In the fall of 2019, a British historian tracked down 98-year-old Berta Berkovich Kohút at her home in San Rafael to record her World War II story.
The tale took three days to tell. Kohút was the last among 40 young Jewish women who survived Auschwitz by sewing cocktail dresses, ball gowns and fancy fashions for the wives of Nazi officers.
