Eugene Hollander
Hungarian-born Holocaust survivor (1912-1996)
Eugene Hollander (14 December 1912 – 15 December 1996) was a Hungarian survivor of the Holocaust. He wrote a memoir, From the Hell of the Holocaust: A Survivor's Story, about his ordeal in Nazi Germany.
He was born in Huszt in December 1912, but raised in Técső, then part of the Kingdom of Hungary, but today in modern-day Ukraine. He was a first cousin of Edith Frank (née Hollander, Anne Frank's mother) who was the daughter of his maternal uncle and also the cousin-in-law of Otto Frank. Separated from his wife Monica for 14 months, they eventually reunited and moved to the United States. Hollander died in New York City in December 1996 at the age of 84. His widow, Monica, posthumously published his memoir in 2000. She died in 2014. The Eugene and Monica E. Hollander Foundation was a New York-based charity subsequently set established in their memory.
Works
Hollander, Eugene (2001).

Why this record matters
The phrase “hungarian-born Holocaust survivor (1912-1996)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5407355. VIAF identifies the subject as 55066752. The Library of Congress control number is n00046903. 1 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1912, 1996, 2000 and 2014.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
