Georges Andre Kohn


Georges Andre Kohn was born on April 23rd, 1932 as the youngest of four children. During the final week of the German occupation of Paris, George's family was arrested. The family was then deported to Buchenwald. After arriving at Buchenwald, the family was split apart. Georges, along with his grandmother, were then sent to Auschwitz. After a selection at Auschwitz, Georges was selected for the special barracks. The Jewish children within those barracks were selected for medical experimentation.

November 1944, the remaining children were sent to Neuengamme (a concentration camp) near Hamburg, Germany. The children were injected with tuberculosis cultures which caused them to become ill. As the British were closing in, on April 20th, 1945, the group was injected with morphine.
