Eve Kugler, child survivor of the Holocaust, dies at 94

  • George Leitmann, a Holocaust survivor born in Vienna in 1925, volunteered for the US Army at age 18 and fought against Nazi Germany during World War II.
  • His family fled Nazi-occupied Austria in 1940, but his father Josef was denied a US visa and separated from them, a loss Leitmann deeply felt during the war.
  • Leitmann served in the 286th Combat Engineer Battalion, part of the 6th US Army, and helped liberate the Kaufering concentration camp in southern Germany in 1945.
  • He recalled the Waffen SS rounding up children and handing them Panzerfausts before killing them, saying, "The front line was extremely fluid" and reflecting that "you can't trust yourself."
  • Leitmann's wartime experiences shaped his life and academic career in the US, and he remains concerned about rising fascist ideas today, turning 100 in May 2025.
