First Person 2017: Peter Gorog

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 11, 2017. It features Peter Gorog, who was born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1941. In October 1944, Peter and his mother Olga joined other family members in the Budpaest ghetto. They remained there until the Soviets liberated the city in January 1945.
