A special event of the "Memory in the Living Room" project will be held this year at the Givatayim Municipality's Youth Center and will be broadcast on the "Israel Today" website.
Colette Hazan, born in 1939, will talk to the young people and tell her story.
Colette was born in the town of Cannes in the south of France.
Colette's mother, who lived in Paris, traveled before giving birth to her parents to give birth in Cannes.
When Colette was a year and a half old, arrests of non-French Jews began.
So they arrested her Polish father and sent him to an extermination camp.
Later, her mother was also arrested and sent to Auschwitz.
It happened when Colette was three and a half years old, and her mother went to visit her aunt who lived in another locality.
When she was about to return by train, she was stopped at the station along with other Jews, who were sent to extermination.
Colette stayed with her older brother with their grandparents, and they found refuge with a Christian family.
Later, the family that cared for them changed the names of Colette and her brother and smuggled them to the Spanish border.
Her grandparents feared they would come to pick her and her brother up as well, and through a church they contacted a Christian family who lived on a farm on the Spanish border, who helped hide Jewish children across the border.
In Spain they hid for years on a farm, thus escaping.
At the end of the war, the grandparents came from France to Spain and reunited with their grandchildren.
Colette's moving testimony will be brought to the Israel Today website today at 7:30 p.m.
Meanwhile, at 18:00, a rally of support and identification with the Holocaust survivors of the "Spring for Holocaust Survivors" organization will be broadcast on the "Israel Today" website and on Facebook.
This is a rally that opens the events of Holocaust Remembrance Day.
The rally, led by actor Uri Gottlieb, will be attended by singer Narkis and will feature videos with three Holocaust survivor artists: the sculptor is Eviatar, the set designer and painter Benno Friedel and the poet and painter Evelyn Katz.
