Judy Altmann, Yakob Basner: Yom HaShoah

For Yom HaShoah (Holocaust commemoration day), which occurs this
year on Apr. 23, 2017, we present interviews conducted today with
Holocaust survivors Yakob Basner and Judy Altmann. Basner was
born and raised in Riga, Latvia. He survived the Riga ghetto,
five concentration camps, and a death march. We reached Basner by
phone at his home in Seal Beach, CA. Altmann was born and raised
in Jasina, Czechoslovakia, a small town in the Carpathian
mountains (now Yasinya, Ukraine). She survived Auschwitz, labor
camps, and a death march to the Bergen Belsen concentration camp.
We reached Altmann by phone at her home in Stamford, CT.
