So much information to wade through...

Lots of ads crowding the space before the end of this article.

"Fifteen-year-old Sam was almost illiterate when he arrived at Bunce Court. He was also broken in spirit, witness to repeated acts of such horror that all his faith in human behaviour had gone.

While his entire family had been rounded up to be executed or transported six years previously, Polish Sam managed to escape the ghetto and go on the run.

Alone and terrified, he lost all bearings of what it meant to be human.

After liberation, unable to find any family alive, he made it to a displaced persons camp. He described himself as 'savage.'

But he took up the offer of going to school in England. 'It took a great deal of love and determination to help us,' he said of the child survivors at Bunce.

He could remember his mum’s love. As Sam got to know Tante Anna, he felt it again.

He went on to be a professor at Humboldt State University in California, where he founded the Altruistic Behaviour Institute."
