SUMMARY:USHMM | 2025 First Person Series: Ruth Cohen
DESCRIPTION:As a teenager\, Ruth Cohen and her family\, along with other Jews\, were forced from their home into a ghetto in what was then Hungary. About a month later\, German authorities deported them to the Auschwitz-Birkenau killing center\, where Ruth was assigned to work as a courier\, delivering guards’ messages throughout the camp. She credits her survival during several months at Auschwitz to her job as a messenger but endured two more camps\, forced labor\, and a serious illness before liberation.\nThis year\, Ruth\, at 94\, returned to Auschwitz for the first time and proclaimed\, “I am here!” defying the Nazis. Watch Ruth speak about her experiences and the meaning of her recent trip.\nSpeakerRuth Cohen\, Holocaust Survivor and Museum Volunteer\nModeratorBill Benson\, Journalist and Host\, First Person: Conversations with Holocaust Survivors\nWatch live at youtube.com/ushmm.
