In this episode I am talking to Max Eisen who lived through a 13-day death march from Auschwitz to Loslau and there he was loaded onto metal boxcars made for transporting coal and sent to Mauthausen and then from Melk he participated in a three-day march in the mountains to Ebensee until he was liberated on May 6, 1945.
Max Eisen is the author of the book "By Chance Alone", a story of courage, determination, and resiliency. He received the Order of Canada award on December 29th, 2021 for his contributions to Holocaust education, and for his promotion of transformational dialogue on human rights, tolerance and respect.
The Order of Canada is one of the highest civilian honours.
