Tuesday 27 January is the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration camp at Auschwitz. Six survivors, some of whom will be returning to the site for the last time, tell Kate. Of all the stories of survival from Auschwitz concentration camp, Gena Turgel's is one of the most astonishing. Auschwitz Survivor Gena Turgel Walked Out of Gas Chamber Alive.
A group of Holocaust survivors being met by Ernst Albrecht in Bonn, Germany.
The people on this list are or were survivors of Nazi Germany's attempt to exterminate the Jews in Europe before and during World War II. A state-enforced persecution of Jews in Nazi-controlled Europe lasted from the introduction of the Nuremberg Laws in 1935 to Hitler's defeat in 1945. Although there were many victims of the Holocaust, the International Commission on Holocaust Era Insurance Claims (ICHEIC) defines a Holocaust survivor as, 'Any Jew who lived for any period of time in a country that was ruled by the Nazis or their allies.'[1]The United States Holocaust Museum (USHMM) gives a broader definition: 'The Museum honors as a survivor any person who was displaced, persecuted, and/or discriminated against by the racial, religious, ethnic, social, and/or political policies of the Nazis and their allies between 1933 and 1945. In addition to former inmates of concentration camps and ghettos, this includes refugees and people in hiding.'[2] Most notably, as well as Jews, this includes Poles, Romani people, Jehovah's Witnesses and those who were persecuted for political reasons such as Communists, those who were persecuted for religious reasons (such as Pastor Niemoller), and homosexuals and those of other sexual orientations. It includes those who were actually in hiding in Nazi-occupied countries. The latter includes Hidden Children, who were hidden to escape the Nazis.
Most especially, in contrast to the ICHEIC definition, it includes refugees, who fled from their homeland to escape the Nazis, and never lived in a Nazi-controlled country.
The ICHEIC definition was created for the purpose of resolving some insurance claims. Over time, the classes of insurance claims have greatly expanded.
This list does not include refugees, since it is created on the basis of the restricted ICHEIC definition. There were many, many eminent refugees (too many to mention). Refugees include the unaccompanied children of the Kindertransport, which includes Physics Nobel LaureateArno Allan Penzias. Refugees also include the unaccompanied One Thousand Children, which includes Physics Nobel Laureate Jack Steinberger. (Somewhat inconsistently the refugee Kindertransport Nobel Laureate Walter Kohn, a Nobel Laureate in chemistry, is listed below.)

MS, Taylor: '...For them, it is far more important that these incredible events be established by clear and public proof so that no one can ever doubt that they were fact and not fable and that this court...as the voice of humanity stamp these acts and the ideas which engendered them as barbarous and criminal....' Audio continues, showing CUs of defendants (from RG-60.2376). MS, Taylor (from RG-60.2210).01:03:15 From RG-60.2353: Taylor continues opening statement for the prosecution.

Clips of still photographs used as evidence showing victims of high altitude experiments. 'The victims who did not die in the course of such experiments, surely wished that they had. A long report written in July 1942 by Rascher, and by the defendants Ruff and Romberg, describes an experiment on a former delicatessen clerk, who was given an oxygen mask and raised in the chamber to an atmospheric elevation of over 47,000 feet, at which point the mask was removed and a parachute descent was simulated. The report describes the victim's reactions-'spasmodic convulsions,' 'agonal convulsive breathing,' 'clonic convulsions and groans,' 'yells aloud,' 'convulses arms and legs,' 'grimaces, bites his tongue,' 'does not respond to speech,' 'gives the impression of someone who is completely out of his mind.'01:06:39 From RG-60.2306: December 20, 1946, Jadwiga Dzido, former prisoner, Ravensbrueck Concentration Camp, shows scarred leg.

Views of the dock and Taylor delivering from the podium. 'In the sterilization experiments conducted by the defendants at Auschwitz, Ravensbrueck, and other concentration camps, the destructive nature of the Nazi medical program comes out most forcibly. The Nazis were searching for methods of extermination, both by murder and sterilization, of large population groups, by the most scientific and least conspicuous means. They were developing a new branch of medical science which would give them the scientific tools for the planning and practice of genocide. The primary purpose was to discover an inexpensive, unobtrusive, and rapid method of sterilization which could be used to wipe out Russians, Poles, Jews, and other people.'01:08:18 From RG-60.2359: Taylor, from rear in courtroom, continues opening statement regarding experiments in yellow fever, smallpox, typhus, cholera, and diphtheria conducted at Natzweiler and Buchenwald, naming defendants' involvement.

Schubert answers that anyone's soul would feel burdened if they found themselves among a group of people who must be executed, without knowing specifically why.

Schubert's wife interrupts to insist that her husband did not participate directly in executions.1:40 minutes, GermanClaude Lanzmann Shoah CollectionInterview with Benjamin MurmelsteinBenjamin Murmelstein, a controversial figure in Holocaust history, was a rabbi and leader in the Jewish community (Israelitische Kultusgemeinde Wien) and later acted as the last head of the Jewish Council in Theresienstadt.
