For years, they could not speak about the Holocaust. Teenagers Ruth Cohen, Steven Fenves, and Irene Weiss were deported in crowded freight cars to Auschwitz-Birkenau with 430,000 other Jews from Hungary in mid-1944. Moments after arriving, their families were torn apart. They endured starvation and other barbaric abuse, surrounded by the smoke and ashes of innocent men, women, and children who were murdered by the Nazis.


Eighty years after Auschwitz was liberated, hear Ruth, Steven, and Irene recount their harrowing experiences at one of the deadliest Nazi camps and what contributed to their remarkable survival.
