100-year-old who endured 12 concentration camps to share his story of 'Survival and Triumph' 

Thursday, October 26, 2023 – 11:30 – 1:00 p.m.


 

During the events of the 2nd World War, Nazis sent Alexander to 12 different concentration camps including Dachau and Auschwitz-Birkenau. While captive, Alexander experienced forced labor under threat of death and starvation conditions, building a dam, sewers, an airport, and laying railroad tracks and cobblestone streets. He experienced blood poisoning, skin maladies, and huddled for days behind brick piles in the destroyed Warsaw Ghetto, suffering from typhus. American troops liberated him in 1945.

As the years since the Holocaust wear on, Alexander is among a smaller and smaller group of survivors who can share first-person testimony about the atrocities of the era, having made it through 12 concentration camps himself and being the only one of his immediate family to make it through the Holocaust and out of Nazi Germany following the invasion of their home country of Poland in 1939.

His motivation is to let the people know what happened, because he’s asked to speak for “six million Jews who can't talk.”  Join us on the 26th for this important event.
