Holocaust survivor and local writer co-write memoir of life before and after
Within the close-knit community of local Holocaust survivors, Voorhees resident Fred Behrend is known as a natural storyteller who is never at a loss for words.
Typically, after talking to groups about his experiences, he is flocked by listeners, both the young and old, and all hungry for more stories about his sheltered youth in old-world Germany or the family’s narrow escape to Cuba after the brutality of Kristallnacht. Feeding on the attention, Behrend could hold court for hours.
