I lived through a traumatic and cruel period of history. There are important lessons to be learned and personal accounts to be recorded.

"I am inspired by the need to document my story so others may learn from the past. On a personal level, I have a highly developed sense of observation of the world around me, which constantly inspires and motivates me to take action."

Max Eisen is a Hungarian Jew. In 1944, he and his family were forcibly removed from their home and eventually sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau, the notorious Nazi concentration camp. At the age of 15, Max survived the "selection" process and became a slave labourer at the camp. His remarkable story of courage and survival is told through his national best-selling book "By Chance Alone." We are honoured to welcome Max Eisen to the "A Day in the Life" stage.
