First Person with Fred Kahn, August 9, 2018

Through the First Person program, Holocaust survivors have the opportunity to share their remarkable personal stories of hope, tragedy, and survival with thousands of visitors at the Museum. This program was recorded on August 9, 2018. It features Fred Kahn, who was born in Wiesebvaden, Germany, in 1932. After Adolf Hitler became chancellor in 1933, Fred's parents fled Germany for Belgium. He joined them in October 1938, just before Kristallnacht. In 1942, the family obtained false identity papers and went into hiding under the Christian surname Lejeune. On September 9, 1944, the American forces liberated the area of Belgium where they lived.
