My dad survived the Holocaust and today I ask this of you: resist the antisemitism blighting our world | Tracy Moses
Harry Spiro endured two Nazi camps, but at 94, he has lived to see anti-Jewish hatred rise again. We must learn from the past
- Tracy Moses works with the Holocaust Educational Trust to share her experiences of being a second-generation survivor
My dad is a hero. That's a term thrown around a lot, and it is not surprising to hear a daughter call their dad a hero. But what makes my dad different is that tens of thousands of other people think my dad, Harry, is a hero too.
Harry Spiro was born in 1929 in Piotrkow Trybunalski, Poland. He was 10 years old when the Nazis invaded, and it would not be long before he and his family were forced out of their homes and into the first ghetto established by the Nazis in Poland. He is now 94 years old, and he is a Holocaust survivor.
