Berta "Betka" Kohút

A little over 1,000 days have passed since I read about your Mother/grandmother´s amazing life; about the same amount of time she spent at Auschwitz in a transport of 1,000. She represents the ultimate resilience of the human spirit to survive such a dark time. Reading about the Holocaust, beginning when I was 14, affected me deeply. May she never be forgotten.

I have shared my recommendations about "Dressmakers of Auschwitz" to friends of mine. I dear friend of mine in Romania read it last summer. The story goes round the world, and your mother's memory will live on. May you find comfort in the anniversary of her passing, on the holiday of love.

I just finished reading "The Dressmakers of Auschwitz" and was amazed by the bravery of this group of woman, including your beloved Berta, Though I never met her, her story of resilience touched me deeply. I would like to offer my deepest condolences to all of you.

In loving memory of a kind person. It was a pleasure to have known you.

I just read Berta's amazing (and heartbreaking) story in the SF Chronicle and listened to her interviews on Holocaust Museum Website. Her story is one of strength, faith and fortitude. Despite the pain and suffering she endured, she touched many lives and made a difference in the world. Thank you Berta and to her family for sharing her with us. I look forward to reading about her story in the upcoming book. May she rest in peace.
Deepest condolences to Berta's family and...

I had the honor to meet your dear mother at the museum...what a privilege. This is so unfair...such a tragedy
