The most impressive Holocaust survivor story I have heard....

?si=iSWGimsimIDccs1z

I have watched countless hours of statements from survivors through the USC Shoah Foundation and this man's story had me listening for hours. He is incredible. They should make this guy's life into a movie. So smart, clever, humorous and charming and an amazing memory. He was also very, very lucky. If he were a cat he'd have 22 lives. This is long but worth the time! I have listened to it twice in the last few years and I highly recommend it.

Jacobus Van Der Geest is my hero.
