She was sent to the concentration camp, Plaszow, where she "lived" for two-and-a-half years. She was then marched to Auschwitz. There she survived testing by the Nazi doctor Josef Mengele. She was 21 when she was herded into the gas chamber, naked. She came out alive.  Turgel didn't know the Nazis had tried to kill her until a woman she knew told her she was in the gas chamber. Turgel was then sent to Buchenwald, and then Belsen. There, she shared a bunk with Anne Frank.

Those people were real. They were mothers and fathers, uncles and aunts, doctors and teachers, poets, wonderful people. Composers. And now they scream in silence. My story is only one story, but it is the story six million others cannot tell. I was, and always shall be, the witness to ... mass murder. - Gena Turgel
