I wasn't even aware that William and Rosalie Schiff were speaking at UNT but I now plan to go.

Two summers ago I wrote for the NTDaily as an intern and had the privilege of interviewing Craig Hanley, who won the NT Mayborn institute grant for his book William and Rosalie: A Holocaust Testimony about the Schiff's experience during the Holocaust.

I was really moved by their story. It's an unbelievable one. The fact that they even survived their time at the camps and found each other afterward is remarkable enough, but that they share their story so openly is a privilege for the rest of us.
