Frank Islan Athenaeum Symposia: Holocaust Survivor Henry Greenbaum

Mr. Henry Greenbaum was twelve when the Germans occupied his hometown in Poland. Over the next six years, he was forced to live in a ghetto, to perform slave labor and to live in concentration camps and was sent on a death march. He was finally liberated by the American Army in 1945, but had lost his mother and five of his eight siblings. He emigrated from Poland to the United States and built a new life in Montgomery County, Maryland.
