These seminars are the most intellectually rigorous and challenging (in a good way) experiences I’ve had the privilege to participate in and/or follow. Highly recommend @HolocaustMuseum @rcarterchand

Luigi Ferri was deported from Italy to Auschwitz-Birkenau when he was 11 years old. There, he was protected by Jewish inmate and physician Otto Wolken. Luigi, then age 12, was one of 500 children under age 15 liberated at Auschwitz. Most children deported there were murdered.
Child survivor, Luigi Ferri, poses with the Austrian Jewish physician who looked after him during their internment in Auschwitz.
