Today marks Holocaust Remembrance Day, a day set aside to remember those who suffered more than 60 years ago. Hédi Fried, a Holocaust survivor, is the author of the autobiography, The Road to Auschwitz: Fragments of a Life, edited and translated by Michael Meyer and published by the University of Nebraska Press. Fried commented, "It took me forty years to realize that I am a witness and that it is my task to tell what I experienced." Read more about Hédi on her blog entry at the Huffington Post.

Hédi is featured in the documentary, The Last Survivor, presented by Righteous Pictures. The documentary focuses on genocide awareness, prevention, and survivor advocacy and is working in efforts with the Genocide Prevention Project to promote April as Genocide Prevention month.
