'Triumph over Evil': a Holocaust survivor celebrated the 104 anniversary in the circle of 400 descendants. A PHOTO

104-year-old Shoshan Ovits survived Auschwitz concentration camp 74 years ago, according to Israeli media.

In the camp, she was separated from her mother, who was transferred to the Nazi doctor Joseph Mengele. He conducted deadly experiments on prisoners. This was told to her grandson Meir Rosenstein by an Israeli reporter Sivan Rahav Meir.

After the Holocaust, Ovits met a man who later became her husband. Due to genocide, he lost his wife and four daughters.

The couple together looked for surviving relatives and lived in Austria before settling in Haifa, where they had two daughters and two sons.

On her birthday, Ovits asked only one thing - to get together in a holy place for the Jews. Her children and grandchildren did everything to make this happen.

"We don't have an exact number, but there are probably 400 grandchildren and descendants," Shoshana's eldest granddaughter, Panini Friedman, said.

“It was not easy to organize such a rare event,” says Friedman, who lives in Belgium.

The woman added that even 400 people are not all relatives.

“We’re missing about 10% of them here,” she added.

At the celebration, which symbolized the triumph over the Nazis, "everyone was with tears in their eyes," Friedman said.

Photos from the event show how a huge crowd poses in front of the Western Wall, with men on one side and women on the other, according to Jewish tradition.

“It was very emotional,” Friedman said.
