  • Today, on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, we are bringing you an episode we made five years ago with two of the survivors, Susan Pollock and Iva Pearl.

  • That episode was made for the 75th anniversary.

  • It is a really moving listen and I hope you get a lot from it.

  • Today's episode is very special.

  • There are now few survivors of the Nazis largest concentration camp, auschwitz, on the 75th anniversary of its liberation.

  • Iva Pearl and Susan Pollock, who were children just 12 and 13 when they were taken there, tell us their stories from the Guardian.

  • I'm Anoushka Astana.

  • Today in focus, life after Auschwitz.

  • Well, I lived in a small village in Hungary, not far from the capital, Budapest.

  • And my life was happy.

  • Went to local school, had my girlfriends there.

  • I played a bit of football if they needed someone.

  • What is it called when you're a goalkeeper?

  • Yeah, that's me.

  • And so that was my life.

  • And it was fun.

  • As a child, did you have a sense that a darkness was coming?

  • Well, as a child I was aware, there's no doubt about it.

  • I was aware that I was the other.

  • There were signs of that difference and not very friendly signs, sometimes hostile.
