In this episode Jack Adler, 93year old Holocaust survivor tells stories of his youth in Poland and of his time in the concentration camps Auschwitz and Dachau. His telling of the German officer who wound up saving his life by giving him food
Brings Jack to tears and is so poignant.
Jack, age 93, is a Holocaust survivor who spent time in both Auschwitz and Dachau. Tragically he also lost his whole family during that time. Along with the experience of horrors and deep pain, humor has almost always been with him, contributing to his own resilience.
Jack has shared his story with thousands of people, including students and veterans. Eli Adler, Jack’s son, co-produced a film called “Surviving Skokie”. It is a film that covers the Neo Nazi attempts to demonstrate in Skokie, Ill, in the 1970’s, and also Jack’s moving return to Poland and to Auschwitz and their journey as father and son.
