Video: Holocaust Survivor Talks Of Horror Of Watching Nazi Death Squad Kill Her Mother
'I never forgave myself for losing my cousin'
On Friday, January 27, 2023, most nations observe the Holocaust Memorial Day or Holocaust Remembrance Day and Sky News was able to speak to Hannah Lewis about her experience at a labor camp in Poland under Nazi occupation where many in her family were murdered.
Lewis, who is now 85 years old and living in north London, Hannah shared her experience with Sky’s Sophy Ridge and reveals why she never forgave herself for losing her younger cousin.
Discrimination against Jews began immediately after the seizure of power. Following a month-long series of attacks by members of the SA on Jewish businesses and synagogues, on 1 April 1933 Hitler declared a national boycott of Jewish businesses.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
Her family was rounded up by Hitler’s troops and forced to march to a labor camp in the Polish village of Adampol in 1943.
Hannah’s father, Adam, escaped from the camp to join the partisans, a Jewish resistance movement during World War II, and returned to warn of an imminent Nazi raid, the night before his wife’s death.
Hannah’s mother, Haya, refused to flee, fearing her daughter, who had fallen ill with a high temperature and suspected typhoid, would not survive.
“For as long as I live, I will always wonder how she got through that night,” Hannah told Sky’s Sophy Ridge.
“How she made the decision she made? Was it right?”
The next morning, Hannah heard “yelling” and “screaming” after the arrival of the Einsatzgruppen, the Nazis’ mobile killing unit responsible for the mass shooting of Jews.
“Suddenly there was a whack on the door and my mother – with great dignity – got on her knees, took me in her arms, and gave me a hug and a kiss,” Hannah said.
“She didn’t run, she didn’t make a sound. She walked to the door, opened the door and closed it firmly behind her.
“I waited for her to come back… but she didn’t come back.”
Hannah, an only child, went to look for her mother and watched as she and others were “shoved” in front of a well in the village.
She remembers her mother appeared calm but wouldn’t give eye contact to her.
