Longtime Charlotte area religion writer, Ken Garfield, recently took on a new project to find and interview Holocaust survivors still living here in the Charlotte area. He was able to speak to nearly all of the twelve remaining survivors in our area and compiled his conversations into a new feature that appears in this month’s Charlotte Magazine. For Garfield, born and raised Jewish, the project is the fulfillment of a promise he made to himself long ago. We’ll talk to Garfield and two of the survivors featured in the piece.
Guests
Ken Garfield – Former Religion Editor at the Charlotte Observer, he now writes occassionally for Charlotte Magazine
Irving Bienstock – 83 years old, Holocaust survivor from Holland
Dr. Susan Cernyak-Spatz – 87 years old, Holocaust survivor from Vienna who survived Auschwitz, Theresienstadt and Ravensbruck

I forgot to call in and ask them why the numbers of Jews who were supposedly gassed at Auschwitz have been revised down many times now, from a supposed 4 million in the 40s/50s to only about 1 million today. Why the huge discrepancy? Other camps also have similar discrepancies.

Maybe because that isn’t true and you spend too much time on conspiracy theory websites. I suggest going back to school and getting your GED. Its never to late to get an education.

Listened to the show on 90.7…my daughter is studying the Holocaust in middle school and was thinking having a survivor come and speak to the students would be an eye opening experience for them. Is there a way to contact the guests and ask?
