Press release:
From 1942-1945, while most American children were busy playing ball or riding bikes, a 7 year old Ike Feiges was bravely trying to stay alive for 3 years in a place synonymous with death: the Concentration Camp and Death Factory called Auschwitz-Birkanow. Ike miraculously escaped the tentacles of the Nazis and their mad leaders bent on wiping out every vestige of Jewish life and culture.Born in Czenowitzh, Romania, Ike started life in a typical middle-class home. His nightmare began with the proverbial “knock on the door.” He was taken on a freight train as a young boy of eight, with his mother, two sisters and father to Auschwitz.
After a harrowing two-day train ride with hardly any food and water, Ike was separated from his family. He was then hidden in the barracks under floorboards by a family friend. When Russia liberated the camp in 1945, Ike and his reunited family were sent to a DP (displaced persons) camp in Vienna and eventually to one in Germany, before entering the U.S. in 1951 and settling in Baltimore, MD. Ike went on to work for the Federal government as a successful electrical engineer.
On the second night, encouraged by his friend of 30 years, Randy Nussbaum, Ike Feiges shared the story of his experience as a prisoner at Auschwizt as a child during WWll.

Those in attendance stated what Chanukah meant to them. The overriding sentiments expressed were family and tradition.
Both of these holidays were celebrated joyously by those who attended, and much fun was had by all. Herbert and I were honored to be a part of both. All the photos and videos above were done by Herbert. Happy Holidays!
