Note I think there is more Gerschs that died in
the holocaust. However, it is impossible to see
the relation to Eva through the information I can
find.

Where was the information found?
  • www.yadvashem.org
  • This website has people email in pictures and
    information about people that they know that died
    in the holocaust. It then allows people to
    research individual people and find out more
    about them.
  • I used the following website to find out about
    Eva Gersch and trace back her family.
  • Adela Gersch was the person that emailed in all
    the information about the Gerschs. She was Evas
    cousin and a survivor of the holocaust.

The Auschwitz camp where Eva and her family were
sent
Some people at the Auschwitz camp. They are shown
in there bed. This is a usual situations where
there are more than 3 people in one bed.
This is a section of the Auschwitz camp.
The Auschwitz camp was where most Jews were sent
because it was the largest camp. The Auschwitz
camp was where Eva and her family were gassed,
however, not everyone was killed there because it
was not just a death camp. On the next few slides
are some pictures of the camp.
