My family’s Survival of the Holocaust
They were saved by a non-Jewish neighbor, Anton, who was the town fool. The only one in the town who treated him with respect was my grandmother. The presentation focuses on the horrors my family experienced, how they survived, and what happened afterwards.
The story has three main morals (respect, if you do good, good will come back to you, and what one person can do) that apply to life today. I have spoken to thousands of people over the past 11 years. My father, before he passed in 2013, spoke to tens of thousands more. In fact, he was on the original NJ Holocaust Commission founded in 1984 by Gov Tom Kean which made NJ the first State in the country to mandate Holocaust Education.
