'Bride of Belsen' Holocaust survivor who comforted Anne Frank at concentration camp before her death from typhus dies aged 95
Holocaust survivor Gena Turgel, 95, who became known as the 'Bride of Belsen' after marrying a British soldier who liberated the camp, has died aged 95. The Polish native (pictured left) had dedicated her life to sharing her experiences of the atrocity following the war, including her life in the Jewish ghetto in Krakow, Poland. She was a frequent visitor to schools in Britain (shown with the Queen in 2015, inset) and was praised for telling her story which 'no one would ever forget'. Born in Krakow as Gena Goldfinger on February 1, 1923, Mrs Turgel (shown on her weddding day with husband Norman in 1947, right) had to move with her family in 1941 to a Jewish ghetto with only a sack of potatoes, some flour and a few belongings.
