Holocaust survivor Peter Feigl (courtesy of Peter Feigl) in 1943, and as an adult, in 2022, holding one of the diaries he wrote during World War II. US Holocaust Memorial Museum
Peter Feigl was attending a Quaker summer camp in France in 1942 when he learned that his parents had been arrested. The Nazis and their French collaborators had rounded them up with other Jews. The next day, Peter began recording his feelings and experiences in a diary, planning to share it with his parents when they reunited. But that day never came.
As we mark Anne Frank's birthday, meet Peter, who as a young boy wrote about his uncertainties and trauma during the Holocaust.
