Tomi Reichental

Many of your readers might have heard of, read his book or actually met and spoken with a gentleman called Tomi Richental (top) over the years, a holocaust survivor longtime settled in Ireland who gives his time to deliver lectures about his experiences at Belsen

Tomi was a contributor to a pretty decent holocaust documentary put out on RTE last year called Close to Evil [by Eoghan Harris and Gerry Gregg]……there is some interesting business going on over in Germany now thanks to the prosecutors office taking an interest in this documentary

Tomi Reichental attempted to interview a little old lady called Hilde Michnia as part of the documentary, see an Irish neighbour of Hilde’s had picked up in conversation with her years back that li’l Hilde had been working at the camps…that led to other things including Tomi having a go at interviewing her…Hilde admitted to taking part in a so-called “evacuation” work aka Death March from her camp in 1945….and now there may be consequences for li’l Hilde

in a recent interview Hilde got asked about it all…..how does she feel towards Bergen-Belsen survivor Tomi and the Irish documentary that brought her into focus? Her response – “they should be ashamed of themselves”
