posted on June 4, 2012The Boston Globe’s David Filipov travels to Auschwitz-Birknenau with Israel “Izzy” Arbeiter. Arbeiter barely survived the Nazi concentration camps, but his parents did not. The 87-year-old Arbeiter says that he made this return trip to Poland and Germany “to make my peace with what happened.” Filipov writes that Arbeiter “encounters kindness and good will, and a sincere effort among Poles and Germans to atone for the sins of the past. But peace, no. Peace eludes him at every turn.”
