Oldest surviving Nazi concentration camp survivor dead at 107  Published May 02, 2013
Associated Press   VIENNA –  An Austrian organization that tracks the fate of Nazi concentration camp inmates says the oldest known survivor of such a camp has died aged 107.
The Mauthausen Committee said Thursday that Leopold Engleitner died April 21. After refusing to renounce his faith as a Jehova's Witness, he survived three concentration camps and forced labor between 1939 and 1945.
 
He weighed just 28 kilograms — about 60 pounds — on release from the Ravensbrueck camp in 1943 after he agreed to work as farm slave laborer. Later ordered to report to Hitler's army, Engleitner hid in the Tyrolean countryside until after the war ended.
Engleitner's life was documented in the book and film "Unbroken Will," by Austrian film-maker and author Bernhard Rammerstorfer, and he toured Europe and America to share his experiences.

Well now those "falsely accused" SS officers(who only admitted it because they were beaten) will have no one to testify against them! Of course they are probably dead now too so its a wash!  ::)

When I was a child my parents used to play cards with some friends that had tattoos from the concentration camps.  I vaguely remember them telling me of family members they lost there :'(

Don't you read the new made up history? There were no concentration camps, The Nazi's loved everybody. It was the rest of the world that picked on them. The Jews made it all up to make the Nazis look bad.
 
I once chatted with a fellow with the tattoo on his arm. A remarkable guy and incredible story. The things they lived through were horrible at best,
