At the age of five, Zoltan Zinn-Collis was torn from his family home in Slovakia and cast into the deepest horrors of a Nazi concentration camp. In Bergen-Belsen he survived the brutality of the SS guards, the ravages of near starvation, disease, and squalor. He witnessed acts of mass murder and torture, and all but one member of his family died there, his mother losing her life on the very day the British finally marched into the camp.

Discovered by an Irish Red Cross nurse who described him as 'an enchanting scrap of humanity', Zoltan was brought to Ireland and adopted by one of the liberators, Dr Bob Collis, who raised him as his own son.

However, this was not the end of Zoltan's ordeal. In Belsen he contracted a deadly strain of Tuberculosis, and had to endure years of torturous medical treatments - a painful reminder of his lost childhood. But, through the love and dedication of his adopted father he was nursed back to health and given a second chance. Zoltan lost one family but found another. Now aged 65, Zoltan is ready to recount his painful past. He hopes that by speaking out, he may warn future generations of the consequences of intolerance, racism and hate.
