Eva Slonim was a Shoah survivor who lived to tell her story of surviving Auschwitz. Eva was born in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia on the 29th of August in 1931. Before the war, she lived peacefully and attended an orthodox school for Jews. Her dad, Eugene was a textile worker and her mom was named Margaret. Additionally, her uncle and aunt were deported to a death camp, but they were forced to write a letter saying they were okay because the Germans did not want any panic from the family. The Germans arrived to Czechoslovakia and she was at her grandmother’s house and saw the Germans marching through her hometown. Her parents were shaking with fear. After the invasion of Czechoslovakia, the house was ambushed by the Germans and they beat her grandfather.
