First Person 2016: Margit Meissner

Through the First Person program, Holocaust survivors have the opportunity to share their remarkable personal stories of hope, tragedy, and survival with thousands of visitors at the Museum. This program was recorded on April 6, 2016. It features Margit Meissner, who was born in Insbruck, Austria, on February 26, 1922. After Nazi Germany annexed Austria in 1938, Margit fled to Paris, where she was later joined by her mother. When Germany invaded France, Margit escaped Paris on a bicycle. She and her mother eventually made their way to the United States via Spain and Portugal.
