About Yankel

This blog will be devoted to the remarkable life and experiences of Yankel "Benji" Flankenfeld, a Holocaust survivor. Yankel is a hobbling treasure trove of invaluable human heritage, and now that he is nearing the end of his remarkable residence on this planet, his friends and family have convinced him to share and publish his memories for the benefit of posterity. New posts will appear as Yankel remembers and allows his supporters to record and transcribe the inimitable richness of his words. In addition, occasional artworks of Yankel's creation and selection will appear as illustrations of his intermittent horrors and joys.
