QUESTIONS: 1. It is hard to believer Eva was born in Mauthhausen; hard to understand how her Mom's pregnancy was able to come to the point of delivery? 2. Does Eva's journey in life, compare to anything in your life? Does her narrative compel you to consider your own life? How? ______________________________________________________________________________ Welcome to The Avrum Rosensweig Show. Every so often, we encounter a storyteller whose work does more than inform — it bears witness. It reaches into the deepest places of human experience and returns with something rare: truth shaped by courage, memory, and extraordinary lives. My guest on this show is Wendy Holden — an internationally acclaimed author of more than 47 books, many of them bestsellers. For nearly two decades as a journalist, and throughout her writing career, she has devoted herself to stories that live at the very edge of human experience — where history presses hardest, and where the human spirit reveals itself most clearly. But today's conversation goes beyond the page. We are also joined, in presence and in spirit, by Eva Clarke — one of the most extraordinary living links to one of history's darkest chapters. Eva is one of the babies born out of the unimaginable reality captured in Born Survivors — the true story of three young mothers, Priska, Rachel, and Anka, who defied death in Nazi concentration camps to bring life into the world. Eva's mother, Anka Bergman, was one of those women. In places designed for annihilation — in camps such as Auschwitz concentration camp and Mauthausen concentration camp — Anka made a decision that defies comprehension: she chose life. Pregnant, starving, and under constant threat — even from figures like Josef Mengele — she hid her pregnancy, endured forced labor, and carried her child forward day by day. An act not only of survival — but of resistance. And then, at the very edge of liberation, Eva was born — on April 29, 1945 — at the gates of Mauthausen. Her mother weighed less than 35 kilograms. The machinery of death was collapsing. And yet, life emerged. Today's conversation is not only about history. It is about memory. It is about moral courage. And it is about the fragile, unbreakable thread that connects one human life to another across generations. As Friedrich Nietzsche wrote — words later carried forward by Viktor Frankl — “Those who have a ‘why' to live can bear almost any ‘how.'” Today, we explore the story, the storyteller, and the living legacy of both. Welcome to the show. ——

The story of Eva Clarke's birth at the gates of Mauthausen concentration camp on the 29th April 1945 is an incredible story of survival against the odds. It is also a symbol of the defeat of the Nazis. They had wanted to eradicate Jewish life from the Earth and yet, a day before Hitler committed suicide in his forlorn bunker, here was a new life, a product of love. Eva, back in Austria at the age of 80 to commemorate the victims of the Nazis, told Chris Cummins about her family story.Sendungshinweis: FM4, OKFM4, 08.05.2025, 17:00

What does it mean to be born in a concentration camp, arguably one of the most inhospitable places on earth? Eva Clarke was one of three “miracle babies” who saw the light of day in KZ Mauthausen in Austria. Nine days after her birth, the Second World War ended. As a newborn, Eva’s chances of survival were extremely slim; against all odds, she lived, making her and her mother Anka the only survivors of their extended family. In 1948, they emigrated from Prague to the UK and settled in Cardiff, Wales. Eva regularly addresses audiences, and her remarkable story has been featured in the British and American media. She and her mother are among the protagonists of Wendy Holden’s book Born Survivors: Three Young Mothers and their Extraordinary Story of Courage, Defiance, and Hope (Harper, 2015).
