Samuel Beller was born in Oświęcim, Poland. He recalls the anxious feeling the Jews of his town felt weeks before the invasion of Poland by the Nazis: the fiery, red-painted sky, an indication that something terrible was on the horizon. He was right.
On September 1, 1939, the Nazis invaded. The town he grew up in would be the home of the infamous Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and extermination camp.
