Max (MOTEK) Lewin: "In this present world, with many tragic situations, we have to realize that in the present nuclear and atomic age there should be a warning to all humanity that to forget th e past mistakes is disastrous. We should learn from them to coexist. If that can't be, the world population will destroy itself and take the universe with it. My hope for my children and grandchildren is that they might live in a peaceful world". I was born in Lodz, Poland. When the Germans carne in 1940, I was taken for forced labor at a labor farm. From there I jumped off of a truck to try to return to my family, but, without proper papers, I was picked up and taken to build railroads as slave labor. I was moved to Zork for electrical line work, to Skarzysko to work in an ammunitions factory, and then to Sulejow to work on the "anti-panzer Schutzgraben." I was finally at Buchenwald on a death march and was liberated May 2, 1945, by the United States Army. I married in 1947 in Felderfing displaced persons camp, which is photograph in the background of my portrait. Max has lived here in the United States for the past fifty-five years. He is married and was in the restaurant business. He now lives in Florida.
