Holocaust survivor Morris Glass talked about his life in Poland during World War II. Mr. Glass is the focus of author Carolyn Murray Happer’s book Chosen for Destruction: The Story of a Holocaust Survivor. Mr. Glass spent four and a half years in Jewish Ghettos in the Polish cities of Pabianice and Lodz, 2 months at the infamous Auschwitz-Birkenau camp, and 8 months in the Dachau camp system. Liberated by the American army in 1945, he emigrated to the U.S. and is now a public speaker.
