First Person with Sam Ponczak, April 11, 2019

Through the First Person program, Holocaust survivors have the opportunity to share their remarkable personal stories of hope, tragedy, and survival with thousands of visitors at the Museum. This program was recorded on April 11, 2019. It features Sam Ponczak, who was born in Warsaw, Poland, on December 14, 1937. In November 1940, Sam and his parents escaped the Warsaw ghetto and fled to Soviet occupied Poland. They survived in the Soviet Union in a labor camp and returned to Poland after the War. They later left Poland for France and then Argentina before settling in the United States in 1964.
