Sonia Warshawski

 


#WomenYouShouldKnow

At the age of 15, Sonia Warshawski 48689, watched her mother enter the gas chamber doors in the Majdanek Nazi concentration camp.

Sonia survived slave labor and atrocities in Auschwitz-Birkenau and Bergen-Belson, then survived being shot in the chest while the death camp was being liberated.

Happy Mother's Day, Sonia. Stay well. 

48689 is the number tattooed on her arm.
