Holocaust survivor to speak in Albuquerque

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A Holocaust survivor who fled Budapest to Mexico during World War II is scheduled to speak in Albuquerque. Holocaust & Intolerance Museum of New Mexico announced this week that Samuel Marein-Efron will speak at the center on February 9. Marein-Efron was born into a wealthy Budapest family but was forced to flee after anti-Semitic laws were passed in Hungary. His family later ended up in Mexico City in 1941. His father later helped refugees from Poland.
