Yehuda Meisels was already on an "enemy of the state" list when he was sent on one of the first transports to Auschwitz. This presentation will review what led to his inclusion on the list, his time in Auschwitz, and the miracles that enabled him to survive the camp, the death march, and his rescue by a Texas soldier. It will also cover what came after – how he ended up working with the US Army and the Joint Distribution Committee to help run one of the largest Displaced Persons camps in Germany after the war – and how these experiences affected his later life.
