First Person 2017: Julius Menn

Through the First Person program, Holocaust survivors have the opportunity to share their remarkable personal stories of hope, tragedy, and survival with thousands of visitors at the Museum. This program was recorded on May 18, 2017. It features Julius Menn, who was born in 1919 in the Free City of Danzig (now Gdańsk, Poland). Julius and his family had emigrated to Palestine in 1935 but returned to Europe in 1938. After World War II began, the Menn family was able to escape through Lithuania and the Soviet Union and make their way back to Palestine.
