I am a survivor of Auschwitz/Buna, prisoner number 104954. I was the only Jew in my class and faced Nazi theory and antisemitic schoolmates. In 1938, I witnessed Kristallnacht; later my entire family was deported, and I never saw them again. I was sent to Auschwitz to do construction labor, escaped the gas chambers three times, and survived a death march until liberation in 1945. I weighed only 80 pounds. After arriving in America, I married my sweetheart Rose, became a citizen, and enjoyed a career as a graphic artist before retiring to Santa Barbara. Come to Portraits of Survival to learn more.
