Ben Lesser, Holocaust Survivor and Educator, for Yom HaShoah

Listen Later
  • Ben Lesser, a Holocaust survivor born in Cracow in 1928, describes his many ordeals and nearly miraculous survival of the Holocaust as a boy, from the beginning of the war in 1939 to liberation in 1945. Ben founded and runs, with his family, the The ZACHOR Holocaust Remembrance Foundation, dedicated to preserving the memory and spreading awareness of the Holocaust. He published his memoir Living a Life That Matters: from Nazi Nightmare to American Dream in 2012, and it's available for purchase in various formats at his foundation's website. Now in his mid-90's, Ben is still very active as a Holocaust educator, telling his story for groups around the world, mostly on Zoom in recent years.
