A survivor can be defined as an individual who not only beats the odds but also as one who has the courage to share her story in order to educate a generation.
Such is the case for Holocaust survivor Gabriele Silten. She has taken the terrifying and painful memories of her childhood and dedicated much of her adult life to sharing her story so that others may remember.
Her story begins in Berlin, Germany just as Hitler was coming to power.
Her family quickly decided to relocate to Holland in 1938 as Silten explains, “to flee National Socialism.” Her parents chose Holland because it had been neutral in World War I and was expected to remain neutral during World War II.
