//"Two angels, my father and my wife, have truly guided me throughout my journey...Their constant care and blessings, even after their deaths, have led me to where I am today. My agels provide me with the hope to always envision a good future for me, and for humanity as a whole."//


 * Bernard Marks** - Bernie was 7 years old when the Germans invaded Poland. He and his family would end up confined in the Jewish ghetto of Lodz, before being sent to the concentration camps at Auschwitz and later Dachau. Of the 200 extended family members he had in his early years, only five — his father, two cousins and an aunt — would survive the war. Marks’ mother and brother were both killed in Dachau.


 * 7th Annual Eleanor J. Marks Holocaust Essay Contest - Sponsored by Bernie Marks, this annual contest is an invitation to students to study and to remember the Holocaust.
