Auschwitz Survivor's Raw Stories Fight Antisemitism

0:00It's March 31st. This is entertainment and celebrity news, today AI-powered stories from the spotlight. At 101 years old, Jeanette Colinca stands as one of France's last Auschwitz survivors, hitting schools near Paris to battle rising, anti-Semitism with her raw first-hand stories. She got arrested in March 1944 as a 19-year-old, crammed into a cattle car with thousands of other French Jews, then tattooed. With number 78,599 upon arrival at the death camp, kids at a local high school recently sat in stunned silence during her 90-minute talk, eyes glued as she shared the humiliation, forced labor, and how she turned into a robot just to survive. What flipped the switch for her was Steven Spielberg's Schindler's list in 1993. His foundation got her talking in 1997, and now with fewer than 30 French Auschwitz survivors left, she's the loudest voice left from the 76,000 deported, where only 2,500 made it back.

1:04France took 50 years to own its role, but Colinca's memoir, books, and visits keep the truth alive, turning young faces into fierce allies against. Hate that never fully died.
