Rose Girone, believed to be the oldest living Holocaust survivor and a strong advocate for sharing survivors' stories, has died. She was 113.
Her death was confirmed on Thursday by the Claims Conference, a New York-based Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany.
Girone was born on January 13, 1912, in Janow, Poland. Her family moved to Hamburg, Germany, when she was 6, she said in a filmed interview in 1996 with the USC Shoah Foundation.
Girone was one of about 245,000 survivors still living across more than 90 countries.
