported to Ravensbrück concentration camp and, several months later, to a Nazi labor camp at Wittenberge, Germany. Throughout her long ordeal, Felicia was helped and inspired by her friend Bronia Lewkowitz. After the war, Felicia returned to her family's apartment in Lodz and was cruelly rebuffed by a Polish woman, the new occupant. Felicia was the only one in her family who survived. In 1950, she immigrated to New Orleans where she met Max Fuksman, a fellow survivor from Lodz. They married and had three daughters and 5 grandchildren. Max Fuksman died in a car accident on April 25th, 1982. Felicia Fuksman passed away on October 17th, 2012.
Holocaust Survivor Reflections: Stories of Courage

The Holocaust didn't happen in a vacuum. People who lived in the nearby towns could not say they didn't know. They could see the people, smell the burning flesh and hear the noise. They were NOT innocent bystanders. Many were even happy that it was happening.
The hatred that inspired the Holocaust has not died. In fact it is stronger than ever and growing in the world. Jews are afraid to walk the streets of European cities wearing the signs of their faith without being assaulted. Politicians in many European countries are telling Jews to either deal with it or leave. And in Universities not only in Europe but in the United States, it is open season on Jews. It is permitted to abuse, assault and discriminate against Jews. The excuse for all of this is anti-Israeli sentiment. But in fact that is a fancy name for the old hatred: ANTI-SEMITISM.
It is only a matter of time before Jews are banned from US Universities, driven out of Europe for good, or murdered by the riled up masses. The old hatred has not died, it is stronger than ever among the Liberal Elites who wish to kill the Jew for the "sins" of their brethren in Israel.
To this we say:
NEVER AGAIN!!!!
