INTERVIEWS
Holocaust survivor David Wolnerman
Listen to David’s story in his own words as he recounts how he was only 13 years old when the Nazis took him to a labor camp from his birthplace in Mondzejow, Poland, which was a town of approximately 10,000, half of whom were Jews. David recounts the antisemitism growing up, going from a labor camp to Auschwitz-Birkenau where he worked in the crematorium. He learned about the medical experiment performed at Auschwitz-Birkenau and contrived to be transferred. David speaks briefly of liberation, coming to America and going into business with his brother-in-law. Read David’s story in A Lucky Lie: The Power of 18, available on Amazon.com.

Jennie Wolnerman's story
Listen to Jennie Wolnerman’s story in her own words. David’s wife Jennie came from Bedzin, Poland. She described her family and their well-to-do life before the Nazis came. Jennie was sent to a labor camp and two sisters joined her there in 1943. When the Russians got close to the factory, the prisoners were marched from Germany to Prague, Czechoslovakia. She and seven other young women escaped into the woods, begging and/or stealing food from nearby farms. At one house, Jennie was befriended by an anti-Nazi German/Czech who hid Jennie and the other girls in her attic for about two weeks until the Americans came.Jennie ends the interview with details of her post-liberation and post-WWII life.
