DANIEL GOLD: HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR MEETING

Hidden by his parents as the Nazis rounded up the elderly and the children in their Ghetto, they were unable to prevent their own incarceration in Dachau Concentration camp.

When the war ended Daniel Gold, was reunited with his father but his mother perished in the camp.  He and his father made their way as refugees to Israel.  Eventually he joined the IDF as part of his compulsory military service and became a fighter pilot, fightingin both the 1967 and 1973 wars.  Following his military service he enrolled at a University and eventually rose to becoming a Professor of Medical Microbiology.  He is touring New Zealand, telling his story to high school students and re-acquainting them to the evils of intolerance and the Holocaust.  He will be addressing the society at a public meeting in Christchurch.

He has a remarkable and fascinating story to tell.
