Bernat Rosner

Bernat Rosner (born 29 January 1932) is a survivor of Auschwitz concentration camp and Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp. As the only survivor of his family he went to the United States of America in 1948 and became a U.S. citizen in 1953.

Bernat Rosner was born in 1932 in Tab, Hungary as member of an ultra-orthodox Jewish family. In 1944, he and his family were deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Later he was transferred to Mauthausen. He was the only member of his family to survive the concentration camps.[1]

The story of Bernat Rosner is told in the book An uncommon friendship (2001) written by Bernat Rosner and Frederic C. Tubach.[2] Tubach has the same age as Rosner, but was the son of a Nazi military officer. After they became friends in California, they decided to publish the story of their youth and their friendship.[1]
