While American teens were socializing in ice cream parlors, Siggi was suffering beatings by Nazi hoodlums for being a Jew and was soon deported along with his family to the darkest place the world has ever known: Auschwitz. Siggi used his wits to stay alive, pretending to have trade skills the Nazis could exploit to run the camp. After two death marches and near starvation, he was liberated from camp Mauthausen and went to work for the US Army hunting Nazis, a service that earned him a visa to America. On arrival, he made three vows: to never go hungry again, to support the Jewish people, and to speak out against injustice. He earned his first dollar shoveling snow after a fierce blizzard. His next job was laboring in toxic sweatshops. From these humble beginnings, he became President, Chairman and CEO of a New York Stock Exchange-listed oil company and grew a full-service commercial bank to more than $4 billion in assets"--Amazon.com.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 338.092 Wilzig Gr   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 338.092 Wilzig Gr   Checked In Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Biography B Wilzig Gr Biography Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 338.092 Wilzig Gr   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 338.092 Wilzig Gr Katz Collection Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Biography B Wilzig Gr   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Biography B Wilzig Gr   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Biography B Wilzig Gr   Checked In Add Copy to MyList
