NOTES : Tova Friedman was born on Sep 10, 1938 in Poland, in a village near Lodz. Under Nazi occupation, the family was forced to live in the Tomaszów Mazowiecki ghetto and then sent to concentration camps. At Auschwitz Tova avoided being sent to the death march by hiding with her mother under dead bodies ...She appears in a famous photo shot after the liberation of the camp on January 27, 1945. The photo pictures: (1) Tova Friedman; (2) Sarah Ludwig; and (3) Michael Bornstein.
After the war, Tova and her mother reunited with her father (he also miraculously survived at Dachau). They came to the United States in 1950 ... Tova grew up in Brooklyn. She became a social worker and eventually the executive director of Jewish Family Service in northern New Jersey ... For a joke of fate, all the three children pictured in the photo lived in New Jersey, without knowing of each other. They finally reunited on June 4, 2017.
