Auschwitz survivor Henri Kichka dies of Covid-19

(FASTNEWS | 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.”
