IF YOU HEARD WHAT JOEY HEARD

JOEY SHARES THE STORY OF HIS GRANDFATHER, JOSEPH PITSON, WHO WAS FROM SALONIKA (THESSALONIKI), GREECE - A THRIVING JEWISH COMMUNITY OF OVER 50,000 BEFORE THE HOLOCAUST. JOEY SHARES HOW HIS GRANDFATHER, JOSEPH, SURVIVED AUSCHWITZ, HAVING LOST HIS WIFE AND TWO YOUNG SONS. HE RETURNED HOME WITH HIS BROTHER AFTER THE WAR - THE ONLY SURVIVING MEMBER OF HIS FAMILY - TO FIND THE COMMUNITY DECIMATED, WITH APPROXIMATELY ONLY 2,000 JEWS SURVIVING. JOSEPH REBUILT HIS LIFE, FIRST IN SALONIKA, WHERE HE REMARRIED, AND THEN IN THE U.S. WHERE HIS TWO CHILDREN WERE BORN.

IF YOU HEARD WHAT JOEY HEARD, YOU WOULD NEVER FORGET.
