Feb. 5th - Magda S., Auschwitz Survivor 

When I heard about groups that denied the Holocaust, I decided I had to
speak out. 

Magda S. was born in Hungary 1922, imprisoned in Auschwitz, and eventually
sent to work at the slave labor camp of Muhldorf, where she met the man she
would marry.

 

Feb. 7th - Leo H., Buchenwald Concentration Camp Liberator
Telling about my experiences has become a healing process for me. It has
helped me to overcome the nightmares of my experience as a liberator of that
hellish place.
Leo H. was a 19 year old American soldier in General Patton's Third Army
when he arrived at Buchenwald Concentration Camp in 1945.
