I was born in Kippenheim, a village in southern Germany. I was imprisoned in the Terezin concentration camp in Czechoslovakia between 7-10 years of age. I came to the USA in 1946 and have since then lived in NYC. I graduated with a BS degree in chemistry, and worked for 38 years as a chemist in research and clinical work. I speak all over the USA, Germany about the Holocaust diversity , love and respect for all to any age group. I received the "Louis E. Yavner Citizen Award," "Ellis Island Medal of Honor," and an hon. "Doctor of Humane Letters" from Long Island University.
