Amna Nawaz:

This coming Monday marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp. An estimated 1,100,000 people, mainly Jews, were murdered there during the Holocaust.

One of the youngest survivors was an 8-year-old Polish girl named Rutka. She moved to Canada after the war and took the name Rachel Hyams. Decades later, she died by suicide. And now Rachel’s daughter has been retracing her mother’s steps and allowed special correspondent Malcolm Brabant to come along on the emotional journey.

Audrey Hyams Romoff, Daughter of Auschwitz Survivor: Oh, my God.

Lindsay Romoff, Granddaughter of Auschwitz Survivor: Take a deep breath.
