Ruth was born from Renee Friedman to the Czechoslovak Jewish family including doctors and Rabbi. She said that Friedman also had a wholesale wine business and provided a soup kitchen for those in need.
With the public attack of World War II, Nazi Germany secretly planned to kill each European Jews, and the racial extinction of the Third Empire finally arrived in the Friedmann.
They lost their business and then their home. In May 1944, they torn each other, and some were always torn.
Cohen's mother, Bertha, her brother ARI, her cousin Cousins Estee Haber, and 11 -year -old Leo Haber and Cohen's grandmother was murdered together and murdered by dozens of family members.
Cohen said that her family had adopted the Haber Cousins "saved from Slovakia, because it was very important for my parents, and then they came with us and were killed before their parents were killed."
Cohen did not be captured part of the Oswelin concentration camp, and her Tuesday tour began. But she believed that her father had spent time there. She once saw him at the nearby Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp, where she was imprisoned one miles away.
"I know he carried a blanket ... I want to be in the crematorium or somewhere, it is July."
The Nazis tried to cover up his crimes and robbed the survivors of Cohen to obtain the details of the last few hours of his loved ones.
Cohen said: "I have completely blackened a lot of things." But since the liberation of another Nazi concentration camp in May 1945, she first crossed the Oswelin concentration camp, and she vividly described other memories.
Cohen spent most of the time in about six hours of tour, first avoided the wheelchair, and then an insulating golf cart. Usually, she has no help to walk. She has only one place to see one place: Zone 2, 3rd and 30th.
"We sleep in this way. We sleep like that. Therefore, there are 12 communities." Cohen said when she stood in the ruins of her previous barracks, and still stood there. The field is full of chimneys.
She said that the double bed was just a wooden board. The other 11 women in her area shared a space without obstacles. Cohen's sister Teresa sleeps next to her every night.
She said, "I'm sure, this can save my life."
She asked her daughter Barbara Cohen to take her photo at the scene: a 94 -year -old massacre survivor smiled at the Nazi's biggest extinction camp, where 1.1 million people were murdered, about 90 % like Kon The family is like a Jew.
"I'm fine. I'm here, I'm here, I'm here. Hitler lost," she said.
In the end, Cohen, her sister and their father were transferred to other concentration camps, liberated and reunited. They don't have so many relatives in the United States.
Cohen vowed to stop historically repeating, and now lives in North Bethesda, Maryland, and shared her story with tourists. However, the surge in anti -Jewie, the world feels different from her today.
"Anti -Jewie is changing. Racialism is changing. She warns that in various forms of racism and anti -Jewie, this is frightening. What.
Therefore, Ruth Cohen decided that she had to return to the place where family members and countless others were occupied.
"I must be the testimony of the world I experienced, terror. I survived. I live. I have children, a great child, they will not bring my legacy, but my history." Cohen said.
That history made Barbara Cohen cry in the name book on Tuesday in the exhibition book.
"This is so real. I mean, my grandmother is a part of mine. I have her name. I can look at the building. I can look around and see the horror that everyone has passed. To her name, this is her. "She said.
After a few hours of tour, testing and praying for those killed people, Ruth Cohen provides suggestions for all of us to prevent future ethnic extinction and non -humanization of anyone.
"I can say in one word: love ... ... love will never allow such things to happen," she said. "I hate the possibility."
