Having battled back from a serious lumbar vertebrae injury in 2024, he now sits third on the World Cup rankings in the 500m event and has proven that he is once again a force to be reckoned with. Now, as he lines up in Poland, the question remains: can he pull off another upset and prove that his Milwaukee victory was no fluke?

Despite feeling less than ideal in the lead-up, she proved once again why she is the reigning Olympic champion, outpacing a world-class field with trademark composure and closing speed.

Only two athletes, Haralds Silovs (2010) and Jorien ter Mors (2014 have ever competed in both disciplines at the Olympics Could Fontana be the next to join that elite club Arianna Fontana is the most decorated short track speed skater in Olympic history and Italy's most successful Winter Olympian The 31-year-old puts it down to looking after her body over the years and her "fire" to win And she says Milano Cortina 2026 would be "the perfect way to end my career" Poland’s sprinting star is enjoying a breakthrough season leading the 500m World Cup standings and proving herself as a serious contender on the international stage Her defining moment came earlier this season when she stormed to victory in the USA announcing herself as a force to be reckoned with she has ridden that momentum to maintain her place at the top she has a golden opportunity to shine on home ice and Wójcik will be looking to convert her strong form into another podium finish While Tomaszów Mazowiecki will be buzzing with action a handful of big (Dutch) names will be noticeably absent from the ice For some fans, their absence may be disappointing—but for their rivals, it’s a golden opportunity.

the Jerusalem gathering of Jewish child survivors of the Holocaust Two weeks ago I happened to witness a small miracle I was intrigued to learn that there was an international conference of Jews who had survived the Holocaust as young children taking place not far from my home had been a child when his family was forced into the Czernowitz ghetto The annual gathering, which took place from November 5-8, was sponsored by the World Federation of Jewish Child Survivors of the Holocaust and Descendants I began chatting with the woman sitting next to me told me that she was one of the youngest children to have survived Auschwitz “When the Russians liberated Auschwitz I was five years old,” she said After the liberation they returned to their hometown, Tomaszów-Mazowiecki in order to find out if any other relatives were still alive including 9 siblings and all their children 15,000 Jews had lived in Tomaszów-Mazowiecki before the war but only 300 remained Friedman and her parents immigrated to New York Over the years she managed to find three of the four other girls from Tomaszów-Mazowiecki and since then they had all stayed in touch Frieda Tenenbaum settled in Boston; Rachel (Rutka) Hyams – in Canada A book about these last girls of Tomaszów-Mazowiecki was published in 1998 Friedman never managed to find the fifth girl two of the four women are no longer with us,” Friedman remarked “For years I’ve been wondering about the fifth girl,” she added Friedman excused herself and went over to chat with other participants I finished my lunch and began talking to several Israelis who were children during the Holocaust I suddenly noticed Tova Friedman speaking excitedly with another woman A cluster of people had gathered around them I ran over and glanced at the other woman’s nametag we thought we were the only ones left from Tomaszów-Mazowiecki!” she exclaimed Although Meltzer said she hadn’t used Yiddish in years she was now chatting effortlessly in her mother tongue The two women sat for an hour sharing memories about Tomaszów-Mazowiecki and described the tense days right after the war when everyone was constantly checking the names of survivors posted regularly on the bulletin board “It’s so wonderful to know that three of the five children are still with us!!” Friedman declared gleefully I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward American Jews need independent news they can trust At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S rising antisemitism and polarized discourse This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on See our full guidelines for more

MetroFocus host Rafael Pi Roman interviews author Allan Chernoff about his book The Tailors of Tomaszow Seven decades after the Holocaust, Allan Chernoff, along with his mother Rena Margulies Chernoff, published The Tailors of Tomaszow It is an eyewitness narrative largely recounted by Chernoff’s mother and firsthand accounts from other Tomaszow World War II survivors Rena Margulies Chernoff is among the youngest survivors of the Holocaust and one of only four children from the Polish town of Tomaszow-Mazowiecki to survive She lived through the destruction of Jewish Tomaszow imprisonment in the slave labor camp of Blizyn and Auschwitz-Birkenau at the age of 11 The Tailors of Tomaszow is a communal memoir and history of Holocaust survivors published by the Texas Tech University Press Chernoff wrote the book  along with his mother over the course of several decades to live on and I wanted people to learn so much about the details of what exactly happened before the war,” he said You can read an excerpt from the book below Reprinted with permission from The Tailors of Tomaszow: A Memoir of Polish Jews ©2025 WNET WNET is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization Tova Friedman’s mother always told her the truth was the only thing that could keep her daughter alive So when Friedman’s grandparents were murdered by Nazis in 1942 in the Jewish ghetto of Tomaszów Mazowiecki her parents did not shield their 4-year-old daughter from the terrible facts Don't wear a hat or scarf when they are present “You must always behave in a way that you won’t be shot,” she told her little daughter In the Nazi-occupied Poland of Friedman's earliest memories a little Jewish girl could be shot for no reason and still working as a therapist in Highland Park But she was raised in the horrors of a Holocaust in which Germans murdered 6 million Jews with gas and with bullets and with bare hands — aided by Polish and Ukrainian volunteers all too eager to assist in the genocide of a people Her mother's unflinching truthfulness gave her the tools she needed to survive And only the truth can protect against similar horrors happening again Friedman now tells her story — the story of a little girl who survived the Nazi death camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau Who escaped a Death March in 1945 at age 6 by pretending to be dead herself snuggling tight against the cold skin of a corpse Friedman tirelessly shares her story with schools and community centers taking her grandchildren to Auschwitz in 2020 “You are what Hitler could not kill,” she told them at the 75th anniversary of the death camp’s liberation by Russian soldiers And with the help of journalist Malcolm Brabant, she has finally published her story in a new memoir, “The Daughter of Auschwitz.” In her book Friedman tells the story of a little girl who never knew any reality other than one in which Jewish girls died — and the new life she eventually built in New Jersey Her book has not left the New York Times bestseller list More:Photo of Holocaust survivors leads to reunion 72 years later Friedman has also told her story on TikTok — a video social media platform most popular among the young and which she still does not know how to use she has become a perhaps unlikely TikTok star Friedman's life on TikTok began with her grandson Aron Goodman he’d asked his grandmother if he could film her saying a few words about her experience as a survivor of the Holocaust the breath-mint company where Aron’s mother Itaya — Friedman’s daughter — worked at the time “Why would a candy company be interested in Holocaust survivors?” she wondered At Itaya's house the day after Rosh Hashana Friedman beams at her grandson with evident pride as he explains that he saw posting her video testimony to TikTok as a way to preserve cultural memory and combat the antisemitism he still sees online not to mention a grandmother’s impulse to offer food to a houseguest — even if that guest is the third journalist to interview her in a day She also takes an impish joy in describing the handsomeness of a certain national news anchor she’s met She sees echoes of the hate she experienced in the invasion of Ukraine by Russia in online political venom that seems to feed on itself There were just 15 years between Hitler's publishing "Mein Kampf" and the building of extermination camps in Nazi-occupied Poland don't be so fast to hate and to kill,’” Friedman says ‘People who could burn books can eventually burn people.'” Goodman posted his grandmother's first videos about her experience in Auschwitz He warned her not to be disappointed if only 10 or 20 people ever saw them First it was a hundred people. Then a thousand. Now, nearly half a million people follow her TikTok account at @tovafriedman Her videos have been viewed 50 million times Children and teenagers and teachers send her question after question about the Holocaust and Aron takes them to his grandmother to answer in intimate personal testimonials And she would never remove the tattoo with the number she was assigned by her Nazi tormenters: A-27633 She now sees it as a sign of her moral victory against those who tried to take away her humanity children wanted to know: Did she meet Anne Frank Friedman answers each question patiently and sincerely with the unexpected poignance of simple fact because even though they were there at the same time while Friedman was in the "children’s place," the Kinderlager “People don’t just meet each other,” she says Friedman does not stop her story at the liberation of Auschwitz by Russian soldiers She wrote of their former neighbors in Poland who told her family that they wished all Jews had died instead killed by a Polish mob after surviving the camps Friedman still finds the small moments of kindness — wherever they existed among those who tried in their own little ways to resist or to remind each other of shared humanity She describes the kernel of dignity that her mother helped her keep even as Nazis attempted to convince every Jewish person that they were not people And she tells of the life she was able to forge in the United States after the concentration camps or during her brief time in Israel — after meeting a little boy named Maier Friedman who bought her a cheese sandwich when she’d just arrived in New York “You're going to marry somebody you've just met?” Recently she was also able to reunite with two other survivors in New Jersey shown next to her as children in a famous photograph taken by a Russian soldier at the liberation of Auschwitz to hold Zoom videos to help refugees as a therapist during the pandemic and gratitude for sharing both the trauma she has experienced and the life she has led Her grandson shields her from the antisemitic comments that still arrive on TikTok Hitler,’ or ‘Hitler was right.’ ‘Should have killed more.’ ‘Didn't happen,’" he says Because I shield her from the negativity.” But most of the messages are from people whose hearts she has touched with her words and her videos She asked her rabbi: Why would people be interested in me when there have been 15,000 books about the Holocaust ‘It’s because you represent the children that aren’t here,'” she says Can you imagine: one million and a half Jewish children killed starved and beaten and drowned and torn apart Those lives that would be musicians and doctors and here I am just one little person that survived.” that it's because her mother shows it is possible to have a good life after atrocity she receives messages from people who have experienced hardships all over the world — people in Hong Kong or Mexico or India who have endured abuse “It is so heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time how her story inspires others to make changes in their life and to see hope where they didn’t see it.” Clarification: Nazi Germany established ghettos and death camps in occupied Polish territories; they were not established in areas under Polish control Matthew Korfhage writes about culture, food and equity for the USA TODAY Network's Atlantic Region How We Live team.

What kind of world do we want to live in? It's hard to tell because everything blends. At the age of 2 and 3 and I think her brother and other people. They put the Jews into a space where they can keep watch You know? There were rules: You can't go out, can't come in People who were free to move were people who had work permits Those who didn't work were at a disadvantage And its purpose was to find us easily: To starve us because they control how much food we get, and then kill us I remember being under the table a lot because there was just no space But we lived as a family. You could move in inside the ghetto but you couldn't get out of the ghetto.  U.S. surgeon general: Our kids' mental health is as critical as their grades. Here's how to prioritize both. I want to explain something to you. It wasn't horrific to me – I grew up with corpses everywhere I grew up with people being shot right in front of me I grew up with children being torn to pieces I always trusted her (my mom); I felt safe And when we went to the hospital and she found a corpse – it wasn't scary to me The corpse, it was a nice-looking corpse. Now I would say she was 18-20 (years old) And to hide with somebody who can't hurt you – she was my protector You gotta look at a corpse different from the way you're looking now The smell of the burning of the bodies was everywhere That's how I thought the air was supposed to smell "What is that smell?" I said to my mother. She said to me that's the burning of the bodies after they gas them. I was 5 1/2 But after that I didn't ask anymore – I knew it that's the terrible thing. She was about 12 They would (point and) say two more weeks left, three You could see the starvation of the body MindUp for Life: Goldie Hawn urges 'don't turn a blind eye' to our children's anxiety and depression What I worried (about) was that if they called her number and she doesn't say they will call and call and we'd have to stand up. So I memorized her number I knew the sound of it because I heard it so much. I was so proud, I remember She's right here" – where the other dead children of the night were lying. I pulled her out of the bunk bed And I still remember how heavy it was for me to drag her by her feet to the front of the room so that she wasn't missing, that they know that she didn't run away and they don't have to look for her We have both – that's how we were created We have the good and the bad in us. And if you have a little girl is to use the kind side even when she doesn't feel kind How have you sustained your faith after everything you've lived through? I have a lot of trouble with God He told me that he was supposed to go to the gas chamber with his father upon arrival to Auschwitz That's exactly how it was supposed to be done but as he was walking with his father the commandant got a letter that he opened and he started yelling at somebody to get the group back And I was so hard trying to find out what day was it. I spoke to this man. I said let's sit down and talk about it Maybe that's what happened to me. Because we waited and waited and waited; we froze to death They gave us some kind of a rag. You know but it wasn't anything. Somebody thinks maybe it was near to a time when the Allies were coming That's why they wanted to get rid of all of us very quickly Maybe they were told from Berlin to stop gassing I remember they were walking with clipboards They'll take us next time. They'll now get the right bunch of kids If you could tell that little girl who was hiding under the table in the ghetto or who was watching kids dying in her barrack in Auschwitz what would you tell her? Interesting question She is one of the youngest survivors of Auschwitz and uses her vivid memories to write and speak against antisemitism and prejudice.  'We still don't have water or electricity': Voices from Puerto Rico after Hurricane Fiona 4 things progressives can do to get ready for November midterm elections Why must we pick between paychecks and caring for loved ones?
