Tomas Kohn was the son of Nicholas Kohn and Eva Klein Kohn. He was born in Czechoslovakia in 1936. In 1944, Tomas and his mother were rounded up and forced to Auschwitz. Upon arrival, Tomas was taken from his mother, stripped naked, and led into the showers. Instead of water, poisonous Zyklon B gas poured down. The nine-year-old child suffocated to death after suffering for many minutes. The murdered body of this beautiful, innocent, sweet child was then dragged to the ovens and burned. Years later, when his parents died, they left instructions to be cremated. Just like their son. May Hashem Avenge His Death. השם יקום דמו
