Simon Says (2013)

Father of three (David is his youngest son), married to Shirley for 59 years, and a Florida resident since 1989, Simon has lived five distinct lives. Born in Lodz, Poland in 1923 to Jewish parents, Simon grew up in a lively courtyard in the poorest area of the city. The invasion of the Nazis in September, 1939 shattered that existence. Surviving imprisonment in the Lodz Ghetto (only 5% of the original residents did) he then endured two and a half years of slave labor in Germany itself. He was sent to work in Auschwitz and survived, despite the dismal death rate for worker-prisoners at that camp. Things only got worse after that. In the last five months of the war, Simon descended into the vilest depths of the Nazi's living hell. Again and again he survived the worst his captors could mete out. On his last day under Nazi persecution, he felt the clutches of death surround him more closely than ever.
