Manfred Goldberg, a remarkable individual, has lived a life marked by great struggle and resilience, having survived the atrocities of the Holocaust.
In December 1941, a pivotal moment in his life, Manfred, along with his mother and younger brother, was forcibly deported by train from Germany to the Riga Ghetto in Latvia, a grim and desolate place that would become his temporary home.
The harsh realities of life in the ghetto would soon give way to an even more daunting fate, as Manfred, his family, and countless others were evacuated to the notorious Stutthof concentration camp, situated near Danzig, which would later become Gdańsk, Poland, in August 1944.
The camp's brutal conditions would test the limits of human endurance, and yet, Manfred's determination to survive would remain unwavering. His journey would continue, until finally, on May 3, 1945, he was liberated at Neustadt in Germany, a moment that would mark the beginning of a new chapter in his life.
