THIS WEEK
Torn from Home
Eric
Roth
My father was born into an ordinary European family
-wiped out in the Holocaust like so many others.
How did he survive to build a new family in Britain?
Eric Roth spent thirty years in the computer industry, and now he is a part-time GP – not for sick people, but for sick computers, which he looks after for both individuals and small businesses.
In his leisure time, Eric enjoys Stockport
Speakers’ Club, where members compete in public speaking for fun, and he has won many prizes up to United Kingdom level. At Menorah Synagogue he has served as a director, and manages the annual inter-faith Holocaust Study Day.
Eric is the son of a concentration camp survivor, Freddy Roth. Like many survivors, Freddy gave away few details of his experiences so Eric, with help from his
brother and daughters, researched Freddy’s history. Today, close to the UK’s Holocaust Memorial Day, he tells the story, vividly-illustrated, of a man from an ordinary European family – a family that was wiped out in the Holocaust like so many others – and how he survived to build a new life and a new family in Britain
