Judy Weissenberg Cohen was born in Debrecan, Hungary in 1928. As the Nazis occupy Hungary, Judy's world is shattered and is faced with the incomprehensible- Auschwitz-Birkenau. In the shadow of the gas chambers, she clings to her sisters and "camp sisters", who are her only hope of enduring the miseries that are to come. 
Judy is an active speaker and Holocaust and human rights educator. In 2001 she founded the website "Women and the Holocaust” which collects testimony, literature, and scholarly material exploring the specific gender-based experiences of women in the Holocaust.
