Holocaust survivor makes emotional return to Auschwitz
In an emotional journey that served as her ultimate triumph over the Nazis, an elderly Borough Park resident who survived the horrors of the Holocaust paid a return visit to the infamous Auschwitz death camp — this time as a free woman.
It was the first time Bronia Brandman, 86, had seen Auschwitz since her liberation nearly 72 years ago.
For her return trip, Brandman was accompanied by a delegation comprised of officers of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), as well as members of the group 40 Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF).
