2025 First Person with Holocaust Survivor Ruth Cohen

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. This 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. Hear Holocaust survivor Ruth Cohen tell her story, recorded on October 22, 2025. First Person is a monthly, hour-long discussion with a Holocaust survivor that is made possible through generous support from the Louis Franklin Smith Foundation.
