Nelly Grussgott, 87, was born in Berlin and survived the rise of Nazi Germany, witnessing Kristallnacht firsthand.
Though she and her mother eventually made it safely to the US, her father and others were not so lucky.
In a live interview with the World Jewish Congress, Nelly describes her incredible, tragic story of survival.
This interview is the second in a series of conversations with Holocaust survivors.
Last month, the WJC spoke with Sami Steigmann, a survivor who today is a a client of Selfhelp Community Services, Inc., the largest provider of comprehensive services to Holocaust survivors in North America.
