The atrocities of a Jewish genocide during World War II were given a human face Tuesday when Holocaust survivor Dr. Eugen Schoenfeld captivated a group of sixth-grade students at Southeast Bulloch Middle School. Schoenfeld was 18 years old when Nazi soldiers raided his mostly Jewish town at the base of Czechoslovakia’s Carpathian Mountains in March 1944. Removed from their home and packed into cattle cars, Schoenfeld and his family were transported, like millions of others, to a Nazi concentration camp.
