Fred Spiegel

 Fred Spiegel was born in Dinslaken, Germany in 1932.  After Kristallnacht, his parents sent him to live with relatives in Holland.  With the German invasion of Holland, he was sent to three concentration camps.  After the war, Fred was reunited with his mother and sister. His memoir describes the lives of the victims and survivors prior to 1933 and the survivors after 1945.  It also tells the story of his childhood from Kristallnacht to his life in the concentration camps to his liberation in 1945.
