#223 Unstoppable: Siggi Wilzig's Astonishing Journey from Auschwitz Survivor and Penniless Immigrant to Wall Street Legend

Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Timestamps stay in sync with the live audio

When people ask me, How did you survive? I leave out a small thing. Which isn't really a small thing. Any survivor who has a heart and brains lives with guilt. That they survived and others didn't.

My mother was sent straight to the gas chamber. My father was beaten to death. My sister Martha was murdered. My brother's Willie. And Martin.

and Louis were murdered. And here I am. And they're all dead. Why them and not me? It was as if God had his hand on my shoulder to lead and guide me when I was all alone and in mortal danger.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is 1 credit.
