As it happens, Pierre's "girlfriend of 35 years" is my beloved aunt Adele (herself, incidentally, a remarkable person as well); seeing them together is a real blessing and example of a truly loving relationship. I'm off to your Myspace page now, Pierre. I'm so happy I found this site (the link was sent to me by my sister, Shira) and am looking forward to reading more of your story. Hoping to see you again soon, Michael I see I’m a little late to this party, but I could not leave without thanking Pierre for sharing his story and to Susan Henderson for bringing it to this audience.

I happened to stumble across Pierre's accounting and couldnt help realiseing how postiive and kind he comes across. I only happened to come across this, as i am studying the subject of 'Growth and Decay' in my textiles class, thus leading me onto concetration camps which i have focussed on. Pierre sounds like an amazingly brave man, as well as being modest and humble, as he realises how lucky he was, to survive Auschwitz. I truly admmire him. all the best, rachel x As i sit here on a free at my college in Durham, North East England.
