Holocaust Survivor Martin Weiss Interview

The American Red Cross conducted a campaign encouraging interaction between youth and Holocaust survivors. Over the course of two weeks, nine interviews were collected in the Washington, DC area focusing on the legacy of those who died during the Holocaust and its survivors. Collectively, these interviews share a hope for the future, and call on today's youth and future generations to stand up against prejudice and prevent future genocides.

Martin Weiss is a Holocaust survivor and a volunteer with the US Holocaust Memorial Museum. He was interviewed by Anna Scherr and Sam Breslin. They talked about his work speaking with youth about his experiences during the Holocaust. He highlighted the importance of drawing connections between bullying and the prejudice that can lead to atrocities such as the Holocaust.
