Condemned to Remember
on Tuesday the 16th of January, ty and 3rd year students were invited to the eye cinema Galway to hear Tomi Reichental one of the few remaining holocaust survivors left in Ireland talk about his experience of being a Jew during WWII.
Tomi was born in Czechoslovakia in 1935 to Jewish farmers and lived with his family on their farm until he was the age of eight. He and his whole family were then sent to Bergen-Belsen Consentration Camp in 1944, and stayed there until the camp was liberated in 1945. We watched his documentary telling his life story and describing how harsh life was being a Jew. Unfourtunatly Tomi was the only one that survived in his family.
After the documentary we had a question and answering session with Tomi. The questions asked were very interesting and Tomi found some of them quiet hard to answer. He now spends his time traveling to schools all around Ireland, to educate people about
