Hedy Bohm

At Auschwitz, Hedy was selected for slave labor and sent to Wolfsburg, then known as Fallersleben, to work in an ammunition factory, which had originally been a Volkswagen factory. She remained there until she was liberated by American forces on April 14, 1945.

After the war, Hedy returned to Romania, where she lived with her aunt Ilus and her uncle Kiss Ferencz.

They arrived in Toronto in August 1948. After working in factories for several years, Hedy and Imre opened a small shoe business, which they ran together.

In 1992, Hedy was widowed but continued to manage the shoe business until her retirement in 2008. After retiring, she embarked on a new journey in Holocaust education. Hedy has two children, Vicky and Ron, and two grandchildren.
