Stephen Nasser, author of My Brother’s Voice, recently returned from a month in Germany commemorating the sixtieth anniversary of the liberation of the concentration camp at Seeshaupt. Nasser traveled across the country, speaking and signing books at almost twenty different venues, often two or three locations in one day, telling the story of his struggles and survival in a concentration camp as a young boy, and sharing the story of his brother, who did not survive.
As part of the festivities, Nasser participated in the launch of the German version of his book, Die Stimme meines Bruders, by Wolfgang Maximoser. In addition, German filmmaker Walter Steffen premiered his ninety minute documentary, Endstation Seeshaupt, reenacting the route of the Death train from the Muhldorf concentration camp to Seeshaupt, the point of liberation by General Patton’s third army on April 30, 1945.
Mr. Nasser’s visits were also recognized in German newspapers, with local dignitaries and other concentration camp survivors. His tireless dedication to telling his story, his brother’s story, and to Holocaust education is remarkable.
