In 1945, Leopold Engleitner (born 1905), survivor of the Buchenwald, Niederhagen and Ravensbruck concentration camps, was on the run from the Nazis as a conscientious objector. As one of Jehovahs Witnesses, his conscience would not allow him to serve in Hitlers army.
Then, already an old man, Engleitner, one of the worlds oldest concentration camp survivors, began an amazing new career recounting his own experiences to ensure the terror of that time is never forgotten. Sixty-one years after World War II ended and in his 101st year, he undertook a remarkable tour of lectures that took him clear across the United States.
