Rosalie Chris Lerman, Holocaust survivor, dies at 90

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Rosalie Chris Lerman, a survivor of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Nazi death camp who was the wife of the founder of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and a passionate advocate of Holocaust remembrance, has died.

"Some survivors are traumatized, but having survived the war and Auschwitz, my mother felt like everything was possible and she was bound and determined to go out and do it," her daughter said.

"[...] even then, the stories she told were about the small acts of human kindness among the different women prisoners, that she held close to assure herself that Auschwitz was the aberration and the world would become normal again if people could hold on to human kindness," Lerman-Neubauer said.
