SUMMARY:USHMM | 2025 First Person Series: Emanuel “Manny” Mandel
DESCRIPTION:When eight-year-old Emanuel “Manny” Mandel and his mother escaped German-occupied Budapest in summer 1944\, their tense journey did not go as expected. Nazi and Hungarian authorities had begun deporting several thousand Jews per day to the Auschwitz-Birkenau killing center. To save lives\, leaders in the Jewish community negotiated with Nazi officials\, initially hoping to suspend the deportations.\nThey eventually reached a deal to send nearly 1\,700 Jewish refugees\, including Manny and his mother\, to a neutral territory. Little did they know the Nazis would divert their train to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.\nSpeakerEmanuel “Manny” Mandel\, Holocaust Survivor and Museum Volunteer\nModeratorBill Benson\, Journalist and Host\, First Person: Conversations with Holocaust Survivors\nWatch live at youtube.com/ushmm.
