Shoah survivors: Werner Reich

 Shoah survivors: Werner Reich by ric gustafson


A lot of people ask Werner Reich about Auschwitz. He tells them it was lousy. Werner is a magician. He's been one for a long time. He learned his first trick when he was in the death camp. It was a trick of sleight of hand. 
Survival is not simple. He was freed from Mauthausen 75 years ago. He was a teenager with no education and no skills. He began a new life in England. First as a manual laborer. He studied at night. He learned English. He went to high school and then college. A family came. Now three generations of people are alive because he survived. A career as an engineer in the US came.
Werner Reich is still a magician.
