Testimoniy of Solly Ganor, Survivor of Kovno Ghetto and Dachau

• Essays by Holocaust survivor Solly Ganor (PDF)
  Solly Ganor was born in Heydekrug. His family moved to Kaunas (Kovno) and on the eve of the war received visas from Japanese Consul Sugihara. The family, however, were unable to use the visas and wound up in the Holocaust. The exhibition includes photos by George Kaddish and is curated by Eric Saul. The exhibition is based on Solly Ganor's 1995 autobiography,
  Light One Candle: A Child's Diary of the Holocaust (PDF).
