“I am originally from Czechoslovakia, and I ran away to Budapest during the Holocaust. At that time, the Zionist Organization, which was like the Red Cross for Jewish people, gave me paperwork to prove to the Nazis that I was a gentile. With these papers, I went into the ghetto and saved a lot of other teenagers by giving them papers as well. I risked my life. I was lucky they never checked me or I wouldn’t be here today.”
