PhD at 81!

Tribute to Eliezer Schwartz for completing his PhD aged 81! He stated the following:

“At 16 I was taken to Aushwitz and then moved from camp to camp for a year until the end of the war,” Schwartz told of his past. “After liberation, I returned to my hometown in Hungary, but I saw that no other members of my family had returned, so I decided to emigrate to Israel.”

Israel was the place of refuge, a nation that should have existed long before the Holocaust that would have provided refuge and shelter from Nazi tyranny and murder, but the international community, foremost Britain, failed to make that happen...
