Nothing made sense anymore to 14-year-old Agi Geva by the time she arrived at the Auschwitz-Birkenau killing center with her mother and sister. Still, it was unimaginable that the motion of a guard’s hand could decide whether she lived or died.
Agi, her mother, and her sister ended up surviving four camps together-including Auschwitz twice-enduring forced labor and a death march before being liberated by American troops in April 1945.
Hear Holocaust survivor Agi Geva’s experiences in her own words recorded on January 18, 2023. 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.
