Holocaust survivor from Florida to celebrate 100th birthday by throwing first pitch at Yankees-Rays game

85-year-old Auschwitz concertation camp survivor Tova Friedman joins Arthel Neville on ‘Fox News Live’ to discuss the TikTok following she gained by educating viewers.

Seventy-eight years after surviving three concentration camps and a death march, one Florida woman will celebrate her 100th birthday by throwing out the first pitch at Tropicana Field as the Tampa Bay Rays host the New York Yankees on Friday evening, May 5.

"I never could have imagined celebrating a birthday like this, let alone my 100th," Helen Kahan of St. Petersburg, Florida, said in a statement.

She went on, "I’m so grateful that I am here to tell my story and help the world remember why kindness and empathy are so important for us all."

Kahan’s MLB debut is in recognition of the Florida Holocaust Museum, where she has been sharing her life story with generations of museum visitors. 

Proceeds from the game will benefit the museum, and the Rays Baseball Foundation will present the museum with a $10,000 grant as well.

"That means everything to me," Kahan told Fox News Digital. "So that everyone will remember that the Holocaust took so many people. I lost my parents, sisters and brothers and grandmothers," she added. "It means a lot when I hear people talk about that so everyone will remember."

Kahan’s spirit appears to cast a bright light on a dark time in world history.
