A Father-and-Son Survival Story | Nate Leipciger on Father’s Day | USC Shoah Foundation

[@allshookup1640]

As of today, 4/19/2024, Mr. Leipciger is still alive and well! Working to educate and advocate for tolerance. What an amazing man and an amazing story!

What an amazing story. To survive so many camps and so many selections. 1,000 miracles is indeed what it took to survive. 😢

[@johnforeman634]

Wow. What a story. When he broke down at the end, so did I.

[@deecawford]

Very humble respectful man. Thank you sir for sharing this chapter of your life. Your parents loved you and tried to keep you safe. Your father loved you, oh the relationship of a father and teenage son.

[@Lynn-er9yx]

What an incredible testimony -- thank you Mr. Lepciger.

[@margaretphilomenagibbons774]

Thank you Mr Leipcger . A great person , a triumphant life despite all the suffering during the war . Blessed now with a lovely family

THAT IS INCREDIBLE! This man had only 5 years of formal education... learned introductory algebra English after the war and ... "On arrival in Toronto in 1948, Mr. Leipciger entered Harbord Collegiate Institute, graduating in 1950. After one year of Honours Science at the University of Toronto, he transferred to Electrical Engineering and graduated in 1955 with the degree of BASc."... In 1962, together with three partners, he established a Mechanical and Electrical Consulting Engineering firm. In 2008, they became a subsidiary of a multi-national engineering firm. At that time, the firm consisted of over 100 engineers and designers who came from 26 different countries. What is clear is that aside from being so accomplished, he is a humble man

In the late 60's early 70's Nate's firm provided engineering services to our Architectural firm on many projects and it was always such a rich experience working with him and his associates. I remember well a very long lunch I had with him and he shared with me much of the saga of his journey with his father. From a distance I have followed his later life. A truly remarkable man.

[@onion6foot]

I am very thankful to hear this man; his words and heart.

[@rescuepetsrule6842]

I think this is one of the best testimonies. Mr. Leipciger's sharp memory and his character made for a fast moving story full of details. Keeping his faith while so many others did not is a testament I admire. I'm so glad he had his father with him and ended up with a beautiful wife and family. SALUTE, Mr. Leipciger!

[@jeanettebuckman830]

I have watched a lot of these testimonies and this would have to be the best such a wonderful man .His Father and him were definitely working as a team to survive. Personally I would not have survived . Thank you

[@sheridavis261]

This interview was very moving. Thank you for sharing!

[@fuensantacampillogomez3288]

Your father is extraordinary, and you are for him. United they survived, out of bravery and out of love. Great testimony for future generations. Thanks a lot!

[@britlew5933]

What a wonderful man, so well spoken and managed to stay human after all the hardship he endured.

[@carolbaker9651]

Thankyou Mr Leipcger your testimonial is much appreciated it's wonderful to see your family growing

[@cobievanthoenderdaal1059]

Beautiful how mr. Leipciger did not lose his faith in God.

[@putziiputz9439]

Very visual story. At times had to pause.. its horrendous how inhuman and conditioned you become under such circumstances. I'm very glad they survived. I'm so Sorry about other family members and many many many others! God be with you all.💫🌺🌸🌺💫

[@joshharris9788]

Thank you, sir, for sharing your story. You are a wonderful man. We must never forget..

[@Epimor]

Thank you for your testimony. You were such a naughty boy, or should I say creativ. 🙂Your story is so fascinating, and your brain saved you so many times.

[@laviadellacabala970]

Wonderful man, wonderful testimony

[@helenh493]

A very interesting story, of father and son in a dangerous time of life, death, and of survival. But what sort of friends he grew up & played with.. they no doubt were all very immature and somewhat 'fair-weathered' and fickle, and confused, thanks to the biased Priests, and no doubt their parents. But this was only the beginnings of more trying and dangerous times to come. His father was very caring, protective of him, and savvy. a very smart man and parent. Bless both of them and their family and heritage. His fathers common sense, and (so-called) savvy Smarts.. save him and preserved his bloodline for generations.

[@tammymakin2492]

Hank you for your interview'brave and very patient with the intetviewer'who kept changing yr direction of memorys And asking some silly questions

[@cindyseverson2917]

Thank you for sharing your story!May we never forget! The guy doing the interview was kind of rude.

Amazing, resilient man

I love these captions. *Non English* *pauses for 4 seconds*

Thank you

[@paulo-er9bz]

I couldn’t hear well

[@gus3776]

Why does the audio suck on all these videos?

[@loisrogers9042]

I found it very interesting that he said he doesn't blame God, because that would be letting the nazis off the hook. Even though I'm probably agnostic (never sure), I like that explanation of free will.

[@laviadellacabala970]

The interviewer wasn't listening and asked lots of silly questions

[@dominicgodfrey8015]

Thank you for the upload. I've been trying to contact organisations involved in Jewish history. I have been working on a well known anonymous riddle for over a year and believe I know its author and its overarching theme. Due to it's subject matter I want to be very sure I have all the facts. I'm not an academic so as an outsider I'm finding it very difficult to even get an email response. Any help would be much appreciated 🙏

What was the point of interviewing a higher percentage of the secular 😢

[@jackmercer4244]

Im a 5th generation holocst survivor

[@stephenfisher3721]

I don't understand your math. How can it possibly be 5th generation? If a generation is 20 years, 5 generations would be 100 years.

[@jackmercer4244]

@@stephenfisher3721 if you're math is so great, then how long would it take to to bake 6 million jws?

[@rescuepetsrule6842]

YOU are NOT a Holocaust survivor- your relative was. I know what you mean, but your wording is not only misleading, your math is... off, and you seem to want to claim glory.

My grandfather who was 12 years old when the war started, and he told me when the Germans came into his town he could smell them, he told me that a couple of young soldiers came into his home asking for water, he said they wanted to rest for a bit and one of them took his boots off, and he said the stench was putrid and that it lingered in their home for days.
