Ruth Posner BEM is a Polish-born British Holocaust survivor who, along with the rest of her family, was forced into the Warsaw Ghetto. While the rest of her family was murdered in the Treblinka extermination camp, Ruth and her aunt managed to escape the Ghetto and survived the War in hiding. She has since led a remarkable life, with a successful career as a dancer and actress. Additionally, Ruth is also one of the models in our national billboard campaign to raise awareness of antisemitism, a first-of-its-kind for Britain. She was awarded the British Empire Medal in the New Year Honours for 2022 for her work educating about the Holocaust.
In this episode, Ruth recounts her harrowing ordeal during the Holocaust, and shares her thoughts and feelings on modern antisemitism and Holocaust-denial.
