 Ted Bolgar visiting Polish Concentration Camps |
Presentation:
The following is excerpted from the September 2005 issue of "The Link", Concordia's independent newspaper: Ted Bolgar, a Hungarian Jew who survived life in a ghetto, concentrationcamps like Auschwitz and Dachau, and a death march, recounted his first reactions when he discovered the proportions of the Holocaust. “I hated those who killed us,” he said in the St-Jean de Brébeuf parish on Sept. 15. His mother and his 13-year-old sister died in gas chambers when they first arrived to Auschwitz because they were considered unable to work. “And I hated the rest of the world for what they didn’t do for us,” he added. But with the passing of time, Bolgar realized that surviving was a gift that came with two obligations: to establish continuity by setting up a family, and not to let the world forget the Holocaust. |
