Pina Frassineti Wax's survival was aided by her Italian heritage, as her last name, Frassineti, was not widely recognized as Jewish, allowing her to evade Nazi detection.
Her mother's dedication was pivotal; she walked ten miles to find penicillin to save Pina's leg from amputation during their time in hiding from the Nazis.
Despite the horrors endured, Frassineti Wax emphasizes the importance of combating hate, stating that we must eradicate it wherever we see it.
Frassineti Wax was honored with a flag flown over the US Capitol on her 100th birthday, celebrating her resilience and life as a Holocaust survivor.
