At age 95, Fanny Starr is one of the last remaining holocaust survivor speakers. Fanny Starr will share her story of what life was like living in several Nazi concentration camps including Auschwitz. For the past 40 years, Fanny Starr has dedicated her life to sharing her story of torture, survival, and tragedy in hopes to silence those who believed the Holocaust never happened.
