Holocaust Survivor Edit Eva Eger, Who Danced for the Angel of Death at Auschwitz, Dies

Edit Eva Eger, a Holocaust survivor from Košice who endured the horrors of Auschwitz concentration camp, has died. During her imprisonment at the Nazi death camp, Eger was forced to dance for Josef Mengele, the notorious SS doctor known as the "Angel of Death" who conducted horrific medical experiments on prisoners. Eger survived the Holocaust and went on to rebuild her life, including remarrying the same man twice. Born in Košice, Slovakia's second-largest city in the eastern region, Eger became one of the dwindling number of living witnesses to the Holocaust, which claimed the lives of approximately 105,000 Slovak Jews during World War II.
