Biography
Jack Cohen-Rodriguez was born in 1930. He was transported first to the Westerbork camp, then to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. At Bergen-Belsen, Jack was sent to Barrack 211, also known as the Children's House.
Sister Luba, a Polish prisoner, saved the children and took full responsibility for the group.
When World War II was in its last months, the camp experienced a typhus epidemic. Food and water was very limited and the conditions of the barracks were poor. Jack survived. In April 1945, the British Army liberated Bergen-Belsen.
