Dr. E.G.D. Cohen. Reminiscences of World War II. Interview by Erica Sigmon, 2004
Between the summer of 1945 and today, like my father, I have attempted to complete a family story. In my case it was the circumstances of my parents’ murder in Auschwitz in 1943. Right at the end of World War II, I started my search for information about when and where they died. I wrote to the International Red Cross, the Auschwitz Memorial, Yad Vashem, and many other organizations that were recommended to me that could provide more information. On 24 July 2000, I received final confirmation from the American Red Cross about the fate of my parents:
“On 7 August 1943, they were brought to Westerbork transit camp, penal barrack 67. On 7 September 1943 they were deported from Westerbork to concentration camp Auschwitz. Both parents of the inquirer died on 10 September 1943 at Auschwitz or in the neighborhood of Auschwitz.”
