~We were privileged on Thursday to listen to the life story of Robi Fischer. Mr. Fischer was a 7 year old boy when he was sent to Theresienstadt (Terezin) Concentration Camp in Czechoslovakia with his grandmother and grandfather. His mother was sent to work with a government official as a cook. He witnessed the murder of his grandfather. He was a child who performed for the International Red Cross when the Nazis tried to fool the world with fake restaurants, cafes, schools, pools etc. As soon as the Red Cross left, most of the participants in the hoax were murdered. Mr. Fischer was one of the lucky ones. He did not attend school until he was 13 years old in America. Did anyone else make connections to Misha Pilsudski?
