The only Jew in Oświęcim, Poland, can see Auschwitz from her bedroom window

Macabre! Why would anyone do that?

Is this woman just trying to draw attention to herself using the Holocaust?

The article lacks a photo showing the view!

"... Hila Weisz-Gut, 34, moved from Israel to Oświęcim, the Polish town where the Auschwitz memorial and museum is located, in 2023 to join her boyfriend, a Pole whom she met on a Holocaust education trip.

Since then, she has drawn attention from international journalists and townspeople alike for being the only Jew living in the town that most starkly symbolizes the Nazis’ murder of millions of people just like her. ...

“For me, it’s a statement that they tried to break us and exterminate us, but they failed,” Weisz-Gut told CNN this week about living in Oświęcim, where she can see Auschwitz from her bedroom window. “We are the generation that is here to say ‘you didn’t succeed. No more. Not again.’”"

The only Jew in Oświęcim, Poland, can see Auschwitz from her bedroom window - Jewish Telegraphic Agency "Hila Weisz-Gut’s grandmother survived Auschwitz. In 2023, Weisz-Gut moved to the town where the concentration camp is located."
