Abstract/Description
Holocaust survivor Ben Jacobs discusses his experiences during the Holocaust as part of the Philip N. Backstrom Survivor Lecture Series held during Northeastern University's annual Holocaust Awareness Week. Jacobs, originally from Poland, was a young dental student when he was deported to a labor camp. In 1943 he was sent to Auschwitz and, after surviving the death march, spent time in Buchenwald and other camps, including one on a ship. His dental skills enabled him to survive.
