Essays by Tom Figueras give details about his brother, Ladizlav or "Laci," who was a prodigy violin player in Germany during the Holocaust, and eventually ended up in a sub-camp of Buchenwald and then in Bergen-Belsen where he perished. Figueras survived the Holocaust, but his parents did not. He came to the United States in 1960 and became a marketing manager for a telecommunications company.
