(UTV | Colombo) – One of Belgium’s last Holocaust survivors, Henri Kichka, has died of Covid 19.
He passed away on Saturday in a Brussels care home at the age of 94.
He was one of a handful of men and women left who had survived Auschwitz, the Nazi death camp in occupied southern Poland during World War Two.
In a Facebook tribute, his son Michel Kichka wrote: “A small microscopic coronavirus has succeeded where the entire Nazi army had failed. My father had survived the Death March, but today his Life March has ended.”
