Surviving the Holocaust: Life Under the Shadow of Nazi Antisemitism | Return to Auschwitz

Examine the role antisemitism and the Nazi culture of hate played in the life of Czech Holocaust survivor Vladimir Munk. Students follow Munk from his childhood in post-WWI Czechoslovakia through his deportation first to the Theresienstadt camp-ghetto and then to Auschwitz-Birkenau, where his parents were murdered. Finally, students see Munk's return to Auschwitz at the age of 95, where he grappled with the legacy of the Holocaust and his own survival.
