Freddie Knoller didn’t just survive the Holocaust by luck; he survived because he was a master of disguise, even leading German soldiers to the city’s bars and brothels just to keep his true identity a secret.

For many years, Freddie didn’t tell anyone about what he went through. He moved to the United States and then to England, got married, and had children. It took fifty years before he finally shared his secret. He realized that the world needed to hear his story so that nobody would ever forget what happened.

Freddie lived to be 100 years old, proving that hate can be very strong, but the human will to live is even stronger.

The truth is a light that never goes out. By sharing his story after many years of silence, Freddie taught us that we must speak up so that history doesn’t repeat itself.
