In an era in which Nazism is operating once again among disillusioned young people, and in which revisionists are trying to deny the great horror of the Holocaust, it is appropriate for testimonies, such as this one, to come forth to affirm the truth of that dark period in current history and to uplift the hope for a brighter future for generations to come. Frieda story gives:
Frieda was asked by Director Steven Spielberg to add her testimony of survival to the Shoah (Holocaust) Project, as well as the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. and Jerusalem, and was able to add into the permanent record her faith in Yeshua as Messiah. This recording of Frieda performing was made almost 80 years ago, when Frieda was only 19 years old.
