Thomas Geve was just 15 years old when he was liberated from Buchenwald concentration camp on 11 April 1945. It was the third concentration camp he had survived. During the 22 months he was imprisoned, he was forced to observe first-hand the inhumane world of Nazi concentration camps. On his eventual release, Thomas felt compelled to capture daily life in the death camps in more than eighty profoundly moving drawings. He detailed this dark period of history with remarkable accuracy.
Despite the unspeakable events he experienced, Thomas decided to become an active witness and tell the truth about life in the camps. He has spoken to audiences from around the world and joins Dan on the podcast for Holocaust Memorial Day. They discuss Thomas\\u2019 rare living testimony, how as a child he had the unique ability to document the details around him, and his book \\u2018The Boy Who Drew Auschwitz: A Powerful True Story of Hope and Survival\\u2019.
Thomas\\u2019 daughter Yifat, also kindly shares with Dan the lasting impact of her father\\u2019s experiences.
