Holocaust Survivor From Poconos Passes Away - Monday, June 1, 2009 at 9:25PM EST

STROUDSBURG, MONROE COUNTY- A well-known Holocaust survivor from the Poconos has died. 92-year-old Tom Breslauer passed away Sunday at his Stroudsburg home.
Breslauer made a speaking appearance in Wilkes-Barre just 6-weeks ago. He told high school students how he survived a Nazi concentration camp as a young man.

He says he considered these speeches his life's work for the past 20-years. "This is why I talk to young people, mainly to young people because I want to tell them how important it is not to hate," he told Eyewitness News that day.

Funeral services for Breslauer are tomorrow at Temple Israel in Stroudsburg.
