Willy was born in Krakow, Poland in 1923.
After the war started, he was forced into unpaid labour by the Nazis.
When the Jews were forced into a ghetto, Willy's family moved to Myslenice where his grandmother lived. By 1942 Willy was sent to work in a nearby labour camp. Soon after, the rest of his family was murdered in Belzec extermination camp.
Willy was sent to other camps where he worked hard and was brutalised by the guards, before arriving in Auschwitz. From there he endured further torture and when he was finally liberated he was barely alive, 180cm tall but weighing only 38 kgs.

Beautiful man who I had the privilege to meet several times. Rest in peace Willy.

How can he be so sane, after what he went through? Amazing.

My 14 yo niece said in school 99 percent of the curriculum in history class is black history. I almost threw up with anger when I heard that

Amazing survival testimony from Mr. Lermer, with a beautiful message about tolerance for your fellow man at the end. Holocaust studies should be MANDATORY in schools. I feel the US high school history curriculum, just breezes over the topic. The world must learn. History travels in a circle...not a line. We are losing Shoah survivors - and the Greatest Generation. They will be gone soon. It is pur responsibility to teach new generations. This horrific time must never be forgotten. 🙏

Never forget! Extremely important these days, people seem very divided. Very very sad still happening only elsewhere.

I have listened to this twice, amazing story! So many beautiful lies, intelligent, family, loving, or murdered. What a sad waste.

Great testimony from a great man 🌟

As of today, May 8th, 2024 many people have totally forgotten what happened in Europe starting in 1933. Never forget has fallen on death ears. I am so sorry for what is happened. I am a Catholic gentile, and my heart blades for the Jewish people, and Israel.

Wild beasts don't descend to these levels...we can't call it bestiality.....It's pure evil, cruelty on a daily basis just below the surface, (even now in abattoirs). And waiting to emerge should conditions make it possible.....we can always strive to be better souls, it's one thing worth achieving in life. The collective psyche of nations is deficient in compassion, for all mankind...for animals too.
