Sam Harris has every right to be bitter, angry, suffering, anything anyone who has gone through unspeakable hardship may feel — instead, he’s none of those things. Instead, he smiles. The life in his face is genuine. The glint in his eyes says “you can’t beat me.”
Born Szlamek Rzeznik in Deblin, Poland, the 83-year-old is one of the youngest Holocaust survivors. His book “Sammy: Child Survivor of the Holocaust” details his life and the sacrifices made by his family and many other families.
He is the President Emeritus of the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center in Skokie, a longtime member of the Rotary Club of Northbrook, and the subject of a Sharon Stone produced documentary called “An Undeniable Voice.”
