#RememberThis

(Alfred) Fredy Hirsch was an educator of children and young people in the Terezín ghetto and the “family camp” at Auschwitz-Birkenau.
The “children's block” in Auschwitz, established on Fredy’s initiative, was an attempt to create a small oasis within the death camp. Its main purpose was to ensure that Auschwitz’s youngest prisoners had, at least for a short time, an environment in which they would be isolated from the tragic reality around them.
#RememberThis: Fredy died in Auschwitz on March 8, 1944. His body was burned in the Birkenau crematorium, together with the remains of the 3,792 murdered prisoners of the Terezín family camp.
Thank you, holocaust.cz, for this information and the usage of materials in making the video honoring Fredy.
