Holocaust survivor, humanities professor, author, linguist, humanitarian, winner of the Nobel Prize for Peace. Look him up.

Better still, read Night, his account of life during the Holocaust

Thank you Boru, for the answer Smile I feel bad now for not knowing who he was. I'll do some reading.

Someone well worth Googling. He was sent to Auschwitz with his family when he was 15, and write "Night" about his experience. It was so real and raw and beautiful and terrible. He was a remarkable humanitarian, and his loss everyone's loss.
