Dr Alex Hershaft was just 5 years old when the Nazis
invaded his homeland of Poland. He and his family were forced into the
Warsaw Ghetto but he survived and after escaping Nazi persecution and
immigrating to the USA, he worked as an environmental consultant.
In 1972, a routine inventory of a Midwest slaughterhouse changed the course
of his life. He is now the President and founder of Farm Animals Right
Movement (FARM), an international nonprofit working to end the use of
animals for food.
