On January 27th 1945, Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz was liberated. Today we remember this event with International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

It is estimated that there were 4,500 survivors who were liberated, but many people ultimately did not survive the wounds that were inflected during their time at the camp. One who died was Fanny Cogan (1937-1942). She was living in Paris France and rounded up, murdered, and cremated at the age of 6.

It's important we never forget. Alyssa is one member who has spent countless hours doing her part sharing the victims' stories and photos on AncientFaces so that they are always remembered.

It is unbelievably sad that these two little babies were murdered like that. I'm curious about the mother - she lived until 91 (which is awesome - it's the best sort of FU to the Nazis!) and died in Australia. Does anyone know anything about her? Did she ever remarry or have other children? How did she escape being sent to a camp? I'd love to hear that the rest of her life was happy and fulfilling.

Hi there,
I am related to the Cogan family.
Her father, Joseph, worked for the organisation OSE (saved 5000-6000 Jewish children during the Holocaust), they had ordered them to leave the centre as it was too dangerous. His brother, (my great-grandfather) left at this time and escaped to Switzerland, however, Joseph did not want to leave his wife, Jeannette, as she was at the local hospital giving birth to their son, Daniel. Joseph, and his two children, Fanny and Albert, went into hiding under a staircase. Sadly, the cook denounced them when the Police were searching the house. Jeannette and Daniel survived the last years of the war hiding in forests and farms. After the war, traumatised from the catastrophic events that occured in France, they received visas to Australia. This is now where I live with my family.
