BBC One - The Baby Born in a Concentration Camp

The story of Anka Bergman, who gave birth to her daughter in a Nazi concentration camp.

The story of Anka Bergman, who gave birth to her baby daughter Eva in a Nazi concentration camp, and endured six months of forced labour during her pregnancy.

Anka Bergman gave birth to her baby daughter Eva in a Nazi concentration camp. 

During her pregnancy, Anka witnessed the horrors of Auschwitz and endured six months of forced labour. If the Nazis found a woman was pregnant, she could be sent straight to the gas chambers. Amazingly, Anka's pregnancy went unnoticed for months. 

Anka eventually gave birth - on the day she arrived at an extermination camp. Anka weighed just five stone and was on the brink of starvation; baby Eva weighed just three pounds. 

Remarkably, both mother and daughter survived, and are living in Cambridge. Now they tell their story.
