By Saul Balagura *67

Published Jan. 21, 2016

Drawing on his background in psychology, Saul Balagura explores the mind of a 102-year-old holocaust survivor. Describing the flashbacks holocaust survivor Dr. Jacob Nathan experiences on a trail in Mexico, The Last Witness digs deep into the psychology of the holocaust to show that healing cannot erase the scars of the past. Balagura holds advanced degrees in medicine and psychology and is now an artist and writer in Houston, Texas.
