Sol Wachsberg, survivor of the
Holocaust, shared his personal ex
periences in concentration camps
and educated Texas A&M students
on the Holocaust of World War II in
an effort to help prevent history from
repeating itself.
Dr. Arnold Krammer, a history
professor at Texas A&M, said it is im
portant for students to learn from
people who experienced the parts of
history they learn about.
“There’s no better way to learn
history than to talk to the people
who were there,” he said.
Wachsberg said effects were im
mediately felt in Poland during the
the beginning of World War II, with
planes flying over and casualties oc
curring within the first few hours of
the war.
Wachsberg said Jewish people
began evacuating their homes with
in the first two days of fighting, but
they were overrun by the Germans
and forced to return. Wachsberg
said, as the first atrocities of the war
began, Polish people were required
to work for the Germans and chil
dren were not allowed to attend
school.
Wachsberg was taken to a con
centration camp at age 14 and even
tually passed through 11 camps.
Wachsberg said there was a total
of 9,000 concentration camps during
the war, and they varied in terms of
living conditions. He said some pro
vided decent sanitary conditions,
but the poor sanitation of other
camps caused outbreaks of typhus
and dysentery.
Wachsberg said most
