AND THEN THE NAZIS CAME

About the Book

“I am one of the few fortunate survivors of the holocaust and the sole survivor of my immediate family. I am compelled to tell my story so future generations will never allow such tragedy to ever happen again. My story is not only about me, it’s about all of us. It could happen again and is happening every day somewhere. Totally innocent people are caught in the crossfi re between powers that do not respect human life; mass murder has become a common occurrence.” Mr. Mayer currently lives in Pennsylvania with his wife Roslyn.

About the Author

Seymour Mayer was born in 1926 and grew up in Bistrita, Romania. Life in the Transylvania countryside seemed nothing short of Idyllic. As the war in Europe raged, this corner of the world remained relatively untouched by the Germans. In 1940 half of Transylvania, including his town, was ceded to Hungary. And then the Nazis came. In the spring of 1944 the Germans deported Seymour, his family and all the Jews from the region to Auschwitz. A year later the US Army liberated Seymour from the hell and depravity of the camps. This is his harrowing tale.
