Two versions of an interview with Holocaust survivor Joseph Frank with Esther Finder. Mr. Frank is asked about his arrival in the United States and his experiences after World War II, and finding out what happened to members of his family. He also discusses how he came to Las Vegas to be near his children.
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.
