and @AuschwitzMuseum keeps silent on #Genocide in #Ukraine - killing #Holocaust survivors by Russia QT @visegrad24 (Visegrád 24) A Kyiv resident who survived the Holocaust has died. Police found her body in an unheated, ice-covered apartment left without power due to Russian strikes on the energy grid. Holocaust survivor and Kyiv native Eugenia Bezfamilna was found dead in her apartment after Russian attacks on the city’s energy infrastructure cut electricity and water. City authorities said the cause of death was heart failure. However, when police entered the apartment through an open balcony, everything inside was covered in ice. The building had no power due to Russian strikes, and burst water pipes flooded the apartments as temperatures dropped to –18°C. “The body of the elderly woman instantly froze. There was no decomposition. It was an ice sculpture, a monument to yet another victim of the Holocaust, whom the ideological descendants of Adolf reached more than 80 years later,” her neighbor said. Bezfamilna, known to neighbors as Baba Zhenya, survived the war in Ukraine as a child. Her parents died in Babyn Yar, the site of massacres carried out by Nazi Germany's forces. After the war, she was sent to an orphanage, where she received her surname, Bezfamilna, meaning “without a family.” She lived alone, without relatives, in Kyiv’s historic Podil district, attended a synagogue two blocks from her home, spoke only Yiddish and Russian, and relied on volunteers for food. Holocaust Remembrance Day has gained another name in its martyrology: Eugenia Mykhailivna Bezfamilna.
