Milton Mendel Kleinberg
Milton Mendel Kleinberg is a Holocaust survivor and author, born in 1930 in Poland. His book, 'Bread or Death: Memories of My Childhood During and After the Holocaust,' recounts his harrowing experiences during World War II. Kleinberg was only nine years old when the war broke out, and he survived through a combination of luck, quick thinking, and the bravery of others, including his mother who played a crucial role in his survival.
After the war, Kleinberg eventually emigrated to the United States, where he rebuilt his life from scratch. He entered the business world, eventually becoming a successful entrepreneur in Omaha, Nebraska. His journey from a war-torn Europe to achieving the American Dream is not only a testament to his resilience but also serves as an inspiration to many.
In addition to his memoir, Kleinberg has been involved in Holocaust education, sharing his experiences with younger generations to ensure that the horrors of the Holocaust are not forgotten. His story is a poignant reminder of the human capacity for both evil and incredible strength, resilience, and compassion in the face of unimaginable adversity.
