“I contemplated the untapped reserves of the human mind. “I concentrated so hard that I stopped feeling pain.” Just as the awful reality of internment led Viktor Frankl to uncover the true human power, so too it did for Michel, who states:
Army Counter Intelligence Corps to fight his former captors, a duty for which he was awarded the Silver Star in 2004. After surviving not just one, but multiple Nazi concentration camps, he went on to work with the U.S. Michel joined the French Resistance (at which time he changed his name), but was later caught and interned by the Nazis. He later studied in France and Austria, but as history shows, none of these countries were safe from the spread of Nazism. Born to wealthy Jewish factory owners in Poland, Michel (born Moniek Kroskof) was sent to live in Germany when growing anti-Semitism began to limit his opportunities at home. With Michel Thomas’ passing on January 8, 2005, the world lost one of the best language learners and teachers to ever live.
