This week, Ira spoke with Joshua M. Greene, author of UNSTOPPABLE: From Auschwitz Survivor and Penniless Immigrant to Wall Street Legend, The biography of Siggi B. Wilzig. In this chutzpahdik episode of Ira’s Everything Bagel, Joshua talks about the amazing life of Wilzig and how he survived the concentration camps and death marches through chutzpah and sheer cunning; why he remained religious despite seeing the evil around him; how he came to America and became a Wall Street legend by succeeding in two traditionally anti-semitic industries (oil and banking); his wicked sense of humor; his lifelong commitment to teaching about the holocaust; how he managed his nightmares; and his main message: never give in to despair.
