From hell to Hollywood
Article Abstract:
Liberating concentration camps at the end of the second world war was an unforgettable experience, according to Michael Thomas, who spent two years in French concentration and labour camps before joining the US Army. He was born a Polish Jew into a wealthy family, and recalls that he grew up surrounded by love, which gave him a strong sense of self-worth. He feels that he survived the second world war by regarding it as a personal battle. He went to the US in 1947, and opened a language school where he gradually developed a very unusual teaching technique.
