Irish Holocaust survivor Tomi Reichental has died at the age of 90.
The Slovakian born Jew lost 35 members of his family during the Holocaust and was imprisoned as a child in Bergen Belsen concentration camp in Germany.
In 1959, he moved to Ireland and spent his retirement giving talks to thousands of school children about the horrors he witnessed.
Speaking in Tullamore six years ago, he shared his story of liberation with Midlands 103's Sinéad Hubble.
