Child Holocaust survivor Ruth Leiser Z"L tells her miraculous powerful survival story

A Special tribute to former SBS Yiddish broadcaster, Ruth Leiser Z"L, a Child Holocaust survivor who passed away recently. Ruth was a Child Holocaust survivor, a brave and intelligent lady who left her impact on our Yiddish listeners around Australia. Our listeners loved her and appreciated her talent and her beautiful programs. She retired from SBS at the age of 70. Her contribution to preserve the Yiddish culture and language was extremely valuable. She also dedicated her life to educate the public about the Holocaust and to combat anti-Semitism by telling her miraculous powerful survival story to the students and visitors at the Sydney Jewish Museum. When she was just six years old Ruth, her parents and her younger brother fled their home in Lithuania after Nazi Germany invaded. Ruth's parents insisted on the four of them staying together, and they spent the next four years hiding from the Gestapo. The farmers who helped them put their own safety at extreme risk by hiding the family. I am privileged to have met Ruth and work with her for many years. Today as a tribute to Ruth, and her memory, we will hear her voice again talking about her family’s survivor. I conducted this interview with her in 2004
