MIAMI Hilda Frenkel is a tiny superhero.Thats how her son describes the almost 100-year-old Holocaust survivor, who will celebrate her birthday on Sunday virtually with her three children and two 20-something grandchildren.
When she realized her 100th birthday celebration would have to be canceled, her main concern was her loved ones getting sick.
It just makes me especially happy that shes reached the age of 100 despite everything he did to try to destroy her family.Recalling the Holocaust, Hilda said she was surrounded by atrocities.
Less than two years later, she met and married her husband, who, too, was a Holocaust survivor.
The greatest lesson I learned from my grandmother is to never be silent in the face of injustice, said Zipporah Frenkel, her 26-year-old granddaughter.
