The Only Reason I'm Here Is Because Of Scheisshaus Luck

About Me

I'm a Holocaust survivor who was imprisoned in Auschwitz at the age of 18 (which seems to be the age of many of the people here). Two years after World War II I wrote about my experiences in Auschwitz, but never did anything with them. Since I'm now retired and have plenty of time on my hands I'd like to share those experiences with young people from all over the world.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who is interested in learning what it was like to be a teenager during WWII and a prisoner (Haeftling) in a Nazi concentration camp from someone who was there.

DENIERS & HATERS

For a few months now I've been trying to write a blog addressing Holocaust deniers and neo-nazis. I would start writing then think that these small minded, hate filled people don't deserve my attentio...
