US EditionAs Holocaust survivors continue to vanish, one of the oldest in Miami shares her story
- Lucy Lowell, a 103-year-old Holocaust survivor now living in Miami Beach, shared her story in a Miami Herald article by Lauren Costantino.
- Her survival followed a forced 1944 transport from a ghetto to Auschwitz during unsanitary conditions amid a typhus epidemic killing thousands of Jews.
- Lowell slowly rebuilt her life in New York City and later Miami Beach, receiving recently returned stolen family books through JewishGen’s recovery projects.
- The Claims Conference estimates that about 1,400 Holocaust survivors over age 100 are still living, but projects that half of all survivors will pass away within the next six years. President Gideon Taylor emphasized the urgency of capturing their stories before their experiences are lost.
- Survivors like Lowell and Malka Schmulovitz emphasize the importance of sharing experiences to prevent forgetting; Lowell's message advocates against hate and discrimination.
