Tatiana Bucci
Tatiana Bucci was born in 1938 in Fiume, a town then in northern Italy and now in modern-day Croatia. In 1944, the Nazis arrested Tatiana and her family and imprisoned them at Risiera di San Sabba, a transit concentration camp in northern Italy. Tatiana was just six years old when she and her four-year-old sister Andra, and their mother, aunt, grandmother and cousin were deported to Auschwitz on 4 April 1944. The sisters spent 10 months in Auschwitz. Their mother, Mira, was transferred from Auschwitz to Germany for forced labor in a munitions factory. Their father, Giovanni, was a prisoner of war in South Africa during the war. Tatiana and Andra Bucci are among the youngest child survivors of Auschwitz who have memories of their experience.
