A Holocaust Survivor's Story By Dr. Robert Mendler
I just got back from the lynch Auditorium where Dr. Mendler was talking about his life story. He basically talks about what it was like then, how the nazis mistreated the people and made them suffer, tortured the people for no reason, how people were starving to death, freezing to death, some people actually fell down and never woke up. He said that up until now he cannot believe it when he thinks about it and that it was almost impossible for people to survive and that he is lucky to be alive till this very day.
