Sam Silberberg was 10 years old when he was living with his family in Poland in 1939 when the Nazis invaded. Already dealing with widespread anti-semitism, Jews in Poland were rounded up and shipped off to death camps by the thousands. Wit and grit enabled Sam to evade capture for many months while providing goods through underground markets to his fellow Jews. Eventually Sam was captured and worked as a slave in the Blechhammer concentration camp - a subcamp of Auschwitz - with his father. Toward the end of the war, Sam was able to escape and find his mother. Sam then moved to the newly created nation of Israel, which he also fought to defend, before moving to the United States in 1952. He remained quiet about his experience in the Holocaust for about 50 years, but then chose to open up and write his book, "From Hell to the Promised Land: a Boy's Daring Escape from a Nazi Concentration Camp," which you can buy on Amazon. Sam is now 92 and lives with his wife in southern California. He continues to educate people about the Holocaust, and many of his interviews can be found on YouTube.
