Auschwitz Survivor Eliezer Hauser Shimoni

Eliezer Hauser survived Auschwitz and the Death March. He immigrated to Israel, after spending a year in a Cyprus Deplaced Persons Camp. Once in Israel, he changed his last name to Shimoni in honor of his father Shimon, who did not survive the Holocaust. After fighting in Israel's War of Independence, Eliezer became a founding member of an Israeli agricultural settlement (moshav), married, had three children, twelve grandchildren, and is still having great-grandchildren. Even so, memories of the horrors he experienced and witnessed in the Holocaust have haunted Eliezer throughout his life. He prays "never again."
