In honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day this week, we look back at our special interview with a 97-year-old Auschwitz survivor. William Harvey was just 19 when Nazi soldiers knocked on his door and forced him and his family into a ghetto, where they were later crammed in a cattle car to make the harrowing journey to the Auschwitz concentration camp. Harvey tells host Giselle Fernandez that he was separated from the rest of his family almost immediately and never saw his mother again. Since being liberated from the camp, Harvey has somehow found peace with what happened despite all he went through. He immigrated to Los Angeles, where he opened two successful beauty salons, and often speaks at Holocaust Museum LA with hopes that his story reminds people of the importance of speaking out against hatred and injustice.
