For most people, the name Auschwitz brings up visions of death and despair, but we are distanced by time from the true realities of those who lived through the nightmare. Siggi Wilzeg’s story is a first-person account of the Holocaust and the monstrosities that occurred within Auschwitz.
Auschwitz survivor, Siggi Wilzeg didn’t push away the memory of the war trauma he endured. He used it as motivation to live a full and successful life.
After American troops liberated Wilzeg from the concentration camp, he was so grateful he helped the U.S. military track down Nazis and Gestapo operatives in Austria and Bavaria. He then immigrated to America when he was just 21, skinny, and broke. He worked hard at various odd jobs until he was able to start building a career in finance.
As Siggi paved a way for himself into the oil and banking industries, he never let his survivor story hold him back. Instead, he worked to preserve that memory of the Holocaust so the world wouldn’t forget the horrors committed. Eventually, he was appointed twice as the Presidential appointee to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.
The compelling insight into the psychology of an Auschwitz survivor has been recorded in Wilzeg’s book, Unstoppable: Siggi B.
