Speaker

William (“Bill”) Harvey was born Vilmos Herskovits to parents Zali and Aaron Herskovitz in Berehovo, Czechoslovakia on May 20, 1924. The town of Berehovo had a population of approximately 26,000 people, half of whom were Jewish. Bill, his mother, two sisters, and the Jews of the town were transported to Berehovo Ghetto. The ghetto was located in an abandoned brick factory that did not have a roof. Bill and his family were exposed to the severe winter weather. The sanitation in the ghetto was very poor, and there was little food available.
