The testimony of Solly Irving
A Holocaust survior
For the last eight years Solly Irving, a Jewish holocaust survivor from london has responded to requests and made an annual visit to Plymouth to share his personal testimony.
How can a child of 12, seperated from his parents, sisters and community, survive? But somehow he did. As solly says, "I was destined to survive"
Solly was finally liberated by the Russians in May 1945 at Theresienstadt Camp, Czechoslovakia. He was just 14 years old, the only survior from his lage family. He was one of the first group of children to be offered a home here in England. Collectively the group became known as "The Boys" and a book of the same title, about the group, was written by Sir Martin Gilbert.
Solly often asks his young audiences to be his future witnesses. May this DVD perpetuate that contribution and encourage us all to work for a better world.
