Holocaust Survivor Daniel Goldsmith Shares his Powerful Life Story with Students of The Pathway School

Holocaust Survivor Daniel Goldsmith, who arrived in the U.S. in 1948 at age 12, after spending years separated from his family, in an orphanage and multiple prisons in Belgium, recently presented “Preserving History to Learn From the Past,” to students of The Pathway School’s upper school who have studied the Holocaust in their classroom. Goldsmith is affiliated with the Holocaust Awareness Museum and Education Center at the Klein JCC in Philadelphia.

In his presentation, Goldsmith creates a visual idea for the audience of what he experienced during the Nazi invasion. His presentation is filled with photographs of life before the Nazi invasion and a photo of the book he read which mentions his father’s fate. Students had the opportunity to address questions to Goldsmith at the end of the program.
