Manny Steinberg (1925–2015)

Hersh Mendel "Manny" Steinberg was born to Jewish parents in the small town of Radom, Poland. He was a teenager when Nazi Germany invaded the country in 1939 in World War II. He and his family were forced with other Jews into a ghetto and experienced starvation, torture, sexual abuse, and ultimately deportation. Manny was sent to four Nazi concentration camps: Dachau, Auschwitz, Vaihingen and Neckagerach. He survived nearly six years in the camps, along with his father and one brother. Together they emigrated to the USA after the war. Manny and his wife Wilhelmina (Mimi) had three children and lived in the Los Angeles area. Although he never attended school past the third grade, he managed to always support his family while providing a foundation of strength and love. He wrote Outcry: Holocaust Memoirs, published in 2015, to fulfill a promise he made to himself during his first days of freedom. It was also published in French and German translations.
