Naftali Furst is returning to Auschwitz to mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazis ' most notorious death camp.

The 92-year-old is one of a dwindling number of Holocaust survivors able to share first -person accounts of the horrors they endured.

Furst, originally from Bratislava , was just 6 when the Nazis first started implementing measures against the country’s Jews .

On Oct. 7, 2023 , Furst awoke to the Hamas attack on southern Israel , and immediately thought of his granddaughter and her husband.

Furst is one of very few Holocaust survivors still able to travel to Auschwitz , so it’s important for him to be present there to mark the 80th anniversary.

He feels a responsibility to be the mouthpiece for the millions who were killed.
