Werner Reich discusses his experiences during his time spent at a concentration camp, and how he chooses to look at life with laughter instead of sorrow. Werner was kept alive as a slave laborer from his ability to tell a bad joke. Today, Werner shares his stories and knowledge with children at schools in hopes that an event like the Holocaust will never occur again.
