Benny Grunfeld and
Herman Grunfeld Z"l 1952 |
|
Benny Grunfeld spent 4 years in Israel during this time as a volunteer in the Israeli air force. Benny, who is now retired, devotes his life to speaking to high school students all over the world (mostly in Sweden) about his experiences during the Holocaust. He has written a book called "A Teenager in Hitler's Death Camp," which was recently translated into English and is available through Amazon.com. He, like Herman, was an artist (part time) and has illustrated the book with his paintings from his memory of those events. There has also been a documentary film made about him revisiting Auschwitz that was originally aired on Swedish television. He was here in May of 2009 to give one of his talks, where about 400 people attended and he was presented a citation by the Governor of Massachusetts. His book is also available at the Holocaust center in Washington DC. | |
