Eva Brown was born in Hungary in August 1927. She was the middle child born to a rabbi and his wife, and she had three brothers and three sisters. During the Holocaust, her father was sent to a labour camp, while the rest of the family lived in the Putnok ghetto. They were later sent to the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp, where her mother and seven-year-old brother were sent directly to the gas chamber. Eva’s identity was reduced to a number—A17923.

Following the war, Eva reunited with her father, but she learned that 60 members of her family had been murdered. In 1948 she immigrated to the United States. She was married for 50 years.

For eight years Eva served as a speaker at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles. She lived in California until she passed away in December 2010 and is survived by her two daughters and a granddaughter.
