Greece's oldest Holocaust survivor dies aged 96
Cohen was 20 when she was sent to Auschwitz
02 December, 18:05Only 110 Jews survived the Holocaust among some 2,000 deported from the city, whose Jewish community dates to the ninth century under the Byzantine Empire. In 2014, during a visit to Ioannina by Germany's then president Joachim Gauck, he met Cohen at a public event, in tears as he kissed her and begged forgiveness for the atrocities committed by the Nazis. The moment was captured in a photograph that appeared on newspapers' front pages around the world. "After our deaths, people should realise that Man should not be inhuman," she told the German president.
