German Vogue invited 102-year-old Holocaust survivor Margot Friedländer to appear on its cover. In addition to the cover, the photographers took several pictures that were included in the magazine.
For the past 14 years, Margot has been educating young people about Nazism and the Holocaust by visiting schools and speaking at various events.
On the cover, Margot poses in a red coat with brooches on the collar, smiling sweetly. The photo shoot occurred in a botanical garden against a backdrop of flowers and greenery. In other shots, she appeared in a floral suit and wore a silk blouse, a pink jacket, and a black skirt.
Margot Friedländer was born in 1921 in Berlin to German Jews. Her family was murdered in Auschwitz, and she survived in the Theresienstadt camp. After her liberation, Margot got married and moved to New York. In 1997, after her husband’s death, she returned to Germany.
A German Vogue journalist called Margot the most positive person and noted her main strength – her love for people. In 2014, the Margot Friedländer Prize was established in her honor to combat anti-Semitism and racism among young people
