Auschwitz survivor's family searches for answers

Season 2025 Episode 24 | 12m 03s

Monday marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp. One of the youngest survivors was an eight-year-old Polish girl named Rutka. She moved to Canada after the war and took the name Rachel Hyams. Decades later, she died by suicide. Rachel’s daughter has been retracing her mother’s steps and allowed Malcolm Brabant to come along on the emotional journey.
