Holocaust survivor Tomi Reichental has died, aged 90.
Born in Czechoslovakia, Mr Reichental and his family were taken to the Bergen-Belsen Nazi concentration camp in 1944, where he stayed until it was liberated. 30+ members of his family were killed. He moved to Ireland in 1959.
Deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Tomi Reichental, someone who dedicated his life to teaching new generations about the evil of The Holocaust.
