Iby's Story: Sharing European Memories
About Iby Knill
Holocaust survivor Iby Knill was interviewed by Year 10 students from Bradford Academy as part of the Sharing European Memories project, and related her experiences as a young Jewish girl in Czechoslovakia and Hungary during the Second World War.
In June 1944 Iby was transported to Auschwitz-Birkenau, which she later left by volunteering for labour at a hospital unit. Iby was eventually freed by Allied Forces whilst on a march from the camp on Easter Sunday 1945.
Today Iby is a member of the Leeds Holocaust Survivors Friendship Association and continually campaigns to ensure the events of the Holocaust are never forgotten. Iby is featured in a special film produced by the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust commemorating the 65th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau on 27 January 2010 (see Related Links below)
