Holocaust Surviver Lecture

Last Thursdays lecture was given by a very intresting man, Zoltan Collis a surviver of the Nazi's concentration camps. He told us all his very moving story of how, when he was five yars old he and his family were taken away from their home in the peaceful Slovackian countryside to a German concentration camp. He is one of just four holocaust survivers living in Ireland at the moment, people like him are very rare. Zoltan had a good sence of humour which helped lighten the mood in the room as he spoke to us about this very dark subject. He played us part of a documentery half way through his talk to give us a sence of what the camp he was held capticve in was like. His story was very interesting but very sad. His mother died the day everybody in the camp was freed by the British. He came to Ireland as a refugee at the end of the war and has lived here ever since.
