About the Author
Edith Slomovits was born in Chust, Czechoslovakia on August 18th, 1927. During World War II, the Nazis placed Edith and her family in Auschwitz, a concentration camp, later, moving Edith to Taucha, a work camp. March to Freedom: A Memoir of the Holocaust documents Edith’s incredible experiences from the time the Nazis invaded her hometown until her return home after the war about a year later. Unlike some books that focus on the negative aspects of the holocaust, March to Freedom shows the positive: enduring hardships, sabotaging the Nazi regime, saving others’ lives, and maintaining hope and faith. Following WWII, Edith began her recovery in a displaced persons camp in Germany, where she continued her education and met her husband. After Edith’s marriage to Michael Singer, they moved to Israel, where their two children were born. Later, they settled permanently in Los Angeles. Edith Singer continued her education by earning a teaching credential at the University of Judaism and has spent most of her life teaching children and educating the public about the threat of intolerance. Edith was interviewed for Stephen Spielberg’s Shoah Project, and a portion of that interview was shown on a Barbara Walters report on 20/20. Edith has spoken regularly at the Museum of Tolerance and at many public and private schools and colleges, and she says, “I am always pleased to bring my message, of the danger of ignorance and the importance of fighting for what is right, to people of all ages.”
