On April 15, 1945, British forces liberated Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
Howard Kleinberg was one of many survivors too ill and weak to move.
He was laying among the corpses, waiting for death, when another survivor, Nancy Baum, noticed that he was still alive. She carried him out of the camp, and spent three weeks nursing him back to health.
Less than a year later, Howard immigrated to Toronto, Canada. A month after moving to the city, he found out that Nancy was there too.
Watch these testimony clips of Nancy and Howard to discover how their story of heroism turned into one of romance.
Nancy and Howard were married for 70 years before Howard passed away in 2020.
Nancy passed away a few days ago, on October 3, 2022. USC Shoah Foundation offers condolences to Nancy’s family and friends, and is honored to preserve Nancy’s audiovisual testimony in the Visual History Archive, which is used worldwide for education and research.
