We live in an era of unpredictable and ubiquitous change and challenge. Each one of us will be confronted with difficult circumstances and some will be called on to make heroic choices. Forward With Strength is the story of a man who shone brightly in response to his own personal challenges.

From refusing to give up his education as a youth to sacrificing his future for the sake of his country, Fred Fragner’s story is a testimony to personal strength and perseverance in the face of overwhelming hardship.

Having survived five years in Buchenwald Concentration Camp, Fred came back from the abyss to provide inspiration to children of the Holocaust and to many, many youth and adults throughout his lifetime. May his story inspire a new generation to stand firm in respecting and loving their fellow sojourners on this planet we call earth.
