Glauben, a longtime Dallas resident, died after being diagnosed with cancer, a museum spokesman said.
Glauben is among Holocaust survivors who had their recollections recorded by the USC Shoah Foundation in a way that will allow generations to come to ask his image questions.
Glauben told The Associated Press for a story in 2019 that after losing his family in the Holocaust, he told himself he would "do anything possible to educate the people and let them know what kind of tragedy this was."
Glauben was born on Jan. 14, 1928, and grew up in Poland. He was 11 when World War II began. He survived the Warsaw Ghetto and Nazi concentration camps. His parents and younger brother were killed.
He was on a death march to the Dachau concentration camp when he was liberated by the U.S. Army on April 23, 1945, the museum said.
He immigrated to the US in 1947, served in the US Army and moved to Dallas, where he and his wife, Frieda, raised a family.
