Inside, it was hard to believe the well-tanned man with a professor's demeanor was the same person the audience has glimpsed moments before in a black and white photo from Auschwitz in 1940. Any trace of the boy's hollow face was gone. He recalled his walks home after school, always crossing the street to the other sidewalk whenever he came across the church. He warned that in the years to come there would be no more living witnesses to retell the story of how the Jews were massacred. Honor the memory as we enter the 21st Century.
