Aaron Elster



Aaron experienced living in a Jewish ghetto in Poland with the everyday risk of getting sent to a death camp.

He was also sent to a labor camp to work and later went into hiding in a family's attic. Living and hiding in unsanitary, lonely conditions for two years was a very difficult time for Aaron. Aaron says that the worst part for him was the isolation that he felt.
