    Dickie Groenteman’s childhood was one of blissful innocence. Dickie’s father Elias was a successful businessman, his mother Rosetta a skilled dressmaker and his big sister Betty showered him with love. It was a beautiful life for the Groentemans and for Dickie looked like it would only get better.

    An ice hockey prodigy, the future was bright - and then came the invasion.

    Very few eye witnesses to the atrocities of the death camps are still alive today. Some of the tales David 'Dickie' Groenteman shares about his 3 years as a prisoner at Auschwitz, Mauthausen and the other camps are harrowing but there are also moments of hope. Dickie wants you to hear what he endured, so that humanity may learn from its evil past.
