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 ghettoes and then sent to concentration camps. At Auschwitz she avoided being sent to the death march by hiding with her mother beneath dead corpses.
She appears in a famous photo shot after the liberation of the camp on January 27, 1945.
After the war, Tova and her mother were reunited with her father (he also miraculously survived). They came to the United States in 1950
She was executive director of Jewish Family Service of Somerset, Hunterdon, and Warren Counties.
