not lost his faith in humanity. Often,
he said, people ask him why he
doesn’t hate the German people.
When they ask, Wiener said he tells
them a story about a sandwich.
It happened while he was in a
concentration camp, working to
dismantle a textile factory. The
goal was to turn it into an ammu
nitions factory, but in order to
maximize efficiency, the Germans
kept the women working in the
factory while it was being de
stroyed.
All over the factory, signs were
posted warning the German women
workers to stay away from the pris
oners, Wiener said. They weren’t
even allowed to look at them.
But one day, Wiener said, one of
the German women caught his eye
and discreetly offered him a sand
wich. He said it is hard to convey to
people who haven’t lived through
the Holocaust what that sandwich
meant to him at the time.
That simple gesture, a life-risk
ing move on the part of the
woman, showed him that even
among the Germans, there were
still people who cared.
Wiener said through it all, he
has never learned to hate. Instead,
he said, he has held on to the val
ues his family instilled in him as a
child.
“I was brought up to love,”
Wiener said. “I have no hatred in
me.

Boris Schwartz, a member of the Jewish Student Union, reads the names of Jews who
were killed in the Holocaust.
Junior Shayna Kent, who has
heard several Holocaust survivors
speak, said she encourages stu
dents to attend the event. To hear a
survivor’s story firsthand is much
different than watching media cov
erage about the Holocaust, she
said.
“When you hear a Holocaust
survivor speak, it’s real, it’s true,”
Kent said. “They lived it, they
breathed it.”
