Noted Author & Holocaust survivor Eva Schloss was in the Quad Cities as the featured speaker at this year's Holocaust Remembrance Day Service.

While in the Quad Cities, she also attended several performances of the multi-media production," And Then They Came for Me", which is based upon the recollections of Eva Schloss and several other Holocaust survivors.

This week on Perspective, host Susan McPeters talks with Mrs. Schloss about her experiences as a child in the Birkenau Concentration Camp, and of those after the war when her mother married Otto Frank, the father of Anne Frank. By coincidence, the Schloss and Frank families lived in the same apartment building in Amsterdam and knew one another before they went into hiding. Schloss is the author of the book," Eva's Story."
