Illinois Holocaust Museum Preserves Survivors' Stories — As Holograms
Holocaust survivor Sam Harris has told the story of how he survived the Holocaust
hundreds of times.
He's talked about his experience in the Nazis' concentration camps with school groups and in videos for oral history archives. He even wrote a children's book.
