From Buchenwald to Hollywood, The Robert Clary Story 

All high school students should be made to watch this video. May this never happen again.❤

Such a moving film, and what a guy! Alav ha Shalom.

My dad used to hang out with him and others as a kid. Dad left Paris the night of the vel d’hiv round up and joined the resistance.

No one should ever forget

I lost it when he had to say goodbye to his mother for the last time. 🥺

What a incredible journey Mr Clary went through… my you have peace now with all your family and friends welcome to heaven

My mother passed away one year ago and had the tattoo from Auschwitz all her life. She loved Robert Clary and her first cousin, who I met many times, was in the concentration camp together with him and remembers him well because she remembered how well he used to whistle and sing.

This was very interesting learning and relearning things I knew of his life! and thinking what an example he gave all of us of how we all should try to live !

My favorite show Hogans Heroes unbelievable story

Robert Clary (born Robert Max Widerman; March 1, 1926 - November 16, 2022) was a French-American actor, singer, author, artist, and lecturer. He is best known for his role in the television sitcom Hogan's Heroes as Corporal Louis LeBeau (1965 to 1971). He also had recurring roles in the soap operas The Bold and the Beautiful (1990 to 1992), and Days of Our Lives (1972 to 1987) Born in 1926 in Paris, France, Clary was the youngest of 14 children, 10 of whom would die in the Holocaust.[1] At the age of twelve, he began a career singing professionally on a French radio station and also studied art in Paris. In 1942, because he was Jewish, he was deported to the Nazi concentration camp at Ottmuth, in Upper Silesia (now Otmęt, Poland). He was tattooed with the identification "A5714" on his left forearm. He was later sent to Buchenwald concentration camp. At Buchenwald, he sang to an audience of SS soldiers every other Sunday, accompanied by an accordionist. He said, "Singing, entertaining, and being in kind of good health at my age, that's why I survived. I was very immature and young and not really fully realizing what situation I was involved with ... I don't know if I would have survived if I really knew that."Writing about his experience, Clary said, We were not even human beings. When we got to Buchenwald, the SS shoved us into a shower room to spend the night. I had heard the rumors about the dummy shower heads that were gas jets. I thought, 'This is it.' But no, it was just a place to sleep. During the first eight days there, the Germans kept us without a crumb to eat. We were hanging on to life by pure guts, sleeping on top of each other, every morning waking up to find a new corpse next to us. ... The whole experience was a complete nightmare - the way they treated us, what we had to do to survive. We were less than animals. Sometimes I dream about those days. I wake up in a sweat terrified for fear I'm about to be sent away to a concentration camp, but I don't hold a grudge because that's a great waste of time. Yes, there's something dark in the human soul. For the most part, human beings are not very nice. That's why when you find those who are, you cherish them. Clary was liberated from Buchenwald on April 11, 1945. Twelve other members of his immediate family were sent to Auschwitz concentration camp; Clary was the only survivor. When he returned to Paris after World War II, he learned that three of his 13 siblings had not been taken away and had survived the Nazi occupation of France. In 1965, the diminutive 155 cm (5 ft 1 in) Clary was offered the role of Corporal Louis LeBeau on a new television sitcom called Hogan's Heroes, and he accepted the role when the pilot sold. The series was set in a German prisoner of war (POW) camp during World War II, and Clary played a French POW who was a member of an Allied sabotage unit operating from inside the camp. Asked about parallels between LeBeau's incarceration and his own, Clary said, "Stalag 13 is not a concentration camp. It's a POW camp, and that's a world of difference. You never heard of a prisoner of war being gassed or hanged. When the show went on the air, people asked me if I had any qualms about doing a comedy series dealing with Nazis and concentration camps. I had to explain that it was about prisoners of war in a Stalag, not a concentration camp, and although I did not want to diminish what soldiers went through during their internments, it was like night and day from what people endured in concentration camps." Clary became one of the last two surviving principal cast members of Hogan's Heroes, with Kenneth Washington (Sergeant Richard Baker, final season), when Cynthia Lynn (Helga, first season, 1965-1966) died on March 10, 2014. He was the last surviving original principal cast member. After Hogan's Heroes was canceled in 1971, Clary maintained close ties to fellow Hogan's Heroes cast members Werner Klemperer, John Banner, and Leon Askin, whose lives were also affected by the Holocaust. Following the show's cancellation, he appeared in a handful of feature films with World War II themes, including the made-for-television film Remembrance of Love, about the Holocaust. Clary also appeared on the soap operas Days of Our Lives, The Young and the Restless, and The Bold and the Beautiful. Clary appeared in the 1975 film The Hindenburg, which portrayed a fictional plot to blow up the German airship after it arrived at the Lakehurst Naval Air Station. He played Joseph Späh, a real-life passenger on the airship's final voyage. Clary spent years touring Canada and the United States, speaking about the Holocaust. He was a painter, painting from photographs he took on his travels. Clary published a memoir, From the Holocaust to Hogan's Heroes: The Autobiography of Robert Clary, in 2001. Clary died at his Los Angeles home on November 16, 2022, at the age of 96 Take care and God bless

What a Man.!

Unfortunately, their are those, many of them in positions of leadership today that would support this type of "social modification" even today. Why else do they support the separation and division that is so much a part of our society currently.
