Freddy's Story and Full Video Testimony
Freddy Schreiber was born in Vienna in 1932. He was just six years old when Hitler annexed Austria in 1938, abruptly ending his childhood. Almost overnight, friends turned against him, and antisemitism made it unsafe for him to even walk the streets.
In 1939, his family was torn apart when two of his siblings escaped to England on the Kindertransport. Freddy remained behind with his parents. They were later deported and endured life in concentration camps, surviving until liberation by the Russian army.
On Rosh Hashanah in 1945, Freddy and his parents received a telegram from his brother and sister in England—the first news in six years. It was a moment of profound relief the family would never forget.
In the years that followed, Freddy dedicated himself to sharing his story, ensuring that future generations understand the consequences of hatred and the importance of remembering.
