Holocaust survivor Ben Lesser does an Ask Me Anything
Lesser was born in Poland in 1928. Most of his family were killed by Nazis. He moved to the United States, became a realtor, and has spent much of his life trying to "prevent the world from developing amnesia."

I'm the grandson of a WW2 vet so I've always been interested in this time period. I also had the good fortune to do some video production work with a survivors shooting a series of interviews.

I was too busy trying to live and prevent dying. Suicide never entered my thoughts.

There are always ways to live a life that matters, it's never too late.
