To mark Holocaust Memorial Day, the Prince of Wales, as chairman of the National Holocaust Memorial Trust, commissioned portraits of seven Holocaust survivors, whose childhoods were spent surviving the Nazis.

One of those survivors is 91-year-old Rachel Levy, who survived the Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen concentration camps.

She wasn’t able to speak about the horrors of the Holocaust for many decades, even to her husband, but now shares her story in schools across the country.

In 2019, she was awarded a British Empire Medal for her services to Holocaust education.

Rachel spoke to Emma Barnett on Woman’s Hour about her experience, narrowly escaping the gas chambers of Auschwitz and resettling in the UK.
