Schwarzbart, husband, father, respected teacher, survivor of the Holocaust, was born in Vienna in 1933. He fled with his parents to Belgium after Austria was annexed, at the end of 1938. In 1943 he was hidden in a Catholic boys’ school in the Belgian Ardennes until the Liberation. In 1948 he and his mother came to the United States. He eventually received his undergraduate and graduate degrees at UC Berkeley. His teaching career spanned 45 years. He has spoken well over 500 times in various venues (including the California State Assembly in Sacramento) recounting his life experiences as a hidden child. In 1988 Schwarzbart’s life became the central theme of an award-winning documentary, SHATTERED DREAMS, A CHILD OF THE HOLOCAUST. In 2004 he published volume 1 of his memoir: BREAKING THE SILENCE—REMINISCENCES OF A HIDDEN CHILD, covering the years 1933 to 1948. This is Volume 2, L’CHAYIM! A HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR’S AMERICAN JOURNEY, and covers the years 1948 to 2015.view less
