International Holocaust Remembrance Day: Survivor tells how mother saved her life, reveals message to UN

AND Holocaust survivors who described the genocide as a “horrifying” and “incredible part of human history” tells Fox News Digital that she will spread the message of “Don’t hate, love” when she addresses the UN General Assembly on Monday.

Marianne Miller was born in Budapest, Hungary during World War II and traveled from Israel to speak in New York on International Holocaust Remembrance Day. During the Holocaust, Miller says she was in her mother’s arms when she managed to escape the line of women marching to the train station, where a train was waiting to take them to Auschwitz.

“I’m a Holocaust survivor. I can still say in the first pronoun, ‘I was there,'” Miller told Fox News Digital. “Every day Holocaust survivors are leaving us and there will be very few left.”

“That didn’t happen in the Middle Ages. it happened only 80 years ago,” She added. “I have come to represent the 6 million people who cannot tell their stories.”

Miller said on a “cold, freezing December night” in 1944, her mom came up with a plan that ended up saving both of their lives.

“There is a peaceful march of mothers holding their children. The direction is the train station and the destiny is Auschwitz,” Miller said. “I’m in my mother’s arms, and then she does something that no one before or after her has done.”

Miller recalled how her mother tore off the yellow star she was wearing and then ran from the line, hiding under a door and thinking no one had seen her.

“There was a young, Hungarian Nazi, maybe 18 or 19 years old, running after her with hate in his eyes, pointing a gun at her chest, swearing at her and telling her how dare you refuse the yellow star,” Miller said, adding that the soldier threatened to kill her and force her mother to join the line without her.

Miller told Fox News Digital that her mother then took off her gold wedding ring and offered it to the soldier.

“Look, this little child. She’s sleeping peacefully in my arms. She didn’t do anything to you. Please let me go. Take this ring,” Miller recalled her mother saying in the moment.

“The young Nazi was turning the ring in his hand. Maybe he found a little humanity or mercy this minute,” Miller added. “My mother ran away into the darkness. And he didn’t follow her.

“We saved ourselves,” Miller said, describing the scene as one of “the many miracles that I’m here today and can tell my story.”

Last year, Miller appeared alongside her son Adir Miller — an Israeli comedian — in “The Ring,” a film inspired by her story.

Miller has also participated in the International March of the Living, annual Holocaust Remembrance events, and educational programming. The non-profit organization says she “shared her story of survival with thousands of participants who joined commemorative marches through Budapest through Hungary and Auschwitz-Birkenau in Poland” and there she “expressed her dream of addressing world leaders at the UN to tell her story .”

He helped arrange Miller’s visit UN Headquarters, where he is expected to speak to more than 1,000 people.

Miller told Fox News Digital that the “Holocaust was the most terrible, handsome, terrifying, incredible part of human history” and “God created people to love, not to hate.”

“The Holocaust would never, never, never happen again,” Miller said, describing what her message would be to the U.N. “Never again. Never again. And please help us get our hostages back. Don’t hate. Don’t hate. , love.
