The Jewish Teenager who hid in the German Army (Strange Stories of WWII)



2nd Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPdc6bs3I8s6Y4QE_3g3MZw
The incredible true story of Solomon Perel, a Jewish teenager who at the height of the Second World War found refuge in the most unlikely of places, among the ranks of the German Wehrmacht itself. Solomon, affectionately nicknamed ‘Sally’ by his family and friends, would spend the entirety of the war hiding in plain sight first as a member of the German infantry and later as a well-respected member of the Hitler Youth. As the Jewish population was hunted all around him, Solomon was forced to live in constant fear that his secret would be exposed and his life extinguished. Discover the remarkable ventures and challenges that lay before Solomon as he coped with life in Nazi Germany and wrestled to protect his hidden identity.

  1. The aim of the Social Mind Center is to promote interdisciplinary research that investigates the link between sociality and cognition. The research activities at the center aim at a new understanding of how the human mind enables and constrains social life including coordination and the transmission of ideas and practices, and how human minds are shaped by cultural practices. The interdisciplinary research at the center will integrate cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and robotics approaches to cognition with social sciences approaches and philosophical approaches that target the interplay between biological and cultural determinants of the human mind. 

    The Social Mind Center consists of four research groups:

    Adaptive Cognition and Economics (ACE)Language Comprehension Lab (LCL)OStension, Communication and Relevance (OSCAR)Social Mind and Body (SOMBY)?????

  4. My Great Aunt Del escaped Ausch…came to America with her baby sister, my grandmother. She always told us and the rest of the family that she and her family came from Lithuania. In fear of being chased down and hunted. The family was Jewish, from Russia, and were forced into labor and death camps. We only found out after she had passed away, and she left everything for us to discover and read. The other odd thing is, on my fathers side of the family, we are from Bavaria – dating back to 900AD…the same village Einstein came from, fought for the Holy Roman Empire for nearly 400 years and also was the family and village that arrested Hitler for his Beer and Pretzels speech/rally and dragged him back to the capital; Then the family mostly came to Canada, US, Australia. Nova Scotia, Boston to be precise, most of them.

  6. Auschwitz has been a concentration camp. "Quite light" (survivable) in comparison to Mauthausen/Gusen according to their prisoner S. Grzesiuk. It has been Birkenau (formally Auschwitz II – Birkenau) which has been the actual extermination camp.
