Eve Kugler, a Jewish child who escaped Nazi Europe at the age of 10, was initially supposed to be on a ship to America due to the illness of two other children. This chance opportunity resulted in her and her sister's survival during the Holocaust, while they faced years of uncertainty about their family's fate. Over her life, she became a significant voice against ethnic hatred, consistently sharing her experiences to educate others about the Holocaust. Kugler's life is emblematic of the struggles faced by many child survivors.
"The guilt I felt for securing a place of safety at the expense of a sick child never left me.â
"Her story is both exceptional and symbolic of a larger movement of children who survived the Holocaust and who have sought to bear witness.â
