Holocaust survivor, author to speak Feb. 3
In 1944, the Nazis took 13-year-old Stephen Nasser and 21 members of his family to Auschwitz and Muhldorf Concentration Camps. He was the only member of his family to survive the horrendous experience.
While at Muhldorf, he secretly wrote a diary which later became his book, “My Brother’s Voice.” This award-winning book, currently in its seventh print and published in the United States, Austria, Germany and Switzerland, describes in detail Nasser’s experiences while a prisoner of the Nazis.
From 4 to 6 p.m., Monday, Feb. 3, the international author and Holocaust survivor will share his story of the power of determination, love and survival. The special, free engagement will be hosted by the Friends of the Upland Public Library. It will be held in the Carnegie Cultural Center at 123 E. D St., Upland.
