Description:

Interview of Ben Mandelkern, author of Escape from the Nazis, a book about his experiences as a Jew trying to survive in Nazi - occupied Poland. Mandelkern talks about his escape from a train transporting him to the Treblinka concentration camp; the nightmares and anguish he suffered as he wrote the book, reliving his experiences, his being on the run from the Nazis, constantly between 1942 to 1945; and Polish Catholics who sheltered him. He helped out at Catholic Church services, as part of his concealment of his Jewish identity. Mandelkern expresses his satisfaction that he has published his eyewitness account, at a time when some people are trying to distort the history of the mistreatment of the Jews in the Second World War. He recounts his many close calls in encounters with German soldiers.
