He was the focus of an assembly in 8th grade in '85. We had just finished reading his book in English class, and then the next day he came to speak to our class personally! What an amazing individual, and even though it has been shown that the Holocaust figures had been exaggerated for political purposes, his experiences were very real and very tragic. It was a rare inspiration to have had the chance to have met him, to shake his hand, and to have him autograph my copy of his book. RIP.

Amazing man and he wrote an informative book "Don"t fence me in"...I was lucky enough to hear him speak at my high school in the late 80's. I feel for what he's been through and for the family and friends he lost in the holocaust.
