Dr. Eugene Bergman, author of Survival Artist, will narrate his experiences as a young boy during the Holocaust. His vividly detailed presentation will describe how he narrowly escaped death by living in constant vigil and continuously dodging the ever-present threat of a Nazi capture. Bergman was struck Deaf by the butt of a German soldier's rifle while playing with other children. He believes that being Deaf may have saved his life several times over.
