Shoah survivors: Ernest Weiss

 Shoah survivors: Ernest Weiss by ric gustafson


In 1948, Ernest Weiss arrived in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. Pittsburgh was picked because he was assigned a family and a social worker. He did not know English or have a trade. He was angry. He got a job at a haberdashery shop. He went to night school to learn English. 
Pittsburgh was a long way from Czechoslovakia. Eventually, someone told Ernest it does not snow in Los Angeles. He got a job as a haberdasher. Now, he spends a lot of time dancing with his wife.
Now, he cannot see but Ernest can still dance.
